darmor will be next $sink$ they are working onThey aren't trying to kill the game. If they were they would just shut it down.
Why try to slowly kill something that you can just end at any time?
Nevermind the fact that Nexon is spending more money on the western market in recent years.
Why would they increase budget if the idea was to kill the market off?
Just to give a reason why, theoretically, if you want to kill the game but still keep getting some earnings then what you could do is slowly decrease the amount of resources, decreasing the overall quality of the game and making the f2p players go while keeping your dedicated whales still paying, therefore keeping earnings up for a time. That way you can end the outside dwindling services while keeping your main Korean game up which do generate significant earnings. A completely exaggerated, paranoid, conspiratorial and doomsday theory that holds no water but I just found it funny to think.
Real talk though given that they still have the set up for Darmoor, keep spending money on beautiful art and music, new classes that require testing, and keep on designing events (even if they are always kill a bunch of stuff for stuff), it shows that, at least the higher ups in Korea do care about the game. Its GMS that sucks at management and (supposedly) KMS draconian stipulations that make it hard for overseas MS services to keep the level of quality and testing the KMS side gets (this last bit of course are rumors and nothing has been proven but it would make sense).
KMS is doing great, their numbers are growing and MS is not dead as long as KMS keeps on pushing content. Its GMS who needs to learn to not screw their community up at every opportunity, like with Buff Freezers or the DLoD event.
so multiple sources claim same numbers +- and you claim milions ?
sure lets say there was somehow "milions" isnt that worse to hear now from "milions" to 10k-5k ?
i dont know where you see the rise?
I don't claim millions. Nexon did.

That is ancient history however. This is where all those empty servers came from.
We're not rising from that, which was 10 years ago. The rise is in recent history.
You cannot dispute hard numbers. There is an obvious increase on steam.
If there is a rise on Nexon Launcher as well is unknown, since Nexon doesn't release those numbers.
That's where you're wrong.also about dying am sure it will never happend there is no game that did die just like that

Games do shut down all the time.
The game still had plenty of interest but the company responsible for development seems to have vanished.
They are in fact trying to kill the game so they have an excuse for not making maple great again. its up to us the voices of Maplestory to voice our concern to this issue and be loud about it. This will also require that new CM to act for the community and voice our concerns directly.
Will the team fight for the people or will they let the game die? That will be shown from this moment to the time of reckoning. People and Maplestory community don't be silent "be the voice".
They aren't trying to kill the game. If they were they would just shut it down.

Also Riza, please stop trying to talk about Maple as if it's a nation or movement of people. It's over dramatic and adds nothing to your posts.
we decide to remove new leaf cityWe have reviewed the gameplay data for the content in MapleStory and saw that few players were participating in these quests. Since this is the case, we have decided to remove these quests, to clean up some old data that can potentially be abused and better manage our client size.
