For NL I would restore their uniqueness by stealing all of our class and style from other classes. Gimme back those speed boosts and your double jumps and long range and dodge rate!

But really it would be nice to revert Showdown's nerf on bossing. Just don't halve the effect at bosses anymore Nexon and it will be golden

V update is one of the larger updates to ever hit Maplestory (behind only BB, RED and Unleashed), and historically Nexon always places the larger updates in the Summer and Winter. The first part of our Winter update will drop later this month, and we have confirmation it will be at least a little bit related to the V update (though it will probably be pre events imo) due to the event calendar in game showing its rewards as being V coins. 5TH job update is actually right on time for GMS

Because it's doing very poorly in Korea.

I think a Chinese version is supposed to be coming out soon. If that does well, then maybe they'll try to push on into the English-speaking world.

Really? I don't keep up with it but I figured it wouldn't last too long. I am a bit disappointed as it looked extremely promising. Its biggest problem, in my eyes, was that it was almost entirely focused on cosmetics which meant it didn't have nearly enough content to justify playing it for any extended period of time (ie a year or longer). Some people had assured me that they had been getting sizeable updates, but ever since Max stopped covering them on his blog I haven't been able to check as to whether that was true or not

it's doing fine actually, the server is pretty populated as I can always find groups of people playing even during not peak hours, and when you can constantly see people playing when there are 200 channels to choose from that says something.

also I can fill in patch info, Max quit doing MS2 cause he doent find it as interesting as MS

for example in KMS2 over the summer, when KMS was getting the V patches, KMS2 was getting a level extention to lvl 99, a new boss, 2 new classes, a new area, and some new PvP stuff along with some system changes and events

Interesting.

Well NL already have a double throw, triple throw, quadruple throw, and with hyper skills a quintuple throw. And since we know how much Nexon loves the word "Sex" in their game, the next obvious step is to skip it and just give NL Septuple throw, which would also be affected by the hyper skill granting an extra star, for an informal Octople throw.

Only logical move by Nexon really.
