    This might be the hardest pill to swallow because well we all know not everything last forever. The reasoning behind me saying this is that when I think about money, time, and investment like with the updates and roadmap I strongly disagree with how much effort you'd put into something that can get shut down tomorrow. I will say I know a lot people will get triggered at this concept but hey that's just ML sometimes. Like those people who buy WS for 120m or lower haha.

    The recommendation is that you make a new game. You have the resources and you'd have the money if you made a goal and everything on that one website all those lame game companies use. I have seen people give millions to games that haven't come out for many years.

    Why not just make a game?
    That way you never have to work about getting shut down and you make a business you put effort into a life style, you would make a lot of money doing it just look at how big MS was in old school.
    And don't no one hit me with that they will stay forever bull crap, no one can promise it will stay forever which is sad but I will keep playing I love the community and love the guild I am in. Very nice.

    My question is to the owners and coders/staff why not make it? I'm sure if this whole community put our might together and came together we could make a game 100x better than Old school maple and it would be legit. Neckson can't do anything, as long as we don't straight out copy the game I think.

    I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts, I personally would throw so much money at a new game, the only reason I don't donate to the server is just I don't want it to get shut down the next day because someone forgets to use a VPN and Neckson finds them.. lol.

    I hope no one takes offense to this, I know some will but surely we have all thought that one day that someone would make a game like MapleStory I don't know I can't be the only one. Anyways thanks for the time

    I mean, this is kind of a strange place to ask for a new game to be made. I personally play and enjoy MapleLegends because I enjoyed v62 Maple and am playing for the nostalgia. I know a lot of other players are just here to get their nostalgia kick too, not to experience something new.

    And sure, making a new game might be profitable, but not everyone wants to monetize their hobby.

    This isn't to say I wouldn't play a MMORPG similar to Maple if it came out, but rather that I think asking the current staff to put their time & effort towards a different kind of creative project entirely might be misreading their motivations for why they currently work on MapleLegends.

    I am unsure if your general feelings is mutual with the majority of the community as most came to Legends to relive the nostalgia that it gives in the first place. Also from my perspective as a game designer, i kinda feel that you are kinda underestimating the cost, manpower, time, and resources needed to produce a game.

    Personally, your concerns with donations on the server is fine but i'd make a point that Legends would not have survived for the past 5 years if every player or past donor held the same thoughts. On another note, i'd find it incomprehensible that Neckson would be unaware of servers like ours, royals, or saga. The only reason why no further action is taken is because the servers do not severely impact the profits of Neckson so much as to warrant a cease and desist order.

    At this point I think I could see Neckson or Maple dying in some way before Legends does.

    There's a lot of work involved in both maintaining Legends with new events and moderating the game that developing something new would be a very large challenge, and I don't think many of the folks on staff are willing to put in the full work days of effort over a long period to create a completely new game. Some put in so much effort already(Thank them and show your appreciation where you can, everyone is just a volunteer SlimeLaugh) but they also lead lives of their own with jobs and friends and family. It's a very tall order that would lead to some neglect in some areas and burnout in others.

    Reject it all you want, in the end when this server is done you will ask yourselves "What did we accomplish in the end"?
    The guy who made unreal ludi maplestory it took him not that long haha, to think something is hard is a simple term you limit yourself to one server, to one game, to one concept and you will never grow.
