[♥♥♥♥ off 114.236.3.141]

this game started out great and then when first people reached max lvl it died cause end game is one big middle finger, its ussualy just pay to win once ur end game and it sucks. rip, u tried nexon

[Kyrios]

If winning is looking good through purchased non-statted fashion, then I agree with you that the game is definitely P2W!

If it's not, then we'll happily accept cited information on what features you think are P2W!

thaths the whole point dude, every mmorpg gets boring at the end so cosmetics are the only thing that can satasfie better people, this game needs money to get better cosmetics, but ur game is free so whatever... its also really ffun but u should probably reduce the price of mesos for cosmetics

[CherryPie]

yup game is dead.

[Maya-Neko]

Did you play another game than i did?

Problem with free 2 play mmo is that it's free... so the dev have to find the way to get money. also mmo like this require maintenance and update, unlike offline game that you buy and done.

aside from that, the game mechanic is really bad though. it's fun for a moment but get boring later on because most of content is locked behind gear scores, this game need serious update like new town, new area and the reason why people get boring because you reach end game too easy i mean you get to max level in like 2 days?

also you can't grind the adds, it give literally trash exp and no money to upgrade your gear. but seriously not ms2 is dead. MMORPG is dead

Here's a fun fact: A game isn't dead just because you don't like it.

[Prince995]

Fun fact: All people who complain about the game being P2W or simply bad haven't even played the game... AT ALL... or have a private profile... because yeah...

I generally feel a little bad, because I believe that the Steam version of MapleStory 2 has a few troubles. Namely, the false-positive bans (this is unique to Steam) from our automatic fraud detection really left a bad mark on our game reviews, and I think people on Steam avoid ratings under Mostly Positive like the plague. That and getting customer support or redeeming codes on Steam is just plain arduous compared to players who use the Nexon Launcher.

While I'm glad Steam makes up a pretty small portion of our total playerbase I also feel sad that these forums don't get nearly as much daily activity as, say our official Discord[discord.gg].

Well I would like to say yes the game has lost a few players however there's still a ton of people here and in its current state made quite a few friends recently. The developers and the community people are some of the nicest peeps I've met. Honestly, you should give it a try again or anyone who's curious on playing this game. I think it's beyond better than the original. :)

I actually quit playing due to the game punishing end game players from grinding for gear from dungeons (Limiting you to a fixed amount of loot weekly) and lack of things to do.

So i don't think it's just the reviews from false bans that was it's downfall.

I haven't played MS2 yet, but from the look of it there's no new and engaging endgame content and with Nexon's reputation it's no wonder the game has declined faster then normal.

I like this game. And the Community is verfy friendly now. You have no bots there, this is good.

I was watching about 10 bots gather on the first main map you can 3 star on, all in perfect alignment, this was only an hour into the game too.

The next map where you throw barrels was even worse.

i like how everyone complains about the playerbase going down, minus at launch.
how do we not know if a majority of those players was bots?
it was bound to have a lot of players at launch. then it got a ton of bots. then got them removed and now it seems very low because of that. at least thats my take on it. as one time there was 100's of bots coming through a map like half a year ago, that's how i grinded for my cruel title in the pvp area. (which is get 500 kills)

This game really isn't pay to win. i have much more issues with it than that. imo it's one of the least pay to win games nexon has ever made and im very pleased and happy with them for that.
i just wished there was more of a reason to travel across the world they have put so much effort into making. some of the maps are great. :c i wished we had a reason to visit more of them. seems like a waste.
