I am changing my opinion about Classic Maplestory

when you see a new thread on SP but it's just a pikamemnon nostalgia goggles thread

A nostalgia thread? Where?

Jokes on the side, I was one of the Classic players who was very closely watching the efforts to get Nexon to do an official server. All I can tell you about that is it did not end well.

Like watching a sporting event and it just turns into a complete blowout.
As I alluded to before, in game terms the thought that I had was of a party getting wiped out.

When Nexon makes up a rule to specifically target a topic then you know that the suggestion is in trouble.
When Nexon moves to a brand new forum and brings over said rule, there are not really a lot of ways to explain or escape that.
Preventing spam sounds good on paper but a total ban about discussion of a Classic server?

When it comes to the saga of Classic Maplestory, Nexon wrote themselves in as the villains. They had ample time to reverse this role if they had wanted to but instead chose to wreck the last official bridge of public communication. I wish that the news were more positive but this trail of events looks like a Nexon created disaster and an utter disappointment at almost every level.

Maybe its fine if you only like the new maple but as far as I know, they still have not given a straight answer about a Classic or legacy server.
