Maple itself is dying. MSEA's database and mass hackings with the Chinese hackers, Global being hacked like crazy, possibly database hacked, and the GM being hacked, KoreanMS with their introductions of pretty much pay-to-play limited-time classes, etc. etc. The golden days of Maple were over starting around the time Global got fourth job and the rise of private servers happened. MapleStory is going down hill already. Whether or not they'll still be around in 5 years may be another story, but they're definitely starting to lose popularity.
