MapleStory 2 Official Diagnosis And Cure: Ease The Old Way Of Progression Isn't A Permanent Solution

As the most Maplers might have seen, MapleStory 2 and its developers were progressing the so-called "Project New Leaf" and gradually extended the untouched categories that have been publically recognized as "contents with fatal flaws".

Last Friday, The Project New Leaf updated and published a new announcement about patching up some new contents which have been bothering the game and affected players' retention so long as the others. These patchy contents include Epic Pets, Mesos Sink Reduction, Legendary Gear, Accessory Fragment Fusion and so on. It looks like the fourth overhaul to the game is nailed down and scheduled. Meanwhile, as far as we know, MapleStory 2 developers do not want it as the last stop. It means that there will be definitely one or more sequels of this update in order to address MapleStory 2 Mesos issues successfully. 

Although someone might argue with the very first intention from MapleStory 2 developers to issue these overhauls, this one is significant and thorough as the previous ones by scale. For instance, Epic Pets, as was promised in the post, would be a lot easier to be captured in this update and the odds of capturing one will increase by 600% in the game. As for Meso Sink, there is a big scope of reduction for Meso Cost in changing attributes of Legendary Gear and Accessory Fragment Fusion. So basically, in MapleStory 2, you may be faced with a less bumpy ride you will take than the present one only if this plan works out well in the near future. 

For changing attributes of Legendary Gear, a certain amount of Merets required by any times of attempts to change attributes of legendary gear will be reduced in number across the board, 1600 counts at least. For starters, the number will be reduced to 400 from 2000 as the current number of cost for the first attempt. On the other hand, all Accessory Fragment Fusion cost will be reduced by 90% in the upcoming update. 

Now, after the walk-through of all aspects of this update, I am convinced that you will get a bigger picture on this matter. As a matter of fact, generally, this update and its many predecessors have been doing a great deal of help to shorten the progression time and bridge the gap between lower-class players and well-equipped players. But like I said, what if the newcomers will do next after their progression is in the place where makes themselves contented enough? Is there any new place in the game that arouses their interest or induces them to another adventure again? Do the current contents in the game intrigues most of the advanced players and make them stay still? I am afraid that this is a series of questions any MMORPGs perhaps are faced with sometimes and only a few of them respond correctly.
