Is it just me or is maple trying to be just like world of warcraft? I found it pretty pathetic. As most of you know cataclysm will be coming out for world of warcraft in december, and by coincidence, maple's BIG bang is coming out in December....cataclysm is completely reforming world of warcraft....and the big bang is completely reforming maple. What are your guys' thoughts on this?

no way maplestory is like WOW, oh and maplestory is 2D
It's not a coincidence, big bang has been in KoreaMS for ages and it just happens that v93 will be in december O.oOriginally Posted by TheRealEpic
I doubt they are trying to be like WOW.
Considering WoW has 10 races and 10 jobs (so far... Cataclysm will add 1 more of each to my knowledge)... I don't quite see how MS is trying to be like WoW. Also, as someone stated already, KMS has had BB for awhile now, and it was planned on, as well as worked on before Cataclysm was even publicly announced...
Maple copies a LOT from WoW.
Example #1:
Big Bang (Early 2010) --> Cataclysm (Summer 2009 Trailer/Announced)
Example #2:
Armor set bonus (2010) --> WoW had it near startup (2003~2004)
Example #3:
Armor stat color (Enhancement): Green = Uncommon, Blue = Rare, Purple = epic
Maple (2010) --> WoW (2003~2004) Since startup

El oh el? Seriously bro? Maple had colored stated armor since it first started. gray = under average, white = average, blue = good, purple = rare, yellow = godly. How is that copying WoW? Other games have had the same thing.
Armor bonus, again... other games have had the same thing.
It still is debatable. You can't excuse the fact MMORPGs do tend to get ideas from each other. Not exact copies, but near for the most part.
offtopic:
Lady gaga copied so called: MADONNA copied so called: Marilyn Monroe copied so called: other startups
I personally have no real interest in most MMORPGs because of the very fact in which originality is lacking.
Two people have the same birthday, they must be twins.
^ Lol
This thread is pointless can we please close. IMO, Nearly all MMORPGS are the same besides the graphics.. They all have the same point:
Level up
Do quests
Level up
Instances/PQs
Mass scroll your armor
Get rich
Level up
Get more rich
Hunt some bosses
Other startups -> Cher and stuff.
Not that they really are the same though. I have both GaGa and Madonna on iTunes, seent heir live performances, completely different. Even though both are pure showbizz.
MMORPG's add stuff to keep the company running.
I wasn't talking about colored name, I was addressing the Item enhancement system added in v88. The borders of the items are what I'm talking about, which was copied from WoW.
they didnt copy WoW, they get inspiration from everywhere they feel like.
No it did not. Colored armor was added in around v60ish.
But still, all MMOs are similar. Get over it @ OP
I am fairly sure it always had orange.
Yes, that is correct.
It never had blue, gray, gold or purple though.
