… because a new game is taking their place!

It’s called PopTag, a new game made by NexonAmerica.
Basically, it’s kind of like the hit game BomberMan, but replace the characters with KartRider characters.

What do you think guys?

Will this game be successful or will it be sent down the river like KartRider? D:

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a totally awesome holiday. Too bad we’re stuck in school again !It’s a new year, and more importantly a new decade! 2010 is sure to be a great year and I would like to thank everyone has been with us since 2007 when we were just a bunch of kids writing about a video game. We really appreciate your support over the years and hope to continue to supply you with a reliable source for MapleStory news for as long as MapleStory remains online.

The past month has been a slow one and I would like to apologize to our readers for that. There hasn’t been a steady flow of news and updates on the site. We have all been busy with our own lives. I’ve been working vigorously with my band (which is my true passion) and most of our staff has been busy with school. Not to mention there really hasn’t been anything going on that you couldn’t just visit the official MapleStory website to find out.

This past summer the private server situation reached a climax. As Nexon was able to gain control of the private server situation there was a drastic drop in news and frankly interest in them. Private servers have been a popular reading topic amongst maplers throughout 2009 but now they seem irrelevant. Of course private servers will always remain a sensitive and important topic, but any recent stories we could have published would only be satisfying private server owners who get a kick out of seeing a front page story about the closing of their server. Not only are these articles boring and often provoke “who cares” attitudes they also lead to dozens of inappropriate spam comments that would normally get you banned from a forum. Therefore, in 2010 we will be limiting the amount of private server closure posts and commenting will be disabled. Although we appreciate everyone’s interest in commenting on our website and sharing their thoughts with others, inappropriate comments ruin the viewing experience for others. This does not mean we will not be posting articles about private servers, it just means that we intend to make your reading experience at maple-news.com more enjoyable and safer overall.

We look forward to making some changes to the site and releasing our news and music radio station in partnership with VuWave. If you are interested in becoming a news anchor and/or DJ send an e-mail to apply@maple-news.com inquiring about the position.

Once again thanks to everyone for your support. We never expected so many people would visit our website every day and read our news. We love you guys and hope you had a great holiday!

-Savage
