Check out GameZone's interview with MapleStory Lead Producer Crystin Cox. As Stefanie Fogel discusses with Crystin Cox about what changed in the revamp called the Big Bang from the original game and what the player’s reaction was to the change.

These days, extreme makeovers seem to be all the rage in the MMO genre. Azeroth recently went through some earth-shattering changes (literally) in World of Warcraft's third expasion, Cataclysm. Now, Nexon's free-to-play MMORPG MapleStory is experiencing a rebirth of its own thanks to a big bang. The massive, three-part "Big Bang" update is bringing major changes to the long-running online game. In addition to a graphical overhaul, players can expect to see all-new stories, classes and locations, as well as an easier leveling system designed to reduce the grind so familiar to MMOs. GameZone recently had a chance to ask MapleStory Lead Producer Crystin Cox a few questions about what it's like to rebuild a MMORPG from the ground up.
