1. Simple one, is it good?
2. How's the population?
3. Should i even start playing with the global one (maybe) coming out soon?
EDIT: 4. Oh and, are there any former Maplestory players that switched to GO, any thoughts on what's less good and what's better?
Thanks in advance

1. That all depends on the player and if you like the style of the game or not. Being a general gamer, I've played quite a few games, and, in my opinion, Ghost is a pretty good game.
2. The population on the Malaysian servers is almost 0. The people you do see running around are 30% likely to be a hacker / botter. Malaysia's version also is very buggy and they are very lazy when it comes to hack prevention.
3. If you are interested in trying Ghost, then yes, I would suggest playing the global version when it comes out.
4. I'm a former Mapler. In fact I kind of still play it every now and then out of sheer boredom. This is out of the point, but I'm a level 80 sader in Scania, IGN DuoBladezman. Anyways, in comparison, yes Ghost IS much more fast paced. Let me make a little chart so it's easy for you to understand.
