MMObros it's time to come back to the king, Maplestory.
The magic of actual positioning and choosing good skill combos has entirely vanished in the endgame where all you do is spam your highest attack, chug potions, and be healed where you can’t see anything that’s going on because of the visual explosion of numbers.
Hopping between platforms to shoot slimes with crossbows while talking with friends was magical. Everything after that was an abomination.
i won't pretend zakum and horntail were actually much better in that regard, hell the fact that stupid things like "regen more HP on ladders" is gone from warrior is a good argument for fake complexity and roping you into cash-shop skill resets
or maybe you realise that MMO's are shit, were shit, and always have been shit, and now it's time to come to terms with that and find other genres of games to play
or, you know, go outside and touch grass
one of the 2, just stop being a disgusting grindprostitute in the games you use to replace your real life because you found grinding real life to be too hard
you are wrong
your taste is shit
you are incapable of logical inference
you have a small penis
you have no subjective first person phenomenological experience because you are a chink
maplestory has been dead for a long time. they ruined the fun of it a long time ago and strung their overarching story so long and few and far inbetween that i am just turning my brain off and drooling at the numbers now. i miss when maplestory meant something, when i could make fun of stupid kids in hennesys who thought their attacks could deal damage to me, when i could grind out with my friends, when i could always meet someone new and always experience something new everytime i played, when i could haggle people in the free market. now its a barren wasteland of a few silent nobodies who dont care to enjoy the game, a game thats been fricked silly by flashy epileptic class abilities and an amount of daily quests that make you feel demented. maplestory does not exist anymore.
the soul of the game is gone >"but more people are playing it!"
playing it wrong. isolated and dead, this game is alive but soulless. its like a zombie, way past its lifetime
I came back to it a year ago when they revamped explorers after having not played it since around whenever big bang was and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The game has a lot of wonderful content now if you can stomach the gear grind and just give it a chance.
>The game has a lot of wonderful content now
but it still doesn't have what made the game Maplestory back in the day -- the community. And don't talk to me about private servers, they only offer a crude facsimile of a community.
Maple classic when...
the community is gone. The golden age of MMOs is over. Time to CC.
>Have a ton of content and balancing passes you promised but never delivered >instead lower the threshold for voting and retroactively pass all the moronic shit no one wanted the first time it came around
Why would I bother playing a game called "old school runescape" that no longer has any resemblance of fricking old school. Not to mention the playerbase who would hastily give up on the game if they don't get a new end-game toy to play with. Be it a new raid or skill that makes the game even more unrecognizable than it already is

>I want OSRS to be the same fricking game it was in 2007 forever
osrs was a course correct, not a time capsule
no one is going to sit around playing an MMO that doesn't get new content
>hurr durr copy and paste pre-eoc garbage that killed the game is actually a good thing
Another reason why the game is dying, you people dont know a good update when you see it. Most slayer bosses offer very minimal upgrades but still managed to revitalize the entire skill. Compare that to Nex or Nightmare where they just plopped a frick ton of BiS upgrades into content nobody gives a shit about. Only letting people who played the game before 2020 would filter out so many fricktards
are there any real MMOs left? I'm clinging on to WoW (classic) thinking I might relive the glory days, knowing fully well that it's never going to happen
I just want a game where I can socialize with other nerds
mate... the problem is that nobody wants to socialize in an MMO like they used to in the old days. Back in the heyday of MMOs, people took joy in being given an opportunity to make their own virtual character and shoot the shit with others in an MMO in between fighting monsters and doing quests and all that jazz. Back then people were yearning to connect with one another like this, and open to talk to randoms. Now everybody is on the Internet at all times and all that connection has perhaps become tiring. People seem to rather want to hang out in their own smaller groups on discord rather than communicate and meet ingame. MMOs are nothing without a community, and there is little in the way of a community if people want to stick to smaller groups on a third party platform, staying silent in game.
You can go play a private server with an older build or whatever if you're so certain. I tried doing that and it just wasn't the same without the community. Maybe you don't feel that way, more power to you then. But MMOs were always primarily a social experience for me.
i've been playing it for over 20 years
do you know you can get it on steam too?
thats not maplestory. this is maplestory
TPBP. OP is a gay.
I don’t have enough time to grind like a neet anymore. It’s not 2007

you have a small penis, incel
You can’t make it fun just from nostalgia. Let go.
you are wrong
your taste is shit

U mad?
you are an incel with a small penis
spoken like a true drone
>now
>jett getting cut
>RNG-gated progress
>hours and hours of dailies
No thank you.
For me, personally, myself, its a different nexon game
what did nexon pay valve to get this pixelshit plastered all over steam
Nexon has ins with Valve.
You now remember that Nexon has its own version of Counter Strike.
I mean it is fun. gotta stop believing the Ganker anti-hype
if they cut Chase I'm cutting Nexon
WonderKing >>> Maplestory
>ff14 is shit now
falseflag wow troony thread

I've tried playing MS three separate times and I have no idea how people play this shit, easily the worst mmo I've ever played
no subjective phenomenological experience
literally Stirner's last man
Der Untertan
you have a small penis
Let me guess, you’re a WoW gay

except it's literally getting record numbers again because lost ark dropped the ball so hard
the soul of the game is gone
>"but more people are playing it!"

what happened with lost ark anyways?
They killed the aesthetic when they added Pirate

That looks really cute. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I don't really care about community, I have other games for that.
Not bothering with asiatic MMO's anymore.

maybe not for a long time but yeah they used to be
OSRS is great. It won't be once they add 2 new moronic pointless skills but it's fun as of right now
>Have a ton of content and balancing passes you promised but never delivered

Yeah exactly. Once I get 200m slayer I'm probably leaving forever
>Once I get (insert random shit here) I'm probably leaving forever
lol
lmao
cry laughing emoji even

I meant vote. But honestly if people after 2020 could no longer join the game at all that would be fine

Frick off Nostalgiatard modern MMO's just suck plain and simple.
