Does anyone here remember the good old days of pre-Big Bang Maplestory? Do you have good memories?

This specific BGM has taken on different forms for me over the years. These days, it just makes me long for those good old days.
Happily grinding for green and spike mushrooms for hours just for a stupid Pan Lid.
remember going to a sleepover to a friends house and we would play maplestory for hours before playing mariokart double dash until we went to sleep.
During those 3 hours of maplestory I still remember showing off my lvl 32 character in ellinia one shotting all the slimes and my friends were so jealous
Postbb is just superior and early postbb was peak kino.
Only thing is that they need to revert the maps to prebb.
Imagine right after bb (when Hero got Intrepid Slash) but with prebb maps.
Soul overload. Hoping somewhat makes that in MSW.
Personally I think like every class post Cygnus feel too different from the default classes so they shouldn't be included but battle mage can come.
What was wrong with Wild Hunter?
I said "different," not wrong.
Bam is pretty close in gameplay with the explorers while Aran, Evan, DB, Wild Hunter and Mech all have their own unique systems that felt experimental for the time. Nothing wrong with this, but if we're going for the classic style I just think it's offputting to have like 15 classes who are pretty close in style then have like 2 or 3 who play completely different.
I remember the first time I saw someone spawn a big ass monster on a screen that is usually completely safe. I immediately among the dead who were all chatting together.
Everyone sucks fangblade's dick but all the real homies loved Curryishott
Back in MapleStory's beta, I remember doing this shit for hours in Perion or Henesys or Kerning. I remember the autoclicker spam required to get into party quests. I remember how fricking long it took to grind. Being level 40 or 50 mean you were in the top 1%
I didn't play very much when it went live, but I did get the name "Jesus", which I gave to an old in game friend, and I heard later that it was sold for $200, so you live and you learn I guess
I had fricking forgotten about Perion being the previous marketplace. It was so dead afterwards. Damn.
On a different note, does anyone remember giant Balrogs invading cities and tearing shit up or is that a heavily distorted memory of mine?
either mystery bags that the asshats used to use or GM events
>On a different note, does anyone remember giant Balrogs invading cities and tearing shit up or is that a heavily distorted memory of mine?
I remember that people used to hack them into Free Markets. I've seen a screenshot of it happening in a major city, so it absolutely did happen, but I never witnessed it. I was personally killed in a Free Market though, back when those were empty
I spawned a bunch of enemy bags in a regular town merchant building once. Perfectly legal
I'm talking about before there were publicly available items that let you do it
That was for traveling, and it was a thing.
Some crimsom barlorgs randomly spawned when using the boats from ellinea to orbis.
Dude, I was the fricking clicking boss, even when everyone else was using autoclickers.
I used to get angry whispers because I would get my party in 4+ times in a row.
I remember one time I was running a train on KPQ, at least 5 times in a row. We were losing a guy, though, and I sent one of my party members out to grab someone. Turns out the guy he grabbed was actually in another party and was tricking us into coming out without a full party.
I got right back in on the next run, and his entire party defamed me the next time we came out.
It was a fricking blast.
My friend owns a league account that is named GioGio and someone offered him $200. Dude never took it what a fricking loser.
Anyone remember the Maplestory Youtuber called Greencream? He actually went on to make his own game called Wuppo. Some fun trivia.
Oh wow. That name unlocked an entire area of my memory involving Maple animators and maple music videos.
I hope Greencream is doing alright. Dude was chill
Loved his videos, but for me, it was Dray86.

>You have been playing Maplestory for 16 hour(s). We suggest you take a break from Mapling
Summer well spent.
Real homiez remember when when the high level person was MildSoss
maplestory was never good
i still played the shit out of it back then just to talk to online friends
You guys will absolutely love this:
>The Complete History of MapleStory Global: From Beta to Big Bang
I watched it and it was so nostalgic.
>tfw going deep into the ant tunnel for the first time
I fricking remember this place, training with the yellow eyes, before it was way longer and took more time to go trough it because you didn't had the ability to flight trough the screen in seconds like you do now.
Resting in the sauna, normal bathrobes were popular as frick so were the premium ones talking with other people, etc.
Scared how big the place was, etc.
Also the 100 floor towers when you had to go trough them instead paying 5k mesos to skip all the traveling, the path towards the mine from el nath was amazing, now is just linear climbing or use teleporters to teleporters, going deep and farming those fricking gold teeth, also the fricking zakum jump quest took me months.
Glitching fishes in the top of the map, etc.
Also the whole ludibrium clock tower was amazing.
Everything pre-BB was really amazing to explore, they fricked up all the feelings the maps gave with BB. also removed most of the hidden streets and made them visible.
The game world was just that
a world.
You had all sorts of shit like the path from henesys to the dungeon with the jumps you had to make or fall into the golem pit of certain death for low hp classes.
That and the game was not afraid to kill you ever.
There was shit to find, places to go, and it didn't feel like copy pasted shit.
Then they killed all of that.

I remember being a broke ass homie and going down Orbis Tower to Aqua Road to Ludi, then climbing up while chatting with other broke ass homies like me on the way.
Later on I would escort newbies down the other tower to Omega Sector.
Good times
Hey, I liked your posts, pretty rare to see genuine discussion on Ganker nowadays, and because of that I made a friend group and am inviting anons who are genuine to join. pastebin.com/XwYcJrKV
To any anons reading this, you're welcome as well!
t. Never got to 3rd Job because I fricking sucked. Mechanic was my favorite
I was level 53 pre bb. Warrior, grinding was slow and everyone would bully me with ranged attacks
It was beautiful game.
>Stand outside KPQ
>B> 60% att scrolls for 100-200k from noobs
>S> 60% att scrolls for 1m at FM
it's over anon, let it go
We knew it was bad then too, but it’s still hilarious that they made raids with only one instance PER SERVER. It took literally all afternoon for a chance to do one run
What did bb ruin? I left before that
BB didn't ruin the game, it made it better.
It actually made the game better in a lot of ways and brought a much needed fresh outlook to the game.
One of the bad things it did do though was revamp the Victoria Island map. They streamlined and simplified everything. It was no longer a world to be explored, it became a series of linear, flat-platorm maps optimized for grinding and progressing. They also moved the travel station from Ellinia to the middle (where the dungeon entrance is), got rid of the boat and replaced it with either instant travel or these stupid planes you have to rent.
Yeah, there aren't many maps off the beaten path. All of the areas in the game got significantly reduced to make travel time smaller.
Crimsonwood Keep PQ was my favorite content they added to the game. My guild was one of the first to do runs and sell Marks of Naricain to the public. The PQ itself was fun and managing the bosses in the final stage was enjoyable.
Dude you're kidding me right?
Half of the time I spent was me and my friend roleplaying in various offbeaten paths adventuring and finding the places in the game that looked cool.
My friend and I would roleplay like we used to live in this swamp hut in kerning like we were orphans and shit, then go to the big city.
God I did some stupid fricking stuff as a kid.
NTA but they streamlined the maps because 99.99999% of Maplestory players do NOT walk anywhere. They buy Hyper Teleport Stones since those can be picked up with reward points or meso which allows them to teleport anywhere they want.
PIc related is how ALL maplestory maps look like now with their pathing. Notice the one main path with small branches sticking out. There is no more exploration.
Big Bang made the game objectively better.
It was everything that came AFTER that ruined it.
>Nexon claims it will no longer be pay-to-win
>managerial paradigm shift shortly after
>game becomes more and more pay-to-win with every patch
Changing the Victoria Island map sucked bro.
Nobody liked the platforming.
And not a single boss pre big bang incorporated the movement/platforming. It was all a matter of "just have enough HP to tank bro", which prevented half the classes from ever taking on Horntail or Pink Bean without either overleveling or abusing exploits requiring real, actual cash, and a lot of it. The redesign was fine, you just hate it because it's different. It's objectively less tedious to get around, especially for lower mobility classes (before ever single class ended up getting flash jump).
Fricking up the boats was a mistake, I'll give you that.
>Nobody liked the platforming.
Speak for yourself spastic.
u mean osm?
at least it had its moment
>u mean osm?
no thanks shill
osm has been shut down for years, there's nothing to shill
>removed useless maps
>made walking around and traveling faster
>made game more enjoyable
yeah, it sucked
More enjoyable for small-brained people like yourself, sure.
People with bigger brains appreciated the scope and sense of adventure the old maps had. Exploring the Ant Tunnel dungeon actually felt like a journey into the deep.
>Exploring the Ant Tunnel dungeon actually felt like a journey into the deep.
yeah, when you were 10 years old
>it's another preBB shill thread despite how flawed preBB was
Reminder that Chaos was the peak maple experience with reasonably balanced classes and a good endgame.
Reminder that the game didn't go to shit until Unleashed, which was such a dogshit patch that it nearly killed the game in Korea
The only "bad" thing it did was revamp Victoria Island by removing a few maps that were only used as AFK spots by people who never left the island to explore other continents (i.e. henehoes)
Everything else was an objective upgrade, outside of how busted the Resistance was for the first couple of patches.
I liked exploring and finding hidden portals and of course passing the time grinding that 1% exp talking to randos. Maple could've been alot better if you did more than spam 1 button, but thats korean mmos for ya.
I also miss PQs, but they made em useless now.
when did you guys play this game?
around 2005, 2006 for me.
I played legit 2005-2006 then I started playing Extalia around 2012(?). Then I started playing again when reboot came out until I got banned for FMA blaze wizard farming.
I played for the entire Beta and then maybe for a couple months on Scania full release. I played a couple MS private servers for like a week over the years just to check it out. Post big-bang is an objectively better game, but nothing will ever be as comfy and kino as early MMOs were
I started playing right after beta, made me sad because I wanted the beta bandanna
I WANT TO GO BACK mmorpg culture was so much better when everybody didnt look up guides for everything and rushed to endgame
I met my wife through MapleStory, so yes, I remember it every day.
>rolling stats on the character creation
>first time getting raped by the Balrog on the Orbis flight
>hitting 30 for the first time
>becoming a Fighter so everyone would want me for Rage (also crusaders are cool)
I miss it so much
Check out my sick roll.
>dice rolls
>sitting for hours trying to roll 4/4
>get it
>accidentally hit roll again
I got to level 62-63 in pre-bb maplestory as an Bowman. At the end I was just logging in to talk to people, only a couple of my other friends had the patience to farm zombies in the snow area to get past 70
The game that turned me into a racist as a child with the israeli beggars.
why were they so common in mardia?
I was on multiple servers, Scania/Broa/Bellocan/Windia/Mardia
They were fricking everywhere man.
Remember when Scania was always full?
All other worlds other than scania are merged into 2 worlds.
Scania is still the world with most population of the 3, should give you a idea how dead the game is.
I would have never guessed Tenma loved GrapleStory
Come to think of it I don't think any of the phase girls played the game during the pre BB kino era.
Remember that feeling of being a low level mage in Ellinia?
Remember training on the stumps and slimes with your fellow low-level magebros? Congratulating each other as you leveled up in your noob state?
Remember getting Magic Claw for the first time? And feeling like you've just become a badass?
Remember not leveling Improve Max MP on Level up enough in the early stages, realizing you fricked up but going oh well.
Remember those feelings? All the magebro friends you had? All the PQs you joined along the way? Job advancing? Grendel the Really Old? The Slime Tree?
NO, pre-bb servers are shit
they will NEVER have the same feeling
Nobody mentioned anything about private servers until you showed up, my moronic friend.
Just making sure that didnt happen
I remember making a lot of friends online in Broa and making a lot of "henehoe" friends. Those were fun times.
Middle school was almost ten years ago... frick.
>henehoe
I genuinely forgot about the existence of this word until now
Jimmy Neutron tier brain blast right now, holy shit
>henehoe
i wonder if this was just a broa term
I befriended an older Scandinavian chick that I added on MSN through Maplestory. We would talk about random shit. We even cammed once. was that grooming?
this game was such bullshit, the amount you needed to claw and grind just to get anything
it was awful
but i kinda find myself missing it, now that every game is a short romp through the story to endgame where you look up a guide and join some group
isn't it ironic how MMOs as a genre suffered the most from the prevalence of the internet and the ensuing availability of information? Mysterious tricks and esoteric game design gets datamined and posted on twitter 24 hours after a patch so nobody really bothers anymore
Nothing like minding your own business and suddenly getting disconnected.
What I miss most would be the boat
That shit was possibly the best addition to any mmo I've ever seen.
That shit built a community.
a forced period where players couldn't do anything but socialize or chill out for 10 minutes
all players from newbies to veterans
modern MMORPGs are sorely missing it
S>TRACK 5k @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.

>tfw biking an hour round trip for a bit of this shit caused me to change from a fatfrick child to a relatively healthy weight
Thanks nexon
I tried playing Maple again when Demon slayer dude came out.
Holy shit that was some broken shit. What even happened to the class system? They want full moronic with all those named hero classes and shit.
Also the map design is shit now in the name of streamlining, the shit killing MMOs.
Also they removed HHG1, and that us a fricking criminal offense.
Aran is pretty fun though I'll admit, his combo mechanic should be how all melee classes work.
HHG1 was like the heart and soul of the game
that stupid b***h maya's house would be the ass of the game
There was just something special about seeing higher levelled characters showing off/chilling there and seeing what you could be when you were a newbie
and going there to flaunt your dick when you reached a high level.
You guys gonna make a /mswg/ on /vg/ once Maplestory Worlds global drops later this year? I'm sure there are people working on a prebb server already.
>more shady pservers
pass
just let the game be
You're a fricking idiot.
to be fair it IS run by Nexon so "shady" still applies
The only idiots are the ones that still fall for the constant pump and dump pservers that miraculously pop up and vanish every few months.

>anon decides to play a maplestory private server

I know you're still hung up over your furgay porn history being stolen 5 years ago, but stop shitting up this thread with your crying. Maplestory Worlds is official.
Is Worlds the one working on a pre-bb server?
Maplestory roblox
Obviously people took the chance and made prebb servers with it, although a bit jank in terms of UI and updates.
You can still play the Korean one with a vpn, but I think most are blocked because you need to verify now. When I played it the gameplay itself was pretty close.
Also iirc the prebb servers are now even more popular than the retail Maplestory in Korea which I thought was funny.
this was literally a different universe that the LHC took away
>no one heres plays mabinogi
I want to get back in to it. But being cute in that game costs a lot of money. Not a fan of it. Plus the rampant gacha loot boxes and actively making the game more tedious so players are forced to spend money on QoL.
Nexon rescued mabinogi out the market crash after hackers ruined it IIRC, but like always it was too late.
Im still angry how they killed combat arms too.
>Lets remove all the ways to become p2w
>Lets give the players permanent weapons for free and the ability to get every paid weapon for ingame currency for any duration they want!
They removed everything, every single way that a penny affected your gameplay, and ofcourse people who spent $1000 every week on the game got pissed as frick because all they paid for years was worth nothing now and quit, game literally died and closed in months because they forgot that they had to make money somehow.
That sucks
The game really got as close as I've ever seen to being that mmo that sucks you in and feels like a world.
The combat was unique and attacks had weight to them
and you could do so much different shit
I still remember shortly after it released, doing ciar dungeon runs and having everyone sit down around a fire infront of the boss door while people chatted, shared food, played shit on musical instruments, bandaged each other, and just talked.
That was all I ever wanted from an mmo.
Then once ready we would go in and get murdered horribly by a golem and some skeletons.
Call me casual but I found Mabinogi way too complex.
It has a learning curve, that's for sure. But once you learn it it gets pretty fun. The combat was so unique at the time.
I haven't played it in years but frick me if it isn't my ideal mmo.
If only it didn't suffer from nexon na it would be perfect.
You're free to do whatever you want in any way, magic was fricking amazing, you could play as your pets, campfires, instruments, completely open pvp with just a toggle
It was just every good idea rolled into one.
Isn't Vindictis related to Mabinogi? That means any of the coomer discussion Ganker recently had is by default an extension of Mabinogi discussion
I miss when seeing a high-level person walking around was actually an event. This one dude on Broa (ALEX I think?) was close to or past 100, and literally had a crowd of other players following him around whenever he popped into a city
>you now remember reaching lvl 70 for the very first time
I got to level 77 on my crusader and played for almost a year after never leveling even once because I spent most of my time chilling with my crew at the schoolyard, finding trouble never lookin too hard at HHG1 in my big comfy blue chair.
I remember reaching lvl 120 with my cleric after literally a month of getting out of school and starting to grind till i feel sleep.
When i got it all i did was spam genesis on training grounds 1.
>You now remember killing cbalrog with your unfunded cbandit way way earlier than most people did way back.
EVERYONE GET INSIDE THE BOAT
watch for: scammed, runescape, immense deflection
fricking nailed it
there was a guy named stereo on sleepywood.net IRC who took a dick pic for steelies
he didnt get the steelies i think but we all saw his red pubes
>be priest
>good at the kerning jump quest to reach the wraiths
>would grind for hours in there
>get a lot of red whip drops
>just gave them away to friends and in ch1 kpq area
good times
I wonder, does anyone have the blue israeliteel mouse cursor? Before the hand cursor.
Mechanic was one of the coolest job ever.
Until Nexon fricked it up.
I really loved the idea of riding a robot. It was so cool. It was busted as frick when it first came out then they gutted it so hard.
It's ugly and no one played it
Nah, it might have looked jank but there was nothing like setting up a field of lazers and then using your teleporter to move to the other side of the map and frick shit up while your field fricked shit up
>getting stuck in Orbis as a low level player
>reaching jr balrog with a group of your friends

never.
Loved the game to bits, even had a cute virtual gf on it. Used to grind all day in henesys with her.
We just need Nexon to die, so the private server scene takes over. The assets are out there, so the game will never die.
You're going to be waiting until you're dead. Maplestory is huge in Korea, they never stopped playing it.
Even GMS is still big (although it used to be a lot bigger), mainly Reboot.
It will dry up eventually. The game is a walking corpse in its current state
>dry up
Last summer was the biggest point ever for Maplestory in Korea. It's just that it immediately got hit with trucks and trucks of scandals and is dying now.
Explain.
theres a lot of scandals involving maplestory and explaining them all would take a lot of time
the most recent one was about the upgrading gacha system. it gives favorable odds to those that don't spend a lot of money so it entices them to spend more since they 'got lucky'. whereas the whales had their rates dropped so they would spend more since they already spend a lot of money trying to get the outcome they want
they had a name for it and nexon patented it. they got fined a lot of money
you know the feminist tiny pp hand sign thing? it began in MS
Right after thag it was revealed that Nexon was manipulating rank up rates on cubes. It was originally 1.8% on release, then was lowered 1.4%, then previous KMS director/current GMS director lowered it to 1%. They did all these secretely and no one knew because the rates were only disclosed after a major scandal that happened recently. After disclosing the rate as 1% the same director then said he will increase the rate to to 1.2% then eventually to 1.4% which people cheered for because they didn't know anything
No it won't, scrub.
>Sunk cost loser
Time to take a bath.
I haven't played Maplestory for over 7 years, idiot.
I am simply telling you it is an objective fact it's still wildly popular in Korea, and Reboot in global is still far more popular than you will ever realize.
i wish i could play it on deck
frick anti-cheat
aeon was so fricking bad
Yes, yes it was.
i told everyone but they shunned me for it. well look who's laughing now.gif
I like how you could play and still never talk to anyone if you want. Was great social interaction for introverts
But that's a lot of MMOs. In fact, one of the biggest complaints about modern ones is that they don't encourage enough social interaction via the gameplay. People just log in to do daily quests, rush the latest content, and then dip out.
People are so jaded, cynical, and politically charged that frankly I don't WANT to interact with the losers of today's society. People only ever want to talk about politics, work, and "Boohoo my life sucks" nowadays. Frick off. Let me play my game in peace.
This. Also i literally don't get anything from interacting with players. I just want to play the game and get some progression in the time that i'm playing
I feel you and the other anon, but at this point, why even bother playing MMOs? Surely there are other better single-player games you could be playing.
For me, playing Maplestory without a party was leagues above the single-player experience.
Now you understand why MMORPGs are dead. Why play them when you can play a much better single-player game?
Is Maplestory the game that changed the most over the years? I don't think wow doesn't even come close to how different the game is now.
Even the genre morphed from an mmo to an arpg.
i played the shit out of this game when i was 13
i still remember the first guild i joined after getting randomly invited in kerning. i was so attached to it that i didnt leave it until half a year after literally everyone but me went inactive
my best bro in the guild was this aran dude who i would grind exp with all day, his last words to me was about how much he enjoyed pokemon heartgold
I remember the first guild I joined.
I was still a level 30-something loner in the game. Some high levels were making a guild in Orbis but needed one more member to make it and I happened to be wandering Orbis at the time. They asked me to join and I did.
I remember the guild leader was called SwiftTachi and he typed like a moron. I was still an impressionable noob moron though and it felt really cool being in a guild with all these high levels.
Then one day, this guild leader SwiftTachi tells me to come to the free market and asks me to give him 1.5m as guild taxes. Not only that but he asks that I drop it in 50k bags to avoid the trade tax. I actually fricking did it because I was moronic and thought this was normal for guilds for some reason. Literally one of the stupidest things I have ever done in my life.
holy yikes
and here's my old character.
This guy goes all the way back to 2007. *cracks open a monster*. Yep, those were the days. Watch a few episodes of Naruto on youtube in shit quality split across 3 parts, then 7-8 hours in Maplestory trying to get into Ludi PQs on Bera.
I forgot my IGN for my character in Scania. It even had the beta bandana.
Rien02 was my character in Broa then switched to Khaini as Nitchii. I lost the characters since the name was deleted and replaced with numbers. The account was hacked too.
>It even had the beta bandana.
tfw still got mark of beta on some completely forgotten account
i always wonder how much this shit would sell for today.
And this was my IRL friend Jeremy, who first got me into Maplestory in 2005. He was a tall skinny white kid who liked gangsta rap like 93 til and Drop it like it's hot. I think that's why he made a black character. I don't remember him ever getting past level 30 so I guess he must've started playing the game again at some point. There were no Maple Weapons in 2005, that's for sure.

Overall was like -5 fame on my character and I was just a random noob so no big deal, but I remember being hella scared lol.
All I remember is grinding for the Bishop job change and then losing all motivation to keep playing once I got it.

I literally only made female warriors because of this armor.
Males didnt get speed increase armor and this with the boots and a red whip I could get around sofricking fast.
nu-maple is good
Tfw i started playing before you had to have a pin to log in version 0.06 or something like that
Tfw grinding slimes in that tree near ellinia ksing everyone.
Tfw i never got above lvl 35
Tfw you get an atk scroll from kpq and suddenly youre rich
I will never get to experience that again frick
Love this game some cool memories longing to go to the temple of time. It’s so easy to get there now…

>Can hit and kill the iron pig at pig beach
Frick yeah.
I also figured out how to jump shoot. You have to shoot and jump at the same time as an archer and it acts as if you shot from the ground but you keep moving forward.
Get fricked, sins.
I remember that using AltGr allowed you do jump shoots easily.
i fricking loathe maplestory and i played starting 2006
Played in beta then was a Scania Spearman, got to 108 before BB. Led a guild for several years.
Tried Reboot and got a 253 Blaster with an 8k grid thing.
It was good times, tons of good memories were made. So many fricking stories heh
I met curryishott randomly through friend groups and it was pretty cool getting to reminisce about the old days with him.
*uses for the first time*
>accidentally overwrote it with rage
No because I joined right after Big Bang. Still the nostalgia era though.
>Forgot everything related to my old nexon account
>Will never be able to play MS/Mabinogi again
Isn't there a new Maplestory that's Korea only? A 3D one I think.
Is any chance of a localisation/translation NEVER EVER?
I wish someone would make a game like this again, you'd think with how simple the original maplestory was it would be easy to make a spiritual successor.
You mean maplestory 2? It already came out in english and then shut down.
>You mean maplestory 2? It already came out in english and then shut down.
Is the skin customisation still there?
There was, and Nexon deemed it a flop because even thought it made profit (citation needed, just shit i was told), it didn't profit as hard as og MS. It is considered a failure. Not sure if KR version of it is still alive.
It was fun, but it only had content for like 2 weeks and then there was nothing to do. Nothing new was released and it just shut down.
2012 character from when Kaiser came out.
I remember being extremely nostalgic for old Maplestory at this time, and desperately yearning to play Guild PQ, which had long since been removed from the game.
...and this was all 12 fricking years ago. Jesus christ.
Maple had such a broken fricking economy.
The Meso was worth jack shit. Gatchapon made shit so bad, but when they legit sold Mesos on the cash shop that broke fricking everything.
Maple didnt even have an item that could act as a substitute currency like PSO with Photon Drops.
Why dont MMOs do shit like PDs on purpose? It worked so fricking well. Literally everyone has the same chance of finding them regardless of level, they drop one at a time so even one drop has value, and they have a in game use people want that consumes them keeping the number of them on the market down. It was unintentional brilliance
Prebb is such a shit game from a gameplay and balance perspective. If nexon weren't greedy morons they could exploit the market for nostalgia by remaking old maple
They could just:
>Make money with cosmetics
>Leave everything gameplay related not P2W
It's not just nostalgia. Sometimes simplicity in general is just more appealing.
Modern Maplestory has too much shit, and a lot of it has been made obsolete by powercreep anyway. Too many classes, all with the same linear progression, and they all feel samey. Back in the old days, being a warrior or a mage actually meant something.
>It's not just nostalgia. Sometimes simplicity in general is just more appealing.
It's both
Ok? I was simply extrapolating to say it wasn't just nostalgia.
you don't need balance to have a good game
Yes, you do need some semblance of balance. Prebb isn't balanced, nor fun.
still one of my favorite videos on the internet
>played a thief (throwing stars) pre-bb
>played a pirate (fists) post-bb
>played a mechanic when it came out
>played Angelic Buster when she came out
>played Zero when it came out
And I'm soon to try playing again to check out the new 6th job content
I still remember how big a deal perm pets were when they first started selling them rarely, I even still have my husky from back then
there's now pets with item vac, which having one is practically mandatory if you want to farm moronic amounts of meso while grinding
in reality you can get by just on boss crystals and maple tour for meso and just save while using normal pets just fine
That figures, I sorta recall them changing the items that pets needed into skills they had, it's been a few years since I've last logged in, I think back in 2018 or 2019 or so.
i guess the bonus with vac pets is you dont need to buy skills for them
fricking expensive though, again not worth it unless you're serious about grinding meso
5th job really does make things more interesting, i havent played recently but i can only imagine 6th would be the same
I've been wanting to get more perm pets as I have a Kino perm from an old event. Would be fun to get a perm Snail pet and perm Microslime.
Did anyone else love doing jump quests? I fricking love them I don't know why. The newer ones are ridiculous compared to the older kerning/ellinia/sleepywood/zak ones.
Those fricking ninja stars had hitboxes bigger than fricking saturnholy shit.
Based as frick guild master logged ito my account, did all the jump quests and leveled me up while I was busy once, shit was so cash.
The first few jump quests were really fun, things like Shumi's Lost Coin and the first Sleepywood JQ
Then you get to later JQs like Ninja Castle and it's just fricking awful because it comes down to knowing exactly how to utilize hit knockback and i-frames and even then it still feels random because the client is so fricking janky
Zakum was pretty piss easy though, sure the first time you do it it's gonna make you rage but eventually you realize ZJQ is one of the easier ones, and you only needed to do it once
>ninja castle jq
homie that shit takes like a minute and you can get through it without taking damage, just that the iframes and such let you cheese it
I loved them but hated them too. They were fun to do but some of them had really bullshit sections.
Some of them were surprisingly relaxing when they weren't stupidly frustrating. Sometimes I'd go back and redo a few of them for kicks.
>shitty internet
>get near the top
>internet lags out for a second mid jump

>people in the PQ area cheering "go mage!" because he's the only one who is a high enough level to hit it
This is what made the old community so beautiful.
Why can't thinks be like this anymore?

ToT. Always makes me nostalgic as frick.
If you were to guess, what percent of global Maplestory was Asian Americans?
in 2007? it was at least 50%
Am I the only one that pretended to be a girl to get all the good loot when the guild did zakum?
i have also catfished for free stuff
got me a lot of archer gear
I had a maple gf when i was 13 and she was 20. She even showed me pics with her writing my ign down on a piece of paper. That was back in like 2005
same, i had an older maple gf. wonder why it's common
>tfw Wonderking was better in every way and it fricking died for no reason
Probably assassinated by Nexon, nothing good in this world can ever happen
People would get so fanny flustered if you didn't change channel. It was pretty funny.
>finally became dragon knight
>go brag at level 60 grind spot
>mass defame
Those days were great
people still get ass ravaged over it
they will try to bully you out, or you try to bully them out, and most of the time their patience will run out since they aren't grind in optimal conditions, wasting their precious buffs they saved
and all they can do is defame you as if that does anything
What's funny is that the newest maps are all instanced, so you'll have multiple people optimally grinding on the same map now since they all have their own monsters.
>get a KSer in the map I was in for a while

>"he gone lol"
>like four classes are immune to knockback
>every class starting with Pirate has a bunch of high jump or long jump techs
The only time falling matters these days is in places where move techs are disabled.
When I was a kid I played this game a bunch but never got past Victoria Island because I was moronic. Then I tried playing it again with a couple friends via Mapleroyals last year and was really excited to get to Orbis and beyond. Imagine my disappointment.
That one homosexual who'd get his priest in the channel to KS you if you didn't CC
That one homosexual was me.
>briefly afk in town (i.e. safe area)
>some gay summons monsters
>die and lose exp
why the frick was that even a feature
Maplestory is way better now than it was back then.
The problem with "modern Maplestory" is simple: Legacy quests and content confuse new players.
EVERYTHING that those crying for a "Classic Maplestory" server want is actually available later in the game (think level 235+). This is because the content focus has been shifting farther and farther, resulting in reaching level 200 becoming easier and easier JUST to get people to the content being focused.
The only valid complaint is the flashiness of skills. Modern jobs are definitely unique, but it's just far too much going on.
the grind really hurts
and if you're on reboot, the mid game will get many players dogstuck and frustrated unless you somehow get someone to carry you
legion grinding is also an abstract kind of hell
i myself have been struggling to get past easy lucid for months now, likely because my gear isn't starforced high enough so stats are low, but i don't have good luck with enhancements or cube rerolling
Obligatory:
What the FRICK
fricking madness
jesus fricking christ
Playing MS is a waste of life.
It's pathetic.
What satisfaction is there?
At least with regular video games, you can reach the ending.
With hobbies, you can learn something and create something.
I thank myself for being able to free myself a long time ago from playing this anymore than I had.
>Niru is the highest leveled player across all servers currently at level 295 10%+. This guy plays the game literally nonstop, on stream taking close to 0 breaks, he sleeps in the chair he plays in, uses a horn to keep himself awake, and averts his eyes from the screen to not sear the game into his literal retinas. You can see within minutes the sleep deprivation he is enduring, not to mention the psychological damage he is getting. Please take care of yourself Niru.
Damn, so it's gonna take him like 2+ years to get to 300?
That is fricked.
That video was 2 years ago.
He reached level 299 in January this year. He has one more to go.
Is using macros bannable?
Of course when he is not streaming, cause it just looks like mindless key spam.
yes
he's unironically streaming most of his grinding so that nexon doesn't go schizo mode and ban his ass like they have for several other people
This.
Nexon unironically, without exaggeration, HATES the fact that Niru is so close to reaching level 300.
Back when Maplestory attempted to monetize critical systems last year, Niru posted his opinion on how fricked up things were to which Nexon (Wonky) directly responded by calling him a drama-seeking nobody.
someone did the math and he's like a month or two away from 300 iirc
It's worse in KMS.
According to estimates in Korean Maplestory, it will take roughly 9.5 years of non-stop continuous grinding to go from level 275 to 300.
Holy fricking shit.
How do people sit and farm for 8 hours straight without getting bored?
i used to sit and grind in maple for 2 to 4 hours randomly. it was honestly the best part of this game for me. everything else was terrible: bossing, weeklies, dailies, timegates, geargates, starforcing, flames, FOMO, vacpets-- all horrible and will proceed to be horrible until EOS. nexon are the masters of one step forward and three steps back.
Jesus christ there a 300 now. I remember when like 250 was the cap and I peaked at 220 and that was fricking terrible. I started in like 2008 too. Legion farming is fricking awful, but really helpful. I wish they made gear progression smoother frick CRA, the most gimmicky bullshit bosses that are m mandatory for decent gear
I started then stopped playing Reboot after a few months in 2018 in the Gankervg/ guild Page10(now called Archived I think).
Got to around level 221 but then it hit me that this game was literally designed to trap you into logging in every day to complete your dailies and everything, and make it feel like you wasted a day if you didn't. If you ever wanted to take a break for a few days, you couldn't, because that's delaying the completion of your absolab set for a few more days. At some point you just gotta clear your mind, realize it's all pointless and break free from the mind control spell.
If you're not 260 that would make clearing the stat requirement for elucid much lower since 6th job is such a huge damage boost. Up to the point where I'm at, the biggest hurdles were elucid followed by nlucid, then hlomien, hlucid, and now I'm stuck at hdarknell.
Only 251 if I recall.
So I'd need 9 more levels. Would have to get a few grind sessions in then. If I ever get back to playing this game again, god forbid.
10 reward points have been added to your wallet
Ok but seriously how the frick were you supposed to level up quickly back in the day? I think I capped out at 56 before I threw in the towel and thats when I was 15 and had all the time in the world. But some people dinged to level 120 in 3ish months
I was not only always behind the curve but broke as shit ontop of that. Was the game just really gear reliant?
Pros would leech their own characters using their bishop on a separate account and setting up multi-client.
>tfw traveled all the way to El Nath with a friend on level 15 characters and got stuck there for a month
it's kinda funny how when they took the most boring parts out of the game it got even worse/more boring
i miss maplestory 2
> tfw Maplestory was the only MMORPG I ever got into
Met some really awesome people in that game back in like 2007 during highschool. I even had a Maple gf and all that.
Sadly I quit the game and lost contact with all of them. I kinda miss kicking the shit with my guild talking on VoIP all day and grinding hours for 10%
Back then when you saw a GM it's like you saw a Jesus but in video game.
GMs are way more active now though. It's almost a guarantee to see them in Henesys, at least on Reboot.

>Everyone wearing class armor and class weapons, most people have default hair styles

>Everyone wears nothing but shitty vanity items, with hair that looks like it was shot out of the plastic butthole of a kpop idol.
>most people have default hair styles
Most people had some shit styles due to the free hair change coupon and were rocking sauna robes
Now that I think of it, Nexon was really ahead of the game when it came to making free mmos that give you the option to pay to circumvent some grind.
i miss my boy enker
I got a pan lid, that was one of my greatest accomplishments in the game. Took hours of grinding in that toy world's hidden tower full of purple octopi because I had to do a dumb grind quest of killing 2000 of the bastards.
It was a grindfest that pioneered BS like microtransactions, but the game's art style, music, and world design really kept it enjoyable to explore.
either u got ur pan lid from green mushrooms or u didnt really beat the game
Did curryishot get banned at some point? He's not on the old rankings.
The eternal debate: F3 or F5?
F3

Legitimately how do people play this game to max level? There's nothing to do but endlessly mob grind.
maplestory unironically has a raid progression these days
I just got done beating Monster Boy and it reminded me a lot of MapleStory. Shame Maple will never be good again. A product of its time.
The madman himself.
no there aren't you lying Black person, rankings are publically available
niru is causing lots of seethe because he leveled significantly faster due to GMS having frenzy totem
Is it true that Niru is basically a normalgay compared to the high ranking KMS players?
296 in KMS seems like it would be exponentially more difficult than 299 in GMS.
Does a bigger powercreep in vidya exist?
I miss when Maplestory was balanced around damage caps. I think the current damage cap was risen to 785 billion damage per line.
I get that by the time you're supposed to be fighting these things, you're technically more powerful than the Gods that inhabit the world, but it's still ludicrous.
linestory was the worst times in maple history

There's no hope
Why are mmo private servers always flooded with chinks, no matter the game?
I dunno but it's so funny how ALL of them cheat. What is wrong with Chinese players?
cheating is chinese culture
no, literally, they don't view cheating as morally wrong unless you get caught
tbh i'd say that most maplestory private servers have a bigger problem with Israelis than chinks

Why were korean games from the early to mid 2000s so soulful? Why were they all hacked to shit? Did koreans just cannot into security?
While North Korea is a communist dystopia, South Korea is a capitalist one unironically. Shit is ingrained in their culture, they view all of their games as "investments" which is why P2W is so obscene over there and why the games eventually lost all their soul.
As for cybersecurity, well that somewhat ties in with the above. You could make quite a bit of money hacking/selling hacks.

Pre-4th job, b***hes. Who remembers back when the cap was 200 and Fangblade was that homie?
Pig Beach and Slime tree aint ever coming back. It takes a fricking week to get to 100. And hackers plauge every fricking LHC in every server and nobody gives a frick. All you have to do is have NX or mesos to pay off hackers to leech and you're golden.
Maple is fricking dead, do you hear me?!
>fangblade
homie tiger was the fangblade way before fangblade was even a thing.
What happened to Tiger again? Why did he get banned?
Haha it doesn't take a week to get to level 100. It takes hours.
>hours
1-100 event makes it take like 3 minutes
Well, to be fair I'm not some maple pro, if you have hyper burning and do the quests you can do it in a couple hours.

Nah
Real OGs will remember this one:
I remember being a level 15-18ish warrior in pig beach fighting the iron pig doing 1dmg per hit to him. Took like 5 mins to kill him.
post 'em
I prefer this version.
I continuously feel the itch to get back into it but I realize it's never about the game itself. I just miss the 2000s internet culture that came with these Korean MMOs. It's a constant temptation that won't go away.
I had more fun just dicking around and exploring than I did doing quests and bosses. Didn't even bother grinding, if there's any game where hacking is justified it's MS.

Good times
I still don't get why nexon decided removing rewards from PQs was a good idea. Single handedly killed the community.
I remember adding some MapleStory players as friends on YouTube. Back when YouTube friends were a thing...
Take me back bros...
Anyone else remember loving this shit when you were younger?
These types of videos made me want to animate Maplestory videos myself. I didn't get very far with learning Adobe Flash, even though I told my friends I was going to be famous.
god FRICK, i used to follow that shit
this one for me was pretty inspirational 9 years ago
Fricking love this place in the game. Fricking green apple suit and large TVs with areas.
be honest Ganker
did you have a maplestory gf?
you didn't play as a girl, did you?
>he doesn't remember the sleepywood sauna cabal of asian girls looking to groom people
I had online gfs, but none of them ever came from Maplestory.
The last one I had broke me so hard I only play as female characters in MMOs now because I don't wanna go through that shit again.

She broke me. I haven't been the same since. Now I only play female characters so that never happens again. I'd probably kill myself if I had to do all that a second time.
I didn't name the MMORPG because she's actually a very involved person with the private server and don't want to identify anyone.
>I'd probably kill myself if I had to do all that a second time.
Damn anon, that hurt. Such is love, enjoy that you experienced it, no matter how brief.
I'm sure you can find someone else IRL no problem. For me, it's actually harder to meet women online, there are way too many simps online and face to face you instead hold her entire attention when interacting.
You had that playing against you and it didn't work out, but all is not lost.
if its any consolation, it sounds like it never would have worked out. Can't be down about it forever, there's a lot of things to enjoy, and you know you can't owe the world back for that. Live to be and perpetuate happiness.
Sounds like she saved you from making the biggest mistake of your life

when i was like 13 i got married to a 20yo fem beta, good times
I played as a crossbow MAN not a crossbow WOMAN
i had one
for exactly 3 hours
Had 3 maple gfs during my time playing. And they were all cute Asian girls. The one I remember the most was the one I used to talk to on the phone for hours with and listen to Fall Out Boy/MCR/Panic at the Disco! with and watch anime together past midnight. I miss being 13...
>look up maplestory worlds on youtube

Post the link coward
just look up "메이플랜드" (Mapleland aka the biggest and most faithful prebb server) on youtube
they have a ton of views
Pretty sure there has always been a nostalgia crowd in Korea. You see a decent amount of korean text comments in the old school Maplestory BGM videos uploaded by SlipySlidy.

it's not good but it's not bad either, it's "unique" so that's why it's stayed alive for so long
>tfw finally found the maplestory 2015 Ganker thread that lead to the creation of the NotAgain guild, originally lost in the archive.moe purge
well post it homosexual. as long as it's mildly interesting
Post what? It's not on any online foolfuuka archive. I literally had to download the archive (which has taken me years to find), open it in an sql browser and use my memory from 9 years ago to find it through database queries.
The archive is here: https://archive.org/download/laza-Ganker-archive
Good luck opening it if you don't know sql.
>and use my memory from 9 years ago to find it through database queries.
By it I meant to say the thread*
any Hyperion bros?
add me
IGN:DarkKadaj
Thought about going into Hyperion.
But then I would have to grind my 4k legion again and lose some shit that is no longer available.
Don't think I could stomach that. But good on Nexon for actually making another fresh.
Yeah there's nothing to play. All MMos are dead or dying, more koreaslop on the horizon. May as well play Maple at this point.
Reboot Hyperion is a good place to pick the game up again with for anyone not already invested on other servers or whoever missed out the past 8 or so years of nu-maple
Reboot Maplestory is a trap designed to make you addicted to playing daily. Avoid.
But dailies take literally 15 minutes max. Maybe 30 if you're slow.
Outside of dailies you can go as fast or slow in progression as you want.
>t. someone with 9000 legion who doesn't have a character above level 260
One day it's going to hit you that all this shit is pointless.
All games are pointless my man.
I'll continue having fun with them before I'm too jaded to enjoy them anymore.
I'm not that anon but I agree with him, though if you are having fun anyways, its skin off no one's back. If you wanted a grind thats actually fun that lets you wear cool clothes, there's always monster hunter, or if you want games with actual combat and mechanics, I hear ni-oh 2 is good.
Other games you can play on your own time, or play until you get bored.
Your little Reboot is designed to trap helpless losers like you into making sure you play every day.
Just seems to me that you're sad you can't find games fun anymore.
>don't play a cynical, addiction-inducing daily simulator
>this means "i can't find games fun anymore"
You could've just said you were a moron from the beginning.
>Have fun with a game for maybe thirty minutes a day while playing with friends for some bosses
>"Damn how can you do such a thing? Don't you know they're literally evil and that you shouldn't have fun? Stop enjoying things like me!"
I dunno sounds like you have a personal problem
>a day
This is the problem your defective brain just isn't understanding. You have permanent brainrot.
Games should never ever make you feel like you need to play every day. Alas, stupid people like you will forever be trapped in the endless loop, all for nothing.
Meanwhile smarter videogame enjoyers will continue playing a variety of different games, and not get hung up on a 20 year old braindead korean dailysim.
>Games should never ever make you feel like you need to play
But I never said I felt the need to play. It's just that the only thing that "requires" playing daily are the "dailies" which basically take minutes to do. They're not even that useful considering events can give you the same rewards months of dailies give in less than a week.
Hopefully this cynical worldview you have improves and you learn how to enjoy things again anon. This can't be healthy for you.
>idiot keeps missing the point and failing to understand the issue with dailies
>Being this upset over something that's optional because you don't play the game and thus don't understand why it doesn't matter
Damn.. so this is the power of.. not playing.. games..
We already know you're an idiot mate. And no, nobody is going to join you on reboot.
At least have more of a rebuttal than "don't play it because uhhh bad??" next time then.
>nobody is going to join you on reboot
I think the game will live even if someone who's never reached the level where dailies start skips out on playing.
Cope.
Again, nobody will play with you, moron.
Not everyone is stupid enough to be fleeced into doing dailies every day with no light at the end of the tunnel.
>Not everyone is stupid enough to be fleeced into doing dailies every day
But I literally just said you don't need to, just that it's the only thing that would "require" you to play the game daily. With that lack of comprehension it's no wonder you hate games.
It doesn't matter what you keep trying to say, my sad moronic friend. You're an addict, you have brain rot. You are clearly an illiterate moron too. Being so addicted does not help your life in any way.
Seems less like you care about dailies and more about wanting the last word here anyway. Guess when you don't play games anymore you have a lot of free time to argue.
I'm more than happy to keep correctly labeling you a sad, addicted moron
>it's no wonder you hate games.
it's pretty bizarre you're trying to cope by repeatedly insisting anon hates games because he doesn't waste his life on maplestory...
Not him but I play 2 hours a day. How is that being a loser?
Playing Maplestory at all is the sign of a loser.
Playing Maplestory every day is beyond embarrassing.
No it's not. There's people who spend thousands a week on this game and I got all my power from my own efforts on reboot.
>There's people who spend thousands a week on this game
And they're all losers like you.
Maplestory remains un-pozzed theres no shame in playing it
Grinding mobs is still king. Reboot has the bonus of 500% meso base and 5x boss crystal price. It beats out having a market and trading fast.
>500% meso base
This is you, except in Maplestory:
I've played since November. It's not too bad. I don't like legion, dailies, or boss mules and just do them when I have the time and wait for my eventbux, otherwise I just mob grind or do bosses.
Sex with Orange Mushroom
Dolly!
I wish I could just go back in time 20 years ago for a couple hours and just sit in my parents living room as a ghost and watch myself play maplestory on that cool autumn evening with the front door open and the fall breeze seeping in.
>I remember playing maplestory
>oh yea? What level did you quit
>oh lvl 21, I mostly hanged out in henesys
I don't take nostalgiagays like these seriously
Nostalgia bait thread.
Black person I went back to try prebb maple on a private server and the chat was just filled with people looking for or selling boosts. Exactly the same shit in classic wow just boosting.
You think you do, but you don't.
No you just didn't play old Maplestory, underage moron
Why did people get so mad if you defamed them?
Good equipment USED to require fame.
its a social status game, ofc you'd get mad. Imagine the little shit defaming you and logging off before you could do it back. It's like a twisted game of tag, made even harder when they got rid of ./find
>tfw had a bunch of defame accounts and defamed random people and watching their reactions whenever i got bored
I hated it, farming those stupid pigs as thieve/rogue was gay.
I remember shitting my pants as a kid when a Red Drake dropped a Steely.
nostalgiagays, don't look
>befriended two Chinese girls
>one from NJ, other from Vancouver
>cammed with both of them
>one of them said "I like the way you look"
Wonder how they're doing nowadays
>tfw first time I bought a 2x exp card from 6-10 PM
>logged on religiously at 6 and spent the entire four hours grinding nonstop
>did that every single day until the card expired
>tfw I essentially was doing a part time job
If you want the classic MS experience just play BDO it's the same game but 3D and better class variety
>but 3D
So it's clearly not the "classic MS experience", moron.
The whole point of playing Maplestory over other MMOs is that it's a 2D sidescroller.
>rebootcuck desperately wanting people to join him on his sad quest
>hi
>can you give me some mesars?
Im currently playing and leveling an Aran on reboot, currently 191 and still in level 130 set armor with SW weapon and some boos accessories. Should i keep going?
Aran is one of the best low-legion jobs to play since it has high damage and survivability. If you like the playstyle then keep at it until 210. If you don't, then just drop it now and raise another job.
The event going on currently is one of the best for leveling so you can try out different jobs to find out one you like, and the more you level up the stronger everyone becomes thanks to legion grindan.
i like Aran, fun command skills and nice survivability/damage. I did look at the legion stuff and level an Evan as well to 140 for the free mana on hit... How impactful is legion shit?
>How impactful is legion shit?
It's both the most important thing on your account and also something you shouldn't really rush. It'll be one of the largest sources of damage you'll get and also make every subsequent character you level easier to play, but you shouldn't grind it out.
Instead just focus on a main and then whenever you get a burn, get a new character to 141 and park their ass there. Then, whenever an event pops up, have your 141 characters gorge on the inevitable wave of bonk pots you'll get to get them to 200.
>Does anyone here remember the good old days
no
Should I comeback play Maplestory for nostalgic or its time to move on?
Maplestory is not the same game as it was back then. You will find as much nostalgia playing the game as you will just listening to the BGM on Youtube, as that's the only thing that's really the same.
Join us on Hyperion
You are such a sad loser lmao
Cope. Hyperion won
>coming back to this
brother don't do this to yourself, you deserve happiness
when will i be able to make a zero/beastmaster on reboot?
Current Maplestory is the most fun it's ever been if you're into grindy arpg but it's really sad that can't even bring up the game since there's a chance the game might be killed for literally no reason.
Personally I think there's 70%-80% chance it'll be fine but still absurd. I heard there's gonna be a roadmap this week so hoping for a good news.
Nevertheless to say I hate the direction of 6th job being another dumb grindfest and the new kns director seems absolutely shameless to drain the wallet of any remaining mushroom devotees. Hopefully gms just doesn't bring even more p2w garbage since $15 every week and $100 each pass season is pathetic even for this game.
>Current Maplestory is the most fun it's ever been
>proceeds to list negatives about the game
Nice. Also I hope the games does die, I honestly can't believe how many times the players get fricked over and they still continue to play. I lost my patience with nexon a long time ago.
>you can't see the negatives if you're having fun
did Ganker brainrot you
Besides the game really is fun but as always it's the garbage direction that hurts it massively. It's just that they do make good changes that make the game better then proceed to add new changes that actively make it worse, sometimes even conflicting with what they were trying to improve in the first place
watch it, unlike most of the posers in this thread, I actually played maplestory up to endgame (twice). I know what I am talking about. I can have fun while seeing the negatives, but as you said, they keep doing it and never improve, and for how long I was playing, I just couldn't take it anymore. The garbage direction is something that will never change, despite the great potential it had, and arguable still has.
The game does get better overall though. Does the moronic and greedy shit Nexon do leave a shit taste in your mouth? Yes, but at the same time you can't deny thay the game has been steadily been improving since the flame scandal. Even in New Age with the massively flawed 6th job, the game has become much easier with the exp changes and 6th job powercreep.
I absolutely despise how nexon treats the game like a cattle to be milked instead of a respectable game(unless another game-ending scandal #2148 happened and they need to please the players), but the game will still become better and more fun over time with the increased access and quantity of content, unless they judt decide to kill Heroic of course.
I ain't coming back but if what you are saying is true, at least the game will be alive and fun for its new audience. I'm part of the oldgays, and for me personally, I just can't let go of pqs, exploration, and when damage wasn't everything. When that changes I'll take a look, but no farther than that. Unlike other oldgays though, I also think old maple kinda sucked, but it had the ability to be something greater. I just don't see it now, not for me.
Game is more fun but it's still a mindless 2D grindathon
If you seek interaction there are guilds for that
yea I can't wait to do stuff with my guild like gpq, cwkpq, gay race
you do uh, bosses with your guild, like real MMOs
all the endgame guilds I've seen need you to be in their clique and suck their dick, so I never bothered. But I can see how it'd be fun.
This game lost it's soul when they removed FM
So... are we going to take a trip back to the past and make a MapleRoyals Ganker guild?
Bro you can't keep making the same thread just to shill your private server guild
You are completely moronic.
I'll accept that as a concession
Accept whatever you want, you're still an idiot at the end of the day.
Nobody is playing Royals right now and there is no guild. Sometimes Ganker has an appetite to start a nostalgia trip, and sometimes that isn't the case.
When was the last time anyone had an "appetite" for your bullshit, and how many threads about maplestory have you made
It's only natural a newbie idiot like you wouldn't have a clue.
Also I didn't make this thread you sad moron.
This shit's the most fun thing in maple ever along with mushroom moba and mushroom minecraft.
They should just make these event rpg pq a permanent weekly thing and not just during events
Exp points are actually a great way to make party quests viable again.
>set a limit of 3 times a week so you don't have to do it daily
>make the reward smaller than the event party play content if you're worried about players progressing too fast
>make all party quests give the same reward so the player doesn't feel pigeonholed into doing the same one every time
Of course, this would also require either revamping all of the old party quests or making entirely new ones.
we've had this discussion before, there are many ways they could make it work but they simply do not wish to do it
>being the hero that goes out and kills the crimson balrog on the orbis ship, then coming inside the cabin to tell everyone it's safe
>Does anyone here remember the good old days of pre-Big Bang Maplestory?
no and i dont give a shit. nu-maple was unironic fun and kino, best mmo on the market until those rtarded asiatic dogs killed reboot for no reason.
>look up Lynn's skills
>her big fifth job support skill explicitly doesn't stack with benediction
So did they just kill off Chase and replace her with a soulless chink ripoff out of spite?
any good maple story servers? IDK what I'd even do in one.
Me and my friends almost wasted a summer grinding to 60 or whatever. We never made it, my friends quit and I quit shortly after, my level was 44.
I think this game is the reason I don't want to play ANY games that involve grinding or farming anymore.
Why do I always miss the big Maplestory threads?
