they know they fucked up and it looks like they want to reboot the series like how it used to be pre bigbang.
inb4 trading is gone because they fucked up the economy and everyone knows it.
>Reboot of original Maple
What happened to Maple 2?
>>317652332
its still a thing last I checked but
*shrug*
>>317652484
Maybe they're just doing this while waiting for the eng version of 2. Although I saw in another thread someone said that it was looking like 2 might not even come to the west, but I don't know how true that is.
Wow. It's been years. I'm an adult now, and I've married the girl I met on the game so many years ago. I wish I could still be young with her and play it again the way it should be, but it's too late. I hope the new players will understand and enjoy this. The game had a fun base, but it became so convoluted, and no one ever has to earn what they get anymore. It'll be funny to see if this new, spoiled generation is willing to experience this.
Coincidence?
>>317653896
>I've married the girl I met on the game so many years ago
Lucky bastard. I knew so many cuties in-game too but I was only 13 at the time so nothing ever happened.
>>317651094
it's still a grindfest
might play though
But is it still cash shop dependent?
>>317654630
well in the announcement they said they are making it so that you cant buy power gear or weps anymore so guess not?
I quit shortly after big bang so dont know how bad it got
>>317654771
I haven't played in years, the last boss I remember was the aztec fucking boss guy that took hours to defeat. What was that guys name?
>>317654017
It was astounding luck, yeah. We were 15 or so. Lived in different states. Around the time we were heading off to college she moved in with me. It's been great.
>>317654402
Of course it's a grind, but like some sort of twisted joke it was fun to put yourself into that devoted mindset and get with a friend to power through the slow levels. God help you if you died. Now it's hardly a game. You sign on, socialize, spend real money for stuff to trade, and every now and then kill those pesky monsters for five minutes in order to travel to a new map to sit on in your cash shop clothing and chairs.
>>317654864
Zakum. Nigga was the biggest deal in the game for a while. Now he's smalltime and everyone solos him.
>>317654864
ZAKUM
>>317655520
>>317655464
fuuuuuuukkkkkkk I feel old man
That HappyVille music really made me want to play again.
What’s the point of more mesos? Will they be stuck to that server or will you be able to transfer them? Why even have a larger meso rate?
Does anyone else remember that brief time when, after an update, the glowing effect behind the Zakum helmet would fade when you moved and then come back when you stood still? No one believes me when I mention that happening. It lasted for a day or two, and then after another maintenance it was gone.
So this is basically the Maplestory equivalent to OSRS?
>>317656081
Apparently you can't pay2win after the update, and everything good will need mesos.
at first, i was upset that we wouldnt get to trade anymore, but then i thought, the community is dead, and i dont even bother talking to people anymore. So i guess this is fine. are they also going to increase the drop rates on weapons you get from monsters? because for me, monsters dropping anything useful was a rare sight
>>317656518not if you vac hacked
>>317656662
wait does that actually increase drop rates? Im pretty sure that just sucks everything that dropped on the map.
>>317656332
So does this mean no more free market?
>>317651094
I used to play MapleStory a lot with my sister. We've been thinking of getting back into it, but aren't sure if we want to continue on the official servers are move to a private one. If we move to a private server, we want to pick one with high rates.
>>317657040
guess so
What, are they reverting the maps back to pre-big bang?
literal retard here, I dont understand whats so good about this
pls explain?
>>317657704
its an attempt to gather all the nostalgiafags that love a good pounding once in a while
>>317651094
>yfw it's Ragnarok Renewal levels of fucked up
>>317656982
No it didn't increase drop rates of mobs, but you killed so many so fast and sucked everything from the map, rock up after leaving it on overnight and wake up to see a bunch of items.
Hacking and gachapon did ruin the game, the market was so fucking inflated it was ridiculous, many items went beyond the player's currency cap that certain items like white scrolls were necessary.
You couldn't get anything decent at some point unless you either bought NX, payed for gold, hacked, or grinded away for waaaay longer than is necessary.
Well not quite true, there were some profitable ways to make money like leeching or doing item runs like zakum helm, horn tail necklass and what have you.
And more risky methods like scrolling and buying low selling higher.
>>317651094
I like what they're advertising but how fucking long would it take to get to that point? A month?
>>317655464
Are you fucking kidding me? I remember it was a joke to tell people to kill Zakums whenever they asked where to grind.
>>317658178
I hope they remove all the bloat as well, like that farmville simulator
This looks fucking amazing. I watched the vid, read the article, but WHEN is it? Tomorrow? Tonight? Next month?
>No more trading
>EVERYTHING has to be earned yourself
o fuk
>>317651094
How about do that but on a new server so I don't have to fight the powercreep
>>317658465
Probably December.
way too late senpai
still tho looks good
>>317651094
Personally I might come back to this, if its going the way of Single Player MMO. I can grind for hours in a single spot for just money and shit. The worst part of the game WAS having to deal with people.
I made a Kaiser Dragon Knight thing that was pretty badass to play. And from years and years ago, I had a Kargo pet that I liked to have around, which is another reason I might come back. Yeah, from the video it looks nice to have it a single player experience.
>>317658896
That's literally the plan, all this update is on a new server called Reboot.
Jesus FUCKING Christ
Reinstalling
I'm gonna go to the fucking jungle and chill out in that sauna like a REAL NIGGA
>>317656089
Pepperidge Farm remembers
>>317657464
Has there been any other MMOs that just said "fuck the ingame economy" like this?
>>317658986
Me on the right
I hate these stupidly high nimbers flying of things like no big deal
why can't damage calculation be more important? are kids THAT entertained because of those sicc 420 mlg hits with literally one press of a button? I swear to god when I saw someone dealing 1k was a big deal, back in ragnarok.
>Reboot encourages solo play.
Where to the cum toilet clerics get off?

I for one enjoyed the GE
>>317659985
Where does it say it encourages solo play?
Also, in parties, of course.
>>317651094
>you have to grind your gear and earn mesos the old school way because no trading
>essentially a mid/high rate server turned into a psuedo-rpg + chatroom
>you still have to deal with the memory leak from the client after 10-12 years
Well that's nice for once, I wonder how it turns out.
Now if nexon implements back avenger, dragon roar, coke town andthe white ladyI'll consider.
Other than that, the game is dead to me when miracle cubes released and turned everyone into some MLG faggot.
>>317651094
It sounds pretty cool but why the fuck are they getting rid of trading? That's just dumb.
>>317660264
>Partying in Solostory outside of PQs.
>>317652484
*teleports behind Nexon*
not if I have something to say about it
>>317651094
OH HELL NO.
F5.
The reboot is really just another set of small balance changes. Trust me I'm a person who's still playing Maplestory. They do this shit every year. Nothing to get hyped about. Pic related. Arans are getting two revamps, one from this patch and another in about 3 months or so.
i came back to maple after 2 years
see everyone with attack on titan outfits and sword art online
whats going on and how do i get it
>>317661898
i dont care i love maplestory

and bernie sanders is gonna win the election
>>317661898
damnit man I haven't played ms since big bang and i'm feeling nostalgic as fuck since my friend showed me this.
why must you kill my hope ;_;ill still play it anyway to see for myself though :p
So is this out or coming out?
>>317662337
Yeah same here. I stopped around Big Bang. Reboot seems like a very vanilla server where you don't have to deal with the shit economy in the game. Ill be for sure playing it.
What server should I play on? The last one I was on was pretty lonely.
>>317662574
Dec 2.
>>317654630
It's not exactly cash shop dependent, more like buying mesos via real money through the chinese goldfarmers and grinding shit daily until you hope to God your cubes actually give you good potential. For example, I made this belt myself without paying a cent nor bought any illegal mesos. It cost me 300m+ mesos, around 15 days grinding daily bosses and 20+ cubes from the Reward Shop to get it from Epic to Unique, and another 10 or so to get these lines. And these stats don't exactly suit for Warriors like Arans so either I sell this belt for STR% or recube.
If you're looking for a nostalgic maple experience you won't get it playing this reboot server.
Sure there will be no cash shop, but it will be exactly identical to current version 2015 maplestory. Full of shit.

>tfw
>>317656332
yeah you could just buy mesos from one of those sites instead
How much does this really change? It seems like it's dealing with the pay2win, but what about the power creep and feature bloat? Will it ever get back to how it was around or before pirates showed up?Will it ever be fun and comfy times with friends ever again?If not, then what's the point?
>>317651094
OH SHIT OH SHIT WHEN DOES THIS COME OUT
>>317662829
if you want NOSTALGIA you should play mapleroyals and join /v/'s guild
http://mapleroyals.com/?page=index
So what will happen upon death?
same old? or more punishing somehow?
>>317663368
Son of a bitch. I need to look of lewds of her now.
>>317663065
>even when it wasn't about playing the game but spending time together doing fuck all
>>317663368
It won't change much. For starters, the reboot is a world server, so nothing affects any pre-existing characters. It's like how they did with Runescape.
>>317661898
Correction: The "reboot" is referring to the patch update, not the reboot server itself.
Ladies, I have a level 206 character.Should I be ashamed?
Who /dualblade/ here?
It's the one job I really really loved. Then big bang happened. Then every class got buffed to hell and they had to ruin Dual Blade's play style and turn it into a standstill and spam skills evasion tank.
>>317663832
No. I played actively since 2005 for like 7 years and my highest level is 186.
>>317661898
I'd accuse you of paying2win, but I recognize those NX clothes as ones given out through that even a year or so ago.
Aw geez, Nexon.
I'm already trying to satisfy my need to grind with Disgaea, I don't need these lies.
i will give this reboot update a try
am i the only one?
>>317663765
Are there any details on how the reboot server will run or is the announce video all they have up right now?
>>317663629
Have fun, anon.
>>317664354
Me too. I've pretty much given up on the game as a whole. I was kind of interested in that stupid maple high school thing but it was unbelievably buggy so I stopped caring completely after that.
This new server looks fun since it FORCES people to go out and kill monsters.
>>317664369
I will, thanks.
>>317663492
Hey man, losing all that xp back in the day was a giant kick in the balls.
>>317664369
There's a page on their site about it.

>>317651094
>no mention of reducing the grindiness
Phew. For a second there I thought I was gonna have to redownload this.
>that alert noise at the end of the video
Something in my brain jumped
>>317663949
i last quit maple when i discovered dualblade has skills i literallyhad to pay for thru cash shop to use
hoping he'll be all free on this new update
>>317664047
Yeah, I got these clothes from an event from a long time ago that gave out permanent NX equips. Even with that, if you buy premium style boxes from the cash shop, you can get certain permanent NX equips that you can trade to another player through the free market or trading for mesos, so everyone can get NX clothes.
>>317665062
You could find the skill master books from monsters. Paying was just a faster way. The monsters you farmed them from were appropriate to the level of the skill.
I think nowdays all the skills are just there.
>>317663368
it wont change because there are gonna be lvl 200 fuckers in the first week to ruin the economy with end game items
>>317659695
ff14
>>317665634
theres no trading on reboot though
>>317665062
>>317665204
You don't need skill books to learn your Dual Blade skills anymore. They changed it so that all classes get all their 4th job skills immediately upon advancing. You still need mastery books to raise the level caps of each skill, but they are now homogeneous books that you can buy from the NPC stores for mesos.
>>317658465
>>317658935
December 2nd, it's on their facebook.
>>317660606
Partying is much more important in reboot because everyone is going to be weak as shit.
>>317663427
this guild is cancer
the server is fun but full of sjw cancer
all in all I enjoy it
I love me a good pounding around the holidays.
I literally lost my MapleStory character forever and Nexon refuses to give me back my account.
So it's stuck there as a remnant of what once was. forever
you know it wont be the same
Are there any 2007 private servers?
>>317666042
Could just pick Mech instead and kill everything, while healing everything and chugging as many mana pots as possible.
>you will never be in your early teens chilling in pre-bb maple at henny hunting grounds with your qt3.14 online gf

No anons, no nostalgia pictures. Please.Is this reboot a new server or on the same servers?
>>317666231
There is a 2008-2009 private server called MapleRoyals which has a pretty active /v/ guild on it
http://mapleroyals.com/?page=index
>>317657704
no trading
no cash shop for items like cubes, gacha, etc.
only can get equipment from killing mobs or bosses
that means it's good
>>317666808
New server
>>317666603
i gotchu man
i feel you.
omg cc plz wtf nob i repot u
>>317667062
I remember the dry years before 4th job explosion
literally no updates, but people still played a lot
The only good thing MapleStory has ever been good for is RMT. MapleStory destroyed my social life, but frustration over the slow grinding got me into cheating, which eventually made me learn how to program. As a senior in college majoring in CS, I have now completely paid off my college debts through RMT using cheats I coded myself. My parents, formerly viewing me as a failure as I was far inferior to all the other Asian prodigies, which I was constantly exposed to because I lived in a rich area, who had 2400 SAT scores and played sports and multiple instruments, are now finally proud of me.
>>317651094
wow that post heavily implied maplestory was making their own nostalgia server, instead it is the same garbage. Thanks for nothing
when the fuck is it dropping?
>>317667538
2nd december
>>317666808
New server. It doesn't take the game back to before big bang. It does rebalance things so everyone is weaker and monsters stronger, and you can't trade or buy cash boxes and shit.
>TFW you were a PQ hosting god
5~7 minute LPQ runs average
>>317667569
HOLY SHIT I AM HYPED
>>317666231
MapleRoyals is one of the oldest maple versions that has a high player count. Some people have extremely terrible lag on it though so if that server doesn't work you should try MapleDestiny instead
sounds interesting
>>317667654

I still have a pretty good memory of being a lot younger and finding out that maplestory was a "massive" file and would have taken forever to download on my shit internet. I remember waking up the morning before going to Disney Land to start the download, and it was there waiting for me to setup when I got home from an awesome day. Feels good man
>>317651094
>trading is gone because they fucked up the economy and everyone knows it
You realize that that only applies to the new Reboot world and not the entire game, right? Same goes for the increased monster hp+damage and higher meso rate.
I am the biggest faggot to have ever played this game.

Is there a list of additions and when they were added? I'm trying to remember when I started playing. It was before Pirate and Aqua Road. I remember the Henny hunting grounds getting renovated and the big signs added all around. I remember they changed noob island to some conveyor belt thing. I remember the panlids selling for like 200k (which was a lot at the time I think). I think might've started playing before they added Ludi (memory is fuzzy).
Anyone have a quick summary of what each year was like? I think I started around 2006 or so, it was right after Khaini was added. When did you all start?
>>317668085

holy shit i official started playing maple as a kid 10 years ago in a few months

those were the days
>>317668359
>haven't played in 7 years
fucking shit fuck me
>>317666879
>only can get equipment from killing mobs or bosses
So no more equipment shops?
>>317668359
I started playing before the start of that list, in beta.
Honestly the worst thing that happened to Maple was all the competitive min-max shit and the scrolls and cubes and whatnot. Maple used to be more about hanging with your friends, meeting new people, training together, doing PQs together, etc. But as soon as all the minmax shit started, people started talking less, people started getting selfish and caught up with making the perfect character, people started to just grind alone for hours, you were denied from PQs if you didn't have the best gear and optimal stats, and the community in general just became selfish assholes.
Quite sad really.
>tfw the only friends I've ever had were from this game.
Fuck me. I'm sad
>There are people that seriously think the power creep won't sneak its way in again within a year
It's like you guts never learn. It will start with them re-enabling trading, and then they'll put one or two equipment upgrade items in the cash shop again, and it'll go one from there and become a cancer fest. Deluded ass motherfuckers.
>>317667846
>now type [any word with a y in it]
>>317669558
What do you mean trading? Why would trading be disabled? Or do you mean just trading NX items?

Anyone feel like crying?
http://tria.tv/images/thethirdflight/
>>317669718
After reboot they are shutting down the Marketplace.
If they return Maple Island to its former glory I'd play it again. (My islander was my favorite character for some autistic reason)
>>317670178
Badly.
>>317669648
Nah that was just the aftermath of a scam. Transferring some items to partner.
Did anyone play that online iTCG thing they made? Shit was pretty fun.
I started playing when they added pirates. made one and took it until level 70 or something. he was a brawler. I still remember the game was unbalanced as fuck and everyone wanted paladins or thiefs in their party's. Then cygnus knights came and everything went to crap.
and by looking at it again. it seems like its still unbalanced as fuck

wasnt it DK's?
>>317670709
>Maplestory is now on MySpace!
wow
>>317670627
Everyone wanted priests and Dragon knights. The only truly unwanted classes were White Knights and Crossbowmen.
>>317670878
If I remeber it was all DKs for the hyper body, and some saders beause rage.
WKs were the least used warrior class
>>317671029
I would suggest we all make a guild when the new server comes out but announcing a server on /v/ might just attract typical /v/tard attention and be full of retards and memes.
>>317668085
>When did you all start?
Right when Windia launched and stopped playing in September 2013. Dropped like $700 throughout that time, still have all the cards to remind me to never do it again. Regret.
I'm thinking I might come back for this Reboot thing though.

I was so pissed.
so like this reboot thing, this is all going to be confined to one server right? And you'll only be able to make explorer classes on that?
>>317671297
If it makes you feel better mechanics became beyond shit at some point. Like unbelievably shit.
>>317671319
no. who the hell told you that?
>>317671319
No you'll be able to make every class. No it will not reboot the game to pre big bang. No it will not remove new areas or anything like that. It will just rebalance the game and disable trading/cash whoring so you can actually DIE unlike modern maple where it's almost impossible to die. Also monster drops are special so they drop items you need. Basically you grind and get rewarded for it. Everyone has to grind. There's no trading or anything like that. It might be fun.
>>317668085
I started around the beta, back when Broa was the newest server. I played a lot but my highest level character was only like 65. It just took forever to level. I don't think there was even a 3rd job implemented yet at that time.
>>317668085
I was in the beta. Crazy times, especially with the hackers. Nexon really didn't have a clue how to handle them at all.
Also, RIP Perion marketplace. Those were the days, trying to buy and sell took effort and scams were aplenty.
>>317671471
Ah, so like since enemies are stronger do they give out more exp? or is it the same amount, but now you get items you need?
>>317671345
And now they're one of the top most DPS classes in the game.
https://itzdarkvoid.wordpress.com/2015/09/09/kms-v-1-2-240-boss-dpm-chart/
>>317670318
Only in the Reboot world, pay more attention mate.
>>317671253
Hell, it was bad enough just trying to get to WK before Nexon jacked up the leveling mechanics. Nobody wanted to party with you.
>>317671297
mechanics were always shit at endgame content because of their low mobility
arans were shit because of their shit dps
The best classes for bossing were NLs due to their high damage, Phantoms for their high utility and mobility, and Paladins because they could tank instant kill attacks, had loads of utility skills, and had a panic button that granted them invincibility for 30 seconds.
>>317671785
>and the Mini Boss – Zakum, Leon, Horntail, etc
>Zak and HT are MINI bosses now
>>317671569
Yeah, I feel you. I would play all summer and the highest I reached was like 44 (granted I spent a lot of time just dicking around, talking, and trading). I remember some guy was quitting maple and gave my brother a level 90 warrior and that was like a huge deal because it took soooo long to reach that point.
I came back just a few years ago, made a lumi and was 115 in like a week or two. It's a complete joke now. Really wish I could back in time to 2006. Had a lot of great memories with Maple as I'm sure many others did.
Oh, and reminder to never get married in MapleStory.
>>317671945
Grinding those tree stumps in the beta like every other noob. Good times. Also hilarious whenever a pan lid dropped. Everyone would go nuts.
>>317671947
>tfw i got married in maplestory once. way back before pirates were a thing.

I wasn't even even a hardcore player and my Phantom was already Lv152 by the 24 hour mark after release date, which was mid-2012. Leveling speed fluctuates a lot throughout patches - personally I'd say it was at its easiest in 2012 when LHC was around.

Class imbalance is definitely one of Maplestory's weakest points.
Whats the fun in having so many jobs/classes if all but a few are obsolete?
>>317671945
Pretty much every Warrior, Bandit and non-F/P Mage past 70 was a hacker at the time. It was pretty ridiculous.
How good is this Kanna class?
Seemscute.
>>317672415
Is there like some kind of leveling guide you guys follow? I never found out the secret to leveling to a 100 in less than a week, in modern maplestory.
are you guys like buying exp scrolls or something? takes me a atleast a week and a half to get to 100
>>317672308
Aside from occasionally marrying male friends on private servers, I did marry an actual girl once on GMS, which led to insane amounts of drama.
when is this update out I want to play again
>>317672746
Dude it's easy. You can get to 100 in a day if you really wanted to.
>>317672650
Slow paced. Relatively weak. Not THAT fun. Useful for 4th job skill that buffs exp.
Still more fun than like fire mage
>>317672938

>>317672845
Wait, people got married just for reasons other than Onyx apples?
So suppose reboot comes out, how viable would it be if I'm going the oldie adventurer mage -> ice/lighting class?
>>317673183
I/L is still good. All 3 adventurer mages are really good. I haven't played in 2 years but I'd imagine the hierarchy is still F/P > Bishop > I/L.
>>317670627
>Dexless Sin
This was the stupidest shit ever. Assassins were so OP back then and they were the best at being obnoxious faggots and ksing you. Then they become Night Lord and pretty much everyone wants them for bosses because they did the most damage. I never played one though because I always thought how fucking boring it must have been to spam lucky 7 for 120 levels.
>>317668061
>i never even got to level cap
That doesn't really matter all that much because it's not like other MMOs where the game doesn't begin until endgame. It's just a grindfest
>>317672958
How so? normally i just dick around in the home town, doing all the quests i one trip since i pretty much memorized the stuff for the starting towns. Then i go to the mushroom castle, dick around there until the theme dungeon in orbis unlocks. Then i just dick around there until 3rd job or so, then i just grind it out at those aliens in NLC.
that all takes me like a week. Am i doing it wrong?
>>317673163
some of us were kids then, we saw it like a friendship pact or something
>>317671947
>WASTING ALL MY MONEY
what's the story behind this?
>>317673163
I married the male friends for shits and giggles.
The girl was more complicated, I was much younger and basically said "Want to be my gf" to a guildmate. In retrospect, that was a fucking retarded thing to do.
>>317671947
I married some dude playing as a girl in my guild because we really wanted to do the apq, so we could sell onyx apples. It was honestly pretty nice, I was never good at being a Jew, so having a steady source of meso income that everyone always needed was good.
>>317673163
Yeah. I know this girl who had a new maple boyfriend every three months and she'd always get them to dump money on the wedding.She still goes through shitty online relationships to this day.
>>317668359
>Windia becomes available in Dec 19 2005
>I first started maple 10 years ago next month
>>317668359
FUCK.
Going through this shit has gotten me so fucking nostalgic, I put so many fucking hours into this stupid game back in high school. Was probably the reason I didn't have a social life back then but man, did I have a lot of fun. Made so many friends on there that I used to talk to for hours after school every single day, now I'm sitting around wondering how they are now, haven't talked to any of them online in years.
Should I try mapleroyals or not? I feel like it's going to be a huge waste of time and that I'm going to go back into it with really high expectations and rose-tinted glasses and get all of that ruined for me, but I'm feeling really nostalgic.
Help me /v/ what do
>>317673342
>some of us were kids then
So was I. My friend almost married some girl just so get can get those sweet apples.I know you're in here, Robert. You blew it with that dumb cunt. You were supposed to be the onyx apple supplier.
>>317673308
>I always thought how fucking boring it must have been to spam lucky 7 for 120 levels.
More like 190. Triple Throw was just L7 with an extra star.
>>317673581
No, MapleStory is a shell of its former self. Don't bother.
>>317668359
>Demethos opening in 2008
Wait, is this right? From memory it came later than that.
>>317673581
Waste of time. Don't.
>>317673439
Aria and Phantom are a couple in MapleStory lore. There's no hidden meaning behind "WASTING ALL MY MONEY" besides it being a joke.
>>317673524
I met a girl like that in another MMO I played. ed8ing always leads to drama, especially when their friends get dragged into the mix
>>317673884
It was in November or December of 2008
>>317668359
I started a little before may on 2007. I really miss it. I still hop on Maple to explore but it's not really worth it to do anything else.
I miss all of my friends from Maplestory.
Fuck.
I mean one day you just up and fucking leave because its consuming your life, but I should have used Skype or gotten phone numbers or something.
I mean aren't your online friends the ones you get the closest to? Because it feels like there's no risk involved and you can talk to them about anything? And how is it that you can have entire romances in a virtual space where there's no money, status, or physical appearance at all? Why do I have to leave it just so that I can be functional in society?

>>317651094
This is enough to get me playing again. I'm aware I'll give it up in a few weeks because it's not the same old maple story but I'm willing to give it a shot with a couple of /v/irgins.

I still have my programmer friends on Skype and the rest still frequent the MapleStory general. When the next big private server comes out I'm certain most of them will show up, where we can fuck around and have fun for a couple weeks before we part again.
>>317663065
>>>the friends are long gone, now that the tides have calmed and there's actual time to waste on a grindfest like Maple, no one wants to play it and rekindle those little moments we had as children
>>tfw playing in private servers is dry and the friends were invited back but never responded to your message, probably taken back that you're inviting them to play the same old game, even when it wasn't about playing the game but spending time together doing fuck all
>>317666603

FUCKKKKKK DON'T FUCKING DO THIS TO ME GUYS I'M LEGIT GOING TO START FUCKING CRYING. I MISS BEING A STUPID KID WHO KNEW NOTHING BETTER THAN TO WASTE HOURS ON THIS SHITTY GAME EXPLORING AND TALKING TO RANDOM PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND ENJOYING IT AND NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER
>>317674193
It took literally 10+ hours of solid grinding just to level once after level 75
Fuck that noise.
>>317674608
except for time
which maplestory took so much of
>>317673524
I was the male version of that. New maple gf every 3 months. I was 13, I didn't really know any better. And I spent ludicrous money on crap like crush rings and wedding tickets.
So to answer >>317673163 it was also just from simple 12-13 year old crushes. It's damn smart of MMOs to exploit that with marriage systems.
>>317674737
I remember being a 7x white knight in 2006 grinding at FoG for that sweet 8% / hr.
>>317674130

>>317675068
>This patch contains character balancing for over 30 jobs
There used to only be 4 classes and 10 jobs. More if you counted pirates.
>>317675056Nah
>>317675068
>Wild Hunter nerfed again
What did they mean by this?
Glad I only play for 3 days every 3 months.
I played MS back in 2005-2006, but man, what is it with MMOs like this always fucking the mage class? This is on me too, since I know better but I always want to roll a mage because I want to cast spells and blow shit up. Also, I'm sure things went back and forth and changed any number of times since I played. Thing is though, in games of this type, particularly Korean ones, mages always get shit on.
As a baseline, here's how it inevitably goes: Early levels, average. Mid levels, distinct advantage. High level, shit-tier and the warrior class has better AoE. Endgame, even the fucking healers do more damage. What the hell? Some games even did stupid shit like make mages require more exp per level, or be extremely squishy but have none of the supposed increase in power to compensate.
I remember when Arans were the coolest shit to me.
should i go back after the reboot patch? Lately i've been craving some maple action.
Fuck it, I don't even care, I'm going back after Christmas when I get a new laptop. My cousin still plays and I can get my other one back into it.
It'll be fun restarting with them.
>>317675385
They meant to nerf them because i think right now, they are the strongest class if you micromanage really well. Now.. only the top players are going to be rewarded or something, while everyone else will feel that they will mess up more or something. Not too sure. I just finished reading all of it, but they're still in top 5 or 10 in the game still so, no big deal.
>>317658213
Zakum is literally a level 50 solo boss for the easy form, and 100ish for the normal form. Chaos is like 170 to solo with poor people equips.
>>317675462
It hardly counts since it's an MMO based on a single player game, but Dragon's Dogma Online sorcerers are essentially OHKO machines.
And currently mages in Maplestory are great.
So are we going to form a guild, play for a couple of weeks, then quit or are we going to sit here and be nostalgic faggots?
>>317675964
just faggots.

Tried to recover my old godly account. Literally to guess my infos you would have to go through hell and slay the 13 gods.
Tfw my email is changed to some phishing crap and account is suspended due to spam or suspicious activity.
I guess that leak way back when was legit.
>>317673608
Damm I played this with my mate Robert aswell now hes fucking hot bitches and im still gaming
>>317676185
I'm pretty sure the game had peaked in players in 2010/2011.
>>317676231
How old? Everything you had is probably worthless by now desu. That's just how maplestory is. Most of the time the "rebalancing" is making the weaker classes OP.
>>317676412
Atleast 5 years old.
>21+ attk SCGs

Pretty fucking old.
A little sad I didn't just sell the account.
>>317658103
>Well not quite true, there were some profitable ways to make money like leeching or doing item runs like zakum helm, horn tail necklass and what have you.
The problem was that to sell that stuff required people to actually somehow have 40mil to burn which was nigh impossible at that time without paying for money, and for the actual runners it wasn't profitable since they had to spend millions in potions and meso bombing just to do a single normal run.
