I remembered my cousin playing this a lot. every time I went to visit him, he was playing this. I liked watching it and it looked fun. He died in a car accident a couple years later. I never asked him what the game was called and so I never got to experience the actual gameplay. After years of searching ‘fighting games with mushrooms’, I found this video. I was so happy finding the game I loved since I was 6 years old, a child. Now I’m 18 and I’m going to play it now :)
I’m sorry for your cousin :(
@@Yohanelprofesor he/she said “cousin”
@@Dashomin Thank you
29, little brother died a year ago and we played the hell out of this game in high school. Really makes me feel home again with him.
Hey man. For the original experience u should look up for a server called: mapleroyals. Its an oldschool maplestory server with more pple than real maple
Jesus. Never thought I'd hear that getting to level 200 was quick. Throwback to pre big bang when even getting to level 30 took weeks. Lived in ant hill for the entire duration. Tiger is still #1 in my heart btw.
Level 30 to 35 already taking up weeks T_T

@@L1gy98 those were the real maple days
@@L1gy98 That hit me right in the childhood
A little late here, but 30-36 took me three months even with the Monster Carnival.
I think it is fun to play to revisit childhood but shortly after you will get bored again.
Life is too demanding to be grinding my life away for more numbers.
True
Im not sure if I understand, what grinding?
Because when I tried it I was shocked on how easy it was to level...
My biggest problem was how empty everywhere it is. The game is gotten so big that whole areas are just complete wastelands :(
P - it’s easy to level but that doesn’t mean you’ll do a lot of damage. I think that is what JoKer tried to say.
You can level to the max and does significantly lesser damage those grinding for better potential stat and gears.
@@gymweeb9229 When people talk about grinding especially in mmo, they're not strictly talking about level but grinding same shit repeatedly to make their characters stronger (higher damage number) with better gears .
@@gymweeb9229 when you are like level 220+ that shit is PURE grinding
thinking back to the good old days of maplestory, it will never be the same again
nothing gonna be the same , include us, try the new things dear
@@acloudonthebluestsky9687 come to mapleroyals !!
@@chefi5357 Tell me, what was so good back then?
@@nefarioustoast More emphasis on playing with friend in PQs rather than solo grinding it. Job/Classes play a massive role in the game and you cant do a big part of the game without having a party with variety of classes, each bringing its' advantage to the table (thief got haste spearman got hb priest got hs etc...).
Not every job is meant to do massive dmg and reach max dmg, contrary to gms nowadays.
Trading and merchanting is a huge part of the game on their own and you can spend loads on loads of time getting money rather than grinding lvls and its great fun.
The list goes on can't be bothered to keep typing :P
so fucking sad
The nostalgia is real... where are those 2008 days
Frick gacha these were the days
Same shyt I missed it when I was in 2008 too fck.
It would never be the same now but I really missed it and the community that time. Haihhhh nostalgia af. Besides generation nowadays prefer things to be quick.. Before big bang era was the best shyt
This game was amazing back in the day... I think I probably played around 2006-2008... fuck I wish I had time to invest in a game like this; miss being a kid -- idk if it would have the same affect though, just glad I was able to experience Maple Story when I was young.
@@jfigurn550 haha yes so true. Those carefree life as kid in games haha I missed it. Relaxing and the community there are so friendly haha I mean mapler players are friendly tho. We take things slow and easy. If u go to dota those ppl are toxic hahaha
I allways tried to start again. But everyone know that the game changed so much.
What made the game so massive big in the days was the community. PQs,party grind,families, many active guilds. And it was also one if the first fully online mmos in the early 2000s
I think everyone who played activly back in these days, cannot start again now because its soooo boring for us veteran maplers, the true explorers :p
Also we grew. Only thing i have time for is MapleM. And i enjoy it, even if its lacks massive content. But i mean its god damn maple for phone. That was like an untold myth in 2005-2010+ that at some point we will have a maple for our pocket.
And here we are now, grown people lost in memories.
Cheers ma ol maplers :3
I had the urge to replay Maplestory recently and was disappointed that it’s so different. I haven’t played it since 2006. Then I discovered Old School Maple and now I’m back to wasting all my time in front of the computer again lol I really wish I didn’t get this nostalgia urge.
Tbh they should have a maple pocket that connects to the PC game so communities can stay connected in the fast pacing of this current life 🤩
Gunbound is another cool game made mobile
Honestly just downloaded it today due to attempting to relive a portion of my childhood lmao but damn its not and never will be the same ;(
cheers bud
Only if you play it with other people imo. The game became a solo farming game which isnt fun for me, if you play it and lv up with other people it's still fun
True that! Even as I kid I knew theg ame was getting worse when PQ's were becoming less of a thing. I actually miss waiting for hours as a low level trying to get a PQ invite.
@@WillyTung well you're in luck because it takes hours of waiting to find a PQ now too
In my opinion it's more fun if around the twenties you find a friend to play with you, then you'll want to grind so you don't fall behind the other
I stopped playing when the power creeping weapon cubes were introduced. As someone who grinded a lot back in the day, I never thought about damage output. But it became more and more important to endgame content, and it wasn't fun anymore.
maplestory died after Ludi, back in the day Ludi PQ was loaded and it was fun ass hell.
I have such fond memories of Ludi PQ! And getting to the bottom of the tower only to realize Omega sector wasn't added yet.... Some of the most fun I've ever had in gaming.
yes you would go ludi for 14 years? YEA RIGHT
for real...
Ludi PQ was the most fun in Mapple. I still remember how i was really good leader in my party, with awesome bowman. After reach lv 5x, i trained so hard and quickly get level 9x. Then I came back to Ludi and met my old friends who still waiting for party in there. They surprised , appreciated and admired me. That feeling will be never find again in my life.
ludi PQ was really fun and we got that, but we should move further as well, like...higher contents, i mean...yeah ?!
2004 vet here, absolutely pick it up! I just got myself back into it and it’s still a blast! Love this game to death. Most people who play nowadays are the ones who started 10+ years. We’re very helpful and love to see new interest! I don’t want to see it close 😭❤️
I think the game's current status is pretty okay. Lots of exciting stuff and even more to come. I've been enjoying playing maple for a long time now but yeah it can be pretty tough for new players since they've added too much stuff x__x nice video btw :)
I just miss the whole aspect of party play. Current maplestory focused too much on story rather than party play, which is what made maplestory great in the first place.
Thinking about it all again it was this
*focused to much on solo play
LFM > HPQ must know seeds
@@justsomegirlwithahat333 too not to
Didnt click something quicker in my life
Didnt like something quicker in my life
Kinda crazy how much time flies. I remember the memories I had playing this game when I was 7 or 8 and now im about to finish college... I started reminiscing my past and here I am lol
Same here LOL!
I used to play this game so much when I was younger, now I'm 26 and I am in progress and downloading it on my computer. xD
Tried Maplestory 2, but it's not the same game at all..
Elvira Claesson hey I’ll play with you, I miss this game so much!! This used to be get away lol when I was younger
are you me? literally in the same boat lol
Lol I'm 24 now but still miss this game but reality sucks , but old good times will always being treasured 💙 💫
You are describing exactly my situation. xD
How did it go? U still playing?
@@lukaslebahn5814 No, it didnt work on my computer so well :( Didn't manage to get full screen on windows...
Thing is... You’re talking about the “progressive” content of MapleStory which back in 2005 people didn’t care about because no one played to level up or be a pro ass hitting over 9999k. Back in the days 90% of the players used to hang out with everyone in-game, one of the most populated zone was Henesys and the sub-map Maya’s House which people hangin around were called “Henehoes”, and that’s something that isn’t coming back. The game isn’t a social thing anymore since people only cares about numbers, MapleStory used to be an amazing game to make Online Friends and have a lot of fun and laughter, nowadays is nothing but a grinding 24/7 game.
RiP MapleStory 2005-2009.
No. It wasn't. In that time people EVER was trying to improve the best equipment. And it was a lot HARDER to do, because the drop materials was a lot scarce, and you need to make business. I remember times when it was 3, 4 scrolls of 10% DEX on some equipment, and you need to make money, and sometimes the bet was just hard. Being on FM 4, 5 hours/day. But was a GOOD game to do that. Finding scrolls on market, making investment and being an hardcore player to do, whatsoever, something like a 130 attack in 2 hand sword. THIS is funny, and your cash won't pay for your courage. I remember being one of the players on my server (Brazil) when you were recognizable by your equipment, strength and being a nice with everyone person.
@@MTheoOA No idea about you, but as far as i remember, players didn't care about gearing up and liked to socialize more.
That actually happens in every old mmorpg that got reborn or still exist nowadays.
Ragnarok online, perfect world, etc.
They all only care about damage, items, etc. Not social game anymore. I miss the era of where game become a social media..
It's like.. In early 2000 until 2013 I think. That's the era when online game is fun because it is like another world. The player like dive into the game and become a part of that world.
Not only online games on application. But also those Facebook games. Ninja saga, pet society, farmville, fishville, etc.
Ahh I missed the golden era of online game..
Now, online game player only care about the looks of the character, stats, money, and items. The chat is full with ad spam. Or toxic people.
Back then, the possibility of people got their boy/girlfriend from online game is still high. I mean not that high, but at least higher than today.
That's why there are plenty of anime about getting your couple from online game or.. relationship between opposite gender in online game. Such as Sword Art Online. Or Log Horizon. These anime obviously got inspired by the early 2000 mmorg games like Ragnarok Online and Maple Story. These things are beautiful. The interactions between player.
Ahhhh this makes me so sad I remember that so well :( Wish I could go back and play the old maple for a day, would be amazing. I made soooo many friends ugh.
i remember i used to scam alot of accounts in the market FM ahahha xD
I started to comeback "fulltime" to this game since the Black Mage update, I would say the main issue new players will have is finding the right server and party since most people afk at Henesy or request to CC at CLP.
should merge all the sever into 1 LOL
What server do most people play on now? Every time I play Bera it’s a ghost town :(
@@damienm3774 I haven't seen a single botter in Reboot as opposed to Scania, my home world where I saw more meso farming ad characters than anyone else
@@acloudonthebluestsky9687 A world merge is coming! Sadly not all of the worlds will be merged all in one, but as a Broa player, this is quite exciting.
jin from bts has always been a big fan of this game and played live a lot of times, so I always was interested in playing it, but now with the collaboration, it definitely made me downloading it, let's see how it goes!
SAMEEEEEE
I just realized I said "You need to get a lot of stronger"..............
Tbh i came back prob because of reboot i enjoy the long grind for weapons instead trying to trade for them. Way easier as a solo player
I dont know why, but your accent sounds like dutch
@@skrrbrr8582 OMG it does
Sounds like perfectly good engrish to me
Forever be a happy memory in the back of my mind lol good to hear & see people still actually play nice video man !
Oh my god, I've actaully been thinking about jump back into MS, mainly because of the soundtrack. To this day, it's one of my all time favourite soundtracks - so calm. Nice video~!
It's probably one of the greatest soundtracks ever made for a video game
true
I actually started maple last week and just hit level 130! Its been an enjoyable experience
im starting fresh in scania with some friends. too nostalgic and during this quarantine it'll be fun with my friends.
I'm still playing but I want to go back 2008 server. as you know 2019 maplestory is not the same game with Maplestory 2008.
used to watch your videos back few years ago when I played and I'm surprised you still making content.
you've helped alot back then but like everyone says. it's to much pay to win now for the big unnecessary dmg. keep up the work. u do help alot of people out there with MS
Over the years, Maple always lurked in my mind, a remnant of my childhood. I can say that my inner child is still prominent even as an adult, which is why it’s always been nice to revisit and log into the game. A few months ago, I returned to see what’s up (especially with the game download rate at a much faster speed now lol). I started to grind and do all these quests all the while I was starting to get bored of the chores I had to do to level up and such. Then, without notice, I met someone super special and my whole world, IRL and in MS, changed. In 2020, I’m hopeful to see where MS takes us. ❤️
topazsomnium that went from 0-100 real quick
everyone in maple is a flaming, blazing, lighting infused ball of fire flying and zipping everywhere
Back in my day we used to think the thief jump and the mage blink was cool.
back when items were special and rare like the pink cape.
Exactly, I played way back when Maple Global was the only server I could play in. No 3rd job. Orbis wasn't even out back then, sleepywood was end-game.
The highest level was like Level 60. Being level 40+ means you were a Pro. Haste was like the best skill/buff you could get in a party. Every class were unique and amazing in their own way. So sad that those good days were gone so quickly.
Yessss exactly!!!!
We need haste for a faster time end in a PQ lmfao
Great video man 🤘🏽
i love your review! :D and your last line is so good hahah!! :D
Been playing maple since it first came out and yeah things have changed alot. It's still fun for me and I like that they're still updating the game but it's kind of sad that the community has shrunk :( I miss PQs the most, those were the most fun but sadly the rewards aren't worth it anymore so no one wants to PQ. If only they updated the rewards for PQs to make them relevant again.
@john doe I'm playing in MapleSEA, Draco.
@john doe Wbu?
duskloke playing in maplesea cassiopeia
I started playing MS when I was 4 years old and I can't enjoy MS in this years it became to easy to level up and hard to find someone who will play with you for a long time.
same
Hey boys!
As a dutch guy myself having played maplestory since youth, currently i know noone who plays it anymore.
BUT, currently, i'm studying in Japan, and i see advertisments for Maplestory Mobile on the daily...
There is still hope!
how come you study in japan mate. thats a long way from deutchland.
@@cosma_one from the Netherlands, yeah, but my school has a partner school in Japan!
@@FogsFles you lucky bastard.
Try Japan Server Maple? XD
Wat studeer jij dan?😂
I started playing Maple Story since kindergarten (I am from Hong Kong and kindergarten starts since 3 yr old) and kinda stopped when I was 10, but now, as a teen, I have been in pursuit of my childhood. Maple story played a big role in my childhood and I would like to get back the feeling. Hope it lasts forever.
I sure do miss this game though. It was great while it lasted but it's impossible to do all the daily quests every day. Just that takes several hours.
Man the word "cape" reminds me of this game. I will never forget the days of 5 years old me playing PQs without fully understanding English, it was so magical and so fun. In my first time that I've played it after years that I didn't play, I was going to Lionheart's Castle, and when I saw it was empty it was so sad for me, the music there even increased this feeling (you OGs will surely remember that people used to party up against these crocodiles). Also seeing PQ empty was so sad too. Nexon absolutely destroyed party-play in this game. I never enjoyed a game more than this game, it's heartbreaking what has been done to this game, it isn't even allowed to be called adaption since I'm sure that every generation would like to party-play, we are social creatures.
*Rushing through content*
That pretty much sums up how it feels for me playing Maplestory...
Recently came back after 10+ something years & the game is purely solo grinding for levels now. I mean ffs, I’m only 3 days in & I'm level 147 already. The quests make sure you’re occupied alone & also take you away from interaction.
No interaction with people needed. Parties aren’t required for 99.9% of the gameplay.
Hey Coppersan I’ve watched your videos since The beggining and I just wanted to respect the hussle and to let you know that many of those invisible viewers are nostalgic people who get really happy to see you again! Namaste brother, keep doing you! We love it! 🙏🏻
🥰
I wish I was born before 2005 so I could find maplestory and play during the Christmas event
I started a week ago and I was lucky enough to be allowed into my old guild. Alot of veterans and active people in there, so I could ask them everything I needed to.i agree with the fact that there is too much content, I got completely overwhelmed but I am really enjoying the fact that leveling is faster. This is my personal preference ofcourse.
I think the game is a lot of fun still i even found new friends on the reboot server that made me so happy after coming back to it after a few years
THIS WAS THE VIDEO I NEED
MaplestoryM has completely taken over my years of playing maplePC! If I’m on le PC Maple2 is more interesting now :3
I played this game back in 2006-2009. I have such fond memories of it. The music was always so relaxing, especially after a stressful day at school. Specifically remember the relaxing music in the Slime trees and killing tree stumps in the mountain place, forgot the name, I was able to level grind in those two places. I was an ice/lightning mage.
Every now and then I look up this game to listen in on the nostalgic sounds. I don't know if I can ever get back into it. Too much wishing I could go back to the old days, but I'll always have happy memories with this game.
perion? place with hogs and red dragons. btw i'm an ice/lightning mage too
I've been playing off and on since Bellocan came out so quite a while. I still enjoy this game. I like a lot of the changes nowadays. It's more realistic to get strong gear without having to spend money.
I dropped ms a lot of times but I always come back to it and it's always a ton of fun
If you have the time, it is. There’s always an opportunity to make friends and levelling isn’t too bad
this is why i enjoy the beginner community so much. you don't one shot everything, it's actually a challenge to level, and in most cases you need to be with other people to accomplish stuff.
I playwed maplestory is 2006-2010 what a game!!!!
I love this game,u can't found mmo rpg like maplestory and class is good the story is good i recommend the game its relaxing form other games its my childhood i grow in maplestory and its my 1st online game i ever played that thx for my big brother he pull me in the game
I miss the old maplestory, i remember playing with my friends and slaying 999 zombie mushrooms and evil eyes.,traveling deep into sleepywood.hanging out with other playes in the sauna, kpq, lpq, monster carnival,omg a tears in my eyes.i wish old maple will comeback😢
Ned Senga feels bro 😢
I want modern maple to succeed. I play OSM private server (3rd job is max) and miss the journey from each job. I love how each job has some advantage over the other and different builds and fun stuff can be done. Archers having higher accuracy and range can train on ludi mobs earlier from ranged platforms, sins and f/p mages can kill lycanthropes who can drop ilbis early due to their single target nature and weakness to fire. F/p mages can do a different stat build to kill high lvl mobs early using poison breath, you can hp warrior be level 50 and kill anything you want with Power Guard. Page/White Knights can go early freeze builds to save tons on pots. I myself am a Dragon Knight who looks forward to the priests who want to party because Hyper Body and Spear Busters high single target damage. You can simply just be an islander and join that community of people. OSM has a special ranking for some of the weird builds (STR Mage XD)
I think these intricacies made maple special and highly miss them. Modern Maple I just log on to carry lotus/damien/HMage on reboot (Stopped playing before flames). The ability to branch off and do weird stuff appeals to me. Lukless mages, dexless warriors, etc. (you need luk to wear mage gear, you need dex for warriors to hit mobs). I'd love some sort of hybrid between this as I do love a lot of the new classes in maplestory, or at the very least I love the new hairstyles and cashshop items. Though I also think some classes have become way too flashy. Classes now are so homogenized (warriors having flash jumps, dps is trying to be balanced so everyone does the same amount of dps to a boss, formula of full map atk + mobing skill + bossing skill, no real disadvantages between classes, no need to get a bishop to HS, paladin for CO, Archer for SE etc...)
I played WoW Classic Servers and love them over Modern WoW, I played Oldschool Runescape and love it over RS3 and now maple following the same trail. I love the game enough to write something like this, but at the same time sad the modern game has moved away from me and I'm just wasting my time typing this.
I play OSM too! Go OSM!
Oh boy, the day where my sin proudly wearing only bathrobes in public
This is by far the best comment in this entire comment thread. I still currently play Maplestory but I would absolutely LOVE if they copied WoW and Runescape's footsteps and made a Pre-BigBang Classic Maplestory..
Just as a note, if you don't want to spend money on the game there is a server named Reboot that is F2P. You spend mesos on the cubes from cashshop. However, you can't trade with anyone in the server. As a long time player, I'd strongly recommend this server for those who are coming back.
I want to try it again becuz of this comment, i didnt know that there r server like that for players like me who can't spend real money in to the game.
EDITED:And becuz of this video XD
Switched to maple m for its utility, but I wish it had more classes. People complain about the auto battle but you can take it off, so that isn't an issue. Maybe I'd get back into the PC one if my friends still played but it's been ages.
I tried returning to it in 2015 or around then. I got banned for speed hacks on the bounce pads in the quest for that weird mountain goddess. The one where you instantly die if you don't get to the bounce pads in time. I haven't returned since
not really, wish maple did a legacy server that was pre big bang. leveling is just too easy now that it took away the nostalgic feel of doing PQ's at low levels etc.
Well, you haven't gotten to end game leveling yet.
Anhnole what @mashed said
Any level before 200 is like tutorial👀
i started fresh in Bera recently after a long hiatus in Arcania.
Havent regretted a second playing.
Really?? I’m a Bera player but it’s always a ghost town! Is there a new hangout spot now?
for the last 2 years i think about once a week about coming back to maplestory^^ such a great game... hope i will have the time to really play it again soon :)
so many memories!!!
gonna come back cuz u motivate me
A lot of quest stuff kinda turned this game into a soloish mode, but I will forever remember the three weeks it took me to go from 1-24 alone back in 2008 haha.
I remember hearing about it in middle school and I LOVED IT. I played it so much and there was always tons of people. Now that I’m an adult my account somehow got deleted and I didn’t see a single person. I feel like maplestory is dead 😔
If there's an old school runescape, they should make an old school maplestory
also for the coming back players there will be burning event that will make lvl up 3 times in row gonna start 5/8/2019
I miss party quest, I feel that was a major part of maplestory was being the community together and seeing all these people in one sever selling items and doing diffrent things together. When I first played it, the community was like no other RPGs that ive played at that time
This is something I posted on another video talking about the same topic:
I played before the first anniversary and gotta say, there’s a LOT of things that has been improved, yet with the changes, other problems had come.
1) I was happy with the new experience curve. Back in the days, it was frustrating to work SO hard for weeks just to level up one level an get 3 miserable skill points. And most skills would require 30 SP to max out.
Now it’s easier to level up... but WAY freaking easy. So much, that it doesn’t represent a challenge anymore. You’re too strong, monsters are weak and they give a ton of exp.
2) For me, the skill system was always messy. 3 skill points per level were too little to feel any sense of progression. Plus, you had to leave some skills because the skill points you received were not enough. Yet I could consider it challenging as well (because you had to chose which skills you'll play with) and also it allowed you to replay any job.
Now you can almost max them all out with, like, 20 SP each (some of them 10 SP!). The sense of progression is better but skills might get old too fast. I like the skill rework tho.
3) Moving through the world was a thing. Some quests required you to board a ship and that took like 20 minutes. 20 minutes were you did nothing but wait, or try to kill the crimson barlrogs and die. Some other places, like the towers, were exhausting. Not to mention that if you died, you had to do it all over again. Yes, there were faster ways to move like scrolls and cabs, but they could get expensive (and we were not swimming in messo like nowadays). All and all, the Maple Wolrd felt alive and well connected. It was kind of hard to move sometimes but the exploration was always fun - you know, it was a game mechanic. Hidden streets and deep maps had some magic touch.
Today, there’s much more maps and the world is richer with many new ways to move.
.
I find this three issues (leveling, skills and maps) to have the changes that solved many of the old Maple’s problems, while creating new ones.
1) Now you level up so fast, that you don’t require any potions, nor equipment. Why would you get an equipment that you’ll stop using in less than ten minutes? (For levels 10-30). Plus the drop rates are much higher. You’ll get a lot of equipment to sell, a lot of free potions and a lot of money that won’t spend, creating inflation. Which you could say it doesn’t matter cause players don’t sell stuff to each other anymore, but if we are not going to use the messo system, why does it even exist? I mean, it’s nonsense for players to trade stuff. Most of the time, a monster would drop JUST what you’re looking for (equipment, potion, throwing star, etc). If they don’t, you can just -insanely- upgrade your equipment until monsters drop what you need.
2) Back in the days there was variety. A Warrior was like the opposite of a Mage. While thieves had avoidabilty, bowmen had accuracy. Skill and Stat Points used to make a huge difference. Now, skill trees have the same type of skills. All clases have an AOE skill, a skill that makes them move faster or jump higher, a skill that gives the defense they need, a skill that group the monsters, etc, etc. In an attempt to make classes balanced between each other, they made them all the same, but with a few tweaks here and there, removing the need to complement classes betwen each other. Now, all of the classes can be played solo.
So yeah. Maple is more of a single experience rather than a gridding-with-friends game.
3) “But that can’t be wrong, right? I mean there’s a ton of quests and maps! Skyrim does that too”. Yeah but in Skyrim you don’t move that fast, you get to see the environments, to involve in the story behind every quest. In new Maple, traveling is WAY EASIER and there are more teleport gates. Not to mention the guide teleport or that some quests would insta-teleport you to a new map. And I get it: bigger map means bigger distances. But now the map is skippable. There is no exploration anymore because it’s not needed. The world is less exciting and sometimes you get to miss areas because they’re not useful for questing or useful for leveling (like the pig beach, that still there for some reason and it’s not a hidden street anymore). Not to mention that some new maps share the same monster level range, making them worthless once you passed those levels.
.
IN CONCLUSION:
I believe you can’t relate to Maple anymore: it doesn’t represent a challenge anymore; you don’t get to meet new friends (IF you get to find any other player on the same map) because community is dead since you don’t need partners; and the maps are repetetive or skippable so there’s nothing to discover.
I’d say that Maple Story has a more casual approach. Is it worth playing it on 2019? Yeah, maybe. Just not for me.
Me and a couple of mates decided to get back into it in 2016, it felt like a ghost town but we eventually came across another player who was surprised of our presence, gave us some cool items to use which they said were rare and said he'll help us navigate around and what not but a few hours later we logged off
I want a version of maplestory with all the content from current maple, but with the leveling up speed/grind of pre-big-bang update.
If thats what you wanted, good luck reaching the actual game at the higher levels lol.
@@Mattarii >The actual game
oh, you mean the part that plays identical to pre-big bang but with bigger numbers?
@@therealquade Yes
Then hopefully they don't keep the same level requirements as they do now, or we're back to being stuck for hundreds of hours pre 3rd job again lol. Leveling up after lev 50 for me at pre-big bang speed/grind was infinitely spamming lucky seven at forest of golems.
@@rabbitspeed9 my badly made ice lightning mage was somewhere between lv 90 and 112 when big bang hit.
My broken bandit was lv 45-50 (I maxed disorder, not doublestab, then I went for SB, and was fighting 10-45 levels ahead of myself for the challenge, accuracy pills and disorder bro max disorder was beastly before they changed how accuracy and exp worked and they removed disorder)
I have not played in several years at this point. My anti-virus detects game-guard as a virus, and if I try to use a 3rd party program to map controller inputs to keyboard such as using DPad to walk, and mapping skills to directions on thumbsticks, Guess what happens? gameguard thinks it's a bot/hack and crashes my whole damn computer back to the bios. my AV detects that it can do that, and automatically deletes gameguard and the game won't launch.
Plus it wound up being too much of a time-sink. I still miss the game.... I was more than half way through temple of time's quests... the 999 ones, I was in the 3rd set of enemies, and that's when I finally stopped playing.
I’ve never really played maplestory but I’ve always wanted to play it ever since I saw my cousin playing it when I was a kid
i used to play this game a lot, so many friends and good memories not looking to play it but just want to see the state of the game.
If I am looking to start playing maplestory again on a new account, should I play reboot or a regular server? Which do you think would be better for a yt series
I think the Maplestory of today has became too complicated, the pace of the game became too fast,
although the changes (potentials on equip, that you can forge your own armour/ mix your own pots) aren't bad.
You can't really chill and enjoy the game in your own pace as it used to be.
The number of confusing classes (do you really need that many?), systems etc. just puts pressure on you to take as much time as possible to lvl up characters. Not everyone has the time for it and players who know this game for 10 years are now adults.
Even though lvling became easier, you feel quite lonely in this game because of the missing exitement of the former community
(and it's a bad development that there is no FM anymore, one additional missing social aspect).
I would recommend new players to start playing on a private server - before trying the original Maplestory of today.
wait... they removed the Free Market? Can players still trade freely? Can you set up shops in any form?
Omg i found you guys again after 7 years lmao
i think i would just do it for nostalgias sake yanno listening to the cute music and playing absent mindedly
I played this game 2007-2010 very intense and it’s really painful to see how the developers totally ruined my childhood troughout the years.
Your intro brought me back into those days ....
i've invested a significant amount of time and money into maplestory but i cant find the motivation to keep playing. all my friends have left the game and im on solo most of the time, stuck on my damage range and unable to progress
I miss maplestory sometimes but now only have enough time for mobile games.
It’s pretty great tbh I just rejoined recently, I’m enjoying it a lot so far. Nice review tho
where do you play? I just started yesterday! I play in reboot! Aran lvl 149 Character name : Zatoiichi
I'm also incredibly biased, but I always think it's a good time to get back into MapleStory.
Agreed. I play MS 1 and 2.
i do miss how easy it was to PQ as now it’s near impossible to find people to play with BUT, they have a lot of events and such things that keep it fun. I used to play pre big bang and came back it and still enjoy it just as much. But if it does goes back to PQ lobbies being as full as they used to be, i don’t think i’ll ever log off
I'd say no, because it just feels nostalgic and if I do ever play it again that just ruins it
Before I finish the video ('cause I gotta get up for like 10 minutes), THEY FIXED THE MISSION BUG ON PINK BEAN AFTER CLAIMING IT WASN'T BUGGED!!!!
I played maplestory 10 years ago. The game kept changing and getting bigger. Wasnt always a good thing. But i never manage to get back no matter how big the nostalgia is. Truth is i just dont have time to loose in MMOs anymore, and i always get bored.
nice video guys
EDIT: I actually think if people just start playing again and find each other, at some new hanging spot to socialize (what indeed the old MapleStory was all about) - it could definitely come alive again!! Just start playing again, meet up & have some fun!
It definitely is different then the good old days! But I must say I started again recently (after my account was deleted due to merges years ago), and although you level really quickly (already lvl 89 after a few days) - I still like the game and the interaction between players and they added some really nice things to the game. Yes it's not the same (FM is gone, so is the community a bit), but I encountered some old (& new) players to play with and talk to, and that's really nice - reminds me of the past. If you are looking for the good old days solely (Henesys is still a small hanging spot, at the market), don't start again - but if you are open to the world of Maple Story and it changes, definitely give it a try! The pathfinder class is really nice I think, but it's because I used to be a bowman too and it's quite similar. If you want, add me (Saliziia) - I'm still looking for more active players! :3
I think that there are some legitimate arguments for a pre-bb MapleStory server and the current playerbase that calls it all nostalgia isn't seeing the whole picture. If Nexon managed to pull something like that it could see a resurgence in playerbase like Reboot and the real biggest issue, the lack of community/multiplayer gameplay, could be partially fixed.
I think Maplestory is actually getting bigger again, i heard a lot of people started playing again
Julian Spruijt just like with minecraft :D
Yea with private servers that are for versions 0.62 and 0.83
Hahaha hahahahahhahahahahahhaha breaths ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaa breaths hahababababababahab
@Diego Vester This, and nearly all of them are pre-big bang servers.
Says a lot about where peoples interest in the game is.
Im currently downloading maple story again with my friends! I played ms wayyyyy before the reboot so im curious how much it changed 😥 I know it'll never be the same again but seeing so many new classes, im super curious about them all! Im more surprised at the amount of damage people can do these days 😨
I've spent so many years of my middle school/high school life playing this game... I've been feeling nostalgic for it lately but now I work 40 hours a week and I know that I won't have the time to fully get into it again. 😔
Make sure you start off with a Jett. It just goes uphill from there :)
Honestly, 2006-2009(before big bang update) are the golden years of maple. Itll never be the same. Maybe Nexon will bring some people back if they made a private server for nostalgic versions like 0.62 and 0.83 but the reality is that most people wont even hear about it since they've left this game a long time ago.
still playerquests to lv up faster? also do pcs still suck on return for exp? hacking still a problem?
Does the game still have massive lag whenever you try to enter a new room? I remember there was a lot of delay a year or two ago due to the lack of server support.
I played for a few weeks until I got a nexon message “you are temporary banned for using illegal programs”
It was pretty fun while it lasted but it wasn’t that feeling of true magic anymore.
I think this the first time I saw copper
10/10
How do you play Maplestory from another country. When i try to play from Japan on GMS I can't even download the game they won't allow me. Anyone have any idea? I've been a Beta player since it started. Haven't played in 10 years.
Is there a gear barrier to someone with old gear (cra, tyrant, etc) to do the newer endgame content?
I know they added the arcane stuff when 5th job was introduced-- has that grind been changed at all and are there any others?
Not worth it...if it was before the big bang update, I'd play it again...
When this game was launched i was 2 years old ( my father account ) who come here after bts 🤭
