- The MMORPG MapleStory is currently the most popular it has been in decades. This 20 year old game is still going strong, however it started the year on a low note. After it was revealed it has been withholding crucial information regarding their random box rates for years.

This is the EXACT SAME REASON why I stopped spending money in the game and never looked back. When the permanent pets were first released, they made an event where you had to open boxes to get them. After the first few days they changed the rates, so pets were 10 times more difficult to get, without any notice to players. That day, I decided I would never give them money again until every item they sell for cash is cosmetic, and I've kept that promise
Didn't they make the new servers where everything could be bought for mesos?
@srboromir452 Yes, they did open Reboot, and most of the things can be bought with mesos there, which is why I came back to the game, but not everything. Most notably, pets, especially vac pets that are the most useful, can only be bought with cash, which is paid like a subscription. If you miss a day with events, you can recover it using cash, not mesos. You can also use cash to gain extra entries to content like monster park and maple tour, which affects your exp and mesos income. They also tried to sell bags of mesos for cash at some point, but players pushed back on that, so they had to remove them... which didn't stop them from trying and failing again. Recently, they tried to make 6th job a subscription thing and got everyone mad, so they had to stop that before release.
@@srboromir452 On Reboot, cubes can be bought for mesos, as can certain convenience items like hyper teleport rocks. Reboot still has many cash items, and the most "pay to win" of those was vac pets (perma pets being part of this convo too). For the low, low price of 95 USD plus like, 13? per month, you can get a pet that sucks loot from a long distance. USD, not mesos.
nope there's still a cash shop where people willingly spend money@@srboromir452
@@srboromir452 yet they fk'd all the meso farming methods, remove maps,...
we love large companies getting a relatively small financial slap on the wrist for terrible consumer practices!
We also love consumers who can't see that it was also the same people who found out about these practices and told everyone about it!
@@AcediaRulerOfSloth a government entity shouldn't be praised for doing the bare minimum of their duties. taxpaying citizens already give their dues. fuck nexon and fuck the kftc for letting this go on for so long
@@nekokinds you say that but so many other countries dont even do this
@@AcediaRulerOfSloth other countries have gone as far as banning any sort of gambling/loot boxes entirely so what's your point here? as long as they don't stoop to the lowest level it's all ok?
@@nekokinds so are you saying you live in those countries and maplestory is banned? But the fact that you're on this channel means you play maplestory through some illegal means? Just cuz those countries ban lootboxes, theyre doing gods work because they dont really care if you somehow still play a game with lootbox functionalities
I remember easily 7+ years ago on maple story MOBILE saying the cubes were rigged 100%, I would multi box 8 accs and use a cube on a similar item at the same time and usually 6 or 7 of the items would roll the EXACT same stats, exact same spot, slot for slot. it however took years afterwards for people to catch on and for nexon to get caught. the company is shady AF as has been for easily 10+ years.
Stop giving this game your time and money. It’s as simple as that. They’ve shown their true colors long ago, yet we still have people that whine about this stuff while continuing to log in. These same people probably talk about “corporate greed” and the little man getting screwed by big corporations, yet they enable it.
Nexon try not to scam challenge: impossible
Every time I think "huh, maybe now is the time to check how MS is going, and play a little, see if I can get to the endgame I never got" theres a new nexon scandal that just takes alway all my desire to play the game. Lmao
The end game you never got to is gone and never coming back. It got replaced by leaching bosses.
@@ricestrike7937 Nothing is stopping you from solo progressing, it just takes way longer
I mean it’s pretty good now still, you just don’t have to buy too much of their nx stuff. You can reach mid game (250) relatively easy now with hyper burning
8 million dollar fine is a joke, the Korean justice system always under punishes criminals.
The worst part is that this is the highest they've ever penalized a gaming company, so they really think they're doing something.
Yeah they probably earn 8.8m from a single big whale
I like how you blame them for exposing this and not praise them that they even released this news instead? Nexon wouldve continued scamming players if not for them
@AcediaRulerOfSloth Nexon made $86m in 2021 alone. Do you think $8m and some bad press means anything to them? Nobody will talk about this in a few months and nexon will be on to a new scam.
Fines are only punishments for the poor.
The rich pay a cut of their profits... if they get caught.
3 days into the year? Nexon breaking records for scandles.
im not surprised. I even have doubts with Starforcing.
Maybe its just me, but getting %mainstat (dex in my case) on my gear has a lower chance than getting any other non-useful stat like Int%/Luk%. It might be bad luck, but nah...Nexon wouldnt do such things
Every class gets int except mage. And makes get all others but int. I once had a xenon that had several all stat in unique but couldn't get it as legendary
I mean I'm not saying that that is beneath Nexon to do, but that is very easily explained by the fact that you have a 3/4 chance of getting a stat you don't need instead of the 1/4 for getting what you need.
I'm sure they did something, main stat always have lower chance appear than other stat, I've noticed that the %dame boss rarely appears compared to before.
It's not just you, it's clear as day. MapleStory players are just mental gymnasts.
I remember 2010 Maplestory…. That was a good time … I trained for years to beat zakum 💀
now we kill him In 5 seconds 10 minutes after starting a new character... 😂
@@MistaWind one shot him after a week of training
Best MS is 2006-2009 ms, 2010 was garbage
@richardlebouthillier3770 I remember when being level 80+ was considered high level and no 4th jobs
@@shadowhellzx I think my highest level was a 11x dexless sin, this thing was a monster but I remember wasting so much money on maple trade system (mts) when it first came out.. I do agree it was rough at times but god was it fun back then
Imagine having one of the oldest surviving games in a "dying genre" and killing it because of greed T_T
maplestory died in 2015
At this point, Nexon recognized that it will never get new and active players again so they're milking as much as they can from the playerbase that grew up on their game and now have disposable income. But once our class of players starts to prioritize other things in life as we get older (such as family), this game is dead. I give Maple a very generous max 10 years before it shuts down for good.
That's kind of the reason the genre is dying.
Apart from the high level of time commitment the game expects from players, this is one of the many reasons I decided to pull the plug on continuing the game.
With so many content becoming cash-gated and when spending becomes an expected norm, you know something is seriously wrong. I’m seriously dumbfounded at such a move, to misuse and eventually forfeit the trust the remaining players have in the game
Not this when I was thinking on coming back just for fun 💀
Just one more reason I can't justify going back to the game, the list of shady, disrespectful or downright stupid choices that nexon has made towards the player base and the game itself is never ending and its a damn shame to see the carcass of a once great game be dragged through the sewers to try and catch whatever pennies they can from their addicted players who are just wading through shit.
I quitted several times over the 17 years I've been playing with about half of those being due to the bs nexon pulls, but about a year ago I came back and gave me a solid rule, don't force to play and to my surprise it has worked, at most I play an hour per day while watching youtube with days I don't feel like it not logging and have yet to feel the need to quit
its a waste of time, at least i can tell that, honkai star rail relic system is much more better than this bullshit, as you need to spend meso to roll and to buy cube with 3000x prices as well
you know whats Hypocritical the fact how yall say that yet you still come here to write a long comment about how much you hate it but yet here you are still here Wild .
@@PokeMan69 I am watching a coppersan video because I like coppersan and have watched him for almost a decade, how is it hypocritical exactly when I am not playing the game? This comment is not the "gotcha" statement that you thought it was mate
we all love coppersan brah but you legit sound like a hypo for even being here and saying that kinda crap about a game you dont even play .@@seancurtis1199
Imagine stealing at least 10's of millions from people and getting fined 8 million.
I would keep stealing at that point.
That is the issue with these soft punishes.
It actually becomes an INSENTIVE to keep doing it rather than a detergent
Detergent lmao
Insentive lmao
@@kody3315 I let that one slide because at least it sounds like the intended word 😂
Best part they were fined. But where does that money go? Not back to the people scammed lol. Just another persons pocket.
Nah balance my ass the fact they didn't communicate it says more than enough.
I love how maplestory players are always getting fucked but the next day they go back to playing that shit
No this time
They are simps what you expect
I mean is there any other 2D MMO with cute style that is actually good aside from Ms?? I can't think of one
I remember when I was a teen , spending hundreds of NX cards on miracle cubes trying to get better stats on weapons...if only i knew.
I don't remember the origin of it but the sentiment that if a company is only being punished with a fine, then that fine is just the cost of doing business. Or the related but still applicable, If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
If a company makes more money from a deceptive practice than they would ever pay out in fines they have sweet fuck all incentive to stop doing it
Their maplestory m version also scamming the players with ninja nerf for drop rates and stats but unfortunately to the mobile version no one talk about this 😕
No wonder why I keep getting 27-30% int on my shade/dw/bucc 😅
nexon lied about rates? i'm so shocked.
I knew there was something funny about how my boss loot drops was turned up like 500% on Christmas and cube rates where crazy but I never spend money so I can't get scammed. You only get scammed if you dwell in greed. Good luck maplers.
I kinda assumed Nexon were doing things like this, and more. i can't lose any trust in Nexon because I haven't had any for a long time now. Maybe one day they'll give up their quest to be the shadiest company of all time and actually give transparency a go, but I wouldn't hold my breath. c:
I have a lot of nostalgia for Maplestory but I will never play a Nexon game again, I hope they go bankrupt.
I have fond memories of Maplestory but Nexon is one of the greediest and most negligent MMO companies
Only 8 mil 🤢might as well make them pay in mesos. And this is just barely scratching the surface, they should look into more stuff. From what I hear they didn’t even look at the coding, they just looked at the emails and internal chat logs.
nah no way Nexon would ever scam anybody
I knew i wasnt insane when i only get 3 lines ATT% on Matt classes and vice versa. :*(
and we're just as much at fault for letting these guys get away with it.
we forgive them too easily by continuing to play the game and spend money on it after they try to win us over with free stuff.
the same thing is just gonna happen again in the future.
Hmmm seems like a very nexon thing to do
I remember it being 2005/2006 and the game being in beta. good times
Ah yes the so original “I remember when…” comment
@@AidenNyte1 you mad at my comment bro? hahahahah
Everytime I try to get back into it, Nexon pulls off some stupid marketing stunt. Good reminder to stay away from it and try out other games that respect their playerbase.
This is the least surprising thing i've ever seen unfortunately
Interesting... I knew the triple boss line was impossible. I spent thousands of NX attempting.
i've always hated Nexon/Maplestory ever since they did that "free haircut coupon" which butcherers your hair (i got the shaved head with a bald spot). And to get another haircut, you'd have to pay money for an item.... no thank you & goodbye.
Few decades later, i tried "Riders of Icarus" when it was early-in-development.... was fine, until they went pay2win & made "hard modes" which prettymuch required you to spend money on re-rolls to make your gear OP. Was fun, was artsy and nicelooking; but wasn't about to Whale my way for digital clout.
Pay2Win sucks sooo much.
The first time I ever felt scammed by this game was when they gave out those hair coupons that deliberately gave you a s****y hairstyle so you'd have to pay to get it fixed.
A month ago, when we all got the Lil Terry vac pet, I was collecting about 6-8 erda fragments per half hour of play. And when the pet disappeared, the number dropped to 0-2, even though I had 20% more droprate. What a coincidence...
I run 354 drop and still have my terry for 1-2 weeks. I mostly do dailystory aka 30min dailies and maybe 1 day a week I'll get like 8-10 frags from mobs then the other days I'll get 0-2. Extremely random.
stop wasting your time on this game@@smartyyy
So what's the plan now? Scroll gear and then cube it on an opposite stat character? Freakin' Nexon man
all these complaints but all of you are still going to play maplestory so what's the point
Nexon is such a litigious company that I doubt they would let the FTC throw untrue accusations without retaliating with a suit. The fact that they are not and just going on livestream to “debunk” should tell you something.
Honestly, new leadership at Nexon Korea is badly needed. These same corporate suits with their hard-nosed attitude towards the playerbase, and the developers, especially Wonkie, all need to be dismissed and fired. We need leadership that is Gamer and Community friendly and developer leads that are willing to listen to the community.
No one is going to want to take over the hot mess that is this game, lol. It's doomed.
@@HeyRoostyI doubt a new company would bother buying out Nexon, but a change in leadership is badly needed regardless.
The game could be turned around, but with the current leadership, it's impossible. They need to go.
I Hope MapleStory will get a real competition which will be made for players and thus it will get money from players. No real competition makes the company greedy and updates, and game development are at an absolute minimum
scammed players but the community itself kept playing a game knowing this could happen.
Cool! i'll just stay playing FFXIV then, i really need to find more mmo's...does anyone have any reccomendations?
you were my go to youtuber and part of reason i was able to enjoy maplestory. as far as pay to win goes, i'd rather buy food for friends.
Ive come to a conclusion that each item has a preset sequence of cubing results . Like the item has a hidden code that says its going to take 23 cubes to go from rare to epic . Some players might be so unlucky that theyll get one that needs 100+ cubes
Dude on the left @ 3:16 looks like Wonky from Orbis.
Not sure if trolling but that is Wonky…. That’s his character
@@plaguedoctor5657 lol really? Yeah dude self-inserted into the game.
Take me back to pre-CS Maple
Yall if you are actually angry at Nexon about this, then hit them where it will hurt.
Please uninstall the game and just stop playing. Otherwise nothing will ever change. Even the maplestory reddit, I remember a while ago people were ranting about boycotting, and now I see posts about vacuum pets and the new cash shop class skins. Just stop being a metric for them.
Not gonna happen, the Maplestory community is a spineless bunch.... At least realizing that helped me quitting, and im glad Nexon is hard at work giving me all the more reasons not to come back.
The MapleStory community consists of 100% fully addicted players who can’t go 2 days without logging in. The sooner this game gets shut down the better off everyone’s life will be lol. Imagine having time to do other things but farm legion and meso for 12 hours everyday for 10 years?!!!?! Smh
heres your compensation, 3 nodes and a 1 day tele rock
old maplestory is still better
No. Especially no AH.
@@kubasniak wat is AH
crazy ive probably burned thousands of dollars trying to get round glasses. just for it to be rigged? are we going to get $ compensated or just cubes? this is insane.
Grimy af secretly lower the rates behind players back. Just to make them spend more. Disgusting practice
I was genuinely confused by this considering the mobile version has all this and more and thought that it was introduced on the PC version first.
dat reminds me: need to get my paly up to a decent lvl. that and i don't bother using real money for legit cubes as much unless ranking it to unique at best.
I AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU!! well, not that shocked... actuallyi'mnotshockedatall...
Why would you cut away right before the level up? :(
Old Maplestory...I just want that back it was so simple and not like now where you just spend hours upgrading gear...whatever.
Yeah I found this out wayyyyy before during the introduction to the star-force system. Consistently getting fails at "90% success", and booming a LOT with a "1.7%" or whatever low chace? Yeah, fuck these dudes. Ruined the game over a decade ago.
They destroyed this game for me years ago with some of the mechanics changed in the "Big Bang" update. RIP.
So... Are they changing the cube system so it's now transparent and fair for everyone, or are they treating this fine as a payment to continue scamming as usual
There is a reason why GMS and KOREA has reboot servers while MapleSEA and maybe other regions do not.
THEY CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT! they can’t keep getting away with it…
Didn't this leave you feeling bad? Man... I'm glad we never bought more than 3 cubes lmao.
Using cubes has never got my equip better. For me they are the same as those item pot itens, my pet gather them, I throw them away...
I hope they turn the game around or somebody comes along and makes something similar but without all the horrible decisions.
I miss playing this game with a passion but every time I see a video like this I lose my motivation.
This is as blantant an example of not caring for your playerbase as you can get. I haven't touched this game since last summer and at this point, there's no point to continue. Even playing on reboot doesn't justify it anymore. As long as Maplestory is owned and run by Nexon this stuff will just keep happening. We've seen it go on for over 10 years. They're like a toxic partner. Only thing that can change the situation is walking away forever.
Amount of people criticising the punishment and not praising the people who even brought this up so players can make financially sound choices instead in this comment section says a lot.
Wizet buy your game back and maket it legendary again 😢
and? will ppl stop playing? no, so the company can do what ever
The only way Nexon will see any real punishment for this is if people stop playing. But of course that'll never happen, this is a community of enablers
Does any1 have any ideas how I can play Maplestory in VietNam, been hitting a dead end for weeks
and people still insist on playing on regular servers.
This whole controversy is the kind of thing that should have killed the game faster than it took to kill Maplestory 2's western release.
Whats the point of balance when its a pve game lmao. Powerscaling in this game went out of the door years ago.
When it said this game scammed you, I instantly thought of the $100s I spent on cosmetics only to be temporary. 😡
I was a jr high kid. And I had to beg my parents to make me a PayPal account so can use could pay for stuff.
Coppersan can you do how to install maple story sea (malaysia) on youtube? Thanks
ok guys, now you guys should come to Maple Legends and be happy again :)
@coopersan what’s the software you use to play Maplestory remote
3:15 dear god look at those dead faces. Do they still feel human or are they reduced to puppets
still not as bad as MapleSEA which till date REFUSE to have a reboot server but doesn't allow you to play Global.
*yes you can play via VPN, but there will be delay. I have 10 gbps by Singtel and I still feel it.
Quick, everyone! Act surprised!
Also, do we have a new apology bingo board going for the new 141 apology video? need that content ASAP.
I think the biggest appeal to maplestory is the near infinite character progress, the way they have set up stats, gear, character progression allows for infinite power creep and the ability to always make the next big boss.
That and the very unique art style which obviously works well in Korea as the cute astetic in korea is big.
They also have a Monopoly on their niche because the very thing that makes it appealing is also a reason to not switch to a new game.
yeah the chances of rolling the stats you want is insanely low. you'll see %luk, dex, and int several times on a warrior equipment before finding %str
I can confirm as a thief main that I get literally any stat except luk
@@GodOfMechas which is kind of ironic
Been Knew that with the SSB. repetitive wack item but never repetitively on a good item. but everything is "2%" of course
Everyone who feels they were a victim of rate manipulation, file a complaint with the FTC and let them know the amount of money you spent and ask that Nexon America's Maplestory code be investigated. It's only right we look into this and find out.
This just teaches Nexon to do it again 98% profit with 2 % loss
What on earth happened in 2022 to boost player numbers like that??
Oof... It's hard to believe that a game with such an innocent appearance at the top is really so dirty under the cover. It is turning me away from getting back into it knowing that it will munch away at my bank account. Maple, why are you doing this?!
I guess when my brother and I were making fun of this game by saying "this item hit so this one won't today, try tomorrow', we were correct.
I feel like it is the same for starforce. No way you try to go from 15*->16* and fail 10 times in a row, and then it breaks, but when you go on a starforce spree on a mule for legion power, you also fail at 0*->1* twice at 5%, then again once at 10% and then again once at 15%. I think I've seen an unreasonable amount of low chance fails back to back, and while I understand the power of streaks (like a coin flip landing on heads 10 times) and how one random chance event does not affect another random chance event, it seems to me that starforce is definitely tampered with. I won't be surprised if something like this comes up in the future.
Players: Nexon scam us!!!
Nexon: Always have been.
*Insert Obama putting medal on himself*
What have we learned from the previous Flames and Inner Ability scandal?
Wonki gets promoted :)
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice....
Just uninstalled the game yesterday. I may come back in the future if things get better, but knowing how greedy Nexon is, they'll likely ruin it for themselves and the community again. I really can't go back even if I wanted to at this rate. I don't know when we're going to be screwed over again.
Why is player count peaking now? Good time to return?
Most players play on reboot, where the rng manipulation doesn't actually hurt the wallet since cubes are basically farmed. (But still is annoying for reboot players because imagine farming for rigged cubes)
And there is an afk and new years event which explains the inflated player numbers.
There's a legion block event. People (myself included) are afking for 6 to 8 hours everyday because of it. I ain't missing this block, chief. Already missed lab server.
Identisk is a pretty good event for exp as well. Both for main and mules. And there's good rewards from it just for logging in and also killing 2k monsters 3 times a week (aka more stuff for doing your dailies)
Dmt is going on rn too for multiple weekends, and there were two 30% sf events in December I think.
Also, year of the dragon event can give sac selector, 17 star scroll, mag growth potions, by killing mobs (again, more stuff for doing dailies)
As you can see, you're very incentivized to log in and do dailies and stay logged in while alt tabbed to inflate them engagement numbers baybyyy.
6th job and new legacy items
We always knew probability was wack in Maple. Now there’s proof. 50% scrolls never worked more than half the time.
it feels like they have dropped sol Erda frag rates as well in reg server !!! not happy
who wouldve thought mild shock
So will it finally catch up to nexon global? One can only hope green 🐸 ☕️
