Oh wow I never thought of them moving F4 over to F5 because people would accidently close their game that way. I always get annoyed whenever I train a new character because I always have to change it back. (f4)
I find most of the design changes which have taken place over the years to be for the better (most notably - the introduction of many new classes, scrolling system overhaul and even crafting), except for two, which are probably the most critical: 1. There social aspect of the game is nowhere near what it used to be, ever since transportation from town to town has become instant, and equipment has become extremely common. Players have become far less dependent on each other, and it's enough to take a quick glimpse at the amount of players in the Free Market entrance in order to personally internalize it. 2. It is now possible to hit level 160 within a few days of training, and except for bosses that require massive funding, there is almost no content for levels 170 to 250. Back when it took a month to hit level 40, there was technically tons of content to experience over the course of a few months, whereas now you hit 170 before you've experienced even 25% of the game's content, and at that point, the other 75% is too low-level for you to care about. If you ask today's players what they can tell you about towns like Korean Folk Town, Omega Sector, or even Orbis, a lot of them won't be able to tell you much about those. Hunting for that level 40 magician hat used to be very exciting (at least to me), yet now you hit level 50 before you even realize that you've received a free level-40 equipment box from the game when you've hit level 40 two minutes ago. As a result of these two points which I consider critical flaws, whenever I feel like returning to the game, I find myself playing for only 3 or 4 days before taking a very long break out of boredom again. Two of the (arguably) most important aspects in MMOs are the social dependency of players on each other, and the long-term challenge, both of which have been lacking since the BigBang update.
I thought one cool thing about new maplestory was that it had a much more expansive lore and the soundtrack is sometimes pretty good. The game had a few backgrounds on only some things, such as previous rulers of perion and how the world was many years ago. Now, they have classes with their unique story and sometimes their own animations, which I find is cool. They also have the story of the black mage and content like black heaven which had a pretty cool story and had beautiful music(and a little sprinkle of feels and anger). Honestly, I don't find the new maplestory bad, but it isn't the greatest. Classes are a little too strong sometimes and pressing the same button gets boring. There are a few plot holes in the story as well(like how it was explained that the five[or six] heroes got their memories destroyed, even though only Aran got her/his memory demolished while each of the heroes only lost the memory of Shade/Eunwol and nothing else).
That moment when you come back to the game but then you realise your friends arent there with you anymore. You are just all alone and then you press ESC and hit "Quit Game" :v
+Lê Tuấn Việt when you bond so well with your friends on maplestory that you add each others on myspace and have a forum to ourselves just to post shit. back when guilds werent even out
Thanks!! Yesterday I rewatched your previous video about the old maplestory things and thought about coming back to maplestory. And now I see this video goes up. :]
In 2005 I was playing not to level up and make progress, I enjoyed from the songs and from spectacular places that are reminiscent of fantasy. In this days I remember the sad-happy tune of Rooney in a tree in Ellinia and the melody of SleepWood I listened to and actually fell asleep;)
I started playing this again after being gone for like...since elementary(22 now) and the game is still fun but damn is the leveling fast! Made an assassin and now he is a night lord @_@
I just came back to maple after watching your video XD. Really helped me out. Btw, don't you guys kind of miss the long travels in ships? I mean they made it harder to get from place to place but it made getting to destinations more rewarding. And it was also fun to chat, trade, and see people die to the barlog boss :D
Dive yay recruited another mapler ;) ! & yeah for sure haha, i remember i used to go to the fridge and grab snacks while waiting for my character to reach its destination xD
Yay!!! i'm so happy you released another video :D I love your vlogs. hehe. Also, didn't know thats why they changed the f4 crying face lol. I just change mine back to f4 anyways. :P
When I started playing again, I thought the F4 face was gone! Then I opened up the key settings and saw that it was moved. I immediately moved it back too. xD
I loved the Zakum prequest, it didn´t matter how funded your character was or how much NX you had. That jumpquest was equally hard and pure skill based. Nowdays most maps are only disigned for more afficient grinding and all what people care about is DPS. Ioved the long journeys of 100 floor towers or boatrides. Remember the fear of crossing the golem pit in henesys or the L forrest. Plus no more hidden streets :( It was gimmicky but fun.
*I was not aware of the character card thing. Thank you. *I like that the new classes are story-heavy & have their own separate storylines to follow. *I like the Monster Farm mini-game where the stats contribute to your character. *I don't like that the permanent items are random. It's like wasting money on EXP hair coupons. *Love the Star Power & scroll upgrades to equipment, but I detest the crafting system's dependency on items you can't make yourself. *Tot's Knowhow was great for my Demon, since I was abstaining from both crafting & market place, I got ALL of my weapons from him before my first usable weapon drop from a mob at level 108. *That owl thing for the auction house is nice...The free market is an ugly mess & that owl is the only way you can find anything. Seriously, I wish they'd do away with Marketplace & put in an Auction House where you can search for equipment by level & class. *I love that you can actually make a party of 1 & solo party quests. *Oh gawd....I wish I'd known about the Pantheon portals earlier. Would have saved me a LOT of time. Thanks. *Ah, I should actually try the Boss Teleport. I read somewhere that Hilla drops good high level Desperado weapons.
Great video! I'm an old mapler and recently rejoined... i pushed my evan from 120 - 160 and still didn;t know half the stuff you mentioned.... THANK YOU!
good looking, nice editting and quick information. usualy those videos would take like 15 minutes because people just dont get to the point :D but you did it very well. nice video but to your points : 10 levels in 20 minutes, teleporting literally everywhere you want, 1000 classes and now even the burning character :D. thats exactly what people are complaining about.. everything is way to easy now :(
+Asdfer411 thanks for the kind words! =D hahah yes, I try to keep it straight to the point or else I would get bored myself!! :P glad you enjoyed it ^___^
Amazing video good information and also you made me laugh i installed maple the other day after not playing it for years feels so weird you have gained another subscriber :D
If only I had this video when I went back to Maple a couple months ago haha I wouldn't have been nearly as confused. I just think maple is way too easy now and there are too many classes :(
I love the review you have made but I think what made the old Maple Story better than the current version is because of the simplicity it displayed. I missed the old days where it took at least 15 people to take on one Zakum lol
My journey through maple~ Coming back in March I can say that I've done very well for myself. My old impatient self quit because it took way too long to get to 2nd job, but now the real challenge comes in being unfunded at level 189. But it's been fun. I don't see the bad in being able to level up faster. It let me try out many more characters and all of their skills to see if I enjoyed them. Cycled through a priest, angelic buster, phantom, restarted my angelic buster, and now that level 189 is a xenon. If there's any advice I have to give, use link skills and work towards a character card deck with a theme. All resistance characters, all pirates, etc. They'll give you some much needed boosts. (Mercedes link skill is 10% bonus exp! try starting there)
I like how there's professions where you can craft pots, armor, etc especially since sins lost their drain skill -_- It's a way to get free stuff but it can be time consuming finding the ingredients.
+Simon Lee right? I couldn't remember and so i had to make a new acc... so pissed. I don't even remember which email i used for that. Haha because i had to create a new acc because the old one got hacked with the email i use for everything
Point #12! I was training at Aqua Rd (where the Freezers are at) and had killed many mini bosses when suddenly the 'WARNING' sign flashed. I got all confused and almost died. Thanks to this guide I finally know what's happening lolz
Ah that was a great video, sorry for the last comment on your other video. this one pretty much cover most important things even you taught me this new hair stuff LoL.. thanks anyway :>
question: is it really worth to play maple again? every time i log in i see the monster training ground empty!? where is everybody? i remember that a lot people used to say "CC plz" i missed those days!
Jago A i think it's fun to see the new changes, but after a couple weeks it might get boring since the community IS kind of dead ): i stopped playing after around a month tooo D: definitely a lot more fun if you grab a couple friends to start again tho =) !
Maplestory back in 2013 or so was like an ultimate P2W game. You forgot to mention Miracle cubing for crazy highass potentials. But nonetheless this is a great video! PS: You sound like Chinese-Canadian. I'm also Chinese Canadian as well! Which part of Canada do you live in?
Same here! I live in Toronto too! I think I just saw another video from your channel stating that you went to P-Mall and found your ex-Maple BF. I live in Scarborough too lol. :) OMG nice! Yeah I make RS videos nowadays. I like RS better than MS mainly because you don't really need a lot of MTX I used to Maple too and I was like level 201 until I got hacked :( I had so many cubed stuff I spent. Idk why I did that but it was hard to compete against most pro maplers without the cubes. I don't know about Maplestory these days but is it easy to get good damage without spending NX?
Stumbled here on accident at 4 am, but totally worth! Great vlog :) Also, is it worth to move back into windia? I restarted last week and most recently, (2 years ago) I played in Bellocon. :/
Somebody please help! I just logged in to maplestory and my character names are all numbers. I'd at least like to know how to get the name back for my main character. This should also be helpful for other people revisiting.
i played since 05 on and off and now im back full time love this game started when i was 15 years old and now im 25 almost 26 lol proud paladin ! 160 my main
Been back for a few days and the social aspect seems to have diminished, I've made one friend and seen maybe 30 players (excluding FM) but perhaps it's just Windia being low pop
I played when I was 9 yeArs old and I'm 14 now. I'm pretty sure I'll start playing maplestory 2, but maplestory definitely made me define what rpg means.
Its been so long that I've played maple story(2011 was my last time). Sadly my trustee computer broke down on me and without me knowing any better i get a Macbook. One of the saddest things ever, its been 4 years and I still can't play Maplestory D:
yeah i recently went back to maple right before the 10th anni event and its still not the same but still enjoyable for me. what do you think about MS2?
It's so cool to see you describe so many changes that I haven't noticed. I think you play in windia and I do too. What's your ign? I'd love to add you and help you out :)
Maplestory was only fun because of the fact it was such a grind with friends, ks'ing for training maps etc was the whole reason why it was so addictive...
Thank you!! Very helpful video, but there are still a lot of new stuff that I don't understand ): if I knew what was going on I would probably go back to it (the last time I played was almost two years ago)
Awesome vlog! There has been some really great changes that have me playing again, however there still seems to be many issues and the game is still *very* P2W.
Maplestory will never be as fun for me personally as it use to, it use to be much more social Ann's easier to make friends, now it's all about grinding. Which I guess is cool for some people just I miss the old days so much. But I might check it out again and start all over into Scania, I quit like 4 years ago cause the server I was on died so thanks for reminding me of this game. It's sad to think of cause this game was like my childhood lmfao, save up money and buy nx is what me and all my friends did so we could buy some good stuff from trade shop lel.
I come back at 2014 after Thai server has closed in 2012. Now, I play NA server even my country can't play directly. I use VPN and kindly to invite more people which has same problem with me but got banned from official page lolz. Now I have a dozen of 4th class character (Excluded 0) at 4th first server from above. I feel rejuvenated.
Melinda i absolutely love your vids there interresting and funny but ur not doing a lot a vids about MS alot so please do more vids!?!?!Also have a nice day:)
Hey! do you still play? After watching your maplestory videos ... i want to play again.. BUT i decided to join a Private Server which is really like GMS ... the server is called Ellinia
Hey i just downloaded maple 2 days ago after so much years and i would love to play it again but when i select the world ( SO MANY:O ) after i select it my screen turns black and then my homescreen pops out and it just shuts itself down each time i connect to the server after selecting a sever. Any tips pls . Love your vid's (sorry for this huge comment )
hey guys i have maple on steam and every time i try to open it i get the loading bar the i see the nexon security thing in the corner of the screen, the screen goes black and then i get an error saying that the program was terminated unexpectedly. it's called a runtime error and i cant find a fix that works. any ideas?
i went from unfunded to 48% int gear on my Evan, plus i got Dark Angelic Blessing Ring that has an effect that gives out 10 wa/ma. Soloed Regular Zak and Horn Tail like it was nothing. All my years of playing maple, i finally achieve in something that i could never do back in the old maple. New challenge for players that say new maple too easy. Fight Chaos Zak, Chaos Horntail at level 160 unfunded or Root Abyss bosses. Also hard Hilla gives out free permanent pet from drop, for regular its super duper rare. Oh yeah the world alliance is almost upon us. Now most servers will be connected to each other and maple will be crowded again! Fm isn't as low as it was a few months ago. I see people spamming the @@@@ thing again. So that's pretty good.
Yeah, when you guys log in. You'll see alot of people in henesys now just like the good ol days due to the world alliance thing. You can also play with your friends from different servers now. I made friends with people from Nova and i'm from Bellocan plus YMCK ( Yellonde, Mardia, Chaos, Kradia) will become part of BelloNova. :D
I haven't been on in over 4-5 years .I thought about getting back on my 136 evan but get disinterested becuse I heard Khaini is A ghost town & im 30 now I fill thats kind old to be playing stiil Which I thought when I was playing @ 25. lol.
I think Nexon made a lot of improvements. However the are too many classes they should'v kept it just the original explorers and perhaps also Cygnus Knights for making a Ultimate Explorer. In addition sadly the game now is all about damage and it become a PAY TO WIN system which really sucks for some people. You have to pay hundreds of dollars to be funded and strong now in the game.
I know, I don't understand why Nexon would decide to remove the MTS, as it provided incentive for players to spend more money on NX to buy stuff from other players. Yeah sure, hackers were exploiting it, but it wasn't so bad that it made the game virtually unplayable, in fact, I thought it actually boosted the economy of MS despite the over-inflations at times.
What honestly in my opinion led to the demise of Maplestory, was the fact that they failed to address the many hackers who would always be able to run freely. I remember when all they'd do to fix the issue was do a bunch of a "rollbacks", as if resetting the items would prevent hackers from doing it again.
Heyitzj0sh I wasn't around when the removed MTS but as a hardcore merchant for years, I can completely understand why. There was massive amounts of item duplication going on and MTS probably had something to do with it. You literally couldn't merchant at all since hackers just duplicated everything, especially with GM scrolls (in 2012 i believe) so eh...
from 2006 to this day, my archer is still lvl 26 ! D:
+Ian Lagman
i feel u, mane back in 2006 i think i was struggling to get to 30 LOL.
well, until i got me an AC. LOL!
Oh wow I never thought of them moving F4 over to F5 because people would accidently close their game that way. I always get annoyed whenever I train a new character because I always have to change it back. (f4)
me too x-x
I find most of the design changes which have taken place over the years to be for the better (most notably - the introduction of many new classes, scrolling system overhaul and even crafting), except for two, which are probably the most critical:
1. There social aspect of the game is nowhere near what it used to be, ever since transportation from town to town has become instant, and equipment has become extremely common. Players have become far less dependent on each other, and it's enough to take a quick glimpse at the amount of players in the Free Market entrance in order to personally internalize it.
2. It is now possible to hit level 160 within a few days of training, and except for bosses that require massive funding, there is almost no content for levels 170 to 250. Back when it took a month to hit level 40, there was technically tons of content to experience over the course of a few months, whereas now you hit 170 before you've experienced even 25% of the game's content, and at that point, the other 75% is too low-level for you to care about. If you ask today's players what they can tell you about towns like Korean Folk Town, Omega Sector, or even Orbis, a lot of them won't be able to tell you much about those. Hunting for that level 40 magician hat used to be very exciting (at least to me), yet now you hit level 50 before you even realize that you've received a free level-40 equipment box from the game when you've hit level 40 two minutes ago.
As a result of these two points which I consider critical flaws, whenever I feel like returning to the game, I find myself playing for only 3 or 4 days before taking a very long break out of boredom again. Two of the (arguably) most important aspects in MMOs are the social dependency of players on each other, and the long-term challenge, both of which have been lacking since the BigBang update.

Honestly, I don't find the new maplestory bad, but it isn't the greatest. Classes are a little too strong sometimes and pressing the same button gets boring. There are a few plot holes in the story as well(like how it was explained that the five[or six] heroes got their memories destroyed, even though only Aran got her/his memory demolished while each of the heroes only lost the memory of Shade/Eunwol and nothing else).
That moment when you come back to the game but then you realise your friends arent there with you anymore. You are just all alone and then you press ESC and hit "Quit Game" :v

Yesterday I rewatched your previous video about the old maplestory things and thought about coming back to maplestory.
And now I see this video goes up. :]
***** Haha no problem =D!! Hope you got a lot out of it :)!
In 2005 I was playing not to level up and make progress, I enjoyed from the songs and from spectacular places that are reminiscent of fantasy. In this days I remember the sad-happy tune of Rooney in a tree in Ellinia and the melody of SleepWood I listened to and actually fell asleep;)
I remember someone telling me to jump and press F4 and it crashed my game
Me too! Someone in henesys had one of those text boxes above saying "Alt+F4=mesos" and I fell for it.
I started playing this again after being gone for like...since elementary(22 now) and the game is still fun but damn is the leveling fast! Made an assassin and now he is a night lord @_@
BloodyCrazy sameeeee
I just came back to maple after watching your video XD. Really helped me out. Btw, don't you guys kind of miss the long travels in ships? I mean they made it harder to get from place to place but it made getting to destinations more rewarding. And it was also fun to chat, trade, and see people die to the barlog boss :D

***** hahah thanks chris!! =D & hahah me too ;P
It's about generation from time to time. I ever experience all of these in the old day. Never forget and it always been in my heart.
When I started playing again, I thought the F4 face was gone! Then I opened up the key settings and saw that it was moved. I immediately moved it back too. xD

I don't know if you want to get rid of the ears, but if you do, use Carta's pearl and it'll give you normal ears. :) Awesome to see you enjoy new MS!
Amazing video good information and also you made me laugh i installed maple the other day after not playing it for years feels so weird you have gained another subscriber :D

Very informative! Maplestory has changed a lot hasn't it haha
its cool, great memories, it took forever to level up, but waiting to try maple story 2
Thanks for your video, it's extremely informative and helpful, especially with the Pantheon portal! :)
Very good video, im just thinking about play Maple again after 6 or 7 years, Your clip fit me well, thank you. Nice and simple :)

+Jago A I used to hate it so much when someone would tell me to CC XD How ironic that i actually miss it now
Aha can't believe youre going to play again. it is very nostalgic though i have to admit.
the most bs change is party quests i found myself just playing them over and over being bored to tears
I noticed that your hairstyle is the same as your favourite one in Ms 💖^_^
+Angel remot haha yeah!! =D merry christmas btw =) !
Merry Christmas to you too :,). Also I love your Maplestory vids *-*

Somebody please help! I just logged in to maplestory and my character names are all numbers. I'd at least like to know how to get the name back for my main character. This should also be helpful for other people revisiting.
Got me back into MS xD. Thanks so much
i played since 05 on and off and now im back full time love this game started when i was 15 years old and now im 25 almost 26 lol proud paladin ! 160 my main
Been back for a few days and the social aspect seems to have diminished, I've made one friend and seen maybe 30 players (excluding FM) but perhaps it's just Windia being low pop
Maple made us who we are today
Yotipo haha definitely played a part in our childhood ;) !
I played when I was 9 yeArs old and I'm 14 now. I'm pretty sure I'll start playing maplestory 2, but maplestory definitely made me define what rpg means.
Justin Luong Same but I'm 17 now.
i hope you decide to stay and play maple again love the vlog video btw :)
Damine Pagan thanks damine! =)
Its been so long that I've played maple story(2011 was my last time). Sadly my trustee computer broke down on me and without me knowing any better i get a Macbook. One of the saddest things ever, its been 4 years and I still can't play Maplestory D:
yeah i recently went back to maple right before the 10th anni event and its still not the same but still enjoyable for me. what do you think about MS2?
Maplestory is the most nostalgic game ever
It's so cool to see you describe so many changes that I haven't noticed. I think you play in windia and I do too. What's your ign? I'd love to add you and help you out :)
Seus videos sobre MapleStory são ótimos, eles me lembram dos bons tempos
Wow you really got a whole lot informed about it...
oooh, too bad you weren't there when they released the permanent hyper rock. I got like 3 of those because NX was class locked lol.
Kaggie101 :O LOL
I came back to MS but now it is hard to make a team and play together.
I miss baby MS.
Maplestory was only fun because of the fact it was such a grind with friends, ks'ing for training maps etc was the whole reason why it was so addictive...
Thank you!! Very helpful video, but there are still a lot of new stuff that I don't understand ): if I knew what was going on I would probably go back to it (the last time I played was almost two years ago)
OrpazLalala haha no problem :) and yeah there's a lot to adapt to D:
dood, where were ya! I heard KMS is going to release a new class, did you know there's MapleStory 2? (Beta testing stage only for KMS users)
Awesome vlog! There has been some really great changes that have me playing again, however there still seems to be many issues and the game is still *very* P2W.
Awesome video! May I know what is the background sountrack you used? It sounds really soothing!
magiclawer thanks! :) it's called evergreen hills .. not sure who the artist is though LOL o_o"
Melinda Tse Thanks Melinda!
Maplestory will never be as fun for me personally as it use to, it use to be much more social Ann's easier to make friends, now it's all about grinding. Which I guess is cool for some people just I miss the old days so much. But I might check it out again and start all over into Scania, I quit like 4 years ago cause the server I was on died so thanks for reminding me of this game. It's sad to think of cause this game was like my childhood lmfao, save up money and buy nx is what me and all my friends did so we could buy some good stuff from trade shop lel.
@melinda, love the vlog! if you still play,join Renegades and party with me sometime!
Make more maple story vlogs play! They are so helpful )):
Did you talk about the one that the damage is way higher then the past ?
I come back at 2014 after Thai server has closed in 2012. Now, I play NA server even my country can't play directly. I use VPN and kindly to invite more people which has same problem with me but got banned from official page lolz. Now I have a dozen of 4th class character (Excluded 0) at 4th first server from above. I feel rejuvenated.
do they still have those raids where drakes and mushmoms just storm perion?
Melinda i absolutely love your vids there interresting and funny but ur not doing a lot a vids about MS alot so please do more vids!?!?!Also have a nice day:)
Hey! do you still play?
After watching your maplestory videos ... i want to play again.. BUT i decided to join a Private Server which is really like GMS ... the server is called Ellinia
Check out the soul enchant for weapons Im still confused on what the hell it is XD
Rocksolid178 Lol you can just say that it's a thing that'll allow your weapons to use boss attacks from the shards that drop from bosses
lmao... should I come back? Or is it heavily pay2win in terms of damage? I have like no good items.. level 123 bandit from old ms
Hey i just downloaded maple 2 days ago after so much years and i would love to play it again but when i select the world ( SO MANY:O ) after i select it my screen turns black and then my homescreen pops out and it just shuts itself down each time i connect to the server after selecting a sever. Any tips pls . Love your vid's (sorry for this huge comment )
hey guys i have maple on steam and every time i try to open it i get the loading bar the i see the nexon security thing in the corner of the screen, the screen goes black and then i get an error saying that the program was terminated unexpectedly. it's called a runtime error and i cant find a fix that works. any ideas?
May I add you as my buddylist? If you're in Scania. Would be fun ^^
I just got back to playing Maplestory after a couple of years and when I grind I still tell people to 'cc pls' lol
JealousyAndGreed haha yeh but they usually just come and go lol
Thank you very much, I was thinking about coming back but, naaaaah xD
Hey you forgotten about the secondary keyboard settings :)
i went from unfunded to 48% int gear on my Evan, plus i got Dark Angelic Blessing Ring that has an effect that gives out 10 wa/ma. Soloed Regular Zak and Horn Tail like it was nothing. All my years of playing maple, i finally achieve in something that i could never do back in the old maple. New challenge for players that say new maple too easy. Fight Chaos Zak, Chaos Horntail at level 160 unfunded or Root Abyss bosses. Also hard Hilla gives out free permanent pet from drop, for regular its super duper rare. Oh yeah the world alliance is almost upon us. Now most servers will be connected to each other and maple will be crowded again! Fm isn't as low as it was a few months ago. I see people spamming the @@@@ thing again. So that's pretty good.
Yeah, when you guys log in. You'll see alot of people in henesys now just like the good ol days due to the world alliance thing. You can also play with your friends from different servers now. I made friends with people from Nova and i'm from Bellocan plus YMCK ( Yellonde, Mardia, Chaos, Kradia) will become part of BelloNova. :D
Gollux and Commerci is best way to make money too! I just killed Gollux and it feels pretty good beating it on normal and easy :D
steven310250 The pet isn't permanent, but you can buy water of life from the reward shop to revive it, so it's "basically" permanent.
oh i thought it was.
Omg just the vid i was looking for, thank u thank u thank y
Jel0XD no problem!! glad it helped you =D
omg shes so cute
What buttons do you have to click to pick a boss?
Things were fun and satisfying BECAUSE it was hard or took a while lol.
love your videos !!! subscribed *_*
+Danny Boy thank you Danny =D!!
hey are you a singaporean...
faster way to train is the PMD mini dungeon is the best train but no meso farming
This makes me want to start back playing Maple Story ._.
What happens to Nexon surveys I can't find them?
its better to grind to 200 from lvl 1 since its alot easier now for my option since pq takes time...
I haven't been on in over 4-5 years .I thought about getting back on my 136 evan but get disinterested becuse I heard Khaini is A ghost town & im 30 now I fill thats kind old to be playing stiil Which I thought when I was playing @ 25. lol.
Mapleroyals ^^ Unrelated, but have you heard of Maple Kombat? :D
Hahah yes, I watched that series growing up as a kid (: I know Dray is working on MK 9 & 10 and it's expected to be released next May 2017 xD
Melinda Tse Awesome :D F2
I miss old maplestory to much
I think Nexon made a lot of improvements. However the are too many classes they should'v kept it just the original explorers and perhaps also Cygnus Knights for making a Ultimate Explorer. In addition sadly the game now is all about damage and it become a PAY TO WIN system which really sucks for some people. You have to pay hundreds of dollars to be funded and strong now in the game.
THATS WHY ITS NOT IN F4 LOL I REMEMBER GETTING DC'D FROM THAT LOL xD
sorry for caps I felt it was necessary
+Anon(Enclosed)N LOLL hahah, hopefully you didn't DC during something important XD
yeah I am downloading the game right now I have not played over about two years
You forgot to mention in the previous vlog that they took away the trade system /:
Heyitzj0sh You mean MTS? o v o woah that's been gone for a long timeee
Heyitzj0sh Ahh MTS was godly; never had to buy NX =). Too bad hackers ruined it.
I know, I don't understand why Nexon would decide to remove the MTS, as it provided incentive for players to spend more money on NX to buy stuff from other players. Yeah sure, hackers were exploiting it, but it wasn't so bad that it made the game virtually unplayable, in fact, I thought it actually boosted the economy of MS despite the over-inflations at times.
What honestly in my opinion led to the demise of Maplestory, was the fact that they failed to address the many hackers who would always be able to run freely. I remember when all they'd do to fix the issue was do a bunch of a "rollbacks", as if resetting the items would prevent hackers from doing it again.
Heyitzj0sh
I wasn't around when the removed MTS but as a hardcore merchant for years, I can completely understand why. There was massive amounts of item duplication going on and MTS probably had something to do with it. You literally couldn't merchant at all since hackers just duplicated everything, especially with GM scrolls (in 2012 i believe) so eh...
You forgot about the slime tree in Ellinia on your first vlog (;
Ej Rasing hahahah i know! that's why i added it in this one ;D
Melinda Tse I see what you did there! Very subtle. Are you a fellow Windian?
Ej Rasing ahah I used to play in Scania back in '06 but now I started in Windia!
Melinda Tse I am a native Windian, but I have not played since last year. I might make a return. ;D
So far the thing that most disappoints me is the lack of participation in the FM :(
Are you gonna play Maplestory 2?
***** ahha i will definitely try it out :D
Meh, i went to try MapleRoyals and it's pretty fun, It's a server based on oldschool MapleStory, quite nostalgic.
U make me want to play maple again xd
