Just wanted to say I appreciate all the support this video has gotten over the years. Not sure why but RUclips has been randomly promoting this video for the past 2 months or so as RUclips likes to do lol. Cheers to all the amazing times and memories we all have of this game, and shout outs to any one who still fu**s with this game. ✊
@@ferarry13 I've been searching for a way to play the classic version. How do I find these private servers? Oh it would be a dream to play again. Can you help show me how?
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
+Jake Thompson I remember how I always tested my luck and went to the bottom of the ship just to catch a glance of the Rogs because I never really looked at them before and I would always freak out and die XDD
- the apple suit from the beginning. - the original 4 jobs with no 4th job (bowman, thief, warrior and magician) -kerning city pq till lv 30 for 2nd job advancement -when you got a bad haircut and had to buy nx to change it -when you struggle doing jump quest -taking the ship between victoria island, orbis and ludi. and sometimes get killed by crimson barlogs. -reachling lv 70 is a accomplishment -everyone be scrolling glove for attack! -steely and illbis were the shit - people playing drop game -Hennessy hunting ground was the spot - people be hunting mushmom , zombie mushmom and blue mushmom for illbis -when guild pq was a thing -when people said "gratz" everytime you lv up -dexless sin was a thing - anyone still remember "track" when we do pq? -when getting into pq was really hard, you need to be good at clicking to get in. - ludi pq was packed, same goes for orbis pq. -when you see someone with zhelm, it means they're godly -the classic maps in maplestory (maple island, victoria island, ludi, orbis, aqua road, korean folk town, and omega sector, and mushroom shrine. -amoria pq for onyx apple. - when everyone love maple weapons back then. -when tiger and fangblade were still playing. -bera, scania and windia.
+Bao Nguyen OH MAN the JUMP QUEST HAHAHAHAHA.... Me and all my Cousin and my Niece we play and they would get me to do the Jump quest, I was actually Good at it. Had a lot of patience... Dude is CrimSon Barlog still around in Reboot??
+Bao Nguyen THE NOSTALGIA TIGER, NINJAGARU, GODBANDIT, KIEF (i think that was his name i forgot he was a bandit) all 100+ back before 3rd job was even around.
yo when he said making friends...that hit me hard!! that was literally my grade school days going online to play ms and just meeting so many ppl and getting helped!
I miss the difficulty of the game. But mostly, I miss the friendships that would be built. There's no happiness in soloing Zakum or going out of your way to beat a boss like the Headless Horseman. It's either too easy now or too pointless. I wasn't around for most of the early maple because I had no sense of patience and gave up at the slightest bit of challenge. Now I wish Maple gave us some incentive to explore, discover, and conquer. There's so many areas and bosses people completely gloss over because it's so utterly useless to farm there compared to somewhere else. I just really miss the sense of adventure I had playing Maplestory.
I can be very impatient but I loved getting lost in time playing the old Maple. I'd literally spend weeks just getting to lvl 30 but those weeks were by no means a waste of my life since I had so much fun with it. The sense of exploration, adventure, and discovery were what rly made this game worthwhile and made me lots of good memories. Now I can probably lvl up to 4th job in a week, but it would feel like a waste of my life since this game feels so incredibly bleak now. They rly sucked the soul out of this game.
The good ol' days of Kradia, I'll forever be a Kradian when I started back in 08, I haven't played in nearly 6 years now and I'll always treasure the time spent in game and the amazing people I met playing.
Man, I remember when people made islanders who stayed on maple island and people who stayed beginners (A friend of mine stayed till level 50). People use to invent their own classes too and it was pretty interesting. Also, about the pqs, I think the most enjoyment was entering PQs because god, they were PACKED. Speaking of PQs, Araint PQ was the most hectic and fun PQ to enjoy, plus you get a sweet chair. And probably the one thing I miss the most was HENESYS HUNTING GROUND. It was awesome seeing all the level ranges get together in the area whether to make friends, level, and KS. I still have a photo of my group of friends that gave me a reason to keep playing, and boy, when maplestory really was "it's your story".
+Daegoon Hahaha how could I forget about the islanders! Oh man idk how those people did it xD I remember there being a level 100 islander at one point or something close to it at least... Crazy stuff! Ariant/Pyramid PQ was dope as fk.. I really liked both variations we've had of it in the past. I also have some very fond memories of HHG1 as well... Love thinking about it from time to time. GG :(
+Daegoon OMG dude i remember how me and my one friend almost worshipped this guy in windia who was a lvl 200 beginner and we all helped him get there with our bishops XD
I also miss making friends. You used to be able to start long conversations with almost anybody and train along the way. Now its just grind grind grind and nobody takes the time to appreciate friendships like in the good old days. Before Big Bang, i remember id go to all the mainstream training spots, party up and just hang out with peeps
Bravo Bravo! One of the best maple videos I've ever seen. While I've not played since 2009 you speak from the heart of what has been missing from MMO gaming since the last, like, 6 years or even more.
I started at the beta version. Shout out to pan lids! It was funny how we used to think that fame had increased our chances of getting a pan lid, so some people bought a tremendous amount of fame.
This just randomly popped up in my recommendation, and thank you for that! I played MS right from beta I believe. My very first MMORPG ever. SOOOO much memories come back after watching this video. Back then it took like 2 weeks to get to lvl 30 for 1st job change? The very first party quest at Kerning City, where people used to copy every single IGN that were queuing up for PQ. Then there were this command you can input in chat to TRACK where that player is. With the names copied, we can find who got into the PQ map and track their progress, once they were at the final stage, we would spam click NPC hoping to get in PQ with my party. Sounds annoying, but it was actually really fun. We all use the time waiting to get in PQ to socialize, and make real friends. Also anyone remember Pan Lid? The best shield for mages back in the days for a very long time. It was dropped by green mushroom if i remember correctly, but it was extremely rare, making pan lid one of the most expensive items in game at that time (if not the most expensive). My friend got 3 btw...from drops...and gave me one for free..so no complain xD I think all lvl 30+ equips were only available from drops, like zombie mushrooms. I remember farming the lvl 30+ mage hat and i was so happy when i got it. AHHH Great Times!!!
Most of this was just gameplay experiences though. I'll list what I miss most about the Old Maplestory. 1) The social aspect. People were always online and it was so easy to make friends and even online best friends on the game. People would hang out all over Henesys and it was not hard to find something random to do with somebody 2) Even though it did waste a lot of time, the Orbis Ellinia ships. Looking back on it now, the ship going between Orbis, Ellinia, and Ludi just made the game that much more fun in a social aspect. People would play games talk to each other and more on the ship, and next thing you know, you completely would forget what you're doing when you get to Orbis because you made a new friend and want to do something with him/her 3) How much fun it was being a noob. This is one of the few games where the community itself made it fun to actually be a noob. Even though the game was "grindy", you weren't forced to level to have fun 4) Not afraid to admit it, but since I was a lot younger back then, it was so much damn fun hitting on the opposite gender in that game. 5) Populated Low Level Party Quests. The Party Quests were so much freakin fun. Team up with 3 other guys and you could do a party quest that was actually pretty fun. My personal favorite party quest was Monster Carnival and Kerning PQ. Even though you had to autoclick to get in the PQ, it was kind of fun and nostalgic as I look back at it. 6) Best Background Music ever. The background Music was the best at it's time because it was just downright orgasmic. It was probably the only game that I'd actually turn the volume up for because the BGM was just on point. 7) The players. Maplestory had a super healthy player base. Guild like UndiePatrol were awesome back then and Dray86 was an awesome youtuber for the game. Curryishott, Suuushi, Tiger etc. God those were some good fucking times. If there was one game I would go back in time just to play over again. It would have to be Maplestory with Runescape as a close 2nd.
Subscribed. You made me actually teared out thinking about all the good days of Maple.. Though I didn't join until late 2009, Knights of Cygnus were my very first maple character class, next comes Aran. It's been nearly 7 years now, I miss the days where you can kpq and make friends at lower levels 21 - 30.. theres so much more I can say but you know how it feels.
In 2018 and experiencing this new MMO styles. 8:22 It's the feel of "we're all on the same boat/struggle" that's gone. There is no struggle, and part of what made us make comrades and topics was the struggle. Now the struggle is gear and RNG gear, and to talk about materialistic stuff makes us all toxic and envious of what we had no luck that it drives us apart. Specially when said RNG gear is rendered useless in a month and we start again, forcing us to not bother about bonds due to the pace.
You know you were the real OG maple player when you started on mapleglobal beta on the tespia server, with the jewel encrusted ornament as the pointer and a time when even 3rd job and el nath wasn't available yet.
The thing i miss the most would be the fact that people were actually friendly also now though in Windia especiallly everyone is anti social and if you go on their map while they train they basically say "f*** off" or "you know there are other CCs?" i remember how before BB people welcomed others and decided to party it's kind of sad really you have to get lucky to find nice people sometimes in windia..lol
+Justin Lampert idk about other servers since i just came back to the game after 500 years, but the Reboot servers aint bad, worst thing you might get is others coming in and mobbing the shit outta your kills because their class is better at it. But people always keep to one side of the map while im at the other or decide to party me.
***** definitely there are plenty of guilds and whatnot to join, the one i'm in called Smile is full of friendly people. It might be harder than before but it's definitely possible.
the thing i miss the most is the bosses, back in the day soloing zakum made you seem like a god, i remember dieing while trying to solo zakum for mastery books, the old days were fun
The worst thing about Maple nowadays is how you can go from 1 to about 150 over a 2x weekend with little effort. It's all just a range contest nowadays man..
+Yuuva what do u mean by range contest? and r u serious about getting to 150 like that? it took me a year to get to lvl 70.... and we didnt even have 3rd job back than lol
Man... this brings back the feels haha, I started playing back in beta... The days when finding a panlid from green mushies at HH used to sell for 200-300k and exploring further into sleepywood when parties of level 40-50s used to try and fight tauro macies to get to jr balrog and exploring el nath through the werewolves etc to get to coolie zombies. Shame they don't bring back an old server like that, would be good fun... The hype around the cash shop when they first released it as well was great, before cubes etc came around and it was all about the cosmetics rather than the damage. Used to take 2-3 full parties to kill zakum to get zakum helmets for the guilds and stuff. Also perion channel one before the free market used to be where so many people sold their stuff, makes me feel old!
+orishas :) All of that stuff sounds familiar to me haha so don't worry buddy, we can be old together! The only thing I wasn't around for that you mentioned was the pre Cash Shop release (I think, I don't remember), and the Perion Ch 1 being the FM haha. Thanks for sharing though man, appreciate it :)
the old 4-4 stat dice rolls, obtaining the green relaxer from pio after collecting screws and wooden planks from those boxes, getting a headband or skullcap at the end of mai's training quests and nerdgasming when you got a red headband since it had like +5 accuracy compared to the other headbands, getting stuck in sleepywood/omega sector and pretty much crying about it, henesys hunting ground where you would find the occasional bishop showing off their genesis skill, walking from henesys to sleepywood and hoping not to fall into the pit of golems, overall dex and glove attack were always in demand, onyx apples and gelt chocolates were cool, every dexless assassin looked identical with the sauna robes, kandayos, and bamboo hats, having track or autoclick for kpq was a must, jumping to that 3rd sewer took skill, trading wins in monster carnival was the fastest way from 30-50, always had the people fighting over which box to stand on in the final stage of lpq, doing lmpq and not having to worry about spending mesos on pots since hp and mp were the only reward basically, nlc quests for the deputy star/blue chair, the dreaded third job advancement quests where the tower scrolls were essential unless you wanted to walk up and down the tower 10 times. and who could forget those boat rides and all the old friends we made? the list goes on. it's somewhat depressing to know that we will never encounter those old friends again, but at least we have these great memories to re-live. 2005-2010 were great years, and although the game is complete trash now in my opinion, i will always remember having a fun childhood while playing maplestory.
The fact you said "jumping to the third sewer took skill" just brought back a rush of memories. That shows me how dedicated you were to the game at the time. Fuck man it's crazy....
Missed the Christmas events back then. It was back when maple was still only 4 jobs. Even pirate didn't exist yet. When Christmas came me and my friends would contest who can get that Ice chair first. It was a blast. It was a breath of fresh air from all that grinding. Now it's hard to find friends in Maple. My older friends don't log on anymore. I remember being so poor back then i thought i could buy something in FM with 20k. I walked in and blew up. There were intense lag in Ch 1 FM that if you can even get in you can barely move or see yourself. People sat in almost every map talking to each other. There were card and board game setups almost like gambling. Finally the one thing every noob will remember back in the day. When you're out exploring and earned enough mesos to take the ferry to Orbis and dies to the Crimson Balrog. This is the one thing any old mapler can't forget.
SpookyBee I'm stuck in orbis because I used up all mesos to buy a ticket back to Victoria but dies to balrog :( and yes! that's my first ever Christmas event in Maple and I remember selling the rascal snowflakes to others because I just started the game for a month and am poor
I remember I can't get out of Ariant because I didn't know which NPC to talk to lol. I actually sold all my equips to get enough to leave Ariant. Felt like a noob back then but now I miss being a maple noob.
I had a similar experience at Ariant. Couldn't get out of the town lol. A high lvl Mapler helped me out. All I can remember was that she looked like a Heneh0e.
Started playing Maple again little while ago and you mentioning HonorGuards really brought back great memories. I joined the HonorGuards in Broa shortly after it was created and became friends with the leader (can't remember his IGN, but I still remember his IRL name and that he was from Sweden). I remember doing a lot of quests, grinding and just chatting with the guild members and they even helped me get back on my feet after I got hacked. I wish I could go back to those days :(
Things I remember 1: CC1, CC2 etc on the Kerning PQ 2: The month or so time just to get to 2nd job. 3: First time in the boat to Orbis, getting KOed by CBalrog, did not know about the cabin. 4: Getting killed on Kerning PQ channel 1 asking for Party once someone decided to release a summoning sack 5: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ to pad my speech 6: Seeing 1k damage and being surprised. 7: Asking a guild leader, near lvl 200 to get me a Targa/Scarlion hat. 8: Training at hidden maps 9: Making friends and adventuring with them. Fun times.....
I remember the hackers so hard. I remember when I was in Henesys to get some potions, but suddenly there was just giant slimes everywhere! And I think the last time I ever saw an intense crazy hack was during the Big Bang update. Somebody summoned Horntail right on the map of Henesys it was crazy and right before people started to quit was when I saw Pink Beans everywhere and it lagged the server and I got kicked out xD
Man this is nostalgic af... What I miss the most: I started playing when a majority of players were like lvl 30 and being lvl 70 was godly lol 1. pig beach and slime tree- all the noobs trained there 2. Kerning PQ - I remember everyone trying to click and get in. I was constantly tracking different IGNs that would disappear so I can click as soon they got out. 3. I honestly miss my group of friends the most even though I haven't talked to them in many years :( just people to train with and boss with made it worth it to stay on for hours.
I remember back when I first played maplestory right after evan's release. When I first got into the game as Evan I had no clue what going on but I met many people that helped me along the way. After Aran's release, I created an aran character and managed to reach lvl 55 in a week but then right after that I got busy with school and stuff then totally forgot about maplestory. Then just 2 weeks ago I decided to come back. When I return I realise it took me only bout a day to get my character to lvl 100. When I compare the old and new maple, the biggest change is probably the difficulty and maybe the community. I wish I had gotten more into maple back then. It was a lot more fun
Last played maple on version 55.0 and joined during 1st anniversary. Returning to the game on version 175.1. I made a new character and got to triple digits. Never ever in my years of old maple story.
I started Maplestory back before the Big Bang update, and some of these I don't really agree with, but everyone has their own list. Here's my view/list of post and pre big bang likes and dislikes. 1) Old mushroom kingdom and Kerning Square. They were the bomb, and now they're revamped (kerning is gone). I miss the medal, the gloves, etc. I still hold on to the chars. who have them out of nostalgia. 2) I loved the easier leveling, but I wish that they would tone it back a bit. Pre-big bang, my highest characters were level 50-ish. Now, I can actually use 4th job skills and stuff. 3) The old maple island was fucking amazing. Remember Roger's Apple? Mai's Training? Those were the days. 4) I'm kinda on the fence about how Maple has super-flashy classes like Hayato. For me, they're fine, but for people with running Maple on Potato OS, it's annoying and laggy, even with graphics turned down. 5)People don't do secondary-stat less characters anymore? I still do that. Am I stupid? 6) The two things I don't remember are the NTS and Rolling for stats, but I was a bit of a latecomer in the Maple scene. 7) Honestly, I feel like maplestory has too many classes. Is it just me, or do I love making the explorers/cygnus knights because they branch out in so many diverse ways. 8) The game feels so lonely now. People only do RNJ, all the other PQs feel left out. A few still do LPQ, but it's rare. 9) I fucking love the Scarlion hat. FUCKING. LOVE. THE. SMILE. All in all, I feel like Maple has lost its charm, but maybe that's just us growing up. I started when I was 8 or so (Screw the E 10 and up!) and now I'm a teenager. But I feel like if all the changes were reverted, the charm wouldn't come back. The new maple is still good, and worth playing.
+ItsMeMinecraftJr Thanks for the detailed comment MinecraftJr! Hope you don't mind that I reply to everything individually just to share what I feel about how you feel! Haha 1) I hated the old mushroom kingdom haha, it felt sooo boring to me but I know many many people who really liked it so it was definitely a good addition to the game. Kerning square was pretty dope I agree. 2) I know most people would agree with your 2) point, including myself. Back then it was awesome to have that challenge as a kid... But i'm an adult now and I just don't have that kind of time needed to reach level 120+ in the old maple's conditions/exp curve... So I'm glad leveling is the way it is currently, but like you said it can definitely be toned back a bit. 3) I've never been a fan of the first 10 levels of the game, I think it's better now to be honest because it gets you into the real world quicker which is where the real fun begins. 4) When it comes to flashy classes, I don't mind at all. MapleStory is becoming less and less easy for PC's to run but that's bound to happen as time goes on so I see nothing wrong here :P 5) What I mean is, there is no secondary stat-less or not characters anymore, because secondary stats don't aren't required for anything anymore (despite very few equips like dragon khanjars). This means that everyone is Secondary Stat-less! xD 7) I feel they do have an extremely large number of classes but the way I see it is... The more the merrier! Gives us more options and a better likelihood of actually finding a class that we love and have no problem maining for an extended period of time. Character creation has slowed down severely the past while which is understandable since the game already has enough options, and in turn I believe they're using that extra effort now to help better the game which is nice. 8) Yea very true. However this is something Nexon dev's are looking into at the moment and we might be seeing a lot of changes on PQ's in the near future! :P 9) Can't argue with that. Scarlion hat is Dop3. I agree.
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran See, you are one of the people that got me playing maple again after a year long hiatus (along with SmartBored). You guys are helping the maple community stay alive. Thank you.
bro you made me cry. believe it or not, i play maplestory since late of 2005 i can't remember exactly it was somewhere between september to october, i just turned 16 back then, you can guess how old i m today xD back then a friend told me about maplestory me and him were playing counter strike zero hour online lol. he told me about this game, i was at first like "ehh i want CS only atm" but then i gave it a try, i remember i was laughing at the snails and mushrooms and was asking him "what is this". with a few days i got into it, and was happy, i asked him what path should i take? he told me spearman, i got to lvl 34 barely (messed up ofcourse) put to much DEX lol and instead using two handed swords rather than spears, and i saw his cleric and was like "wth bro? your cleric is fast and strong, look at my weak and slow spearman" haha! oh man the feels~ i have much more to say, but it turns into a ramble so i will stop. =P Have to edit! the way i discovered RUclips is because i was searching for maplestory info LOL! and my youtube username you probably guessed... "PQ" my original account was "pq2" cause i LOVED the ludi pq cause it was second after kerning.
The music hit me hard man it gave me a huge nostalgia hit I don't remember the last time I listened to the maple background music since I play with my friends at the beginning
Same here man, I met a lot of good friends on maplestory. I would be so excited to log on okay with them, I met some good people years ago. I haven't talked to em for years but I hope they are doing well. It may be a virtual game world but I felt they were my friends. Cheers to you Galan hope your doing well.
im not sure if anyone noticed this but. the old victoria island have way bigger maps and have tons of hidden streets. i miss the big maps and hidden streets because it made exploring fun. now the maps are so straightforward. Anyone remember the golem deathtrap when you try to get to sleepywood from henesy?
Damn I resonated so much with this video. Maplestory was such a huge part of my life in '07 in my first year of college. Rolling that die for the perfect 12/5/4/4 stats on my Swordsman, scouting to keep our party's channel in the KPQ, getting a Zakum helmet being a pretty big deal, guild chat with cool bros just enjoying the grind like the rest of us (shout out to old Zeal in Windia) all that shit was amazing. Permabeginners were a thing with that sick Frozen tuna weapon that only they could wear.
I was a beta player, and started in bellocan on December 6th 2006 the day that it came out. this video is so nostalgic and brings back so many great memories. thank you.
Honestly, congratulations on the video. I'm an original ms player myself. Began in 06 I believe. Stopped playing after I had to move to Brazil and MS Global wasn't available for this area after that huge MS update that banned many players from other countries due to server capacity. My character still exists but I don't have access to it anymore "Braza4life" lvl 102 CB strong as hell. I remember my maple shield had 9 60% scrolls for att (extremely rare) scrolled it myself. I've downloaded ms again in the newest version and the game has changed completely. I don't think it will ever be the same as before.
the fun thing about maple is about how we are able to make friends from there. doing pq, taking boat, adventure into new maps, jumping quest together with friends.
Man, I started playing on v.26, sooo long ago. I really miss the old maplestory. I remember trying so long to get Genesis for my bishop, it took so long. When the corsair came out, it was my favourite class but I hate how they changed it... I miss all the old pq's, how it is hard to actually level, bossing with people. I still remember the first time I got my zhelm, you had to pay 50m for a guild to get one for you. There is soooo much nostalgic feeling... Man I miss it. Maybe one day it will come back...
I miss the original henesys hunting grounds 1...those 4 platforms going from snails, to slimes, to mushrooms, to green mushrooms. It was a representation of 4 different skill levels that all trained together on one map, good times. The way henesys looks now just isn't the same.
damn i still could remember the time when we have to go orbis and we all have to go in a pack with a night lord.time where you go boss and we go in big groups, time we spent to level and it takes ages . i wish those old times was still around
I miss the bomb enemy bug in NLC. I remember everyone would sit around their map, and I'd go around setting it up, and then we'd all just watch and smile as they multiple ridiculously. Good times...
GloryMech Pfft. I remember a crowd would form, then I just start poking each one individually while everyone watched in awe. We were all so innocent back then... Poking baby bombs...
Man I miss the old Maple so much. I used to play back in 2005 and moved to Broa in 2006 because Scania was always too full to get in lol. It was so sociable back in the day. The kerning PQs and the Ludi PQs. Sure it took a long time to lvl, (I remember from level 60-70 it was coolie zombies that gave 8% an hour) but it was fun to just rest and be with friends. After Big Bang it just got worse. I tried playing again a few months ago and it took a few weeks of solo play with no nx to get to level 141. There's no HHG1 or people in ch 1 to socialize with as much. It felt like a shell of its former self. I also miss my old buddy list so much. I never deleted anyone on my old accounts because I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I remember years ago one of my favorite maple friends logged on from a long hiatus. We were so happy to train and quest with each other. We caught up and chatted a lot. I regret not keeping in touch with him outside maple because that was the last time I saw him again.
I definitely miss the original Carnival PQ, being stuck at lvl 33 forever, playing with people I actually enjoyed playing with even if we sucked and I loved the Family part of the game. Unfortunately, I could never experience the good PQs because I sucked and couldn't level :''(. But I miss the old maple community and my old friends and now everyone is just for themselves which makes me sad even though it's still a good game. R.I.P. to the old maple but I guess everything has to change at one time or another.
holy shit, i miss these days. the days were capping on 10k was alot to me XD. The days balrog and zakum was difficult af to kill. The days 10wp WG were fucckkinngg hard to get XD. Damn man, the feels dude. Sick video man.
i mean me and my friends grinded the ludi PQ for those broken glasses for daaaayyyssss. And one of my friends pulled off a dexless sin and was the strongest of our whole squad XD I REALLY miss those days
Hey i knew HenryReturns!! he was the master of my guild 64bit in Kradia . Really nice pal! We used to do the dragon rider pq together. Nice video man keep it up :) RIP maplestory
i miss all all the PQ's where you had to travel to the actual town to do ( ex, lmpq/Lpq Orbis glitch pq) and i remember PQ's such as HPQ and KPQ where you had to send a scout and rush which was annoying but also fun. I also miss taking the ship to orbis and hiding from the rog so it doesn't kill me.
Another thing I missed about old maple was when people actually took boat rides to Orbis and kill the Crimson Balrog to reach level 100. While all the low levels stay under deck freaking out XD. Those were only so fun because got to sit down and relax, meet new people and talk among our selves.
Wow! I completely forgot about the dice rolling.... I remember when I first hit a 1,000 on my level 43 I/L Mage in Aqua road. That was so exciting! And sins were just the coolest dudes around. Flash jump was my dream! Now it's on literally every class..and haste was so amazing
I remember the sheer excitement of finding my first evil wing and ilbis at Lycan and werewolf. I used to watch Ninjagaru an Tiger train just to learn how to use the skills. Lastly, ducking in and out of the ship from Orbis to Vic when Balrog was outside.
I started ms in 2005. I was in maple sea because I didn't know that there was several servers until I was region locked and found gms during its 1st year anniversary
I just miss the community.I miss the Sundays before school starts back our guild would just sit in FM or on a random map and just chat, share stories. And the long ass boat rides! You'd always meet someone friendly and new.
omg almost cried like 3 times. So true. Even the GPQ (orbis) was fun, where you had to DC your internet connection for 2 secs and plug it back in . Miss those days so much.
I really, really miss the social and cooperative aspect from maple like pqs. Their side quests and jpq were something I really love doing as well because u get to know the town and their culture (Korean folk town for example) and have exclusive equipments that only can be obtain by those quests. It's crazy because of the change in the town layout that you can't do Jay's quest for Chief Stan Hat. Was really lucky to get it when I still could
SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran I guess if you're still playing Maple but I went back to watch it a few times after I quit and cringe at how badly I used to love the show... it was well made for its time and I'm sure Dray went on to do bigger and better things but it sucks now in my opinion.
javdaman123 I think it's still so amazing because of what it was for its time like you said.. It's a classic imo :( It's original and it was awesome! Therefore it's still awesome! Haha
what i miss is the statisfaction of the hard work you had to do to even level up on this game, ive spend days at the newties map to get my ranger upto bowmaster from lvl 100 to 120 just shooting that one spawning newtie on the middle map, and those quests to finally get to bowmaster were so exciting i remembered having my heart beat a lot during
oh man i remember playing back in summer of 2004.. grinding in the forest of golems in sleepy wood when ludi nor the cash shop wasnt even out.. those were the best times of the game imo
I first started when i was like 8 so like 9 years ago, and wow the game then was amazing, I remember my brothers mate able up his Esther shield so we went to Ludi and grinder on the monster that could drop the shield (forget the name) and I was too low of a level so I just sat on a safe spot talking with everyone for hours as our guild came together to help a friend out to get another esther shield, shit like this made the game amazing, so many memories
Oh man those old explorer skill animations. I always wanted to be a night lord cause they looked so cool but my friend had convinced me to be a bishop when I started out since we needed a healer and night lords were hard to fund. I appreciate what red did for explorers: it made them relevant and able to compete with the other classes, but I miss a lot of the old animations. The bishop rework specifically killed it for me, I switched to f/p soon after the open job advancement system came out (and I got a free coin). Not to mention that I, like every other bishop, miss genesis spam above all else. Night lord wasn't as bad for me. I miss the old animations since they were super cool, but at the same time I loooooove showdown (and shade splitter in 3rd job) so it makes up for it. I also miss Dragon Knight: that was my friend's class when he got me into the game and it looked so cool and I really enjoyed playing it (later, when levelling was easier post-bb, I didn't level anyone but my bishop for the most part before bb). Berzerker is pretty boring in comparison. On the same note, I also miss the skill books. I remember when I finally got to 4th job I needed angel ray, and someone I met sold it to me for really cheap cause I had some really valuable mastery books to trade as well. I didn't mind mastery books back then because they made you work for something. Now I feel like there is no reason for them to be there. You just work up enough meso and have to waste it on a book rather than other things to actually fund your character. Bosses are also lame since everyone just solos it. Hopefully reboot brings back big groups doing chaos zakum and stuff. I also look forward to finding a good guild full of people to do things like crimsonwood keep with. I love that pq, but it got really easy and a ton of people are honestly scumbags about it now, but hopefully in reboot more people will want to cooperate since we all suck now, and it will be fun again. Same goes for basically everything in the game. Hopefully the community will foster again. I pretty much just levelled to 4th job in reboot with a close friend of mine, and haven't payed much attention to guilds or other large groups of people yet. The importance of that kind of fell off about a year ago in other servers (at least for me, I never got much support from my guildies with the exception of a few friends I made) but hopefully this time it will be different. It would have been cool if they brought back the family system, though. I remember someone adopted me and through the family network I met a ton of people, and was super excited when I finally met the head of the family cause they were like the most respected person in the server because the family was so big. Sure it wasn't perfect, but neither is the new maple. Reboot won't be perfect, either, but I think it is a step in the right direction.
+Jake Thompson A lot of things you touched on that I would completely agree with myself. I miss a lot of the old skill animations as well but moreover, a lot of the old skills in general. Dragon Buster, Assaulter, Avenger, Arrow Rain, Strafe, the list literally goes on and on and on. RED was definitely a much needed and well developed/implemented update and it did the explorer classes justice! I agree with how you feel on the mastery book situation. I'm sure you'll come to notice for yourself sooner than later that Reboot does have a lot more party play and friend-ability to it than the normal servers; which is awesome. I've also had a similar experience relating to the family system so high five to that haha. And that last sentence is mine as well as many others' belief as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Yeah sorry for stealing your words but that is exactly what I believe, too. I have high hopes for reboot. Hopefully nexon keeps improving it, too.
kerning pq. first time together. That is the one memory of maple I'll never forget. I remember it was so competitive because only one party could go in at once.
I remember doing 4th job quests on my bishop. Miss the old Genesis and selling farm. That was back when there were no priests bc they sucked to level up then 4th job and the floor of bishops came. Gen 30 was one of the most expensive skill books too. Chronos, coolies, and himes were the place to go to level a priest. Those were the good days
He mentioned how the game used to be built to bring people together. The pq's, bossing, family system etc. all of that stuff was what made the game great. All of those things are what make all games great. I've noticed recently though that almost all games, not just maple, are moving away from that. Games these days are being made to be played more independently. Its harder to make new friends while playing. Anyways just something I was thinking about. Awesome video, I sure miss the pq's though. Maple is no fun without them
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and agreeing as well. I don't play TOO MANY games outside of maple but the ones I do thankfully involve a lot of teamwork like Destiny on the PS4 and League of Legends haha. It's a darn shame though if what you said is true :(
Wow...I started to daydream about selling Jr. Newts with my F/P mage. I think I used to charge 10mil/hr and I had a lot of buyers. Another one I remember from my old F/P mage days was the boomer glitch in Masteria. That was when it first came out and it got me from 90-130 in a week or so. Those were the good old days for sure...
I don't miss any of this shit lol, it was good for it's time, but I'd never go back to the inconveniences. Though, the only thing I did miss from this video was the bossing/pq bonding and friend making. That was good times. Also the boat rides, with everyone hiding inside from the Balrogs.
Nostalgia: I remember when MTS wasn't a thing yet, Coolie Zombies use to be the place to train, and I even remember when there was no 4th job advancement.

Just wanted to say I appreciate all the support this video has gotten over the years. Not sure why but RUclips has been randomly promoting this video for the past 2 months or so as RUclips likes to do lol. Cheers to all the amazing times and memories we all have of this game, and shout outs to any one who still fu**s with this game. ✊
I think its because people are joining oldschool private servers
If you want, a good private server i play on is maplelegends.
@@ferarry13 I've been searching for a way to play the classic version. How do I find these private servers? Oh it would be a dream to play again. Can you help show me how?
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
don't forget getting stuck in sleepy wood and having some one higher level to walk you out
+3131joe I remember my friend got me deep into ludi tower one time after training on my account and I couldn't get out without dying lmao.
I made lots of masos selling fish from elnath tower and making tower scrolls from oxygenh02 in windia
3131joe Ohh yeaa selling the tower scrolls were pretty good meso haha :P
Yea good old memory,i have to create a new character justbecause i got stuck lol
ben uzumaki LMFAO! Damn! GG hahahaha xD
The long boat rides. They made the world feel huge. It is WAYY too convenient to travel now.
I agree! Those travel times were so damn long but it was nice listening to the music. It also makes it feel like you're actually going somewhere
+Hyperxeon Not to mention dying/killing/hiding from cRogs on the way to Orbis. Oh man were they scary.
You can still go to orbis on the boat ride now!
+LOL IDC Wow Right on the DOT. I played when it was Beta and IT was like I couldn't wait to get home to just get on!! Love it!
+Jake Thompson I remember how I always tested my luck and went to the bottom of the ship just to catch a glance of the Rogs because I never really looked at them before and I would always freak out and die XDD
Shout out to those guys who couldn't get past level 45 in maplestory 7 or so years ago.
took me atleast 2 years to hit 30 on my bandit
more like past level 51 xD
took me 1+ year to get to level 58 on my lukless wizard back in '07
started playing again with a few friends and i just hit level 54 in 2 days @.@
I could not get past level 55
I got to 51 from cpq and couldn't advance further
Not to mention the maps and hidden streets, it really gave you a sense of a living breathing world with secrets and exploration.

+Bao Nguyen
THE NOSTALGIA
TIGER, NINJAGARU, GODBANDIT, KIEF (i think that was his name i forgot he was a bandit)
all 100+ back before 3rd job was even around.
I remember when it was just warrior , mage, thief , and archers lol.
Yeah and then after that the Pirates came out. 5 jobs xD
i remember when like 10 pirates were like all in 1 place and shooting at mushrooms
And when Ludibrium and Orbis were new worlds
I miss the tiger era
And Pig Beach was the best training ground and Mushmom and Balrog were the scariest things ever
im playing for almost 9 years and what i miss the most about maplestory are the music while doing pq's the old ludi pq that was amazing
ExtraAlcohol
I agree
Barrel stage was so annoying though
B> Fame 30k
Oh i made millions with fame😂 sold It For 750k
Trade fame?
Don’t trust this guy, famed him 5 years ago still haven received my mesos
Haha what about going up and down orbis tower with out the tower scroll 😑
Did it too many times to count, but it's not something that I miss lmao effff thattttt
I rly missed that, tbh. I also liked exploring Eos Tower.
All 100 floors of ludibrium tower
yo when he said making friends...that hit me hard!! that was literally my grade school days going online to play ms and just meeting so many ppl and getting helped!
I miss the difficulty of the game. But mostly, I miss the friendships that would be built. There's no happiness in soloing Zakum or going out of your way to beat a boss like the Headless Horseman. It's either too easy now or too pointless. I wasn't around for most of the early maple because I had no sense of patience and gave up at the slightest bit of challenge. Now I wish Maple gave us some incentive to explore, discover, and conquer. There's so many areas and bosses people completely gloss over because it's so utterly useless to farm there compared to somewhere else. I just really miss the sense of adventure I had playing Maplestory.
i still do that just for the heck of it
I can be very impatient but I loved getting lost in time playing the old Maple. I'd literally spend weeks just getting to lvl 30 but those weeks were by no means a waste of my life since I had so much fun with it. The sense of exploration, adventure, and discovery were what rly made this game worthwhile and made me lots of good memories. Now I can probably lvl up to 4th job in a week, but it would feel like a waste of my life since this game feels so incredibly bleak now. They rly sucked the soul out of this game.
Yeah, but also it was toooo dificult, i think the game now is too easy, and I hated the long trip,
Henesys hunting ground 1
+GeninGeo Slime Tree

The good ol' days of Kradia, I'll forever be a Kradian when I started back in 08, I haven't played in nearly 6 years now and I'll always treasure the time spent in game and the amazing people I met playing.
Man, I remember when people made islanders who stayed on maple island and people who stayed beginners (A friend of mine stayed till level 50). People use to invent their own classes too and it was pretty interesting. Also, about the pqs, I think the most enjoyment was entering PQs because god, they were PACKED. Speaking of PQs, Araint PQ was the most hectic and fun PQ to enjoy, plus you get a sweet chair. And probably the one thing I miss the most was HENESYS HUNTING GROUND. It was awesome seeing all the level ranges get together in the area whether to make friends, level, and KS. I still have a photo of my group of friends that gave me a reason to keep playing, and boy, when maplestory really was "it's your story".
+Daegoon Hahaha how could I forget about the islanders! Oh man idk how those people did it xD I remember there being a level 100 islander at one point or something close to it at least... Crazy stuff! Ariant/Pyramid PQ was dope as fk.. I really liked both variations we've had of it in the past. I also have some very fond memories of HHG1 as well... Love thinking about it from time to time. GG :(
+Daegoon OMG dude i remember how me and my one friend almost worshipped this guy in windia who was a lvl 200 beginner and we all helped him get there with our bishops XD
old maplestory was the best..challenging as hell but dam rewarding..monster carnival, kerning pq, ludi pq...
I also miss making friends. You used to be able to start long conversations with almost anybody and train along the way. Now its just grind grind grind and nobody takes the time to appreciate friendships like in the good old days. Before Big Bang, i remember id go to all the mainstream training spots, party up and just hang out with peeps
+TheLogo101 Yea, certainly a quality that's been at a major loss in the last few years. I recall doing something similar myself :(
the crowded fm, people selling 60% overall Luk scrolls at kpq entrance, families which consisted of basically the entire world
Bravo Bravo! One of the best maple videos I've ever seen. While I've not played since 2009 you speak from the heart of what has been missing from MMO gaming since the last, like, 6 years or even more.
Aw thanks a lot man ~ I'm glad you found the video relatable ~
Man, this made me tear up! Been a MS veteran since 2006 & having experienced this makes me happy, but the memories still remain!
I started at the beta version. Shout out to pan lids!
It was funny how we used to think that fame had increased our chances of getting a pan lid, so some people bought a tremendous amount of fame.
Nexon really needs to watch this video and reflect on what theyve done LOL
+Brandon Nguyen Lmfao! xD
Also, my dream to become a video game designer came from this game and one day I'll make something just as great as old maple for everyone to enjoy
Nice
Really hope so😂 old School maple Was The best thing Ever!!!
Please don’t stop make it happen
u made me cry dude fkin cry..was at 4th grade and playing assasin 1 month for 1-46 ludi pq fuck..it was 16% each pq I FKING MISS IT GIMME A HUG NOW
+Inan görman Hahaha sorry D= But yea... Good times... *hugs*
+Inan görman *hug*
This just randomly popped up in my recommendation, and thank you for that!
I played MS right from beta I believe. My very first MMORPG ever. SOOOO much memories come back after watching this video.
Back then it took like 2 weeks to get to lvl 30 for 1st job change? The very first party quest at Kerning City, where people used to copy every single IGN that were queuing up for PQ. Then there were this command you can input in chat to TRACK where that player is. With the names copied, we can find who got into the PQ map and track their progress, once they were at the final stage, we would spam click NPC hoping to get in PQ with my party. Sounds annoying, but it was actually really fun. We all use the time waiting to get in PQ to socialize, and make real friends.
Also anyone remember Pan Lid? The best shield for mages back in the days for a very long time. It was dropped by green mushroom if i remember correctly, but it was extremely rare, making pan lid one of the most expensive items in game at that time (if not the most expensive). My friend got 3 btw...from drops...and gave me one for free..so no complain xD
I think all lvl 30+ equips were only available from drops, like zombie mushrooms. I remember farming the lvl 30+ mage hat and i was so happy when i got it. AHHH Great Times!!!
Most of this was just gameplay experiences though. I'll list what I miss most about the Old Maplestory.
1) The social aspect. People were always online and it was so easy to make friends and even online best friends on the game. People would hang out all over Henesys and it was not hard to find something random to do with somebody
2) Even though it did waste a lot of time, the Orbis Ellinia ships. Looking back on it now, the ship going between Orbis, Ellinia, and Ludi just made the game that much more fun in a social aspect. People would play games talk to each other and more on the ship, and next thing you know, you completely would forget what you're doing when you get to Orbis because you made a new friend and want to do something with him/her
3) How much fun it was being a noob. This is one of the few games where the community itself made it fun to actually be a noob. Even though the game was "grindy", you weren't forced to level to have fun
4) Not afraid to admit it, but since I was a lot younger back then, it was so much damn fun hitting on the opposite gender in that game.
5) Populated Low Level Party Quests. The Party Quests were so much freakin fun. Team up with 3 other guys and you could do a party quest that was actually pretty fun. My personal favorite party quest was Monster Carnival and Kerning PQ. Even though you had to autoclick to get in the PQ, it was kind of fun and nostalgic as I look back at it.
6) Best Background Music ever. The background Music was the best at it's time because it was just downright orgasmic. It was probably the only game that I'd actually turn the volume up for because the BGM was just on point.
7) The players. Maplestory had a super healthy player base. Guild like UndiePatrol were awesome back then and Dray86 was an awesome youtuber for the game. Curryishott, Suuushi, Tiger etc.
God those were some good fucking times. If there was one game I would go back in time just to play over again. It would have to be Maplestory with Runescape as a close 2nd.
wow agreed 100%
Opposite gender Copesen
And dying was actually a bit of a setback because it actually took time to gain that exp back
Subscribed. You made me actually teared out thinking about all the good days of Maple.. Though I didn't join until late 2009, Knights of Cygnus were my very first maple character class, next comes Aran. It's been nearly 7 years now, I miss the days where you can kpq and make friends at lower levels 21 - 30.. theres so much more I can say but you know how it feels.
in the old maplestory no one i knew was above lvl60 we Just came on maplestory and chat for ours. back then a high lvl wasn't inportant
In 2018 and experiencing this new MMO styles.
8:22 It's the feel of "we're all on the same boat/struggle" that's gone.
There is no struggle, and part of what made us make comrades and topics was the struggle. Now the struggle is gear and RNG gear, and to talk about materialistic stuff makes us all toxic and envious of what we had no luck that it drives us apart. Specially when said RNG gear is rendered useless in a month and we start again, forcing us to not bother about bonds due to the pace.
You know you were the real OG maple player when you started on mapleglobal beta on the tespia server, with the jewel encrusted ornament as the pointer and a time when even 3rd job and el nath wasn't available yet.
The thing i miss the most would be the fact that people were actually friendly also now though in Windia especiallly everyone is anti social and if you go on their map while they train they basically say "f*** off" or "you know there are other CCs?" i remember how before BB people welcomed others and decided to party it's kind of sad really you have to get lucky to find nice people sometimes in windia..lol
+Justin Lampert idk about other servers since i just came back to the game after 500 years, but the Reboot servers aint bad, worst thing you might get is others coming in and mobbing the shit outta your kills because their class is better at it. But people always keep to one side of the map while im at the other or decide to party me.
yea it's still possible it's just more difficult than before
***** definitely there are plenty of guilds and whatnot to join, the one i'm in called Smile is full of friendly people. It might be harder than before but it's definitely possible.
I started playing again and I’m in windia!! Be my buddy! 😂
this brought back so much nostalgia of about 5 years ago on maple, thank you.
Getting my beach chair was life back then.
EDIT: Getting my pig mount was life too.
the thing i miss the most is the bosses, back in the day soloing zakum made you seem like a god, i remember dieing while trying to solo zakum for mastery books, the old days were fun
The worst thing about Maple nowadays is how you can go from 1 to about 150 over a 2x weekend with little effort. It's all just a range contest nowadays man..
+Yuuva
what do u mean by range contest?
and r u serious about getting to 150 like that?
it took me a year to get to lvl 70.... and we didnt even have 3rd job back than lol
Took me 2 month to get lv30 hahaha and 1 year lv50
Man... this brings back the feels haha, I started playing back in beta... The days when finding a panlid from green mushies at HH used to sell for 200-300k and exploring further into sleepywood when parties of level 40-50s used to try and fight tauro macies to get to jr balrog and exploring el nath through the werewolves etc to get to coolie zombies. Shame they don't bring back an old server like that, would be good fun... The hype around the cash shop when they first released it as well was great, before cubes etc came around and it was all about the cosmetics rather than the damage. Used to take 2-3 full parties to kill zakum to get zakum helmets for the guilds and stuff. Also perion channel one before the free market used to be where so many people sold their stuff, makes me feel old!
+orishas :) All of that stuff sounds familiar to me haha so don't worry buddy, we can be old together! The only thing I wasn't around for that you mentioned was the pre Cash Shop release (I think, I don't remember), and the Perion Ch 1 being the FM haha. Thanks for sharing though man, appreciate it :)
I remember when they introduced the "Jump Down" feature... Damn, I'm old.
the old 4-4 stat dice rolls, obtaining the green relaxer from pio after collecting screws and wooden planks from those boxes, getting a headband or skullcap at the end of mai's training quests and nerdgasming when you got a red headband since it had like +5 accuracy compared to the other headbands, getting stuck in sleepywood/omega sector and pretty much crying about it, henesys hunting ground where you would find the occasional bishop showing off their genesis skill, walking from henesys to sleepywood and hoping not to fall into the pit of golems, overall dex and glove attack were always in demand, onyx apples and gelt chocolates were cool, every dexless assassin looked identical with the sauna robes, kandayos, and bamboo hats, having track or autoclick for kpq was a must, jumping to that 3rd sewer took skill, trading wins in monster carnival was the fastest way from 30-50, always had the people fighting over which box to stand on in the final stage of lpq, doing lmpq and not having to worry about spending mesos on pots since hp and mp were the only reward basically, nlc quests for the deputy star/blue chair, the dreaded third job advancement quests where the tower scrolls were essential unless you wanted to walk up and down the tower 10 times. and who could forget those boat rides and all the old friends we made? the list goes on. it's somewhat depressing to know that we will never encounter those old friends again, but at least we have these great memories to re-live. 2005-2010 were great years, and although the game is complete trash now in my opinion, i will always remember having a fun childhood while playing maplestory.
The fact you said "jumping to the third sewer took skill" just brought back a rush of memories. That shows me how dedicated you were to the game at the time. Fuck man it's crazy....
monster carnival from 30-50 and 50 to 70
Missed the Christmas events back then. It was back when maple was still only 4 jobs. Even pirate didn't exist yet. When Christmas came me and my friends would contest who can get that Ice chair first. It was a blast. It was a breath of fresh air from all that grinding. Now it's hard to find friends in Maple. My older friends don't log on anymore. I remember being so poor back then i thought i could buy something in FM with 20k. I walked in and blew up. There were intense lag in Ch 1 FM that if you can even get in you can barely move or see yourself. People sat in almost every map talking to each other. There were card and board game setups almost like gambling. Finally the one thing every noob will remember back in the day. When you're out exploring and earned enough mesos to take the ferry to Orbis and dies to the Crimson Balrog. This is the one thing any old mapler can't forget.
SpookyBee I'm stuck in orbis because I used up all mesos to buy a ticket back to Victoria but dies to balrog :(
SpookyBee I'm stuck in orbis because I used up all mesos to buy a ticket back to Victoria but dies to balrog :(
and yes! that's my first ever Christmas event in Maple and I remember selling the rascal snowflakes to others because I just started the game for a month and am poor
I remember I can't get out of Ariant because I didn't know which NPC to talk to lol. I actually sold all my equips to get enough to leave Ariant. Felt like a noob back then but now I miss being a maple noob.
I had a similar experience at Ariant. Couldn't get out of the town lol. A high lvl Mapler helped me out. All I can remember was that she looked like a Heneh0e.
Started playing Maple again little while ago and you mentioning HonorGuards really brought back great memories.
I joined the HonorGuards in Broa shortly after it was created and became friends with the leader (can't remember his IGN, but I still remember his IRL name and that he was from Sweden). I remember doing a lot of quests, grinding and just chatting with the guild members and they even helped me get back on my feet after I got hacked. I wish I could go back to those days :(
Things I remember
1: CC1, CC2 etc on the Kerning PQ
2: The month or so time just to get to 2nd job.
3: First time in the boat to Orbis, getting KOed by CBalrog, did not know about the cabin.
4: Getting killed on Kerning PQ channel 1 asking for Party once someone decided to release a summoning sack
5: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ to pad my speech
6: Seeing 1k damage and being surprised.
7: Asking a guild leader, near lvl 200 to get me a Targa/Scarlion hat.
8: Training at hidden maps
9: Making friends and adventuring with them.
Fun times.....
I remember the hackers so hard. I remember when I was in Henesys to get some potions, but suddenly there was just giant slimes everywhere! And I think the last time I ever saw an intense crazy hack was during the Big Bang update. Somebody summoned Horntail right on the map of Henesys it was crazy and right before people started to quit was when I saw Pink Beans everywhere and it lagged the server and I got kicked out xD
Man this is nostalgic af...
What I miss the most:
I started playing when a majority of players were like lvl 30 and being lvl 70 was godly lol
1. pig beach and slime tree- all the noobs trained there
2. Kerning PQ - I remember everyone trying to click and get in. I was constantly tracking different IGNs that would disappear so I can click as soon they got out.
3. I honestly miss my group of friends the most even though I haven't talked to them in many years :( just people to train with and boss with made it worth it to stay on for hours.
I remember back when I first played maplestory right after evan's release. When I first got into the game as Evan I had no clue what going on but I met many people that helped me along the way. After Aran's release, I created an aran character and managed to reach lvl 55 in a week but then right after that I got busy with school and stuff then totally forgot about maplestory. Then just 2 weeks ago I decided to come back. When I return I realise it took me only bout a day to get my character to lvl 100. When I compare the old and new maple, the biggest change is probably the difficulty and maybe the community. I wish I had gotten more into maple back then. It was a lot more fun
Last played maple on version 55.0 and joined during 1st anniversary. Returning to the game on version 175.1. I made a new character and got to triple digits. Never ever in my years of old maple story.
I started Maplestory back before the Big Bang update, and some of these I don't really agree with, but everyone has their own list. Here's my view/list of post and pre big bang likes and dislikes.
1) Old mushroom kingdom and Kerning Square. They were the bomb, and now they're revamped (kerning is gone). I miss the medal, the gloves, etc. I still hold on to the chars. who have them out of nostalgia.
2) I loved the easier leveling, but I wish that they would tone it back a bit. Pre-big bang, my highest characters were level 50-ish. Now, I can actually use 4th job skills and stuff.
3) The old maple island was fucking amazing. Remember Roger's Apple? Mai's Training? Those were the days.
4) I'm kinda on the fence about how Maple has super-flashy classes like Hayato. For me, they're fine, but for people with running Maple on Potato OS, it's annoying and laggy, even with graphics turned down.
5)People don't do secondary-stat less characters anymore? I still do that. Am I stupid?
6) The two things I don't remember are the NTS and Rolling for stats, but I was a bit of a latecomer in the Maple scene.
7) Honestly, I feel like maplestory has too many classes. Is it just me, or do I love making the explorers/cygnus knights because they branch out in so many diverse ways.
8) The game feels so lonely now. People only do RNJ, all the other PQs feel left out. A few still do LPQ, but it's rare.
9) I fucking love the Scarlion hat. FUCKING. LOVE. THE. SMILE.
All in all, I feel like Maple has lost its charm, but maybe that's just us growing up. I started when I was 8 or so (Screw the E 10 and up!) and now I'm a teenager. But I feel like if all the changes were reverted, the charm wouldn't come back. The new maple is still good, and worth playing.
+ItsMeMinecraftJr Thanks for the detailed comment MinecraftJr! Hope you don't mind that I reply to everything individually just to share what I feel about how you feel! Haha
1) I hated the old mushroom kingdom haha, it felt sooo boring to me but I know many many people who really liked it so it was definitely a good addition to the game. Kerning square was pretty dope I agree.
2) I know most people would agree with your 2) point, including myself. Back then it was awesome to have that challenge as a kid... But i'm an adult now and I just don't have that kind of time needed to reach level 120+ in the old maple's conditions/exp curve... So I'm glad leveling is the way it is currently, but like you said it can definitely be toned back a bit.
3) I've never been a fan of the first 10 levels of the game, I think it's better now to be honest because it gets you into the real world quicker which is where the real fun begins.
4) When it comes to flashy classes, I don't mind at all. MapleStory is becoming less and less easy for PC's to run but that's bound to happen as time goes on so I see nothing wrong here :P
5) What I mean is, there is no secondary stat-less or not characters anymore, because secondary stats don't aren't required for anything anymore (despite very few equips like dragon khanjars). This means that everyone is Secondary Stat-less! xD
7) I feel they do have an extremely large number of classes but the way I see it is... The more the merrier! Gives us more options and a better likelihood of actually finding a class that we love and have no problem maining for an extended period of time. Character creation has slowed down severely the past while which is understandable since the game already has enough options, and in turn I believe they're using that extra effort now to help better the game which is nice.
8) Yea very true. However this is something Nexon dev's are looking into at the moment and we might be seeing a lot of changes on PQ's in the near future! :P
9) Can't argue with that. Scarlion hat is Dop3.
I agree.
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran See, you are one of the people that got me playing maple again after a year long hiatus (along with SmartBored). You guys are helping the maple community stay alive. Thank you.
ItsMeMinecraftJr Aw haha don't mention it buddy! I'm glad we were able to help make you wanna play the game again :) Thanks for the compliment ~
bro you made me cry. believe it or not, i play maplestory since late of 2005 i can't remember exactly it was somewhere between september to october, i just turned 16 back then, you can guess how old i m today xD back then a friend told me about maplestory me and him were playing counter strike zero hour online lol. he told me about this game, i was at first like "ehh i want CS only atm" but then i gave it a try, i remember i was laughing at the snails and mushrooms and was asking him "what is this". with a few days i got into it, and was happy, i asked him what path should i take? he told me spearman, i got to lvl 34 barely (messed up ofcourse) put to much DEX lol and instead using two handed swords rather than spears, and i saw his cleric and was like "wth bro? your cleric is fast and strong, look at my weak and slow spearman" haha! oh man the feels~ i have much more to say, but it turns into a ramble so i will stop. =P
Have to edit! the way i discovered RUclips is because i was searching for maplestory info LOL! and my youtube username you probably guessed... "PQ" my original account was "pq2" cause i LOVED the ludi pq cause it was second after kerning.
The music hit me hard man it gave me a huge nostalgia hit I don't remember the last time I listened to the maple background music since I play with my friends at the beginning
Same here man, I met a lot of good friends on maplestory. I would be so excited to log on okay with them, I met some good people years ago. I haven't talked to em for years but I hope they are doing well. It may be a virtual game world but I felt they were my friends. Cheers to you Galan hope your doing well.
im not sure if anyone noticed this but. the old victoria island have way bigger maps and have tons of hidden streets. i miss the big maps and hidden streets because it made exploring fun. now the maps are so straightforward. Anyone remember the golem deathtrap when you try to get to sleepywood from henesy?
Yes I remember that XD man I miss this game
Damn I resonated so much with this video. Maplestory was such a huge part of my life in '07 in my first year of college. Rolling that die for the perfect 12/5/4/4 stats on my Swordsman, scouting to keep our party's channel in the KPQ, getting a Zakum helmet being a pretty big deal, guild chat with cool bros just enjoying the grind like the rest of us (shout out to old Zeal in Windia) all that shit was amazing. Permabeginners were a thing with that sick Frozen tuna weapon that only they could wear.
I was a beta player, and started in bellocan on December 6th 2006 the day that it came out. this video is so nostalgic and brings back so many great memories. thank you.
+Tristan Riach Dam didn't know you were one of the aboriginals! That's cool to know :) Thank *You* for watching!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran np man. love your vids. keep up the great work.
Dont forget bishops selling leeching for skellys in leafre
+Anderson Silva Yes ofcourse!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran ye i made 80m from scamming that
the frustrations of doing jump quests
hiding inside the ship when you had to travel to orbis
taking 100 years to level up
everything :(
Honestly, congratulations on the video. I'm an original ms player myself. Began in 06 I believe. Stopped playing after I had to move to Brazil and MS Global wasn't available for this area after that huge MS update that banned many players from other countries due to server capacity. My character still exists but I don't have access to it anymore "Braza4life" lvl 102 CB strong as hell. I remember my maple shield had 9 60% scrolls for att (extremely rare) scrolled it myself. I've downloaded ms again in the newest version and the game has changed completely. I don't think it will ever be the same as before.
the fun thing about maple is about how we are able to make friends from there.
doing pq, taking boat, adventure into new maps, jumping quest together with friends.
Man, I started playing on v.26, sooo long ago. I really miss the old maplestory. I remember trying so long to get Genesis for my bishop, it took so long. When the corsair came out, it was my favourite class but I hate how they changed it... I miss all the old pq's, how it is hard to actually level, bossing with people. I still remember the first time I got my zhelm, you had to pay 50m for a guild to get one for you. There is soooo much nostalgic feeling... Man I miss it. Maybe one day it will come back...
+AyooItsEmilio All things I can relate to friend, all things I can relate to.
I miss the original henesys hunting grounds 1...those 4 platforms going from snails, to slimes, to mushrooms, to green mushrooms. It was a representation of 4 different skill levels that all trained together on one map, good times. The way henesys looks now just isn't the same.
damn i still could remember the time when we have to go orbis and we all have to go in a pack with a night lord.time where you go boss and we go in big groups, time we spent to level and it takes ages .
i wish those old times was still around
If maple reverted, I think a lot of players would play again
Create a petition!!
I miss the bomb enemy bug in NLC. I remember everyone would sit around their map, and I'd go around setting it up, and then we'd all just watch and smile as they multiple ridiculously. Good times...
+MegaScience When fp mages were your absolute best friend amr?? ^_^
GloryMech Pfft. Friends were friends. Not classes. :P
Haha you know what i meant! Poison mist across the whole map, making the bombs multiplayer 5x faster than 10 people trying to do it :P
GloryMech Pfft. I remember a crowd would form, then I just start poking each one individually while everyone watched in awe. We were all so innocent back then... Poking baby bombs...
slappin people across the face with fish and whatnot, i hear ya!
We really do take things for granted. -sigh- Nostalgic in every way
Thats not even old.
I miss the bronze age of Maple Story where only four jobs exist.
Man I miss the old Maple so much. I used to play back in 2005 and moved to Broa in 2006 because Scania was always too full to get in lol. It was so sociable back in the day. The kerning PQs and the Ludi PQs. Sure it took a long time to lvl, (I remember from level 60-70 it was coolie zombies that gave 8% an hour) but it was fun to just rest and be with friends.
After Big Bang it just got worse. I tried playing again a few months ago and it took a few weeks of solo play with no nx to get to level 141. There's no HHG1 or people in ch 1 to socialize with as much. It felt like a shell of its former self.
I also miss my old buddy list so much. I never deleted anyone on my old accounts because I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I remember years ago one of my favorite maple friends logged on from a long hiatus. We were so happy to train and quest with each other. We caught up and chatted a lot. I regret not keeping in touch with him outside maple because that was the last time I saw him again.
7:30 when the music hits, you instantly starts to miss your old maple friends, (i was in Mardia, guild Soapy if any1 remmebers)
I definitely miss the original Carnival PQ, being stuck at lvl 33 forever, playing with people I actually enjoyed playing with even if we sucked and I loved the Family part of the game. Unfortunately, I could never experience the good PQs because I sucked and couldn't level :''(. But I miss the old maple community and my old friends and now everyone is just for themselves which makes me sad even though it's still a good game. R.I.P. to the old maple but I guess everything has to change at one time or another.
holy shit, i miss these days. the days were capping on 10k was alot to me XD. The days balrog and zakum was difficult af to kill. The days 10wp WG were fucckkinngg hard to get XD. Damn man, the feels dude. Sick video man.
i mean me and my friends grinded the ludi PQ for those broken glasses for daaaayyyssss. And one of my friends pulled off a dexless sin and was the strongest of our whole squad XD I REALLY miss those days
Hey i knew HenryReturns!! he was the master of my guild 64bit in Kradia . Really nice pal! We used to do the dragon rider pq together. Nice video man keep it up :) RIP maplestory
+Jean-François Bergeron Thanks :) And yea he's an awesome person and an awesome friend :')
Man you made me almost cry.. Yeah.. I really missed those good old days :(
i miss all all the PQ's where you had to travel to the actual town to do ( ex, lmpq/Lpq Orbis glitch pq) and i remember PQ's such as HPQ and KPQ where you had to send a scout and rush which was annoying but also fun. I also miss taking the ship to orbis and hiding from the rog so it doesn't kill me.
+josh p Haha yes the PQ stuff I was going to mention in this video but decided to save it for a future video instead :P I know what you mean man ~
Another thing I missed about old maple was when people actually took boat rides to Orbis and kill the Crimson Balrog to reach level 100. While all the low levels stay under deck freaking out XD. Those were only so fun because got to sit down and relax, meet new people and talk among our selves.
+Emil D'at Fox Yea haha, definitely one of the classic moments of the old maple :')
Wow! I completely forgot about the dice rolling.... I remember when I first hit a 1,000 on my level 43 I/L Mage in Aqua road. That was so exciting! And sins were just the coolest dudes around. Flash jump was my dream! Now it's on literally every class..and haste was so amazing
I remember the sheer excitement of finding my first evil wing and ilbis at Lycan and werewolf. I used to watch Ninjagaru an Tiger train just to learn how to use the skills. Lastly, ducking in and out of the ship from Orbis to Vic when Balrog was outside.
I started ms in 2005. I was in maple sea because I didn't know that there was several servers until I was region locked and found gms during its 1st year anniversary
2:54 I remember those monsters, they were just added in some patch. I stopped playing soon after that, no clue what so ever what has happened since
I just miss the community.I miss the Sundays before school starts back our guild would just sit in FM or on a random map and just chat, share stories.
And the long ass boat rides! You'd always meet someone friendly and new.
I remember profiting greatly through the Maple Trade System. Sold many scrolls :)
omg almost cried like 3 times. So true. Even the GPQ (orbis) was fun, where you had to DC your internet connection for 2 secs and plug it back in . Miss those days so much.
Haha yea smuggling the orbis pq tickets..
I really, really miss the social and cooperative aspect from maple like pqs. Their side quests and jpq were something I really love doing as well because u get to know the town and their culture (Korean folk town for example) and have exclusive equipments that only can be obtain by those quests. It's crazy because of the change in the town layout that you can't do Jay's quest for Chief Stan Hat. Was really lucky to get it when I still could
I miss smuggling tickets for pq’s...
It genuinely hurts me to listen to this. Shoutout to Reveng Eternity Undie Patrol and all of the other big names back in the day.
Gobies Himes and Skeles KS wars. The best
***** No... I'm 23 now and no longer interested in Maple Story or Maple Kombat.
+javdaman123 Maple Kombat was (and still is) dope as fuck :(
SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran I guess if you're still playing Maple but I went back to watch it a few times after I quit and cringe at how badly I used to love the show... it was well made for its time and I'm sure Dray went on to do bigger and better things but it sucks now in my opinion.
javdaman123 I think it's still so amazing because of what it was for its time like you said.. It's a classic imo :( It's original and it was awesome! Therefore it's still awesome! Haha
i miss the making friends thing too very much it is just impossible to make friends for leveling but yea
what i miss is the statisfaction of the hard work you had to do to even level up on this game, ive spend days at the newties map to get my ranger upto bowmaster from lvl 100 to 120 just shooting that one spawning newtie on the middle map, and those quests to finally get to bowmaster were so exciting i remembered having my heart beat a lot during
oh man i remember playing back in summer of 2004.. grinding in the forest of golems in sleepy wood when ludi nor the cash shop wasnt even out.. those were the best times of the game imo
I miss Maple Unity :(
I first started when i was like 8 so like 9 years ago, and wow the game then was amazing, I remember my brothers mate able up his Esther shield so we went to Ludi and grinder on the monster that could drop the shield (forget the name) and I was too low of a level so I just sat on a safe spot talking with everyone for hours as our guild came together to help a friend out to get another esther shield, shit like this made the game amazing, so many memories
Oh man those old explorer skill animations. I always wanted to be a night lord cause they looked so cool but my friend had convinced me to be a bishop when I started out since we needed a healer and night lords were hard to fund. I appreciate what red did for explorers: it made them relevant and able to compete with the other classes, but I miss a lot of the old animations. The bishop rework specifically killed it for me, I switched to f/p soon after the open job advancement system came out (and I got a free coin). Not to mention that I, like every other bishop, miss genesis spam above all else. Night lord wasn't as bad for me. I miss the old animations since they were super cool, but at the same time I loooooove showdown (and shade splitter in 3rd job) so it makes up for it. I also miss Dragon Knight: that was my friend's class when he got me into the game and it looked so cool and I really enjoyed playing it (later, when levelling was easier post-bb, I didn't level anyone but my bishop for the most part before bb). Berzerker is pretty boring in comparison. On the same note, I also miss the skill books. I remember when I finally got to 4th job I needed angel ray, and someone I met sold it to me for really cheap cause I had some really valuable mastery books to trade as well. I didn't mind mastery books back then because they made you work for something. Now I feel like there is no reason for them to be there. You just work up enough meso and have to waste it on a book rather than other things to actually fund your character. Bosses are also lame since everyone just solos it. Hopefully reboot brings back big groups doing chaos zakum and stuff. I also look forward to finding a good guild full of people to do things like crimsonwood keep with. I love that pq, but it got really easy and a ton of people are honestly scumbags about it now, but hopefully in reboot more people will want to cooperate since we all suck now, and it will be fun again. Same goes for basically everything in the game. Hopefully the community will foster again. I pretty much just levelled to 4th job in reboot with a close friend of mine, and haven't payed much attention to guilds or other large groups of people yet. The importance of that kind of fell off about a year ago in other servers (at least for me, I never got much support from my guildies with the exception of a few friends I made) but hopefully this time it will be different. It would have been cool if they brought back the family system, though. I remember someone adopted me and through the family network I met a ton of people, and was super excited when I finally met the head of the family cause they were like the most respected person in the server because the family was so big. Sure it wasn't perfect, but neither is the new maple. Reboot won't be perfect, either, but I think it is a step in the right direction.
+Jake Thompson A lot of things you touched on that I would completely agree with myself. I miss a lot of the old skill animations as well but moreover, a lot of the old skills in general. Dragon Buster, Assaulter, Avenger, Arrow Rain, Strafe, the list literally goes on and on and on. RED was definitely a much needed and well developed/implemented update and it did the explorer classes justice! I agree with how you feel on the mastery book situation. I'm sure you'll come to notice for yourself sooner than later that Reboot does have a lot more party play and friend-ability to it than the normal servers; which is awesome. I've also had a similar experience relating to the family system so high five to that haha. And that last sentence is mine as well as many others' belief as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Yeah sorry for stealing your words but that is exactly what I believe, too. I have high hopes for reboot. Hopefully nexon keeps improving it, too.
kerning pq. first time together. That is the one memory of maple I'll never forget. I remember it was so competitive because only one party could go in at once.
It's pretty damn easy to level up in the early levels now, especially with burn characters
I got the feels from this, thank you for taking your time to make this video :)
My pleasure ~
I remember doing 4th job quests on my bishop. Miss the old Genesis and selling farm. That was back when there were no priests bc they sucked to level up then 4th job and the floor of bishops came. Gen 30 was one of the most expensive skill books too. Chronos, coolies, and himes were the place to go to level a priest. Those were the good days
He mentioned how the game used to be built to bring people together. The pq's, bossing, family system etc. all of that stuff was what made the game great. All of those things are what make all games great. I've noticed recently though that almost all games, not just maple, are moving away from that. Games these days are being made to be played more independently. Its harder to make new friends while playing. Anyways just something I was thinking about. Awesome video, I sure miss the pq's though. Maple is no fun without them
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and agreeing as well. I don't play TOO MANY games outside of maple but the ones I do thankfully involve a lot of teamwork like Destiny on the PS4 and League of Legends haha. It's a darn shame though if what you said is true :(
Wow...I started to daydream about selling Jr. Newts with my F/P mage. I think I used to charge 10mil/hr and I had a lot of buyers. Another one I remember from my old F/P mage days was the boomer glitch in Masteria. That was when it first came out and it got me from 90-130 in a week or so. Those were the good old days for sure...
I don't miss any of this shit lol, it was good for it's time, but I'd never go back to the inconveniences. Though, the only thing I did miss from this video was the bossing/pq bonding and friend making. That was good times. Also the boat rides, with everyone hiding inside from the Balrogs.
I miss the no cooldown Genesis as well , I may be based on this on tho lol
Hey Sorrowful, I'm from Kradia originally too. I miss all this stuff. XD It was so great back then. :3
+PerfectAngelics Wooo Kradian Pride ~
Regulate@BF/HH>.> LOL.
going to pig beach at 15 😭 the feels.
Nostalgia: I remember when MTS wasn't a thing yet, Coolie Zombies use to be the place to train, and I even remember when there was no 4th job advancement.
