I wish I were 10 again. That moment when I first played this game.. I will never be able to feel that feeling again. Everything was innocent, life was an adventure, and I was curious as well as clueless. I used to wish that MapleStory were real only cause I was socially awkward in real life and lacked the confidence to talk to people. This game helped me grow up. I learned that some of the best people in the world are too far to reach and that you must accept how things go. I just wish I could experience it again, like a virgin, haha. Back when there were only four classes, pirates hadn't even been out yet; hell, Ludibrium and Aqua Road weren't even created yet. I was imaginative and would play hide and seek without using /find with my friends, or play 'House' and made-up coming-of-age stories about child heroes. And now I'm 19, feeling unimaginative and unsure with what I want to do with the rest of my life. Surely, this game has imprinted its mark on me, one that has helped me and will never be forgotten. Thank you, MapleStory!
well said man, I had a nostalgia attack from listening to the music.. reminds me of all the times me and my buddies would play and grind kpq it was really an adventure.. one of the most carefree, happy times of my life.
Damn man, that hit me so hard. I remember those days. You'd play for hours on end. Morning to night, you don't even get a level. Once you get to level, it's a milestone. You had everybody congratulating you for something that was so hard to achieve, yet so satisfying. I still remember the era you were talking about. I believe I was 7. I remember my own account. Level 20. Everybody worked together, played together, talked to each other together. Man, I'm almost tearing up writing this. It had its time, and it was so worth it. Maple Story 2005 - 2008, you will never be missed.
Here's some nostalgic moments from the Good ol' Golden Days of Maple. Some of these you can still experience, some aren't there anymore, and some are just not the same as it used to be. Feel free to reminisce and add more to this list: Remember buying/selling/scouting for track with /find[player name] during Kerning City PQ? And how everyone waiting in the PQ area tried to jump onto the third sewer pipe with speed equipment/Haste to play drop game? Remember when Kerning City had actual stairs, not slopes? Remember hiding inside the cabin from Crimson Balrog when he invades the Ship Ride to Orbis? Remember when you actually HAD to wait for wait for a ship and wait during the ride to get to certain continents? And doing so allowed you to make friends, socialize, trade equipement, etc? Remember how Ellinia Tree Dungeon III (Slime Tree) and Hidden Street: Pig Beach where some of the most populated low level training spots? And it was damn near impossible to find a channel to train on especially during 2x EXP events? Remember Henesys being infested with people who have too much money to spend on NX items and clothing (Henehoes) and always have a party in Maya's house? And those players spamming LOOKING FOR GIRLFRIEND@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Remember Victoria Island before The Big Bang? Remember Henesys Hunting Ground 1 where all the high level players show off how much damage they can do to Snails and Mushrooms and have fun kill stealing the noobs? Remember how much of a crazy lagfest Ch. 1 Freemarket Entrance was? Remember all the Maple Mafia economy monopolizing guilds DC hacking anyone who dares take their shop spot in the Free Market? Remember not being able to say words like Savage Blow and Grape Juice cause they apparently had curse words in them? REMEMBER HOW LEVELING UP TOOK FREAKING FOREVER? Remember logging onto your character and all your friends/guildmates say "hello" or "welcome back" to you? Remember venturing into the Ant Tunnel in Sleepywood, getting lost, getting scared of all the monsters in there, asking for a higher level player to help you and hold your hand? Then asking them for a friend request, so they can help you later on in your Maple life? And then your friend gives you equipment and potions they don't need, and helps you fight against asshole players? And then later finding out they aren't logging on anymore because they moved on with life? [feels intensifies] Just like us.

What happened to that beautiful game ? I bet, the most of you, me included, remember the good ol days. You went to piggie peach, but not alone. Always with one in the party who was some levels higher than you to support you. You ran around at LVL 15 and wore LVL 8 clothes, cuz you couldnt afford some mesos for armor. You made quests because you knew thats some easy way to get some EXP. You freaking raged at the jumping quests. You used to say like: "CLERIC PQ PLS!" You hit LVL 30 and became a new job and it totally was an achievement. You had that one job, that class, that skill you always used to play and use. You had your favourite city with their pretty own pretty beautiful theme song you used to chill like for me it was totally Ellinia. That music chilled me soooo hard. You went crazy at "Arwen and the glass shoe" quest. You was totally excited you arrived Ludi for the first time. Your first boss was the slime king in Kerning PQ. You never understood what GMS or JMS in Ludi PQ meant. After you knew it, you felt like a reeeaal pro, to know what it meant, and what the different was. You went crazy for that one weapon you saved your mesos all days. You had to have some skills to become pretty strong and high LVL. You had that one pretty special feeling after a full 4 hour leveling marathon and a LVL UP. You chilled with your guild at the FM just to pose or talk or throwing stuff to that ol keeper right on his little own stage. You went through the full FM, through every store, just to find that one little item you wanted soooo bad. The highest throwingstars were Ilbis. And you felt preety awesome just throwing them at some random dudes, juuust to improve them. That was pretty me. You used flashjump where ever you could and whenever you could. Little noobs went crazy for this jump. You went crazy the first time you saw someone doing the flashjump. You discovered the Cash Shop and went toootally insane for all that awesome stuff that they had right here. You created your perfect wish list in it JUST with the hope, that someone sees it and says "hey dude, here." and bought you the stuff. Your first time buying stuff in Cash Shop and i bet you got addicted to it just for a time. Someone longer, the other maybe not so long, but i know, we all took that step and got addicted to it (: Maple Story, if you read that, i just wanna let you know, that i totally miss you. Where did you go ? You let us, the true maplers, down. You were such a beautiful game. I really miss you. and i bet its not only me. Damn... i want back that good old day Maple Story.
I think, or hope, that the most maplers can find themselves in this. in my case, this was literally me (: But only the good old day maplers can find themselves in this. Sad truth that ne new maplers have it way too easy. I hope, Nexon and Wizet bring back an old version for the true maplers out there, one day. (:
Everytime I listen to this song, it ALWAYS brings me the nostalgic touchy feeling.I am so happy that many of you guys feel the same way... I want to go back :(
Reminds me of those times I used to go to Ellinia to buy mana elixirs because they were cheaper there.... or to take a flight to Orbis.... Ahhhhhhh............................. Nostalgic goosebumps.............
I remember leveling to 120 was one of the hell toughest thing to do, I remember having a Steely is counted as god, having a Ilbi is counted as unbeatable, having a hwabi means you have connection with GM, I remember having 5 party on Zakum and it took us 40 Minutes to down it I remember HPQ, KPQ and MC, I remember bathrobe with more than 20 dex, luk, int, str would fetch more than 1.5b I remember there isn't cubing, enhancement system etc, I remember it was about having fun, making friends, chilling and not about having the ambition to down bosses in less than 10sec I remember and always will. R.I.P old Maplestory.
I remember when I was younger, my brother and I would play Maple story all summer long until 3 in the morning. we had so much fun together, we were truely friends. But then my brother decided that he wanted to be social, so he started working out, rowing crew, and spending a lot of time with his friends from school. This makes me cry a river. I remember those fun, long, summer nights that I truely had fun in. I must thank you maple story for those good years and for getting me through childhood.
People say I'm stupid for saying Maple was a part of my life, but it was, and it is. And it will be for a long time. The friends you make on there make it all worthwhile, and I will never forget all the daft things we did and the friendships I made. I loved it. I remember when I started playing it, way back in 2005. Times have changed.
hi, when I hear this I just want to say that the old maplestory wasn't just a game. It was really a way of magic for me. I guess it's gone but lives through my heart somewhere. We all got this magic feeling from the old maplestory. It was a part of my grow- up. Live and continue in peace! Cheers
Don't get me wrong, I miss the old Maplestory too. The only reason why we're all feeling nostalgic is because of how we thought of Maplestory as a kid.
Hey, I can only say that we all know the magic feeling that maplestory has given to us. Though it might be ruined these days, we can't bring it back. We have grown older, that magical feeling that we had in the old days will never feel the same. It is not bad that people create these old classic servers, but we can't change the way maplestory has changed. For all the changes that maplestory has done, I hope that this theme song for elinia will forever be the same. Greetings Magical Maplers :)
This song is a perfect representation of what my memories of Maplestory were. This game relaxed me, I had really, really good times, and it was possibly the most fun I've had playing any game ever. I played for 2006-2009. I yearn for the past. I wish there were some way that I could just go into the past for one week and play with all my old friends, do the Ludi PQ, grind on monsters, try to get to Zakum as a level 51...thank you, Maple, for all of these memories. Nothing will replace you.
I feel the same as everyone else...I used to have great maplestory moments! Now its over. It makes me soo sad to listen to this song 7 years later...I'm 20 now and those years of maple were some of the best times I've ever had in my life...
My RL husband and I are both mages. We started playing 6 years ago, LordDagnan and LadyDagnan. At our wedding we played the Ellinia Theme song instead of the wedding march. Thank you so much for posting this!
You got it spot on. At least that's the element I miss most. The peaceful aspect of the game, it had a slower pace but a larger sense of freedom and self-direction. The screen wasn't covered in event markers, quests and things werent popping up on your character non-stop reminding you that there is stuff to do. If you wanted things to do you looked for it and found it yourself and it felt so much more rewarding that way. I didn't do it because I was told to, I did it because I wanted to.
Honestly I feel as if this game is the epitome of my youth. I feel so blessed that I was able to experience this as a child. I have so much memories of this game. I'd spend countless hours with my friends exploring the maple world. Even now, 6 years later, I can still remember the happiness I felt every time I entered that world. So much has changed since that time, yet I am so glad that this game had such an impact on my life. I'll always remember those magical days.
this is probably the song that makes me cry the most, it takes me back to when i was really young. i think i was like 8 when i started playing and it sucks because i could not appreciate the game as much, being so young. I recently started playing again and yeah it was fun, but after a few weeks i got tired of it. Leveling is so easy. And why did they make one of my favorite maps in ludibrium, path of time require star force to fight the monsters? That is so annoying.
Man, those memories of middle school are coming back to me through this. Probably the only good thing that came out of those times, for me. I haven't played this game in years! I sort of miss it.
I used to play this so much, with friends and groups, getting on every day. I woke up at 8:00 and played till 12:00 at night LOL. Leveling up my classes. After BB...however. Everything changed once the buff's attacked. Soloing Zakum at 120. Getting Godly Equips buy using real money. Pathetic. I can't believe how Nexon changed. I know it was for their fans... but.... come on. :(
Hikari Shiowits ACTUALLY Wizet at least when NA servers launched was under Nexon, but with only financial cover probably. Now,yes...The grind disappeared but THAT WAS WHAT KEPT ME PLAYING. Now all that is left is music. I would still play it if it wasn't for the god-awful optimization, even a core i5 with 16 gigs and a Titan user experiences the most hilarious lag you would ever seen in a town square, and it gets worse and worse every minute you stay there. And that's considered "normal" lag when compared to Free Market Channel 1. Enter that zone the equivalent would be to try and start Internet Explorer 6 with 20,000 toolbars... ON A 500Mhz CPU!
A long time ago, back when maple story was just the 4 classes, before guilds and the trade areas, I played with a trio of people who I enjoyed my time with immensely. ChawowaV2, Rumi and Megawarrior. 3 people who I've long since lost contact to, but will never forget the times we spent together. This song reminds me of them, bringing back nostalgia for the old days where we would explore, level and play together. Memories that I'll keep with me always.
fuck this was so tight back in the day, taking the ship in ellinia and dying to all the balrogs and having to wait on the boat to stop traveling to revive
Maplestory....all those memories and time spent. It's pretty difficult to get back into it now, since it has changed drastically. Those of you who played maplestory in during the good times and stopped, what do you guys play now? Or did you drop the whole mmorpg?
I thought it was just me, but yeah I can't really play any other mmorpgs. Maplestory is probably my first and last mmorpg. Not to say that I haven't tried other mmorpgs, like Aura Kingdom, TERA, Forsaken World, Perfect World, and plenty of other games.
I love this song. I played this for about 3 - 4 years. I still play it now. Before the big bang things were cool and fun and not as confusing. The song makes me feel happy and remind me of how I had so many good times
Aw man, I remember hanging out here as a Bowman just for the music. I miss the old Maplestory on Scania and Khani servers. I have to old soundtrack somewhere I made just to keep the music i loved. I was in high school playing this 2004-2008. I miss it so much....
Where have the times gone by? Nostalgia hit me like a train right there... The good memories I will probably remember for the rest of my life :) I remember I played so much that even though I was a mere lvl 42, I knew EVERYTHING there was to know about Maplestory... At the age of 8-11. Now I'm 15 and haven't been on Maplestory since. But that's ok, I want to treasure the memories of old MS! I wonder how my "bf" and my friends are doing now...
Maplestory was full of noobs back than, who couldn't solo bossess and get godly equips with godly ranges. I BET I CAN KS ALL OF YOU!!! .... Is what someone would say if they never played before pre-bb. I miss this game when it was simply played for adventures, partying with friends and randoms and becoming friends with them, chilling, pqing, and playing drop game :P
Back then when there wasn't even a third job. Used to walk round the map with my pals in a party, hunting down mobs, slacking away and having fun. That was memories in which I will never forget. Maple today just doesn't have that slow paced yet relaxing tension. :')
I used to remember in the old Maplestory, being a mage meant that you had to walk the furthest distance from Lith Harbor (no six-path crossway at that time). After trekking all the way, meeting cool people in cool places and finally reaching Ellinia for the first time, I swore that I walked into heaven. God bless all who have Maple in their hearts.
HHG ftw!1111111111 I remember working through levels 10-20 bottom to top with friends (and not getting kicked while leeching for eating with my family). If HHG was still here todayand the same scenario were to happen, they would've gotten to level 20 so fast they wouldn't need to kick me. If that got fixed, they would think i'm a waste of EXP and kick me
I can only listen to this up until the 0:30 until the nostalgia just overwhelms me. The low-level grinding at squishy tree, the clicking to get into Kerning PQ, and more importantly the joy when you level up. Here's to all who had MS as their childhood.
Wow quite the person you are, there was no need to mock about my comment. What an impetuous person you are. I have no desire to feel any jealously towards this game, Lol. You just got burned. In no way do I seem to look 10, this video is from 2008, so why would I ever leave such A comment ??
God I miss this so much. Back when the bottom of Perion on channel 1 was the place to be and the free market/3rd job didn't even exist yet. The memories :(
I used to love this game, then it got overflooded with 10 yr old kids who did nothing but spam nonsense and report everything and get people banned.. at least in the server I used to be in way back when, it's been so long I don't remember which server I was in.. gee wonder if I could log on that old account xD
This just sounds like home to me....i remember those days where i rush home from school and spend hours on maple,battling monsters,traveling to orbis, leveling up, discovering new maps, making friends and maple families! It's a shame that maple is hardly a friendly place anymore. Nostalgic memories. Remember those days where we could travel underwater or the days where we would joke about with our friends when we died together and became ghosts?
We should totally play again and make a guild called "Nostalgia" where we do what we did best.... ADVENTURING! PQING! CHILLING IN HENESYS. Hahahah. If you guys are down just message me or reply to this comment, I think my in-game name was... Sm3xyB34stxD on Bera or vEscapism on Windia.
My old guild that I spent countless hours with, I'm not sure where you guys vanished to so long ago, but if you're reading this, thanks for the great times, Maple will never be the same.
Game effectively ended after the Big Bang update. If you're interested in going through pretty annoying and sketchy sign up + download processes for private servers, you can get servers that are running the game just before the big bang update, totally worth it though. Even classic Maplestory, despite how grindy it was, is worth trying to get into. I tried it like a couple years back, and it's a complete clusterfuck of randomness. I mean, jeez, you encounter the golem enemies like 30~ minutes into gameplay, that's how crazy easy it was when I tried it again.
Nowhere near the same as it was almost 10 years ago, you could get to almost max level in the time span of two weeks, the community is dead like everybody became fucking anti-social, so party questing is hardly a thing, there were tons of changes to existing maps, and the game has like 27 different fucking classes, because from what I see that's all that comes out after a few months. The Adventurer classes have barely been playable due to the fact that Hero, Cygnus, and Resistance all outclass it any day apparently. I truly miss this game from way back when.
guy112ex YES THEY DID! They made the maple island looks like an island used to lock insanely bad-taste prisoners, and turned henesys and all towns into some crowded market, as much as we miss the old maple we have to accept it is one heaven we can never go back.
I really miss those old day that I was student and play maplestory without worry. But now I got a job to work and really feel upset and worried. sigh...really want to go back those happy days.
Even though I don't want to play Maplestory because of all the changes, after listening to this song, I remembered way back when I first started out as a magician because I always found them fascinating. I played as a cleric even though my brother teased me saying that they were useless but I still played it even though he said I was being stupid. After a while, I started to love it and I had gotten all the way up to the Priest. Every time I leveled, I felt the happiness of when I first started.
Maplestory Ct Maplestory? No, Lol. That game is gone. What they have now is rapestory,where the community is fucked and the game isfucked. nothig more2 say
2006 - 2008 player, man i loved that game. it brings back memories of friends i made, and the HOURS i would play this. Me and my brother fighting over the computer and being sad that we could never play together. getting to level 50 was like the best moment of my life xD
You know, I really don't know what it was about the old Maple, but it was so enchanting, engrossing, and just dang enjoyable! I spent hours upon hours exploring, questing, grinding, and never got the slightest bit bored. I just tried to play again today, and it's just so different. I literally am sad and extremely nostalgic because of how much I wish I could go back to the first days of Maplestory and enjoy it the same way I did then. It made me so happy to play.. Why does no game do that now?:(
whenever i'm bored--even in omega sector-- i would always come to ellinia just to hear this song. I still play maplestory but i cant help but cry every time i here this song. its the best maplestory's come up with i must say.

I wish I were 10 again. That moment when I first played this game.. I will never be able to feel that feeling again. Everything was innocent, life was an adventure, and I was curious as well as clueless. I used to wish that MapleStory were real only cause I was socially awkward in real life and lacked the confidence to talk to people. This game helped me grow up.

well said man, I had a nostalgia attack from listening to the music.. reminds me of all the times me and my buddies would play and grind kpq
it was really an adventure.. one of the most carefree, happy times of my life.
Sorry but reading your comment makes my chest hurt because it was my childhood too, it's been a decade now....
Damn man, that hit me so hard.
I remember those days. You'd play for hours on end. Morning to night, you don't even get a level.
Once you get to level, it's a milestone. You had everybody congratulating you for something that was so hard to achieve, yet so satisfying.
I still remember the era you were talking about. I believe I was 7. I remember my own account. Level 20. Everybody worked together, played together, talked to each other together.
Man, I'm almost tearing up writing this.
It had its time, and it was so worth it. Maple Story 2005 - 2008, you will never be missed.
i crai everytiem ;(
why can't i contain all these feels...
Miss this game so much... It will never be the same again, but the memories will last forever.
I can never get over my severe love and nostalgia for Maplestory.
No shame in admitting this game's soundtrack will always be my favourite. Started at the very beginning.
I'm now 26 with two children!
Prezzy Oxide I'm 27 and still remember these soothing tracks. :]
:)
This comment made me cry a bit, history and nostalgic stuff always makes me emotional, I hope you and your kids are doing great! (:

Just like us.
oh my gosh im gonna cry YOU'RE MAKING ME EMOTIONAL
I couldn't have said it better. Things change, but our of them memories won't, let's hope we remember only the good times we've had in MapleStory.
Not exactly...what quest do you need them for again?
Don't think I remember that...maybe I was too much of a noob back then haha.
You pretty much summed it up :) ahhhhhhhhhhh the good ol' days
You have been playing Maplestory for 3 hour(s). We suggest you take a break from Mapling.
+NearDiLewis I just noticed those messages are not appearing in-game anymore lol
ahahaha i miss those messages :'(
***** Same, but it's not like anybody cares about them :P We would just continue playing anyway XD
+NearDiLewis more like 12 hahaaaha
+NearDiLewis so you played maplestory more than 3 hour(s) without taking a break,
i too like to live dangerously :)
That feeling you get after reaching level 30 and becoming a cleric after months of kpq with buddies...
+Nicholas Tan PQ@@@@@@@@@@
Jeremy Kyle Spams the mouse button on that npc...
When you were so good at clicking into a PQ that people claim you're hacking. lol
Wished they still had Monster Carnival like it was then...I really enjoyed the hell out of that

The old Maplestory is the best
Never forget in my life
Crying so bad. MapleStory... 2004-2009, the best years of my life... the years of my childhood. :(
2007~2012 for me, this stuff tears me up lol
Here i am almost 20 looking back almost 10 years, these songs break me apart -_-
Ryan OhKay I'm 27 and still look back on these times. lol
I'm 19 and this just tears me up, maplestory was such a big part of my childhood
+Thomas Vervat same man
+Ryan OhKay - Too bad that the 49 million users of maple story did not initiate acting to establish a memorial site that includes melodies and views from the game with them we can do meditations, relaxations and guided-imagery to escape into the past.
interesting concept^
My childhood along with Runescape, Rumble Fighter and Lost Saga. No matter what I'll never re-live these years again, nothing is what it used to be.
+Magnus VonGrapple Same here! The good days are all gone
Ik this is like 7 moths ago but RF MS and Rs all day it's been 10 years but u can still play those 3
Yeah but it's not the same man, we're old and it won't be like it was those years ago.
I just want a time machine to play the old Maple Story =_=
Gajan Panchalingam Nah is not the same i did play there but not the same
Only if the reboot server was actually going back to the past.
Funny how I got to 170 in just a few days, then quit...
HcnMC but it does not feel the same =_=
So do I... But that's never gonna happen I guess... Unless playing private service
same I miss the old maplestory :(
What happened to that beautiful game ?
I bet, the most of you, me included, remember the good ol days.
You went to piggie peach, but not alone. Always with one in the party who was some levels higher than you to support you.
You ran around at LVL 15 and wore LVL 8 clothes, cuz you couldnt afford some mesos for armor.
You made quests because you knew thats some easy way to get some EXP.
You freaking raged at the jumping quests.
You used to say like: "CLERIC PQ PLS!"
You hit LVL 30 and became a new job and it totally was an achievement.
You had that one job, that class, that skill you always used to play and use.
You had your favourite city with their pretty own pretty beautiful theme song you used to chill like for me it was totally Ellinia. That music chilled me soooo hard.
You went crazy at "Arwen and the glass shoe" quest.
You was totally excited you arrived Ludi for the first time.
Your first boss was the slime king in Kerning PQ.
You never understood what GMS or JMS in Ludi PQ meant.
After you knew it, you felt like a reeeaal pro, to know what it meant, and what the different was.
You went crazy for that one weapon you saved your mesos all days.
You had to have some skills to become pretty strong and high LVL.
You had that one pretty special feeling after a full 4 hour leveling marathon and a LVL UP.
You chilled with your guild at the FM just to pose or talk or throwing stuff to that ol keeper right on his little own stage.
You went through the full FM, through every store, just to find that one little item you wanted soooo bad.
The highest throwingstars were Ilbis. And you felt preety awesome just throwing them at some random dudes, juuust to improve them. That was pretty me.
You used flashjump where ever you could and whenever you could. Little noobs went crazy for this jump.
You went crazy the first time you saw someone doing the flashjump.
You discovered the Cash Shop and went toootally insane for all that awesome stuff that they had right here.
You created your perfect wish list in it JUST with the hope, that someone sees it and says "hey dude, here." and bought you the stuff.
Your first time buying stuff in Cash Shop and i bet you got addicted to it just for a time. Someone longer, the other maybe not so long, but i know, we all took that step and got addicted to it (:
Maple Story, if you read that, i just wanna let you know, that i totally miss you. Where did you go ? You let us, the true maplers, down. You were such a beautiful game.
I really miss you. and i bet its not only me.
Damn...
i want back that good old day Maple Story.
haha i can find myself really good in it, i really miss those good old days
I think, or hope, that the most maplers can find themselves in this. in my case, this was literally me (:
But only the good old day maplers can find themselves in this. Sad truth that ne new maplers have it way too easy.
I hope, Nexon and Wizet bring back an old version for the true maplers out there, one day.
(:
I completely agree with this...
Couldn't agree more. That feel. Damn, I miss the good ol' days. That was really the Golden Age of MapleStory.
I agree with all of you guys. Good times indeed, the feels :(
Everytime I listen to this song, it ALWAYS brings me the nostalgic touchy feeling.I am so happy that many of you guys feel the same way... I want to go back :(
me too.miss you maplestory old:shadowze from israel. :-(
I'd always climb the rope at the beat to the song.
holy shit, i thought i was the only one
Hanitpal Singh Same here haha
TylerDaDragon holyshitsotrueHAHAHA
TylerDaDragon The funny thing was, it was always accidental. My movement was just always in synch.
HELL YEAH, THIS IS WHAT STARTED MY MAGE ADDICTION.
Same 😆 ice/lightning forever
The nostalgia makes me cry. T^T
I miss that game so much... What a wonderfull times...
Now, it isnt the same...
That makes me cry... T____T
Reminds me of those times I used to go to Ellinia to buy mana elixirs because they were cheaper there....
or to take a flight to Orbis....
Ahhhhhhh............................. Nostalgic goosebumps.............
+Ronteque also risking your noob life to see if the balrogs appear on the ship!
+Ronteque Remember when they boosted the cost to go to and fro orbis to 75k...like shit I couldn't afford that lol
+Dr. Cosmo Kramer went to orbis and stuck over there because you dont have meso to go back to maple island hahah
mard12086 ahahah do you remember when nexon raised the price of the ship b/w victoria island and orbis to 75k? I couldn't ven afford a trip!
This song... MANY MEMORIES... I Cry every time...
I remember leveling to 120 was one of the hell toughest thing to do,
I remember having a Steely is counted as god, having a Ilbi is counted as unbeatable, having a hwabi means you have connection with GM,
I remember having 5 party on Zakum and it took us 40 Minutes to down it
I remember HPQ, KPQ and MC,
I remember bathrobe with more than 20 dex, luk, int, str would fetch more than 1.5b
I remember there isn't cubing, enhancement system etc,
I remember it was about having fun, making friends, chilling and not about having the ambition to down bosses in less than 10sec
I remember and always will.
R.I.P old Maplestory.
and now nexon has ruined it totally and like every class can solo it in lvl 120-150 in 5 minutes xD
also lmpq
I revisit maplestory videos every 6 months and my heart just melts.. damn i miss this game so much, will always have a special place in my heart
ahh. The memories
TRUMPETS
Nostalgia. T_T
I loved you as a kid! Glad to see you're still doing well
I remember when I was younger, my brother and I would play Maple story all summer long until 3 in the morning. we had so much fun together, we were truely friends. But then my brother decided that he wanted to be social, so he started working out, rowing crew, and spending a lot of time with his friends from school.
This makes me cry a river. I remember those fun, long, summer nights that I truely had fun in. I must thank you maple story for those good years and for getting me through childhood.
Shedding manly tear of nostalgia!!!
I shed 1 tear that day
I miss my friends in MapleStory. MapleStory is a real world.
People say I'm stupid for saying Maple was a part of my life, but it was, and it is. And it will be for a long time. The friends you make on there make it all worthwhile, and I will never forget all the daft things we did and the friendships I made. I loved it. I remember when I started playing it, way back in 2005. Times have changed.
Not a big fan of mages, but ellinia has the best theme of all the other class-towns.
hi, when I hear this I just want to say that the old maplestory wasn't just a game. It was really a way of magic for me. I guess it's gone but lives through my heart somewhere. We all got this magic feeling from the old maplestory. It was a part of my grow- up.
Live and continue in peace!
Cheers
Don't get me wrong, I miss the old Maplestory too. The only reason why we're all feeling nostalgic is because of how we thought of Maplestory as a kid.
My heart melts everytime I hear this.. MS was such a big part of my childhood and I miss it so much.
2004~2008best years of my life. ㅠ.ㅠ
my too :.(
Sounds sad...
Wish I was a maple story player back then...
Cause I did not know about it till it was garbage maple story
Hey, I can only say that we all know the magic feeling that maplestory has given to us. Though it might be ruined these days, we can't bring it back. We have grown older, that magical feeling that we had in the old days will never feel the same. It is not bad that people create these old classic servers, but we can't change the way maplestory has changed. For all the changes that maplestory has done, I hope that this theme song for elinia will forever be the same.
Greetings Magical Maplers :)
The nostalgia from this song..... Ugh. My first char was an i/l mage
This song is a perfect representation of what my memories of Maplestory were. This game relaxed me, I had really, really good times, and it was possibly the most fun I've had playing any game ever. I played for 2006-2009. I yearn for the past. I wish there were some way that I could just go into the past for one week and play with all my old friends, do the Ludi PQ, grind on monsters, try to get to Zakum as a level 51...thank you, Maple, for all of these memories. Nothing will replace you.
My first ever Online Game, thumbs up if it was your too!
I feel the same as everyone else...I used to have great maplestory moments! Now its over. It makes me soo sad to listen to this song 7 years later...I'm 20 now and those years of maple were some of the best times I've ever had in my life...
//shot ... this hurts me D: The nostalgia is strong. My first character ever was a mage so I was definitely here a lot. Ahh.. pre BB..
Good times, the same happend to me =)
I agree, good.. good times.
Oh man, I wish I could.. but I have a feeling my father would kill me for trying to play any version of maplestory again xD
Man, same here. Used to be a Mage, since the release of MapleStory.
Miss the old thing a lot.
My RL husband and I are both mages. We started playing 6 years ago, LordDagnan and LadyDagnan. At our wedding we played the Ellinia Theme song instead of the wedding march. Thank you so much for posting this!
Im crying... maplestory... :(
You got it spot on. At least that's the element I miss most. The peaceful aspect of the game, it had a slower pace but a larger sense of freedom and self-direction. The screen wasn't covered in event markers, quests and things werent popping up on your character non-stop reminding you that there is stuff to do. If you wanted things to do you looked for it and found it yourself and it felt so much more rewarding that way. I didn't do it because I was told to, I did it because I wanted to.
Maplestory was best when it was just Wizet..for those of you old players :)
A lot of memories of this game...good times. Gah I miss the oldies :)
Honestly I feel as if this game is the epitome of my youth. I feel so blessed that I was able to experience this as a child. I have so much memories of this game. I'd spend countless hours with my friends exploring the maple world. Even now, 6 years later, I can still remember the happiness I felt every time I entered that world. So much has changed since that time, yet I am so glad that this game had such an impact on my life. I'll always remember those magical days.
this is probably the song that makes me cry the most, it takes me back to when i was really young. i think i was like 8 when i started playing and it sucks because i could not appreciate the game as much, being so young. I recently started playing again and yeah it was fun, but after a few weeks i got tired of it. Leveling is so easy. And why did they make one of my favorite maps in ludibrium, path of time require star force to fight the monsters? That is so annoying.
This takes me back omg. I used to play this from 2007-2009 :) I miss it so much...
The old days.... All passed
Man, those memories of middle school are coming back to me through this. Probably the only good thing that came out of those times, for me.
I haven't played this game in years! I sort of miss it.
I used to play this so much, with friends and groups, getting on every day. I woke up at 8:00 and played till 12:00 at night LOL. Leveling up my classes. After BB...however. Everything changed once the buff's attacked. Soloing Zakum at 120. Getting Godly Equips buy using real money. Pathetic. I can't believe how Nexon changed. I know it was for their fans... but.... come on. :(
Nexon is what ruined this game, if wizet still owned this game i guarantee it wouldnt be so much shitter :((
Hikari Shiowits ACTUALLY Wizet at least when NA servers launched was under Nexon, but with only financial cover probably. Now,yes...The grind disappeared but THAT WAS WHAT KEPT ME PLAYING. Now all that is left is music.
I would still play it if it wasn't for the god-awful optimization, even a core i5 with 16 gigs and a Titan user experiences the most hilarious lag you would ever seen in a town square, and it gets worse and worse every minute you stay there. And that's considered "normal" lag when compared to Free Market Channel 1. Enter that zone the equivalent would be to try and start Internet Explorer 6 with 20,000 toolbars... ON A 500Mhz CPU!
A long time ago, back when maple story was just the 4 classes, before guilds and the trade areas, I played with a trio of people who I enjoyed my time with immensely. ChawowaV2, Rumi and Megawarrior. 3 people who I've long since lost contact to, but will never forget the times we spent together. This song reminds me of them, bringing back nostalgia for the old days where we would explore, level and play together. Memories that I'll keep with me always.
fuck this was so tight back in the day, taking the ship in ellinia and dying to all the balrogs and having to wait on the boat to stop traveling to revive
Really going to cry...old maple is absolutely the best ever. Maplestory was the best thing during summer...
Maplestory....all those memories and time spent. It's pretty difficult to get back into it now, since it has changed drastically. Those of you who played maplestory in during the good times and stopped, what do you guys play now? Or did you drop the whole mmorpg?
i messed around on some rpgs but they arent as good as maplestory was. i basically just play osu and gmod now
***** FIRST and last? How'd you miss runescape?!
I'm still around, even on the new MS. Although, I get teary alot playing it.
im playing Tera NA right now... waiting for Black Desert and GTA5 PC
I thought it was just me, but yeah I can't really play any other mmorpgs. Maplestory is probably my first and last mmorpg. Not to say that I haven't tried other mmorpgs, like Aura Kingdom, TERA, Forsaken World, Perfect World, and plenty of other games.
Starting playing again today after a 4 year hiatus. So much nostalgia.
I might too.
i remember quitting runescape to play maplestory then quitting maplestory to play runescape lol. 2006-2008 memories....
I love this song. I played this for about 3 - 4 years. I still play it now. Before the big bang things were cool and fun and not as confusing. The song makes me feel happy and remind me of how I had so many good times
i was beside myself with joy when i hit 30 to get a second job magician advancement here T^T
Aw man, I remember hanging out here as a Bowman just for the music. I miss the old Maplestory on Scania and Khani servers. I have to old soundtrack somewhere I made just to keep the music i loved. I was in high school playing this 2004-2008. I miss it so much....
Ellinia music ❤️
Feels at peace hearing this
God damn Koreans stop with your musical talent it's making my ears turn into beautiful white doves!
LOL
miss you so much, Maple Story :(
Pan Lid! i miss u
Where have the times gone by? Nostalgia hit me like a train right there... The good memories I will probably remember for the rest of my life :) I remember I played so much that even though I was a mere lvl 42, I knew EVERYTHING there was to know about Maplestory... At the age of 8-11. Now I'm 15 and haven't been on Maplestory since. But that's ok, I want to treasure the memories of old MS! I wonder how my "bf" and my friends are doing now...
Maplestory was full of noobs back than, who couldn't solo bossess and get godly equips with godly ranges. I BET I CAN KS ALL OF YOU!!!
....
Is what someone would say if they never played before pre-bb.
I miss this game when it was simply played for adventures, partying with friends and randoms and becoming friends with them, chilling, pqing, and playing drop game :P
no matter how much the game changes, this music will always stay the same
2016, anyone?
+Aaron Fukuoka me
woo. im not the only one listening to this
+Aaron Fukuoka this actually my jam dude, what do you mean? i even set it as an alarm on my phone using the app Zedge.
+Aaron Fukuoka it's good, my friend.
the music purifies my stressful mind and its so nostalgic......forever
Back then when there wasn't even a third job. Used to walk round the map with my pals in a party, hunting down mobs, slacking away and having fun. That was memories in which I will never forget. Maple today just doesn't have that slow paced yet relaxing tension. :')
The feels; Any one from 2015?
Jep listening to this actually made me come back and download the game again today. :p
+Diitjeuh That new launcher is a pain though. ; - ;
Mary Jane Pfff took me like 4 hours downloading the game and getting it to work. Wtf xD
4 hours is a lot of time though, don't you think?
+Mary Jane do you get virus from that game? i used to get lots and then i rage quit lol
I used to remember in the old Maplestory, being a mage meant that you had to walk the furthest distance from Lith Harbor (no six-path crossway at that time). After trekking all the way, meeting cool people in cool places and finally reaching Ellinia for the first time, I swore that I walked into heaven.
God bless all who have Maple in their hearts.
Does anyone remember Henesys hunting ground? Omg
HHG ftw!1111111111
I remember working through levels 10-20 bottom to top with friends (and not getting kicked while leeching for eating with my family). If HHG was still here todayand the same scenario were to happen, they would've gotten to level 20 so fast they wouldn't need to kick me. If that got fixed, they would think i'm a waste of EXP and kick me
I still play the game to this day! Always have loved it always will.
Here I am again, 2 years later, still playing it
i swear there is a god damn ninja chopping onions somewhere near by... :'(
+1, this made me cry over 30 times already
I can only listen to this up until the 0:30 until the nostalgia just overwhelms me. The low-level grinding at squishy tree, the clicking to get into Kerning PQ, and more importantly the joy when you level up. Here's to all who had MS as their childhood.
Hi 7 year old ........
Hi 100,000,000 year old, your probaly ten really arent you? Jealous of maple story? Heh?
Wow quite the person you are, there was no need to mock about my comment. What an impetuous person you are. I have no desire to feel any jealously towards this game, Lol. You just got burned. In no way do I seem to look 10, this video is from 2008, so why would I ever leave such A comment ??
Ameya Shahane Woah, just take it easy man
Lol, im fine.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you ...
two kids arguing for literally no reason!
this is amazing. thanks so much for posting this. i really do miss playing this game. a lot. wish i could go back ...
A nostalgia trip, right in the dick.
God I miss this so much. Back when the bottom of Perion on channel 1 was the place to be and the free market/3rd job didn't even exist yet. The memories :(
Now there is 5th job!
i was 8/9 when i started playing it .-. haha omg
5/6 for me
6-7Gor mwa
Daniel Jung when im playing other games, i put maple story songs playlist :)
When i play other games i put music by tobu
ellinia was always my favorite song. brings back such good memories
Dun the coming RED PATCH dare change Ellinia's theme...
All those years ago...the one song that still gets a tear from my eye.
I used to love this game, then it got overflooded with 10 yr old kids who did nothing but spam nonsense and report everything and get people banned.. at least in the server I used to be in way back when, it's been so long I don't remember which server I was in.. gee wonder if I could log on that old account xD
Even at it's social peak, MS was full of 10 year olds. It's not an influx of kids, but a change of attitudes.
This just sounds like home to me....i remember those days where i rush home from school and spend hours on maple,battling monsters,traveling to orbis, leveling up, discovering new maps, making friends and maple families! It's a shame that maple is hardly a friendly place anymore. Nostalgic memories. Remember those days where we could travel underwater or the days where we would joke about with our friends when we died together and became ghosts?
We should totally play again and make a guild called "Nostalgia" where we do what we did best.... ADVENTURING! PQING! CHILLING IN HENESYS. Hahahah. If you guys are down just message me or reply to this comment, I think my in-game name was... Sm3xyB34stxD on Bera or vEscapism on Windia.
hah ha yea man
I'd be down for this... if I wasn't 11 months late to the reply. lol
***** Squishy Blob Hahaha im downloading it right now! :D
connorXD ***** Im downloading it right now hahaa
My old guild that I spent countless hours with, I'm not sure where you guys vanished to so long ago, but if you're reading this, thanks for the great times, Maple will never be the same.
i played maple 2013 to 2014 then i quit i dont know if i should play it again or not
what do u guys think?
Maplestory is crap nowadays, they added way too many overpowered classes and basically ruined the game.
thats actually true
Game effectively ended after the Big Bang update. If you're interested in going through pretty annoying and sketchy sign up + download processes for private servers, you can get servers that are running the game just before the big bang update, totally worth it though. Even classic Maplestory, despite how grindy it was, is worth trying to get into. I tried it like a couple years back, and it's a complete clusterfuck of randomness. I mean, jeez, you encounter the golem enemies like 30~ minutes into gameplay, that's how crazy easy it was when I tried it again.
You should come back on reboot world. I enjoy playing maplestory for 1 month with V update. You willn't regret
Damn this always gets me right in the feels, I miss this game, I know it's still around, but it's just not the same as it was with only 4 classes.
I haven't played this game in years, but what happened to it now?
Nowhere near the same as it was almost 10 years ago, you could get to almost max level in the time span of two weeks, the community is dead like everybody became fucking anti-social, so party questing is hardly a thing, there were tons of changes to existing maps, and the game has like 27 different fucking classes, because from what I see that's all that comes out after a few months. The Adventurer classes have barely been playable due to the fact that Hero, Cygnus, and Resistance all outclass it any day apparently. I truly miss this game from way back when.
PrincessBadButt didn't they buff adventurers?
PrincessBadButt Not only that, but they've also violated the good ol' explorers!
Fuck you Nexon!
guy112ex YES THEY DID! They made the maple island looks like an island used to lock insanely bad-taste prisoners, and turned henesys and all towns into some crowded market, as much as we miss the old maple we have to accept it is one heaven we can never go back.
I really miss those old day that I was student and play maplestory without worry. But now I got a job to work and really feel upset and worried. sigh...really want to go back those happy days.
Who has made their first character here? XD
I made mah first char in pirate
Even though I don't want to play Maplestory because of all the changes, after listening to this song, I remembered way back when I first started out as a magician because I always found them fascinating. I played as a cleric even though my brother teased me saying that they were useless but I still played it even though he said I was being stupid. After a while, I started to love it and I had gotten all the way up to the Priest. Every time I leveled, I felt the happiness of when I first started.
How to download maplestory
How?
Maplestory Ct Maplestory? No, Lol. That game is gone. What they have now is rapestory,where the community is fucked and the game isfucked. nothig more2 say
i always came for the music and stayed for the music AND comments/personal stories ;)
LOL DRAKE IS SO MUCH BETTER, HAVE YOU EVER LISTENED TO HOTLINE BLING
2006 - 2008 player, man i loved that game. it brings back memories of friends i made, and the HOURS i would play this. Me and my brother fighting over the computer and being sad that we could never play together. getting to level 50 was like the best moment of my life xD
You know, I really don't know what it was about the old Maple, but it was so enchanting, engrossing, and just dang enjoyable! I spent hours upon hours exploring, questing, grinding, and never got the slightest bit bored. I just tried to play again today, and it's just so different. I literally am sad and extremely nostalgic because of how much I wish I could go back to the first days of Maplestory and enjoy it the same way I did then. It made me so happy to play.. Why does no game do that now?:(
This was the theme that actually got me into Maple. This was also the first town I ever got lost in...
whenever i'm bored--even in omega sector-- i would always come to ellinia just to hear this song. I still play maplestory but i cant help but cry every time i here this song. its the best maplestory's come up with i must say.
Almost bursted out crying when hearing this…
Recalling memories
