If Nexon made an OldSchool Maplestory server, would you play it?

I'd play an old-school server if it had all the new classes

Osrs is really fucking popular though. Obviously the community isn't the exact same because back then everyone was a retarded kid. But it's still clearly a compelling game. I think classic wow will be the same. It'll obviously die off when people are done with the content but if they do what osrs did and add more content that the community likes, it can be successful.

>Osrs is really fucking popular though
The community is shit, it's either autists larping as RS oldfags or kids following their favorite streamers and both of these are absolutely obsessed with RS3, they literally can't stop being mad at it

>it's still clearly a compelling game
It's got way too far away from what runescape was supposed to be in 2007, and that makes it worse

>A well articulated response
You're not even remotely as intelligent as you think you are, my underage friend.

>OSRS is really popular
it's not. It's profitable, but it's got a significantly lower number of unique players than total ones. EVERYONE alts on osrs, sometimes 3 or 4 accounts. It's disgusting.

Sorry, I've just seen you make this thread before and it's sort of embarrassing for you to dismiss every complaint about oldschool MS as from a zoomer.

I'm sure you'll be plugging your oldschool private server any hour now though, right?

>0 argument
You're not helping your case

No, because playing the old school ms private server made me realize how shit the game is. I no longer miss it.

There already exists servers with the absolute oldschool type of play but I don't want exactly that

I want classes like Aran, Evan, Mechanic, Cannoneer, Wild Hunter, Battle Mage and Demon Slayer to be in the game, have their affiliated areas and quests exist, but otside that, keep the base game in the oldschool state, I hate how they changed the old maps to be shorter, years of remembering each area and suddenly you don't know where to go.
What killed the game for me was when they added these dumb anime screams and shouts to the character's attacks.

I also want the game to be ALIVE. What makes me sad is to go Henesys Hunting Ground 1 and not have hundreds of noobs killing slimes, mushrooms and snails.

I think the classes are mechanically more fun to play now than they ever were, most have at least some mobility options and gimmicks that make them unique to everyone else.
The whole game is just a potential rolling simulator though, and the community consists of people silently doing dailies to rack up the contribution to maybe get carried for a hard boss so that they too can get slightly bigger numbers.

>Could it revive that magic feeling?
No. Internet has changed.

It's time to remember.

Sure you might not like it and neither do I honestly but a lot of people seem to like it. Whereas this might be true, didn't really think of that. I don't really know what the numbers are on that but yeah that would skew the numbers.

You sound upset, idiot.

MMOs a thing that could only exist in a certain time and era of the internet. All that people want to do in MMOs now is play it by themselves and never interact with anyone else.

MAPURUSTORII

This thread is not what I expected, bit I guess I should have seen it coming from the last few ms/mmo-nostalgia threads I caught. You guys are right. Fuck. I don't want to go on anymore.

Anyone remember this?

so you want bigbang(legends was pure cancer and the real downfall fuck those 3 cancer classes) content in an older version ya its been done a bunch of times

Are there any good private servers yet?

You guys *think* you want oldMS back, but you really don't. The game now is way better than it was. Yeah sure you had community, but as far as content goes, MS is better now. Plus you can still make friends today, so I dont see why you'd wanna go back.

Youd probaby hate oldMS in a few days anyways. Go play an oldschool server, see how long you last. The people who have been playing wont stop but the people who complain are just looking thru nostalgia glasses.

It's a lot harder to make friends now that everyone is capable of it outside the game itself and so usually plays in closed off groups. That's really what people want from maplestory, a game so grueling that people can't help but talk to each other and have no other way to do it than ingame.

>Yeah sure you had community
That's all people really want, and something your precious nuMaple will never be able to achieve.

Do you guys not know how to make friends?

You sound like that one guy from Blizzard, user

Look, I know you're a zoomer, but you're missing the point.

You didn't play old Maplestory, so you don't actually know what the community was like. Best you don't discuss things you don't understand. That being said, you're probably one of those idiots who has too much pride to admit otherwise.

Stay retarded user

Speaking of nuMaple, is the whole game still a massive P2W gacha or had that been fixed? I remember when I was checked in a couple years or so ago it seemed a little better than how it was back in 2010.
I know being f2p the whole pay to roll for godly gear will always exist or spend tons of time trying to save up a measily amount of money for good stuff but I felt like Maple always was especially bad.
Hell, I loved the game but could never get decent gear because of I could only save 10m mesos max.

I miss it. God I wish I took screenshots.

No, nothing can. Try replaying any game from your childhood and see it doesn't hold up.

>no argument
No problem, underage idiot.

Nothings changed. There's no way nexon would remove their biggest money maker just so players would be happy. Normal servers are p2w and reboot's grind to win. if you wanna enjoy maplestory you might aswell either buy an account or a bot.

>Could it revive that magic feeling?

No. Because after playing Maplestory for so long you start to realize it was specifically designed around its Korean monetization. Old maple also feel unfinished and unrefined.

one of my favorite moments playing MS was getting 3rd job as an i/l mage and using ice strike for the first time.

It's funny cause the korean version has the least p2w bullshit and most ways to get maple points/nx for free out of any version of the game.
Also the most stable economy.

>the korean version has the least p2w bullshit

They just added more cubes in the KR version. Stop lying.

>they added more cubes
no they didn't.
violet cubes only exist in tms, and gms, and jms.
no pottable badges in kms
no totems in kms (that means no frenzy either)
no marvel in kms, no firestarter in kms, no lucid earrings in kms, no mobvac claw in kms, no kanna in kms.

oh and no fucking breath of divinity in kms either, cheat items don't exist, you have to actually get good.
and even STILL, they beat black mage before gms.

Why does nexon treat GMS like dog shit? Why not just use KMS' code base and translate it to english instead of this dog shit we got

youtube.com/watch?v=v-GtLObPoto

If it had 1x rates fucking no, but if they made something like 3x or 5x I would play it no doubt.

The most fucked up thing in modern MapleStory are the fucking numbers, you deal so much damage like 84561984194 that you can't tell how much is that just by looking, it's fucking ridiculous.
Back then you could at least tell when your damage went up just by looking at the numbers

because gms isn't profitable enough without having assloads of shit for people to whale on like frenzy and bod. So instead of making it an enjoyable game that anyone c an play, you have to spend $10,000 to increase the spawn rate to a manageable level if you don't want to buy another pc to constantly have a kanna up your ass.

What ever happened to the MapleMS Yea Forums guild?

it died after a week, like literally every other Yea Forums guild any time there's one made. People don't like the fucking ridiculous amount of grind, once they realize there's no real socialization going on and they hit level 50-70 they just stop logging on.

Early Maplestory was shit, I don't know what kind of autist enjoyed 7.5% exp/hr

Then explain why the Royals guild in 2015 was so successful?

It wasn't, and it tanked and was filled with anyone who applied because no one Yea Forums was left in it after a month besides the leader. Or are you going to pretend that wasn't the case? The owner had to go on the forums and cry and beg because people from Yea Forums were hacking and botting cause it was boring, so they just disbanded the guild entirely. It got remade, and he started inviting any normalfag into it.

They already tried that with Reboot.
It died after a month.
There's no reason for them to waste resources on something than less than half-assed like Reboot was.
Just play the flavor of the month private server until admin drama inevidently gets the server shut down while lying to the community saying it was Nexon DMCA

>reboot died
not really true now is it

>reboot died after a month
retard, it's literally the most populated server on GMS

It lasted 3 months with like 50 online at one point. That is 100% a success.

You sound salty.

>The owner had to go on the forums and cry and beg because people from Yea Forums were hacking and botting cause it was boring
Well, that's one way of admitting you weren't a part of it, and that you're a complete liar.

>They already tried that with Reboot.
No they didn't you stupid idiot. Reboot has always been modern Maplestory, never oldschool.

Why is nuMaple so edgy?

user you just proved his point
the community was much better back then, but they've grown up
If you were to put them back into oldschool maplestory they would most likely hate it

>dumb anime screams
the voice acting is so bad its funny
I think you can turn it off in the settings by turning off "skills" audio

Maplestory was always shit.

>replay Castlevania SotN
>Is just as good as I remember it being
Eat shit SotN will NEVER get old, it ages like fine wine.

Yes but it would have to be no later than when they added that Japanese area.

So, how is the New Maple story? is it too grindy? does it have people? do I have to pay for a subscription or something or is it free?

Everyone plays Reboot, which is Maplestory without any trading and minimal Pay2Win.

It's got way more content and feels more fun to play, but there are like 50 classes now, and they all feel kind of samey to play. Every class has mobility, a flash jump, a single-target hitting move and a mobbing move.

If you check it out, join the guild Archived. It's Yea Forums

Last time I played was like 2 years ago. If you're a returning player or you make a new character or select one as your "main character", well with all these you can stack a 500% exp gain and make it to level 130 in 3 days. Also EVERY old area is fuckin' barren and doesn't look the same, and everyone is fucking off in a school anime storyline in a single-player adventure realm, or doing weird party quests with their discord buddy, with said party quest being even less of a puzzle than Kerning city PQ.

Can we all agree old maplestory had more soul?

>130 in 3 days
Lmao
These days if you get giga burning or whatever you can go 1 to 200 in an afternoon, the grind of maplestory now comes from the dailies and making a million characters.

I 'member being a retarded little child and just rushing through kerning city low level thinking i could get away with it and i got stuck there.
i made a new character JUST to get a teleportation map or whatever and somehow get it to my original character and somehow still couldnt get out using it.
good times...

Probably not, what Nexon has done has irreparably fucked the game and severed the community. Not to mention that would ONLY appeal to the people who grew up in 2005, who have jobs and lives nowadays and can't spend 16 hours a day grinding in MS.
I'd love it, but it's just not feasible

I also got stuck in that place, somehow managed to go back to Henesys and became a bowman.

Yes

it would be awesome for the first month but go downhill but i would still enjoy the first month

It's difficult to say just how many people would play an official old school maplestory server, but all one has to do is look at the provate server community to see where the interest in the game lies.
Nearly every pserver is pre-bigbang.

It wont make you relive the magic you felt as a kid, but there's clearly still something to it that keeps people coming back.

Are you sure?

Nah. Your casual deflection of any criticism shows you are too emotionally attached to a shitty game.
Lol

Some of the private servers have been really fucking good. There was one ages ago where monsters would drop appropriate cash shop items, so if you wanted a white wolf hat you'd have to travel to El Nino or whatever it was called and killed white wolves for a while. Added some flavor to grinding and forced you to explore.

With like 5-10x rates on exp and stable servers the game would be perfect. But if it's v62 or whatever you gotta nerf mages cross-map spells and fix leeching.

is mapleroyals safe

It's dead.

>You will never go back to 6th grade and play Maple Story Beta with your bros

I'd kill to go back for just one day.

This x100. 15 years ago was a different world. Everyone was so innocent and curious. People were very formal in MMO's. It's all lost.

>hit lvl 25 thief

What criticism? You're just an idiot with an agenda.

I'd go there just to see the places full of people. I'd listen to the old songs. Then I'd log out and never return.

Remember starting out as a Mage with your fellow low level magebros?
