who quests for exp or money in maplestory in 2019?
PQs are dead because they work exactly as they used to, the rewards they give didn't keep up with the times.

>who quests for exp or money in maplestory in 2019?
Nobody because you get everything for free so nothing matters except spamming button 1 and clicking 'teleport'.

>all simultaneously awakening from a long slumber somehow
To be fair they were all sealed at the same time from the same spell, but in reality they don't all wake up at the same time. In the lore too

I don't understand what you're doing, clearly I play and I know that isn't true, and clearly you know that isn't true it is an exaggeration, not an argument meant to change my opinion, nor do you seem open to the idea that what you think the game isn't like isn't what it is actually like

If you got "everything for free" then everyone would be soloing everyboss, up to and including the black mage

Old Maplestory was also bad because the grind was interminable and painful and long. There's a balance, and they never struck it.

Where did it all go wrong for Reboot?

When the PQ was added to the game, long before those glasses, it was the best way to level without getting bored
Also the glasses were good before the game got completely broken

I just wanna play an mmo to make buddies again. Is maplestory still good for that?
I miss the forced wait for airships before they added the faggotplanes. Those were probably the most fun I had messing around with people

when reboot got popular instead of dying like it did in kms. rebooters are an arrogant bunch who believe the game wouldn't exist without them, while at the same time believing they give nexon less money than regular servers under the guise of being f2p.

Maplestory is not a good fit for that, unless you like joining discords outside of the game as the primary means of communicating with people in your server/guild

It was never good by itself, but the early internet aspect made it the best MMO by far for the MMO experience, party quests were fun as fuck in the early days

>have a group of two-dozen or so IRL friends to play maple with
>anyone who wasnt within our immediate circle was an outsider who should be trolled or KSed
making internet friends is pretty cringe tbhaych

MEPPURU STOLIIII

Remember arriving at Lith Harbour from Maple Island? Just starting your adventure? Not realizing all the friends you're about to make? The locations you would traverse? The quests you would complete?

> everyone would be soloing everyboss
I.e. what everyone is doing
> up to and including the black mage
No because pure statcheck bosses with 0 thought.

True, but there is some calm and quiet in the endless grind which is attractive to certain crowds. NuMS has nothing. Even ADD kids can't play it for long.

post your 10k legion

This game was shit all you did was grind and everyone used hacks and bots.

everyone does not solo every boss, powerful people solo every boss, because powerful people got their stuff the hard way. if it was in any way "free" then everyone would be soloing every boss not just the powerful players.

a completely inferior game to runescape
