Remember the good old days of playing Maplestory in 2007?

Imagine playing World of Borecraft instead of Priston Tale, MapleStory, Ragnarok Online, and a couple others.

Elsword is better

No, I played Runescape and Counterstrike back then. Only person I knew who played Maplestory was a Philipino schoolmate who also played Counterstrike.

I miss the days when everyone had a fucking free to play mmo, and they were all decently populated.
mmo's were better when they were 2d.

>He isn't playing maplelegends for the classic nostalgic experience that fades after level 40
NGMI.

the main theme always gets me in tears everytime I go back I play for an hour before realizing how shit it really is and just let the good memories rest

imagine playing the same game for 18 years

I did and it was glorious. Wow ruined the genre

>Not playing Mabinogi instead

Kek, I never met someone who played vanilla WoW who wasn't a turbo autist. That applied to RL friends and guild mates. Maplestory had a better player base.

Time for your nostalgia pills

>wanting to play the clunky ass old game with shitty leveling pacing and no end game

No thanks. Talking to strangers online lost its charm a while ago.

>Not playing Combat Arms instead

>translation: I was a poorfag and had a potato PC at the time

>paying a monthly fee to play
lol retard

Jesus I have so many sweet memories about maple story, all that fucking grinding and I was happy
Life was simple as fuck, father didn't drop us yet, mother used to smile...shit fuck you

Baby now remembers Gaia Online! Aawwwww, why don't you come here and play with your old Gaia account?

That's why you gotta stop at level 40. The game is absolute shit if you play any longer then that

It was super easy to mess up your character back in 2007. Long term issues without even knowing it. However, that didn't really matter with the people you played with. So many of the items were fun to have and find.

The game now is so barren. Guilds are really the only community, effectively clusters. Why train with other people, you lose out on exp. Why fight bosses together, you should focus on soloing it. Make 40 characters get them to 210 only to have 1 have slightly more damage.

Damage used to be capped. Big Bang was not the problem. Hidden Potential was the problem that ruined the game.

Do you remember that feeling? That feeling when you boot up the game and login?

I heard they made a bunch of content that was previously subscription content for free now. I actually did try it a year ago and it was kind of a slog.

I was addicted to nexon games back then

>ywn watch balrogs tear retards to shreds on the flying ship that took you to the party quest in the legoblock place
i remember people would just afk on the top side of the ship and trolls would summon a bunch of monsters to kill afk players so that they would respawn on the mainland and have to pay for a ship ticket again. god the memories.

Fun memories but holy shit the grind. Me and my friends almost wasted an entire summer grinding.

Remember that feeling of arriving at Lith Harbor for the first time?
Remember being filled with that sense of adventure?
Remember feeling excited for the journey you were about to embark on? The friends you would meet? The memories?

you just unlocked memories I didn't know I had

Hunter, eventually moved to crossbowman when creating a new character and rolled 12/5 dex/str, I also found a +7 battle crossbow (60%'d) for 200k in the free market, got it to around level 90, got a dawn warrior 100, years later I got a mercedes as my first 4th job, and later 5th job when it released. I'm level 244 at the moment on that same mercedes

I've played on and of for more than half my life.

post mushroom

good memories with this game desu
hanging out in kerning city and watching the people drop rare items and watching them cope after some chad swoops it up
good times..

It's crazy how many MMOs existed, came and went and imploded or got eaten alive by WoW between the mid 00s and mid to late 10s before MOBA shit and eventually fortnite all but consumed any chance for getting a new newfag surge for MMOs.

Since odds are this is likely the only chance for some of you to bring it up, what are some MMOs you played that stuck with you even today, even if most likely not that many played it or it wasn't a typical MMO?

I do and it got way too grindy when you hit level 30. And this is coming from someone who played Tibia. Grinding in MMO's is the worst thing you could ever do with your spare time.

Age of Wushu was awesome. The combat in that game felt really satisfying and the lotus palm combo was just fucking stupid good at juggling people to death.

>eaten alive by WoW
I'm relatively sure that maplestory still maintains a larger playerbase than WoW does. It really only 'died' overseas and even then it's not exactly dead. The people going 'remember maplestory' are more akin to veteran WoW players waxing nostalgic for pre-cata.

How many of you actually played in the 2005 days?

It was too big. Climbing the tower was a fucking awful experience. And while descending into forgotten time was an acceptable walk, navigating the factory assembly lines was an abysmal experience. But the worst part was the fact you had to walk five entire fucking maps to even get to the tower from fresh off the boat.

That's exactly how I look but with a worse hairline. How did you know?

what happened to it?
