Remember the good old days of Maplestory? Remember all those friends you had? The music? The simpler times...

yeah i actually think of oldschool MS a lot and how my life back then was so much better, every day after school my friends would get home and hop online. i would spend hours and hours on the weekend playing it, it was a very unique experience that you just had to be there to enjoy it

now i listen to the OST a lot and cry

dude your cringe comment is cringe on youtube and cringe here. dilate caic.

Pc game somethingsomething never played it, iunno. Was probably working some crap job and playiiiiiinnnnggggggggg ps2 at the time

What if Yea Forums tried to make a private server for the millionth time

>remember all those friends you had
no

*uses cheatengine to suck everything on the map into the corner*

nothing personal, grinders

Yes, for the nth time, I still remember

For me it was Mabinogi.

You will never get another good private server guild, madwolf. You will be forever alone.

>are you Israeli
This always cracks me up, when I played it I used to live in Israel but I don't recall ever asking people that but not too surprised that a lot of players have. MS was super popular in israel around 2006ish, its a lot of people's forst ever MMO cause no one's mommy or daddy ever paid subscriptions for video games.

>make
Why would you say this? Yea Forums isn't capable of making one. Too much Java knowledge is required, along with understanding of large scale networking.

Maybe Yea Forums could play another private server, but I'm not motivated to try. No good servers.

That was a really fun experience

I believe Yea Forumsfags hosted a few over the years

i remember the music and simpler times, but the playerbase was shit
it was just a good world to explore

Dumping some old pics from the Tiger era (2006-2008) if anyone is interested. I won a GM event in this pic, GMHershey did a server blast for first people to solve his riddle and first people to find where he was standing won access to the special jump quest pq. 26th June 2007

First character was a ghetto nigger thief with like 12 points in doublestab and 8 in lucky 7. Used an axe because i knew fuck all about the game and just figured lucky 7 was something about crits and doublestab was doing double damage. Maxed darksight and traveled all the way to where the big ass purple lizards were in sleepywood dungeon before i died then i was stuck in sleepywood forever and just made a new character because i couldnt be assed to leave

Heres one more pic from the GM event, I asked GMJudgement to warp me to maple island after the event so I could fuck with noobs but he declined.

No, that was just one person hosting with a publicly available source.

All public sources are shit and will choke with more than 50+ players.

This pic is my wedding to Dinalle (Kittyz0r's alt) who was supposedly Tigers IRL friend. The Dinalle account was banned a couple days later for botting lol, I never re-married.

8th Oct 2007 for the wedding according to photobucket timestamps. I didn't believe her that she knew tiger until I got a PM with her and Tiger, I was only like 12 so I was just freaking out and didn't really say anything.

I still wake up to Maplestory music as my alarm, sometimes nostalgia sadness hits me hard doing that but that's alright

these are actually cool nostalgia pics, keep em coming

which song do you use?

Wound up getting an autographed spear from Tiger, but sold it when I quit. Its probably still out there somewhere. Sorry Kittyz0r :)

Why don't modern games have soulful UIs anymore, it's getting fucking depressing. I get whiplash whenever I see an old game from the 2000's and the charm is so palpable and then looking at modern 2020's corporate Apple iGames with their hypersimplistic scifi menus

Maple was the game that got me to just outright drop out of middle school and I had to deal with constant physical abuse from both my parents because they wanted me to be a functional member of society/didn't want me homeschooling myself. Their desperate attempts to get my bullied ass back to school are cute in recollection, but living it in the flesh was actually pretty traumatizing, so I definitely don't feel that cozy nostalgia most do. I remember the day they gave up and just let me use the PC again, first time I did was log on back to my account and ignore the creeping emptiness just on the back of my head. It never left.

Got my Zakum Helm with Vengence, 8th Oct 2007. Im actually on my mule, you had to pay Vengence and give them your acct info to get a helm on Scania back in the day. Had a guy sitting and holding between runs. Part of the reason the entire guild got banned and was disband actually. Side story, I was a little shit script kiddy who had a pincracker. I made friends with some of the Vengence guys who gave me their spreadsheet of accounts they ran zakum helms for. A lot of them didnt have access to the email so they couldnt change pass only pin. I stole a top 500 account after finding an exploit in the old maplestory website where if you go to reset your pass and forget your email, it would literally autofill the email used to register the account, from that I was able to get into many emails because they had the same password as the maple account. Easily cracked 50+ accounts made off with probably 2x max mesos at the time. Pretty sure most of the spoils went to SleepyDay as he was running the guild at the time.

Private servers basically show how effective nostalgia can mask the shit that was old Maplestory. Also, the vast amount of private servers out there means that the already niche community of maplestory PS users are even more spread out, amplifying the last point I made by 10.

*puts a weight on Z key and stands under you*
not my problem.
*reports you when Inventory gets full*

YAS SIS! THEY STUPID 'CUZ DEY DONT PLAY MAPLSTORY!! XDDD I AM TEH P3NGu1N 0F D00M!!!

>>No one socializes in game
>>Basically a singleplayer game for 90% of the experience

thats true for private servers now, OG maplestory was a huge social game though.

You are a bad person.

good for listening to audiobooks or podcasts

MS was essentially a digital crack dispensary mixed with a Gaia clone chatroom (that blended pretty nicely into the skinner box design through swag). It's why people remember it so fondly: the social experience of an IRC server or a forum is key to it.
But kids socializing that way is a thing of the past. It's also why MMOs nowadays only live as cat girl ERP societies locked behind subscriptions.

Ragnarok Online sucked shit just like Maplestory but the social experience was pretty decent still. I think Merchants are cool though, you should have been able to setup shops in maps near popular dungeons like in Tree of Savior

What was like like being OG Scaniafag? I don't think I ever played in a server that wasn't WIndia
