Ugh, the one thing I hated about the game. Everyone was poor unless you were good at merching (which wasn't me..) Literally the only reason I stopped playing original maplestory is because I reached level 12x and could no longer afford the potions to play lol -.- Although to be fair I could've farmed some bosses with a guild but it was about that time that maple started undergoing some really big changes...

Honestly, the best part about old maplestory was that each job class had their own unique skill that other classes didnt have. thieves had flash jump and haste for mobility. Bandits were the only class who could hit multi line. Warriors had Rage and hyperbody. Since warriors didnt have any mobility, they had to get a piggy mount lol. mages had amazing AoE attack. Bishop with heals. Bowmasters were the only class with super attack speed. Now thats all gone. I dont know what nexon were thinking when they decided to give every class a haste, flashjump, rage, etc. The unique skills that each class was perfect imo. If nexon ever does decide to make a old school maplestory server, i'd def come back

Unique skills, unique players, unique well-known heroes in the world. The game marinated. It was slow, but it burned with passion. I remember being on the boat or plane or train as well. Striking up a conversation with a high level player, who then added me and served as a valuable connection later on in my quest in the game. It's little things like this that made the game amazing. It was an actual.... story.

I think one of the biggest changes to the game has been how the game's platforming works. At 4:20 (lol) on the right that player jumps off the rope, punches the slime to knock it back, and then jumps over so they wouldn't fall off the edge of the platform. That kind of thing doesn't happen anymore. Making sure you don't fall off the edge of a platform used to be a core part of the game. It would waste a lot of time and you could end up taking a lot of damage or even fall to your death into a pit of golems while going from Henesys to Sleepywood. Lots of classes now have some stance and most warriors and pirates have 100% stance. Even if you fall in modern maps it's usually just a little annoying and you vertical jump or teleport back to where you were immediately. It doesn't really matter anymore where your character is in relation to the mobs or how many mobs there are around you. Platforming has also been greatly simplified because of the simplified map structure. Almost all the new maps and all the maps that were reworked in the Victoria Island map update now have large, flat, easy to navigate platforms. The terrain is regular and the platforms are smooth. Navigating the maps used to take some skill or at least a great deal of caution if you were lower level than the mobs.

I had an Ice light mage level 41. With magic claw I used to hit two lines of 300 each, but then I saw for the first time an assassin training and hitting two lines of 450, dude that made me mad because I'd invested so much time in that char, and seeing someone "effortlessly" hitting way more than me was inadmissible. Good old days.

I feel like general accessibility is the biggest change over the years and includes most of the thing you mentioned in the video. I played maple for the first time before the introduction of things like the Cygnus knights and 4th job, and even if you were willing to spend some cash on nx to buy items it was still very difficult to progress and feel like you were actually strong. I remember pretty clearly my first ever character, dex-less assassin, and finally reaching 3rd job and feeling like I’d finally be really powerful with the shadow clone so I could hit a monster for four lines. Only to my dismay I found that I needed large stacks of summoning stones to actually use my 3rd job skill, and summoning stones were already difficult to farm and really expensive at the free market. The summoning stones really broke me down, after spending all this money trying to get good equips and throwing stars, mana potions were expensive back then too and did t drop from monsters, and then on top of this I needed the summoning stones to use and important 3rd job skill. These days getting to level 200 and getting 5th job is relatively easy even for brand new players, every class has strong and useful skills to help them progress, potions are so frequent and plentiful from monsters and especially gollux that running out is practically impossible, and it’s easy to acquire and upgrade equipment decently enough to get you to 5th job and sustain you through the early part of the arcane river. Further upgrading equipment may be more difficult but is 100% feasible even without spending any of your actual money. Finally, even though most people just power grind their characters to get to the arcane river there’s still tons of quests to do if you wanna just have some fun on the side or explore more of the game. In my opinion it really is a much friendlier experience overall to everyone.

The game has become way easier and way less social in my opinion. I was among the first waves of people hitting level 200 in bera, in the year following fangblade getting there. It took insane effort. I played every single day and when I wasn't playing, my shop was open. I recently came back after many years of hiatus and started playing reboot (because bera is dead now) and I hit level 200 in around five days. I am glad that cubes are easier to acquire without spending mesos now but the rest of the game seems like a lame version of what it used to be. It's literally easier to level up now at level 190-200 than it was at level 30 in 2007. Nobody talks to strangers. No reason to work together besides certain endgame bosses. I remember guilds used to actually do stuff together in-game. I used to have a maxed out buddylist. Used to be able to shoot the shit with strangers on the boat to orbis. I feel so much nostalgia for this game and it makes me sad knowing it'll never be how it was again. I started playing in 2005 a few days after the game came out in the U.S, I think I was 12 years old. I'm in my late 20's now.

Back then grinding was harder, but bit was also way more later back. now days the grind is much more about exp and meso rates and we have a lot of buffs like kishin, mvp, runes and such. I miss the slow chill vibes I got from old days grinding but I also think it was a good change now that there is more to do during the grind and it is both faster and a lot more fun! A lot of people say that one of the fun parts was talking to the people in the party. I totally agree with that, the thing is that it isn't gone. You can still talk to friends to going in a party and staying in different maps or just by whispering them and if you want to get really close you can just call them on Discord or Skype. The social aspect hasn't really been removed, just adapted. If one wants to start playing maple again, they should not look back on the old days and dream about DEX-less sins but do just as the game did all those years back and still do, adapt

Things to add : - Back then to do Zakum prequest it was long , 7 keys , Jump quest and 30 golden teeth. Now it’s no prequest and it’s one shot it - Horntail prequest were a hassle everytime it was run, you have to collect the same materials for it. Now it’s just a click. - Pink Bean prequest were 999 kills back then and the chaos marble was not free , you always needed 10 mask of each monk and the 3 drops of the Temple of time bosses. Now it’s 200 kills (Used to be 333 during tempest patch) and chaos marble ia free once per day. - 4th job Skills back then required for you to kill Zakum for the book skill, or do a ques to get the skill. Also you needed 20 and 30 mastery books to completely master the skill 20(70% success) and 30(50% success). And the drop rate of mastery books were super low on mobs, and mostly on bosses . Now you just buy the books at the NPC. - The distribution of mobs level were kind of randomly back then , golems been level 50-65, been together with evil eyes( lvl 25 mobs) , and now an area will have mobs from the same level. - In addition to what I mentioned above , now the World Map shows you the level of the mob , what mob is located there , what NPC is there , and back then it was just a map ..... and it was up to the player to explore it. - The “End game bosses” back then were Zakum , Horntail , and Pink Bean. Papulatus and Pianus were more like “secret powerful bosses” that people could kill for rare drops or for fun, but were not as hard as the ones mentioned above. Now “end game” are like Lotus , Damien , Lucid , Will , Venus Hilla and the Black Mage. Chaos root abbys , Magnus, Gollux, future Empress are just complements to get stronger. - Finally , back then we didnt have many equips , Belt , Shoulder , badge , Emblem , secondaries ( well mages , warrior and bandits have shields), two pendants. Having an eye accessory or face accessory was considered already lucky.

Old school 800x600 resolution really brought you into the world, it made you feel like you were inside the game. Now it is zoomed out so much, with so many flashy large skills, it is easy to forget there is even a character there, just a tiny blob of random equipment with different flashy skills than other people. Back then you could at least see the graphics, because they were big enough to see all the tiny details.

I agree; Big Bang didn't ruin Maple, Big Bang to 2013 was like the sweet spot for the best Maple. Big Bang fixed a lot of problems and freshened up the game in terms of looks (UI) and classes (old Wind Archer ftw). After 2013 came a lot of huge revamps, including ruining the uniqueness between classes in terms of utility (it's all about skill flashiness that set them apart now). V Update just capitalized on the aesthetics, including changing the UI (again), and set the game even farther apart from the old Maple. I still play the game, but I still miss and would gladly play an older version of Maple that isn't focused around skills that cover the entire screen and crash your system. Only things still keeping me playing are the amazing music and character/monster designs (and some theme dungeons, Detective Rave and Mushroom Castle are a few favorites). Probably going to stop when I have to set this game aside for more time in life.

I think the thing I hate the most about the new Maple is how flashy everything is now with giant-ass numbers covering up the entire screen and insanely big cash shop effects. It's like they feel their combat is boring so their solution was covering it up to make sure we can't see it. The downside is I can't feel anything I'm doing.

So we would just heal, waiting for like 5 min 10) Going to see the mushmom spawn just with the hopes of a high player killing them and praying for them to get the famous ilbis throwing stars 11) Changing channels because the other people arrived there first, that was the rule. 12) Jumping in the right of kerning pq exit so it would lag the server and nobody could enter before you and your party reentered 13) Taxi? no way to expensive, ill just walk for 1 hour to get to where i need to go 14) Finally getting to sleepywood and fighting zombie mushrooms. 15 ) Walking all the way to the end of sleepywood tunnels so i could see the high level monsters (and hopefully the walking balrog)

Ok yall I have something I have to get off my chest from old maple. Ok so, I'm sure everyone remembers if you had a zhelm you were considered godly. I think it was the only boss drop at the time that actually gave you good stats, was unique/looked SICK, and exclusive to one boss. Therefore I needed a zhelm and fortunately for me I was in a top 3 guild in Broa at the time called, Heros. So we were able to clear zakum pretty easily. Unfortunately for me, I had a literally potato PC and EVERYTIME... THE VERY MOMENT THEY KILL ZAKUM... AND I SEE THE ZHELM IN THE AIR... SUSPENDED IN TIME FOREVER... AS MY PC CRASHES... I did eventually get my zhelm from the FM after they became tradeable through something in the cash shop, but it still pisses me off that I never really GOT my first zhelm. Thanks.

I enjoyed pre-potential Maple a lot. There were many different classes with different play styles, like the bowmaster not being like the marksman or night lord, and that items were very simple with just upgrading weapons with weapon attack or getting your main stat on an item or accuracy of you're a warrior. While I'd like a classic server I wouldn't want a low effort one in which once you hit later levels you'll only be doing skeles for tens of levels but having some of the newer content used and just balanced for a classic server. Maybe some older maps and possibly monsters reworked to encourage alternate training areas like the bulk of Ludi.

It’s been years since I’ve been there. I started in probably 2010-12 I’ve gotta say i miss the old game dearly. A couple expansions wasn’t bad, very exciting! It used to be HARD. Hard to level, hard to live, and very satisfying to progress. Now it feels like you start out op and all you can do is get more op. I remember it taking a couple weeks to get to level 30, my first lvl 30 now you pretty much skip there. My biggest problem with the game has got to be that the Damage Scale became massive. Like they multiplied everything by 100 just so big flashy numbers fill the screen Also a couple months playing FARMER STORY was the best shit ever. THE REBIRTH SYSTEM TO COMBINE CLASSES OOF Anyway I’ll always have fond memories but i don’t think I’ll ever return, maybe just to see if my characters are still there ❤️
