If anybody is wondering how Maplestory used to work here is the gist of it.

They announce a new class. It comes out and it's overpowered as fuck. They sell a ton of cash items specifically for that character. After a couple months and people start getting bored of the new character they nerf him to hell. They make 2 more classes and do it again. Then they have a "resurgence" of these old* characters and buff them again and make their cash items slightly more expensive but in a bundle. While you're making these characters you also have to buy new character slots if you don't want your time wasted to leveling up to 200. Did I mention that you also have to buy expensive books so you can actually level up your best skills to the max? They sell those too. Oh and after everything is said and done they nerf the three characters they have a "resurgence" for and then nerf the main classes (but only by a bit).

*Old meaning around 6 months

Seemingly at random, as though they had a bunch of characters on a wheel and spin it and whoever it landed it on will be picked, they will have a themed event of one specific character that you forgot even existed. They will then load the fucking cash store with his stuff that barely matters to you. But if you don't buy this shit fast you will look like a retard because everyone else has their pink chair and you don't so you automatically get ridiculed and probably never picked to be in a party because you dont have the chair.

Nexon also completely shut down the auction market where you could sell items for NX (premium currency). While people had differing opinions on it such as people were making actual money from it or the fact that the economy was the fact that 99% of the people in MS' economy was eating the other 1%'s shit or the fact that it was very possible that people can never pay Nexon a dime and still get stuff from the Cash Shop.

Don't even let me get started on the hackers. There are literal vacuum cheats in this game where anything dropped gets sucked up into your inventory. People drop and pick up items to show their wealth against each other as a sort of pissing contest. I did it once against some guy and the second I dropped something of value it went straight into his inventory and poof he was gone.

A little side note to make here is something you get during your questline. You're expected to do some of your quest line to at least get to the point where you fight a fairly easy miniboss to get his head and wear it as a hat. It gives +15 or so of your main stat but it is also ugly as fuck. Guess what's in the list in the beginner's package for this game? A transparent hat so you can't see the ugly but stat-wise decent hat. Nexon does it again.

There is also of course the thing most mmo players dread. The grind. Maplestory actually does an okay job of this as they make you unlock new skills by advancing your class as you level up. So when you're close you get that urge to level up and finally get these new skills. Oh but wait you have to grind quite a few levels so these skills are actually useful. So you still have to use some of your skills from your previous skill list to make these ones actually useful. Nice. Let's not forgot that probably 90% of place you think are okay grind spots are fucking awful. They're so bad that people make guides that just tell you the best enemies to grind on. And some of these enemies are nuts. For example Jesters give 1.3k exp and have 50k hp. If you have decent equipment and money to spend on burning potions you can actually go there at level 20 or so. From level 20 to level 34 the exp required to level up goes from 3708 to 19136. You could actually probably stay there until around level 50. Think about that. You can go from level 20 to 50 by killing only one type of monster.

Should we also go into the class system for a bit? Classes literally don't matter. There is no supporting in this game unless you are a Bishop. Even if you are a bishop you're expected to do some sort of damage (though with genesis having like a 1 minute cooldown now, which was a map-wide aoe spell, it's pretty much impossible). Nothing matters in this game except for damage. Having extra health doesn't really matter if you mow down mobs like it's fucking dynasty warriors.

Let's not forget the type of people this game attracts. If you go literally any where you will without a doubt find some weeb with hearts all over them and having an attack macro (in-game one) that spams some sort of weeb attack name. These are also the people most likely to spend tons of money on the game so they will always have at least 100+ megaphones which are items that let you send a message to the entire server on the top right. Now we can all experience yukichan12345's new anime recommendation.

The key binding in this game is also horrendous. The first time I played this game my friend who introduced me to it told me immediately to rebind my keys. I wondered why and then I looked holy shit was it really awful. Mostly because you're expected to use most of your left keyboard space to use actual skills. The entire top row is filled with just tabs. For every single window in this game.

How could we forget the way equipment is handled in this game. There are probably like 10 different ways to upgrade your equipment. And those ways keep on coming. First of all we have scrolls which you apply to your weapon and depending on what scroll you use have a chance to increase the stats. The lower the chance the higher the stat boost you get. Simple enough. Oh hey there is also a rare, epic, legendary system as well. Sounds pretty standard. They give stats dependent on which is rarer. Rare could give a simple 2% increase in your Luck stat while legendary could give a nice 15%. Cool. Now let Nexon work its magic. You can buy items to reset your weapon if you mess up a scroll as each weapon has a set amount of times you can use a scroll on it: whether it's a success or not. You can also buy an item that lets you increase the amount of times you can apply a scroll to an item. Oh and of course you can also buy an item that lets you reset an item's rare status so if you get something shitty on a legendary item like 10%+ HP (because nobody fucking needs health you just need to buy potions and drink them constantly) and try and get something good. There are probably even more ways to make your weapon better but these are the two glaring ones.

And last but not least, the players of this game. Just like in TF2 there are people very insistent on never playing the game. They sit in Henessy (the official don't do anything here just sit down town) and talk to each other. And god fucking damn the drama there is juicy sometimes but fuck me when I realized how much time these people waste. People there I feel like actually go into depression because they can't find an in-game gf by sitting down all the time in the game. Surprise you're sitting down in real life too doing nothing and you don't have a gf there either. I had an in-game gf in Maplestory once because she asked me to. I was really confused and I didn't really know what that entailed and there would be literally no repercussions if I said yes so I did. The next day while I was out actually playing the game she said "I want 2 be w/ u :3" and I was already starting to regret it. I teleported to her and sat next to her in a town for like 5 minutes before I just got up and left and blocked her. It was so pointless. On a side note I was walking around in the same town like a week later and "she" was quite literally asking people to be her sugar daddy.

I have no more room for text so my rant is done sorry.

tl;dr Nexon is a group of evil geniuses that are out to consume everyone's soul.

Still though i wont ever forget my homies in that game that helped me sell maplestory items through paypal so I could buy a good computer at 15 years old. God Bless.

I missed the Item Shop. I believe the reason why Nexon trashed it was because hackers found an exploit that allowed them to gain access to the user account of anybody that was selling something. Instead of fixing this I think they just decided to can it because it's too big of a security risk and they can't patch hacks for shit.

I miss pre-big bang maplestory that shit was the best

henesys' hunting grounds I

my homie removed his steam review of this but maple is still garbo no matter what they to do

only thing positive i can give about maple is that i'm still friends with the people i've played with on windia and el nido 7-8 years later

i created an HP beginner and when i couldnt level up anymore i got with other oddjob guild mates and we spent a BUNCH of time trying to find exploits

i had this hyper teleport rock fucking STOCKED with old maps that nexon took out of the base game years ago like henesys hunting grounds and the old henesys. its weirdly eerie walking through this map that is completely empty and vacant when in your memory it was like this thriving epicenter of player interaction

paging Arsie

within 3 years of playing maplestory ive managed to get level 200 on 5 characters and I will say it was not worth it.

bad game, but comfy when u feel like doing nothing else and just wanna mindlessly grind.

i tried to play the new reboot a couple months ago and it was cancer
im glad i quit in 2009 but i miss all my homies from bera back in the day :-( s/o to whitewizardmage

Consumed my life from around 2005-2007ish, all I know is that a lot has changed since then.
