General

@phinik: the title used to be "what about nexon?" and the original post was just a link that said basically if it can be done. Everything from the original thread had been modified.

just wait for the lvl 250 lvl cap raise and leveling will be hell again just like it was pre bb

This idea totally hasn't been suggested over 9001 times.

Exactly. I miss playing old maple so badly but there are just so many better aspects of the game now. Nexon just doesn't know how to modify/ use those aspects in a manner that satisfies players. The only good thing back then is that hacking didn't have an effect on the economy as much as today.

Times change, but the community shouldn't. If Nexon made more events that revolved around the idea of more teamwork and social interactions, this game will be fun. The only reason why people want to go back because of the strong community. Other than that, maple was hard and did suck, since it didn't have many features. They need to make more guild content, a new GPQ. Increase slots of guilds (once a certain level is met) and alliance.

"This will be a members-only vote. While all types of players have invested time in the game, it is our members that ultimately fund the initiatives and therefore get to set the priorities. Your support allows us to continue to evolve this amazing game that we all care deeply about. Making the vote members-only has the benefit of ensuring the votes cannot be rigged, and is a reliable, secure way to calibrate interest from dedicated players."

It costs money, and maple is free2play meaning the voting would be skewed. If you read the whole thing it details possible fees for people to play. One of the biggest reasons i've seen people requesting "old maple" is to step away from the "pay2win" mind set and the nx-required-for-everything attitude. The issue im trying to get at is that only nx-buyers would be able to vote and even then you might have to end up paying for the server anyways.
TLDR: Maple is fine as it is, old servers would cost too much money.

i want CPQ back

New server people. I don't like grinding now semi-pointless. But back then it was worth it, a new server won't affect how the current server runs whatsoever.

Old maple sukx if you want to grind a couple months to 3rd job find a priv server, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEf5VFKplzw]But for me[/url]i have enough fun doing romeo pq and netts pyrimid and occasonaly ksing noobz at aleins with ma ds,Root abys is a bonus.

Why add more to their already full plate? We all know how Nexon functions, do you want it to degenerate?

You people don't miss the old maplestory, you miss the old friends you had that would go online and socialize with you. >.<

Been playing since release so i should know.

It's too bad Jagex couldn't go deeper to 2003 or so.

Jagex should have done 09 instead of 07 ... God wars and the Corporal beast back then were awesome .

I'd LOVE a pre-bb "server"

I don't understand why some people are so stuck in the past

10 years from now (if the game still exists) people will be saying things like, "remember when there was just lumi, kaiser, ab... etc"

[quote=Mjau]What are you talking about? Nexon added level 250 cap. With the current rate of the fastest leveling KMS player, he will hit level 250 in 5 years, assuming there won't be better training spots (which there will)[/quote]

why do people just go and bash my ideas and say "old maple sux now its too easy now i feel superior now".. I don't ask about your opinions, I'm asking if NEXON could possibly do that or could we suggest this idea to them..

bring back old community is all we need

[quote=Masinko]As great as it sounds, I would probably rage quit. I took me the entire school year to get to level 36, and I don't want to dedicate my time to do that again.[/quote]

Old maple didn't even have anything to do in the later levels
so what's the point

I'm actually begging for hamster spammers now. This thread seems pointless.

Runescape > Maplestory.

So dumb Nexon has.

@Ace987: That makes no sense, "administrators here thought the same since it's still in the general forum", only mods can change the location and the title if they are asked to do so by TS or people in the comments. The original thread had nothing to do with maplestory itself, more directed towards nexon.
But I do got to admit this is better than them hamster threads.

[quote=Aeronomx]@Ace987: well he changed the whole thread, added a new title and more information. Just having a link to runescape made it unrelated to maplestory even if he did quote it as if it could be done.
Exactly what I thought, he was faced with many negative comments and changed it after reading them. I would have done the same for a failing thread.[/quote]
The TS did change the thread. However, it always said something about Nexon doing what they did to Runescape. That doesn't mean it's a Runescape thread and belongs in a different forum. Obviously, the administrators here thought the same since it's still in the general forum, so you're wrong.

Also, you can't change the title once you submit it, so how did they make a new title?

This is the worse idea ever. It's a waste of time and money. People would quit before they gain one level. I could go on about how old maple sucks.

Old maps yes please

old system nope

[quote=roy5577]I don't want Maple to revert back UNLESS you do it optionally that you can download.[/quote]

what he's saying isnt reverting back the system o.o
just opening a second maplestory server with a much older version of the game

You should get an award for this comment. Serious.

Nexon is a corporation, they don't care about their players and employees. They only care about the profit

The old MapleStory sucked. I would normally write a bit on why, but I'm not even interested.

they should bring back the old PQs

But... I like maple how it is now :o
I find it much more fun than pre-bb.

By now, I should have stuck with One handed Sword (which I do now) since Axes (and Blunt Weapons, but Hero's my main character) get boned by the Slash:Stab formula. I was biased against going One Handed weapons due to short range, but Brandish makes up for the short range. Otherwise, the only purpose that speed does matter is that you use a Ribgol Sword, only if you don't party with a Viper. The buffs we have such as Rage and Meditation become useless (They didn't stack with other potions.) Rage before Big Bang gives less than 20 Attack power (around 10 to 12,) which makes it useless compared to Ciders, and as for Meditation... Well I haven't played as F/P, I/L or Flame Wizard, so I don't know how much Magic Attack power Meditation originally gives. I could bring up Energizers, but they don't matter since we don't have the actual Future Tokyo. (We have Neo City, but it's horrible no matter what people say.)

And don't get me started with the potion costs. At high levels, the enemies deal a lot of damage to you which makes Power Guard half useful.

Now I explained the problems about how archeic (I don't care if I spell it wrong) old MapleStory is. It's like wanting to play Pokemon first generation (known outside of Japan as Red and Blue,) where Special Attack and Special Defense is based on one stat called "Special," which favors Psychic types where no other types resist it other than itself, and the only weakness is Bug type with useless moves. Ghost type moves which is now super effective against Psychic types, is dead useless against Psychic in Generation I since Psychic type is immune to Ghost type.

Not going to bother with Old MapleStory, because I'd be stuck with Bishops and DarKs having to use Ciders all the time since Solo training is a potion draining headache.

@SinL0rdz not because you don't find it appealing for yourself, that it isn't appealing for others. I would love to work for hours to get the 2nd job or whatever.

I bet you people don't really want the old version of maple, what they want is the feeling they had when maple was all new to them and there were many goals for them to accomplish. Because in all honesty I don't see the appeal of playing for 30-40 minutes to just [i] get out [/i] of maple island, then spending another 2-3 hours to 2nd job.

Sure, release a nostalgia server, but make it a mandatory $30/month, because quite frankly those who "like" an old nostalgia server are never going to buy NX again once they make it. And if a separate server isn't making any money, why would Nexon bother?

I just wish Victoria and CWK had the old maps, everything else is alright.

[quote=Orascom]Could Nexon possibly care and do that kind of server for us?[/quote]

Nobody liked old maple, the only liked nostalgia. Let's be honest, grinding at a 110 mob for maybe 10-15% an hour at 130? No thanks. And the crappier skills. And the less diversity. Maple is so much better now than it was years ago that it's unreal.

[quote=Ace987]Except the TS asked if this could be done with MS.

Now if the TS just said, hey look at this company putting up an old version of the server then it's in the wrong section.[/quote]

You just saved 2 lines for me

[quote=Aeronomx]wrong section, this should be in chat island
has nothing to do with maple[/quote]
