Come All Suffering From lvl Nostalgia
As the title says, this thread is for those who have lvl nostalgia. Lvl nostalgia is when you reminisce about lvling up at the lower levels. These are things like Mushroom Kingdom, going through Mia's training academy, etc. My favorite would have to be the trip towards my first job instructor, before when you had to walk and not teleport.
What are some of your leveling nostalgia moments?

[quote=BobR]Leveling up in Maplestory used to be a real accomplishment, not just something you try to do 40 or 50 times a day.
When you leveled, it felt like you'd really accomplished something, that you'd learned how to really succeed in the game and had reached a goal.
It even used to be more of a "community" kind of achievement, where random people would stop what they were doing and shout "Congrats!" when you leveled in Henesys Hunting Ground. And it felt good to be recognized for having accomplished something.
Now Nexon has cheapened the act of leveling so much nobody even notices anymore because they're all leveling 20 times themselves. No big deal any longer.[/quote]
Then you realized that your act of accomplishment requires several more acts of accomplishment forever leaving them unable to experience the game fully (3rd and 4th job). You should know the leveling speed shouldn't be painfully slow when you're only getting the basics for your character. The leveling experience now is quick because the community complained about how painfully slow it was to train before. Also if there was no LHC/SH, training would be similar to what it was pre bb but not restricted to the same areas (leafre/tot) for 4th job.
I loved doing Lmpq =(
Great fast exp per minute (15k if got all coupons) and it was how I got to my first 10mil (selling the pots and equips that were given out) . ^^
this is such an embarassing thread..
Being able to Guild PQ...
Leading the best guild in MS, Grass
Whacking green slimes all day with my mace on my strength mage. Wasted countless hours doing that
LMPQ and CPQ are what I miss most. LMPQ was unique and you needed to target the "good rooms" for the good rewards. CPQ was so fun. When you played competitively and the "trading wins" days. When the CPQ rewards were good. Farming Gepharts. hehe
Every 2x event going to himes with a priest, training on horny mushies in Sleepywood, sniping newts, smashing away at the middle of the map in gallos, challenging myself to kill Skeles at low lvls, taking about an hour trying to solo Pianus just for his books and exp, grinding on roms in cpq, etc.. x-x
KPQ, LPQ, LMPQ, OPQ.
I loved PQs to death, and now they're all trash because you can finish all of them in 5 minutes or less.
I remember meso exploding gobies... does anyone even go there anymore lol

KPQ anyone?
I loved cpqing with the rom grind.
I'm not really suffering, but i do miss those good 'ld KPQ & LPQ days when we needed track to almost get it.
Training at the dungeon with the octopuses pre bb and being happy to get from level 38 to 40 in a day.
[quote=shaftkid2]1k dmg as a sin back in the cpq days was considered good.[/quote]
Seriously? .-. lol its been too long haha
Sniping newts for hours on my Hermit was oh so much fun... Yea, I don't really miss it. I did watch a lot of tv during those levels though XD
When i was finally able to hit 1000 dmg on my lvl 50 assasin xD gah i was sucha noob... who adds str to a sin? .-.
[quote=WhitePegasus]Dat dere green apple suit days[/quote]
That was the best outfit I ever had. And if I didn't get hacked, it would still be the best outfit I ever had
[quote=Yxrtz]Wtf is Mushroom Kingdom? Leveling Nostalgia is not possible for me, because I never made it past 31 pre-BB o.o[/quote]
Some mapler you are. NOOB!
Nothing really.. the only thing nostalgic about leveling were the people I was with
Killing octopus just for the heck of it.
