Maplestory Classic Game

Okay so, we all know there's a few people that hate the current game and miss the old maplestory (2006+) also inb4 * if you don't like it, quit * I already have.

Imagine if nexon made a "Classic" Maplestory, where you had to go to the old times of rolling 4/4, making friends in the slime tree, hiding in the ship from the balrogs, etc. Would you play it? Perhaps they could release patches, but only now and again, so you get to experience the things that made this game stand out and actually fun back then!

obviously this won't happen, but imagine! I'd love to play back to v.20, finding a panlid and thinking I was boss!

~What do you mean members? Guys I know they're not going to make this that would be silly, I'm just seeing what people think about the idea and reminisce about old times

Indeed, it'd bring on the nostalgia... but most people will not think much of the idea.

I think we need to question what actually made the game fun. The leveling and talking with friends was possible despite the pain and suffering it took to get to lvl 30~40, was because of our "innocence."
As I remember, there were cool stuff we experienced firsthand (such as the barlog and slime tree) but what about afterwards?
I can train at slime tree, but it'd take super long and feel like such arduous work is for nothing.
I can go take the barlog ship (which we still can do) and hide from barlogs, but after experiencing it once, it'd be a regular thing.

The only thing that we find pleasure in going back to the "old ms" is the discovery/exploration of content with friends and that has now disappeared for most of us.
Hence is the reason why we don't see very much Pizza servers that adhere to your idea.

i renember in the ship high leveled people would trick other people into thinking there was no rogs outside, but then when they went outside you never saw them again good times

I do believe that you can find a server that goes back far enough to simulate v.20 (I went back close enough on one, but it got shut down)

Ecko never put anything. Ecko is a fake h@cker that rose to fame for "hacking a GM" when in reality the GM's info was posted by mistake on the main site. He was one of the few people that found out the things on the site were actually the account details so he got in. Look at his videos, he's only a guy who uses public h@cks and luckily managed to get a GMs account.

The DC in sauna thing was actually a glitch. I got stuck in it on one of my characters back then and felt so bad.

I can't make new ones because I don't play but what I'm saying is the community HAS changed. Yes they spend money but probably not every month for 5-6 years people can spend their money obviously, It's just NX used to be for cosmetic approach, now if you don't have or use NX you're probably weak, and can't match up with players who spend loads on cubes and all different gear

Some things I do like better, but a lot I don't

To be honest, i play this game since 2006. I quit in 2008, because it was boring. Around the summer i saw some maplestory video's, and saw that there was a lot of new stuff, that's the reason i came back. If it was still the same as then, i wouldnt came back lol

I believe nexon sums it up best in there old adage.

"Because i can, and its free"

^ that's a good point actually :O maybe they could do like 3x exp for a week or something

the only reason "old maple" seems better to us verterans is because a good majority of our friends were 100x more active back then and the community was better too. They've all grown up now and moved onto bigger and better things. Making an "old" maplestory client won't fix the real problem which is the community. If anything it will make the community worse because the new community will most likely hate the fact that you had to train weeks for lvl 30.

[quote=ramenrulz]Seriously? Maple was so junk back then. The dice, the training, the hackers. >.<
Everything that you say made the game fun back then is still there today except enhanced and better.
Good for nostalgia sake but I don't want old maple coming back.[/quote]

to me, nothing that made the game fun back then is still here.. slime tree is gone, along with the mushroom tree, most of the maps have changed so not even the same layout, the community is different, no one just makes friends while training much anymore, exp is different, weapons are different, and everyone is just obsessed with damage and gear, back then there were no cubes, all these different scrolls and potential and things, and all of that just makes it too intense for me, I know people do all this without money, but it takes longer, and I know people have a job and can afford it as can I, but when you pay like 30 dollars a month or whatever you pay, think how much you would of paid in 5 years!

Oh my god, Ship Cabin was the BEST. You'd meet so many cool people during ship ride. Play a game of Omok or Cards every now and again.
Venture above deck if you were feeling braver than usual.

Good times. I dunno, I think I'd play. At least for a little. Hahaha.

From my point of view, you're the one that clicked the title and read the thread. Now you choose to complain instead of be mature and ignore the person. All they're doing is contributing an idea, yet you have to come and let your negativity try to bring them down. C'mon now.

Simply don't bump the thread. You complaining here isn't going to stop them, nothing will. So what if they like to reminisce? I really don't understand why people like you complain about seeing a certain type of thread on this forum; just skip over it and don't bother with it and the people in it if you're annoyed.
