Coming back after 4 years So I've decided to get back on since I've made a decent number of friends whom I've found out actually play Maplestory nowadays. Good grief, this Maplestory isn't even the Maplestory I played back then. There's, like, 20 new classes or something, PQs seem to have become impractical, and a CRAPload of training spot oppurtunities are avaiable so I don't neccesarily have to train somewhere for 10-20 levels, and I heard getting to Level 120 takes only a couple of weeks now. How much more has Maplestory changed? Also, thinking of making a Mechanic. How balanced are they compared to other classes? How practical are they in bossing? How fast do they train?

Is MapleStory still as repetitive as 2 years ago? I still remain undecided on whether I should return to MapleStory for my 3rd time. Is it still the same grind-and-level game? Are there most quests I can do to level, earn money, and other useful things? Has the economy been stabilized? Are people more sociable now? Does MapleStory have ANYTHING to help me progress without the need to grind and level for 2 hours a day? EDIT: If it helps, I quit about a month after Evan was released.
