The Golden Years
I miss the old days when it wasn't so easy to level. When ya got to the 4th job and it was an accomplishment. It's so easy now. Back when there was just the 4 classes. None of this Angelic busting bull. You only had to fear high level sins coming to KS you. Not flippin' kaisers and lumis and busters, oh my. It's just no challenge anymore

[quote=azngirlLH]@RiverStar: You should PQ more, I find Nett's PQ the most fun. RJPQ is good for meeting people too, since there's a ton of people there (I play Scania, though.)
Maybe Broa is really underpopulated? (I don't know anything about Broa's population)[/quote]
the only pq's that are populated are nett's, romeo, and ludi...i wish more people did pq's

@azngirlLH: But it's a lot less frequently. Well I'm kind of being hypocritical since I've stopped pqing too

There is none. Nothing important Just for people to bask in the past once a week. I can already tell this guy isn't from Old Maple.

If it was so easy, try getting to 250.

While I understand that faster levelling is a good thing, I can justify it being a bad thing too. In the old MS, it was a chore and a lot of people would get bored quick. The community was divided in two - on one hand was the hardcore, and on the other was the casuals. A lot of the latter would remain on and do other things, contributing to a more social and friendly environment. Furthermore, at lower levels, you were stuck in certain maps for days if not weeks, and would often see familiar faces near your level range training.
Grinding isn't something people dread anymore, and so a lot more people focus on it. People breeze through to 120 in a matter of hours or days now, and no one really stays at one place for long until they get to LHC. The result is a very quiet community overall. Even in Scania, most maps and main towns are deserted or silent. The only way to get a decent social experience is through joining an active guild.
It really comes down to what kind of an experience you want, I guess. I feel like lower levels not being a complete breeze could benefit the social aspect of the MMO. I wouldn't want to sink years into a character to get to 4th job (It took me 4 years to get to level 120 on my Bishop), but I wouldn't mind it taking month or two compared to a day or two. That would make it feel more rewarding as well, I suppose. I feel no sense of accomplishment when I reach 120 these days.
Really, the only thing I liked about the old maple was training by myself. PQs were when you wanted to socialize, and then you could grind solo and listen to music and it was nice. Now every new training place is a party area..
no matter what nexon gives u, you all will just rant about it
stfu dude no one cares
New Maple > Old Maple
@juarmo: This is now my crowing basil achievement.
Oh puh-lease, I bet you never played pre BB
It took two years to get my mage to fourth job, only to have Nexon change EVERYTHING about it a year later. Now it's unrecognizable. See how that kind of investment can be a bad thing? When it comes to leveling, I much prefer the current system -- and this is coming from someone who's been playing since '06. I like being able to fully enjoy a character without sinking a year of my life into it.
No shut up, I hated sniping newts for 5hours for 1 lvl
"I miss when...(list memories)"
"I miss when topics like this didn't exist."
"Oh look, this again."
"Maple was better before because...(reasons)"
"Maple is better now because...(reasons)"
"Pizza..."
etc.
This is almost the anime recommendation topic of the general section. It gets done every day, and it gets the exact same responses every day.
No just no
Just google a freakin v55 low rate pizza slice if you want to live in the past that badly...
@BurritoMan: Nope! :O Maybe i'm thinking 30-33...It certainly took a long time. o.o All of those poor teddy bears in ludibrium that I murdered...

[quote=blimko]I only miss playing with my friends all day at pig beach. The game itself sucked. Its way better now.[/quote]
I want to add this to mah sig. MRBASIL WE NEED SIGNATURES ALREADY QQ
i agree i used to have a lvl 100 which took me like 1 year and a half to achieve and at that level could only manage to get like 20% a day playing for 2 hours or so now you can get to lvl 100 in like 2 days and you still can lvl like mad all the way up to like 150 easily before it starts to slow down
please, no more of these sorts of threads..
thats why they giving us 250 ..
dont worry
you will have lvl 200-250 to worry about
I only miss playing with my friends all day at pig beach. The game itself sucked. Its way better now.
I miss when people knew how to shut up.
[quote=SparkingSlash]I miss the old days when it wasn't so easy to level. [/quote]
If it's so easy, then why haven't you hit 200 yet?
exact same thread every few days.
Yeah, grinding for hours for level 40... So... Fun...
No, not really.
Maple is such a better game now, minus how insanely powerful the Cash Shop is.
For all the people who say this, you're getting 250, there's your hard leveling, this threads are annoying.
shut up
Nostalgicrap.
Please don't start this again.. just.. please...
