Stayyy awayyy!
Just kidding. Had to say that.

As long as you don't have anything that Maplestory can get in the way of (Eg, I have a grad paper I SHOULD be working on...) then you're golden.
The Cygnus update is actually pretty enjoyable, in my opinion.

Not really, I am becoming less and less active (logging in for only 5-10 mins) because I have come to the realisation that there is absolutely nothing interesting to do in this game.

I'd wait for RED, that would make things more interesting at least..

Right now, I believe the game is very dull even with the recent update.

Well before I started playing again around two or three weeks ago, I had stopped playing sometime before Big Bang. I've been enjoying my time back so far, especially because of the new features in the game and the much easier leveling... Since I started over in a new world I had no funding, but due to the level rewards, getting weapons and such hasn't been a problem. So I guess it depends when you stopped playing, if it's been a while you might as well try it, it feels different. At least to me.

Only worth it if you've got friends imo.

Honestly it's not. @Goates did a pretty thorough video on why the game state is horrid at the moment.

I've been out of the game for 3 months at this point. I'm probably leaning against not coming back at this point, just because the cwk update makes me physically sick to my stomach, and I don't have a lot of friends playing.

Well the new CWKPQ is just a party quest. The original stayed. It's still there despite popular belief.

its not that bad, i mean, its still the same pay to win thing, but if you've been gone for 3 months, then you should be warned that nexon toughened up their TOS enforcing...stuff. so people who sell NX or whatever are getting banned.

Yeah I mean if you don't have any friends playing, grinding alone is gonna get boring eventually. I don't get to play a whole lot, which is probably why I haven't gotten bored of MS yet.

I've got 1 or 2 friends playing, and I guess at this point the ultimate goal is 250 right?
