General

Would you? Or Would you not?

You are given an option, Rollback to v55, Either Yey or Ney.

What would you do? Would you rollback?

That's not all, That rollback would mean that all of your old friends, old community and everything will return!, It would be like time travel, but only inside of maple.

I would DEFINITELY do it. Would you?

God no. That's like asking to be murdered, or committing suicide. People who would want it back are clearly blinded by nostalgia. Get over it and accept the changes.

Eh, I don't miss the old old maple that much.
I think the time I was having the most fun was around the time Mercedes, Cannoneer and Demon Slayer were released, and LHC was still a thing.

[quote=Omniscient1]@PandaPoet: How so? Do you honestly think that everyone will suddenly changed there mind and go back to the old community? No lol. Believe it or not hardly anyone likes the old MS. Nothing about the old MS was fun. The only thing that was fun was the social aspect which has died already and impossible to bring back.[/quote]

this is a difficult question to answer because it depends on that you valued in the old community, e.g. are you talking about ppl partying, talking to each other in general in places like hene, or their general attitudes? and why is it rational to believe social conventions just change without reason or influence?

I think old Maple was more fun to be honest because of a number of factors.

[quote=Omniscient1]Explain how you can bring back the old maple community only through game?[/quote]

the game shapes the community so bringing back old Maple the will invoke the old social experience.

Explain how you can bring back the old maple community only through game? In order to do that you need to find a way to time travel in real life so you can bring back those old friends. If you roll back the game now the people right now will not like the old MS. Thus the old community won't exist. Point is old maple was only better because of the community back then. That community is gone now or they had adjusted to the new MS and don't want to revert back. You can not bring back the old community since that is impossible to do right now. Since there is no means of real time travel.

If the game was challenging it would be fun, now it's a tedious boring job.

[quote=pokiitia]You can stand in HHG to complain by yourself instead of bothering the people who have already accepted the changes.
Having a giant rollback isn't going to revert the community back.
New players who've spent hours of their lives and thousands of dollars won't like it.
They make up 90% of what remains of the MS population.
You will literally have 5 people in every server.
Either quit now or keep your complaints to yourself. We get enough of these threads on basil.
You should just bump old rant threads, seeing as how they're all the same.
Even if they do bring it back completely, you'll find new ways to rant.
Such as how annoying it is to have to wait 40 minutes to travel. Maybe it wasn't as boring before because there were people who took the ship with you.
But the new generation of players are not so patient. You'll sit there on that ship by yourself for 40 minutes.
Then you'll complain again on how you wish they didn't change it back, and how it was "fine" before.
So just quit now, or learn to accept changes.[/quote]

doesn't really answer my question except for maybe the first point

Why do people keep asking this? No one wants to go back to a time where MW30 was like 500mill and it wasn't guaranteed to work!

i would hate that. I'm fine with how social the game is since I just chill with a guild, and I rather have all my current stuff then spend hours of grinding to get to 3rd job or trying to find quality equips.

Maple was good back then because there were few mmo games that were good.
Now it'll be the worst mmo compared to today if were to be rollbacked to v55. Isn't that bb?

[quote=Jooce]The only thing I miss about Old Maple was how large the maps were (and their exploration factor), but even now I understand that the bigger the map, the more annoying it is to travel (heck, I find travelling around in the smaller post-BB maps annoying). So no, I wouldn't bring back old Maple. It was annoying/bothersome in most factors, and most of the factors that do look good only look good because of nostalgia-goggles.[/quote]

This. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the game more prior, if we were to do a rollback at this point now I'd lose too much hard work and effort. However, I don't mind them bringing some old maps back.

It would be the rollback that kills most of the current maple accounts; the rollback that brings all the time, money, and effort of maplers to absolute naught; the rollback that would be for a gamble at the past. It's the worst rollback ever.

Only thing i miss about "old maple" is how much more social oriented it was. Now its mostly about damage.

If I could rollback to LHC times, before I was hacked, oh yes. That was superb.

I don't really miss the old version. I just miss the content we used to have. All I want is Monster Carnival and Henesys Hunting Ground back again.
