What i think happened to the community I think I know why nobody talks now... It's because level 200 and the end game is now possible to achieve... Just think back to the time when Fangblade reached 200 on his character, Back in 2008 that took over a year of solid grinding, Which is why nobody bothered with it! Everybody just kinda hanged around and well... Talked! Since that was the best way to get enjoyment out of the game. Sure he got a lot of adoration for it (Even his own NPC) but it was less inspiration for others and more of a talking point in the maple community. When I played maple quite some years ago, All I did was focusing on levelling and I hated it! I made it as far as level 20 on a warrior and quit the game due to how tedious

Will we ever actually get to fight the Black Mage? So as far as the story goes, A second battle against the black mage is inevitable. All the hero classes have people at 200+ on them so they're ready to take him on. But as far as the game goes? The black mage will only be able to be fought and have the stories end when Nexon actually kills Maplestory. The only problem is when they do that the game will have declined so much already the only people left to fight him are not going to have the range to fight him. Plus he's had so much build up in so many different story lines i wonder if anything they would release would give justice to him... So do you think they will ever actually release the black mage fight in a future update?

Am i missing something with the Balrog fight? I just did the Balrog expedition twice solo on an unfunded Kaiser at level 68, And all i got from it was like 25% bar of exp and a piece of balrog leather. All that happens when i kill him, Is that he says his defeat line, I get sent to the exit map and when i leave the portal i only get the aformentioned loot. Surely there has to be some reason to fight him isn't there? Does the leather have a purpose? Also i used to be able to get a prize from tristan when i defeat him 200 times, Is that still avaliable? I can't seem to be able to even enter the room he is in without completing some quest i have yet to recieve.

Going back to 2005 I recently decided to use the wayback machine to go back to the earliest crawl of Basilmart- October 25th, 2005! And damn, the site looks a hell of a lot different! For one the forums only have 7 sections, 4 of which are for the main towns on victoria island. Yep, 4 main towns the pirate class did not exist yet O.o And on the screens section, people are celebrating people getting over level 100! This is far before my time so i have no idea what it's like playing maplestory pre big bang... Have a poke around, see if you can find something interesting on there. Plus level 100+ people doing the epic end game boss zakum with the Op amounts of damage up to 6000! The guy gives 16mil experience on a kill to! Not only that but hi
