Hi everyone !
It's been a while i didnt play Maplestory.... I started the game in 2004, and actually i didnt played for 3 -4 years. I would like to play again but, i want to know how is the actual game.
I mean, there are a lot of news? There is still a good community? Regular updates and event?
There is something particular i need to know?
Thanks for you help

[quote=ryokucha]As a returning player myself (from pre-Big Bang), it's been slow-going to adjust to the sheer amount of material. There are a ton of improvements --- you don't have to endlessly grind to level up because now there's an enjoyable leveling curve with many event and quest exp options. Classes have also been rebalanced (constantly) so that you can solo train and boss on any one. But because there's so much content and ease of soloing, it feels like PQs and parties can completely fall to the wayside. So community will be what you make of it: if you are intentional about partying, then you'll meet people. If you solo, you won't really meet people, but the game is still fun.

yea well... we will probably never find each other in game so yea
Well recently alot of people have returned considering its summer and they've updated alot of in-game features / events. Me being one of those returning players have luckily joined a pretty active/friendly guild which makes things in MS more fun. Windia is pretty populated right now I'd say. I've heard Scania and Bera is too. Try it out for yourself and see.

[quote=evenings]can't fight if no one talks everyone is anti-social and no one says anything anymore its so hard to make friends [/quote]
i agree... it really is hard making friends in this game. i have like 3 people active on my buddy list and even they are only on my buddy list due to past trade deals.
By the community, i mean i personnaly don't need to have friends to play, but i want a game which move, a lot of people in fm, markets, training zone etc.... i like to see a game is not dead.
You say i should play in scania, but there are still people in Bera too right? Most of my characters are in Bera
the community is as good as you want it to be.
[quote=looniemunki]i unno but it feels the community got a lot less hostile since 2012 (which was when I last played. Back then guilds fought each other for power and nonstop smega wars. You see those occasionally but not as often as before. Nexon has made the game a little less nx cash dependant (though there is a huge gap in power with those who spend real money and those who don't).
I find it that the game has improved a lot. Just so as long as you play in a busy world. Play scania, the FMs are busy and theres a lot of people playing. Might as well.[/quote]

overload of tiring events, community nonexistent, updates always extended
don't bother
