I know, I was being sarcastic.

Nothing has changed too radically. It's basically just slowly evolved progressively in the direction it was already evolving when you last played...you can probably deduce most of the changes, or at least their nature.

I hate to break it to you, but LHC is not.. well how should I put this?.. not good anymore?

I think everyone is referring to this?

Spring 2013 - Mark of Honor:
Release of previously JapanMS exclusive classes = Hayato (a samurai) and Kanna (an okami-themed Mage who uses fans to attack)

Late Spring 2013 - Cygnus Returns:
Dawn Warrior/Wind Archer/Thunder Breaker completely overhauled. Their max level cap raised to 200 from 120.
*Blaze Wizard and Night Walker got their overhaul more recently.

[b]Summer 2013 - Unleashed:[/b]
[b][i]Damage cap raised to 50,000,000 from 999,999. Damage range cap increased to 2,000,000 from 1,000,000 (however the damage range cap is only visual; upgrading even after 2M-2M range will boost your damage). Level cap of all classes increased to 250 from 200.[/i][/b]
[b]Huge HP/ATT buff to all bosses. Release of Lv140+ Hyper Skills for ALL classes to (sorta) accommodate the buff. Peak of the pay2win theme.[/b]
Release of Xenon (Resistance Pirate/Thief hybrid class with a cyborg theme) and Demon Avenger (2nd Resistance warrior who uses HP to attack with the dark element).
Release of Root Abyss and Chaos Root Abyss where its bosses drop Lv150 armor/weapons. These replaced Empress armors/weapons as the new (and still currently used as) endgame equips.

[b]Winter 2013 - RED:[/b]
[b]Complete overhaul of all Explorer classes.[/b] Release of the 'Zero' class, a tag-team 2h-sword warrior class where you control 2 characters.
[b]Various stuff implemented to make the game significantly less pay2win since Nexon realized they screwed up with the Unleashed update.[/b] (i.e. You can now craft cubes. They were previously only obtainable via the Cash Shop).

Summer 2014 - Rising Heroes
Release of Shade, the 6th and final Legend class who's a pirate with a spirit theme (don't ask me why that makes him a pirate class)

Fall 2014
Blaze Wizard & Night Walker completely overhauled. Their max level cap raised to 250 from 120.

Winter 2014 - Star Force
[b]New enhancement system released that's much cheaper and has a much higher success rate overall than the old one.[/b] It also increased the amount of stats you gain per star on normal equips (superior equips like Tyrants and the attack bonus on weapons are unchanged). Kudos to Nexon as this is another step towards closing the gap between the rich and the poor.
Release of Star Planet. Basically a separate world where the main gameplay is a bunch of mini-games
[b]Reward Points introduced. You can use these to buy most items in the Cash Shop[/b] Earned through activities such as killing bosses, doing party quests, doing mini-games in Star Planet, etc.

Spring 2015 - Black Heaven
A new high level dungeon that leads to the hardest boss currently in MapleStory.

In between all these patches, numerous new areas and its respective monsters, quests, and miscellaneous bosses were released. Existing monsters got buffed and rebuffed a few times as well (EX: Robos in Ludibrium were around Lv60 around the time you quit, now they're Lv100).

[quote=tonytony40]So from what I gather, the stuff I spent months grinding for to purchase is worth less than an hour's salary now.

I feel cheated.[/quote]

I'm just going to sit here and wait for answers because I'm pretty much in the same boat.
