My experience of Maplestory

My experience of Maplestory ^^ If you don't want to read all of it I have a short version! Please respond with something you liked and what you clinged to in maplestory.

First most people came to play this game in simple interest. To see what it would be like and experience something new, no? At first it was very fun, quests, different jobs to choose, party quests, and the sheer joy of killing monsters! You could try the different jobs and experience a different type of gameplay for each! Then new things came out. New jobs, new monsters, new party quests, and new content. The BGM of ellinia was beautiful and so many different memories. Now as you went along playing you would make friends! The joy of friends You could talk to them, do party quests with them and train with them. They were a great part of maple, no?
Big Bang came along and the Resistance jobs came out. Battle Mage, Wild Hunter, and Mechanic. As soon as they came out they were everywhere. Then people started realizing how overpowered Mechanic's were and lots of people made one. Then came along Chaos where Dual Blades, Evan's, and Aran's got revamped! People started making Dual Blades as soon as they got over powered. So many new Dual Blades came along and ksed freely. Now the aspect of friends was merely gone. With the new family teleport system the ship's were isolated. Very few people were there and so many friends were met there. Also Party Quest's became isolated. All you could do to gain exp efficiently was to grind constantly. The very fun of Party Quest's were gone since they were a bad source of exp. Now the main way to find friends was through grinding but that wasn't a pleasant experience. In the crowded servers people kill-stealed and were rude. How could you make friends in these conditions? Everyone was trying to level up and try out their class and skills. During Party Quest's you could work together and have fun. Grinding is a boring way to gain exp and you hardly make friends. The social aspect of maplestory was gone! All Nexon did was release new jobs to make Maplestory continue. They created the cubing system to make money and became very greedy with money. Now I'm not saying that they should stop the Cash Shop but they do very little for us. When we send in a ticket, how long does it usually take to get a response? For most it takes over 1 month! Even if we do get a reply it is most likely an automated message from something other than a human. Such a disgrace. Now all you could do was grind and boss. Bossing was a nice experience, fighting large insane monsters together with guildy's and friends. But that was all you could do. Grind and boss with friends.
Now jump has come along, where the 3 adventurers are revamped! Archers have mobility and are much stronger. Mages are stronger and are more helpful. Warrior's have become stronger and everyone is happy! The adventurers who everyone loves are finally able to compete with the other jobs who were much stronger! But now Nexon has tried to make the Party Quest system more useful! Isn't that great? You can make friends again and have fun and gain exp all at the same time! Even if the system is back whats the point if no one does them? There are still many people out there who grind for exp. Now the thing that you cling to in Maplestory was friends. If you had nice friends you would come on and chat with them. They were the joy of Maplestory. The reason you kept going, no? But after all this it was still hard to make friends. Slowly and slowly people are quitting and losing their friends. There is even a hacking epidemic where tons of people have been hacked. Great, another way to make the players quit. Now I have even less friends! Lots of people had no reason to keep going! The main reason for me to play was to chat and play with friends. Same for you?

[b]When you started out you wanted to experience this new game called maplestory! A game different from any other. As the game continued, the social aspect was gone. Party Quests and Ship rides were isolated. All you could do to gain EXP was grind and boss. Before all this happened you could make friends during Party Quests and Ship rides and many other fun things. But now these aspects of the game are basically gone. Friends are hard to come by and lots of people have quitted either because they were hacked or simply got bored. For me, I stayed to Maplestory for my friends. But now they were slowly going away.[/b]
