@roca It's Basil what do you expect hun? The Basil community is far worse than the Maple community. It'd be better just to ignore these kids suga. Good luck with your life, maple will miss you. <3

@roca: like i care, cya dont let the door smack u when u leave.

@lordanubis, look... haha. I'm gonna stop talking to you. I don't think you read anything I wrote or simply cannot understand my replies. Here, I'll leave you with this... it is how I truly feel about this game.

@boyfrombera "Today I experienced the nostalgic sadness that every true Mapler experiences every year or so. How could we not though? Maplestory was more than a game, it was a magical place where our computers where like a portal into a different world; sort of like the closet in Narnia. However unlike the past, today I refused to rejoin... how could you even call it that though... "rejoin"... to rejoin should be to return to something, but you can't "return" to Maplestory, it is gone; at least the one that I know and loved. I see servers such as Maple Royals bring back the old servers, and threads on Basilmarket asking for Nexon to release a classic version for us vets to play on... but none of this would truly work. What people fail us grasp is what truly made Maplestory a great game wasn't JUST the maps, or JUST the hard exp, or JUST the population... it was everything working together in Harmony! Sure these servers offer the great old maps, however what's the great part of Henesys Hunting Ground 1 without the old groups of people to be there? No prvte server could ever match the population Maple once had... it was over 100,000 players online per day! However let's just say that Nexon actually did bring back the old Maplestory, and SOMEHOW 100,000 people came back... it still wouldn't be the same; because we aren't the same. We are older now, and everyone knows Maplestory too well... what made it so great in the past was how mysterious and magical it all was. After all we've been through would you really be excited to see Barlog on the boat to Orbis? I mean sure it would be nostalgic and cool but the magic is gone. I once truly feared/respected Zakum... now it's just some Rock-boss who hundreds of people have soloed in under a minute. I could go on and on but the point is that the Maplestory that we once loved is gone... the maps, the people, the difficulty, and rare items, the drop-games, and most of all... the magic. I know it's hard to grasp the idea of never being able to sit on Pig Beach hoping a pro will kill that god-awful Iron Hog, however we should all be happy! We were the lucky ones, the few who actually got to live in the era of Maplestory. Generations of people will never get to understand the joy of doing the Kerning PQ or the fear of falling into that Golem ditch on the way to Sleepywood... however we understand, and we will forever cherish it. Maplestory is dead to me, however it isn't forgotten... because every once in a while I will listen to some classic Maple tunes and think of the days when I'd walk around Victoria Island wearing a Pink-Dana, Sauna Robe, and Frozen Tuna feeling like a God.

Long live memories... thank you so much Maplestory for being apart of my life, I can truly say I love you."

@roca: it is a lost cause bcuz u r still here, am i mad bcuz u said Ms is broken? hell no, i see those post everyday, i said is broken, i know it is, then ur solution is to not play the game?I still play bcuz i njoy my time playing it, many friends still plays Ms, so we still play, if u dont need to explain ur point then why u r still here? waking up to reality? lol that ur opinion, sa i said not bcuz u believe that true thats a fact, dont waste ur time here and leave already, btw dont forget the "reality check", when some1 is agaisnt a system but is still part of it by his own will its just stupidity.

@lordanubis @terfil

Alright, this is a lost cause since you two can't seem to comprehend what I'm saying and just acting all butthurt. You two are simply not reading my statements. I don't even feel like I need to repeat myself. @lordanubis , you just sound straight up pissed that I'm calling your game broken. Are you even reading what I said? Everything you just said, I feel like I explained myself clearly already. You just sound really mad instead of waking up to reality to a broken game. @Terfil , I feel like you read a part of my reply and then stopped reading. Haha, am I really not explaining myself clearly or you two just too butthurt to see my points?

[quote=roca]Though your perspective is logical, my experience with Scania conclude that there are less people there. 24/7, all year round, whenever I would walk into the FM it would be filled from end to end. Now I see not even 5 people spamming to sell their spell traces. The most popular PQ (Only pq spot) is even dead during the light of day. It would be rare to find HS or Kanna to help with Romeo and Juliet. Before, having priest and DK at Papulatus was mandatory and it didn't take long to get a party going. Orbis pq, Ludi pq, carnival pq was running 24/7 no matter what time of the day. If Scania is this dead, I can only assume other worlds are most definitely dead. Even with more accounts made throughout the maple worlds, the amount of people who play Maplestory has definitely decreased. I assume you never played Maplestory before the big bang era? Even post big bang I would still consider maple lively.[/quote]

You are an idiot. The reason people dont spam in fm because its a waste of time and not efficient at the least.
Now with the fm site, a permit would suffice and cut your selling time to a mere fraction of spamming. You cant say something is dying cus people find out more efficient ways to get their job done.

[quote=roca]If it sounds like I'm dragging you down, that's not my problem. Though it is not my intention. I'm speaking from a non biased standpoint. If friends is what keeps you going, all the power to you buddy. I simply stated that the game was and still is broken. I admitted that the new features are improvements, the game actually got better. But the fact that it is is still broken, chased a lot of maplers away. I am simply answering his question in asking about the popularity of the game from my personal experience. In no way I am trying to be a Debbie downer. If you translated my facts and opinions on the current state of the game's popularity as a negative remark towards the game and feels like I am bashing and dragging people down, then you need a reality check. The game is BROKEN.[/quote]
u r not dragging me thats for sure, but for some1 who is making his last visit to basil u seem to care too much and u dont find anything better to do than say the game is broken bcuz is not what used to be ages ago, then the "reality check" should be done in ur side, im not saying Ms isnt broken, but it was like this in the past too, hackers always been there, exploits, ddos attacks, dupers, crashes, obviously potential system made this game p2w but even with that u still have ways to make ur way without nx, back in the past u still needed godly parties to boss, now SOME bosses can be soloed pretty easily, but the ones that really matter need a good party, not bcuz a couple of players can solo them means everybody can, non biased standpoint? u said ur leaving, so leave quietly and no1 will notice, leave like u r leaving now and is like u r asking for attention, the fact is that came back and u r still here, if is so broken and no1 plays anymore why u still here? why u waste ur precious time in basil? why not play another game? why u came back in tfirst place? u know? it doesnt matter bcuz u r leaving, so good bye!

[quote=LordAnubiS]people alwayscome to basil to try to bury Ms alive, if u dont like the game anymore just dont play it, dont try to drag people who still find it entertaining, obviously many players from pre big bang era(like myself a couple of years ago)will find themselves pretty lost, but if u still have friends playing then they can help u, if u dont know anybody in MS atm then dont come back, that will only make u quit faster than u think, so if u want play it if u dont then u know what to do...[/quote]

These aren't MMO's, but I casually play Diablo 3 (reaper of souls made this game 10x better) and Starcraft II. It keeps me busy, other than that I do not play video games. I use to be a hardcore mapler, but I got sick of this broken game. It's been almost 10 years, and it's still broken. I have to admit, I like the changes and new features, but they need to put more funds into security and servers.

[quote=roca]I came back just a couple weeks ago to check out the new content, only to be reminded why I quit to begin with. Unstable servers, game crashes and hackers. For those of you who got into maple just a couple years ago, Maplestory used to be filled with players. At least in Scania, if you were to get an FM 1 spot in any channel (ch 1-4 would be amazing, 5-10 would be great, 11-17 would be okay, 18-19 would be great) you would be able to sell your things efficiently. Ch1 FMs would be filled throughout. Maplestory was at it's peak from 2006 to 2011. Then maplers realized how bad Nexon treats their consumers. FMs are dead, pqs are dead, boss runs are a joke. Grinding only benefits those who have nothing better to do (no offense, for I was one of them when it took 4 hours to get from level 40 to 41 on my cleric at wraiths in 2005). Spending NX to only get hacked, work hard to achieve power only to have a hacker make a joke out of you with his range. DUDE, to answer you, yes, it's dead. and today will be my last visit to basilmarket.[/quote]
suggest me a mmo dawg, i feel like playing some mmos finishing log horizon
