Coming back to maple

Hi,

I'm free for college break so I have a month and a half to blow before I go on a study abroad break. I figured maplestory would be a good way to occupy my time before I leave to study.

What should I do to optimize my "fun-ness" for this month and a half? Should I play in a big server or a small one? Should I put a small amount of NX down? What job should I play? That type of stuff.

[quote=CheapMerchant]Come Join Windia I just rejoined not a while back and I'm remaking as well - we could remake together if you're looking for someone to train with/early level bossing.
Windia's also decently populated, so its pretty good.

As for maximizing fun, I suggest you do PQs, bosses, and events. Might be slower for training, but it's more fun imo.[/quote]

[quote=iiRoxanne]Do people no longer do boss runs in a group? I'm so confused..[/quote]
yes.
Unless its those CRA bosses where u need bunch of ppl with like 1+mil range. After unleashed patch, the dmg cap went from 1mil to 50mil(and +5mil per each lvl200 hyper skill buff). MS is a really time consuming game where u need to work so much to get meso. If you are only playing for 1 1/2 months, then I do not recommend you to come back to MS.

in a month in a half is when the addiction starts to kick in.
it will be hard to escape that fun.
you will make many friends and unforgettable memories that will bug you while you study, and you might eventually give in and start playing again.
and why waste money on a game you will might only play for a month and a half?

and chances are, you wont be able to solo zak/ht starting fresh, with no experience in a month and a half.
which is why you will want to keep playing even after you break when you should be studying.[/quote]

[quote=DrRomance]Yeah if you start playing again don't be one of those noobs, get some nx and make a class that looks fun to you. I'd go on Windia since the people there are the best-of-a-bad-situation (everyone on Maple are becoming more antisocial by the year but Windia has the best) and it's one of the more populated servers.

A month and a half probably gives you enough time to start a character and complete most of the 9th Anniversary event stuff, since you have no classes, but yeah you probably want to join a fun guild and hopefully have some FUN[/quote]

Thanks so much. My favorite part about maple was bossing with people. A friend let me okay around on his character last night and I got to lvl 30 in about 40min. Could you give me a time range for what level I'd be able to boss zakum/ht on and how long it would take to get to that?

you guys aren't helping. I was super addicted to this game when I was in middle school but in ended up going to a top engineering university and I still got my stuff done. I just wanted to play maplestory for a month and a half to kill some time o.o

you don't have to be extremely addicted. it's just gonna keep you playing and playing and draw you in </3 there are so many daily things to do... even when it's not an event time (which is like never. i don't remember the last time there was no ongoing event). i'm playing less and less, but i'm still playing... and still using basilmarket >.<

[quote=crispychream]well, then you will be out on the streets before you know it.
i advise you just keep studying. if i had, i could have been something great now. i could have been a doctor or lawyer or someone successful.
btw maybe your old characters have some nice equips and collectables some players want, so if your going to play, check them out first and don't delete them.[/quote]

I actually forgot my nexon id for my old accounts... remaking isn't a big deal because a friend probably stripped my account when he temporarily started playing last summer

[quote=crispychream]little by little, every day you will get drawn to the game and you will drop out completely and live in your parents garage like me.[/quote]

Lol. I guess it's convenient that my parents don't have a garage lol...

I last played maple before the Big Bang patch, so that was like 3 years ago. My characters are pretty useless now
