What are some old Nostalgic maps that still exist in-game?
I've played since Beta with a few year hiatus in-between. Maps came and went, lots of old nostalgic maps are removed now; however, some still exist.
I recall some special moments like on the road to Sleepywood and deep within Ant Tunnel. Those are all gone.
I recall when Orbis came out, it was chaos. The Orbis ship remains but the people are gone. /sad/
However, Entrance to Orbis Tower gives me a sense of nostalgic including the maps walking down. Almost makes me want to take the scenic route down.
I also recall when Ludibrium was released and it took ages to get there and try to kill things. Along with the Chronos maps for training for a measly .01-.02 per kill @ around level 38. The map in front of map also brings back memories because regardless if I killed it or not, I visited it and hung out with friends there.
What are some maps that still exist that bring back nostalgia for you?
You can note:
-When you started playing
-If that map has changed at all
-Significance of the map to you
[b]You can make a list of /maps that are gone/ and /maps that still exist/.[/b]
I look forward to reading the responses.

@sadvirgin: Ah ok, Thanks for letting me know.
[quote=shengnoob]Started playing in 06, I would choose the 101st Floor Eos Tower (the place for Ludi PQ lvl 35-50). Brings back alot of memories with clicking, tracking (even scouting), needing a mage and a thief, the two different styles for the 2nd last stage, and the occasional summon bags of Balrogs in channel 1 that kills 30-40 people instantly.
Map has not changed, but PQ has changed, and since all PQs moved to a general location, the map is basically useless and empty now.
It always brings back memories when I am in Ludi, I think of the Eos Tower. Maple was different back then, people relied on each other much more and the community was better[/quote]
You can't actually get to 101st floor through Ludi anymore. They removed the portal to it. Very depressing, or I'd afk there all the time.

Your mom. I used to play on her till I realized that I couldn't make link mules like that (only can with opposite gender. Nexon is homophobic and won't let gey couples procreate for link mules.) I was forced to move on after that but I still see her around El Nath Market Place and Maya's House. She still says 'hi' to me and asks me for money to help buy nx for you...it's nostalgic and makes me feel a bit happy so I tend to give her whatever I have with me inside that old Hannah Montana handbag you gave me when you got your new Ariana Grande one...I also chip in potions and mesos when I can, as well, so that she can make use of those too.
Your mom is a nice lady. I wish she hadn't been with your dad so I could have her...but then I wouldn't have any other way to get my Disney handbags and skirts since you wouldn't be alive to get them and pass your old ones off to me.
I started GMS mid 2007, but I played TMS and MSEA since Beta. My main criticism is actually how Nexon compacted maps after Big Bang. Given the accessibility of flash jump and various other transportation, I wouldn't mind they resize the maps to make the maple world feel bigger and funner to explore. I just can't believe Big Bang was nearly five years ago; I'm even starting to feel nostalgic for Elluel.
I get nostalgia from any of these maps (across all versions I've played), in no specific order:
1) Shanghai Wai-Tan
2) Ximending Night Market
3) Thailand Floating Market
4) L's Forest
5) Threeway Crossroad
6) Someone Else's House
7) New Leaf City town center
8) Amoria
9) Cursed Sanctuary / Ant Tunnel Park
10) Tera Forest
11) Waterway Maze (Guild PQ)
12) Henesys Hunting Ground I
13) Caution: Falling Down
14) East/West Domain of Perion
15) Ellinia: North Forest
16) Slime Tree
17) CPQ Lobby
18) Land of Wild Boar
19) Pig Beach
20) Orbis PQ/ Ludibrium PQ
21) Old Lith Harbor
22) Forest of Golems / Golem Pit / Golem Temple
23) Shumi / Sabitrama / Shane's jumpquests
24) all Warning Street maps
25) Utah's Farm
26) Dogon's HQ / Omega Sector Silo
maple was not the same when henesys hunting ground was changed.
The Victoria Island station for the orbis ship is still unchanged.

I enjoyed walking from hene to sleepywood and falling in those spike ball pits
Old Kerning City was the last time I saw my friend Kagome4812 in 2008. Hope you're doing well, buddy.
I always enjoyed Amoria.
[quote=zerosuited]Henesys Game Center. Most people don't even remember this place exists.[/quote]

Henesys Game Center. Most people don't even remember this place exists.
@horsechub: Yay, It's so fun
@traitor : Sure does !
Just got to start the quest, like the old time, with John's pink flowers.
[quote=traitor]Any idea if the Sleepywood one still exists? The one with the Mysterious Statue?
This reminds me also for Forest of Golem...[/quote]
ya it does i still get warped in it when i npc chat the wrong npc
My favorite map in the game will always be Deep Inside the Clocktower (map with pap portal in it). It hasn't really changed much at all aside from the addition of the Mystic Gate. Back in 2007-2008 my friends and I would make an adventure out of walking to that map since we were much lower leveled than all the monsters down there. Gatekeepers 1-2HKO'd/stunned us, and Thanatos always smacked us with status effects. It always felt like such a huge map so we did silly things like races (no tele/fj!) across the map and things like that. Had a lot of great memories there, so a few years ago when I was going for 200 on my sair, I decided to level in that map.

[quote=horsechub]I started playing in 2007, and as both a noob and an aspiring bandit, I hunted Octopuses (Octopi) around kerning city for HOURS and HOURS. The maps changed but the feel is still very much the same. Also bubblings, those used to kill me all the time. Does anyone know if they're still around in the subway?[/quote]
No longer in the subway, they're alongside slimes in Ellinia now unfortunately.
Omegasector is gone sadly. Eos tower travel was such a struggle. No down jumps. Dozens of floors. No return scroll. Only way of returning was suicide or capsule.
Sleepywood Sauna?
Aqua hasn't been touched at all.
Henesys Hunting Ground 1, Pig Beach, Land of Wild Boar. I don't think they exist anymore but those were the 3 places you needed to find a spot and lock down if you ever wanted to get to 30.
