Is it worth trying again?

HOLY EFFING CRAP, I haven't played Maplestory in FOREVER... It's probably been two years. And I just overheard someone talking about new classes? What's been going on ( Read more... )

As someone who played in the old days, I can tell you that maple is an entirely different game now. There is little sense of community and the game is easy to an annoying level. It's about to become worse since an entirely game-changing/breaking series of patches is coming out starting in December ( ... )

D: Wow.

It sounds like it's become super shitty.... I remember they rumored about the pirate right before I stopped (Like, maybe a WEEK), but it didn't matter since training was so hard for me... No empty maps, hacks abounding... But maybe I should see if it's easier to level now, because I just need something to waste empty hours after work...

It's shitty, but it's still fun as long as you play with friends. I personally only play because of my guild, but I was that way even back then, lol.

It is WAY easier to level now. You can get to level 40 in one day, pretty much. I don't like it being so easy, but... if you just want to play casually, that's probably more appealing.

The biggest problem now is that it's hard to play at all if you're not a millionaire irl. The game is highly based on things you buy in the cash shop, and you can only be far below mediocre in the game if you don't spend at least $50 a month on the game. It's still possible to play without paying (I still spend what I did in the old days- $15 over 3 months for a shop and my pet loots), but you'll never be "good enough".

Again, though, if you're only playing casually, that likely doesn't matter to you.

Yep, I quit about two years ago too. Level 50-something Hunter. I saw the start of pirates, they were kind of cool. But yeah, everything has become $$ based. You can't get anywhere, any equips, have any fun without ploughing $$ into it. I don't even know why I still have it installed.

Hey, so I just tried to look up my character in the rankings, and I see the name but no picture... My old Login isn't working either. I don't remember deleting my character; I had like 50mil in hard earned mesos, and some quality gear... But it was two years ago, so I dunno. Sadface...

Gonna provide a dissenting voice here and say that the game is not really any worse than it used to be. In fact, in many respects, it's better.

Just... not quite good enough to make a regular player out of me. I hardly ever log in anymore.

And now I'm trying to install, and the installer says my firewall isn't allowing it to communicate with it's servers. THe program is on the Allow list, and Windows firewall isn't blocking it... Is Maple crazy with Norton?
