Maplestory Theme Music - Intro

[@CoWsGoNeighh]

This comment goes out to Maple Community back in the day. Whether you're in college now, or working full time, or behind the computer screen reading this, we can all agree there is a level of nostalgia when we listen to old classic MS music. You'll find in any of these videos, people voicing their memories or their favorite experiences that this game had for them. So this comment goes out to all of you. Cheers to all the people I have ever partied with, pq'ed with, trained long hours with, became friends with through guilds/adventures/anywhere, hell, you(the reader) and I might have been friends. That's the point I'm coming across with, the level of connectivity when we were all younger playing this game. The classic experiences we all probably experienced, ex: waiting for the Orbis ship and meeting people, dying at golems, getting to 3rd job, or stuck in El Nath/Sleepywood because you were so damn curious as a noob. I love reading comments of those voicing their memories, because we were all there. Times do change, they really do, and that's why this music hits all of us because it reminds you of the past, when we were young and it was simple. I'm going to speak for everyone here agreeing that we all want to "play" the old maplestory but just can't, you are not alone. Anyways, I hope this comment brought comfort and conclusion. I know a lot of you are reading this and can relate.

quad god why did u make me cry ...

[@bobbyplays5113]

quad god I still play old private servers... but for some reason that I can't touch, maybe the community, maybe the time that has passed, it just doesn't feel the same anymore. I wish there was a private server with thousands of players, run by awesome and super dedicated people. With no updates, ever! The only reason people stick around stuff like MapleRoyals is the free NX and multiplied EXP rates. In my opinion, that shit ruins the old classic experience.

[@himura-miki]

The memories of playing late at night after school, grinding for a bit, running around with friends, forming and growing a guild, doing GPQ, KPQ, LPQ, OPQ. The nights just stuck sitting there waiting for PQ, chatting with people while hoping to get a party. Racing a friend from 1 to 50 with the same class. Sitting in town and just chatting, using Manos's shell to turn into a snail while everyone tries to smack you. It's like homesickness, for a place that only existed in a digital world, and a childhood that I'll never be able to experience again.

[@stefanoponce6090]

Usamaru Pyon I miss those days so much! Making good friends and hanging out with them... Everyone's desperation to get good items... Dedicating time to level up, while planning your strategies to upgrade your stats and your skills... Seeing higher levels character and treating them with respect and saying "I can't wait to get to that level!" or "Wow! I wish I was that class so I could have that skill!"... All of that is gone now! It's just too easy to level up, it's too easy to get the items you want, they guide you through every step you have to make! There's no sense of accomplishment; there's nothing that inspires you to make your character grow. Maybe that's why Maplers don't talk to each other now. Because they don't need to. In the old days, you needed people's help in order to get more exp or guidance on anything. Now the NPCs do everything for you. I know it's just a game, but it represents a huge part of my childhood and my teenage years. So, it makes me kind of sad to know that I can't revive those moments.

This game, the vibe, the soundtrack, the community, it was and will always be something else.

When I hear this login screen bgm, that you were so often forced to wholly listen to because you couldn't login because of internet issues or something else, I feel things nothing else can make me feel. When I think about certain aspects of freedom of this game, it gives me feelings nothing else can give me. I don't know how to explain it, I just can't. There's something beyond unique about having this game fried in my brains, and it's the best thing I could've ever wished for. I'm so grateful that I have experienced MapleStory, as this is and will always be the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I'd like to call it the Maple feeling.

[@rlagusrlagus]

This music makes me really sad. Not because of the memories of the game I had, but because of the memories I couldn't have. I was brought up in Korea and all my primary school friends played Maple. We talked about it all the time, and collected/traded Maplestory related card things at school (kind of like yu gi oh cards). The game looked super fun, but my parents were pretty strict and didn't let me play it. On my 8th birthday, they said they would give me 10 minutes a day of 'gaming time', but by the time I had logged in to maple they told me it was time to go off. When I protested, they told me I was addicted, and they just banned it altogether. The only time I got to play the game is at one of my best friend's houses. The room where we'd play maple and this really nice smell to it, because his mum used to make soaps as a part-time job. As I listen to music from the game now, the fragrances of all sorts of fancy soaps from a decade ago still spring to my mind. Even at my friend's house, I didn't get to play all that much. He'd let me on one of his lower level characters and I'd get to play for around half an hour. It was barely any length, but to me it meant the whole world - the game just felt magical. Hoping one day I'd be able to play the game for myself, I collected tons of guidebooks, posters, comic books and merchandise. I read through all of the guidebooks, trying to remember all their contents, every single little tip. Some of the guidebooks had NX codes in them, and I carefully wrote them down, waiting for the day that I would eventually be able to play the game and redeem them. When I was around 11, my family moved to the UK. I brought all my precious guidebooks with me. When we came, we bought a new laptop, and I was allowed 30 minutes of 'internet' time a day. I finally downloaded maple, but the laptop was really bad, and every time I launched it, no matter what I tried, it would always come up with an error saying it could not connect to the servers. On the rare occasion that it did run, my parents took the laptop away saying my internet time was up. Over the last few years, I had entirely forgotten about the game, all of my guidebooks lying isolated and dusty in some cupboard in my room. I played other games that my British friends played, like Minecraft of League of Legends instead. Last month, I was tidying up my room when I came across a really old Maplestory guidebook from 2004, and decided to finally play the game. This time my family had come to their senses about me and my computer usage (after all I'm 18, they can't really restrict the time I spend playing games anymore). I dug up all the guidebooks, and found, unfortunately, that all the NX codes had expired. But that didn't matter, right? At least I was finally, at the age of 18, for the first time ever, able to play the game I'd been wanting to play since as far back as I can remember. But the game that I played that day was not Maplestory. It instead was a mere shadow of its former self. The game looked different in every way that it did to my memories of it, and to the screenshots in the 2004 guidebook. I remember back in the 00s being impressed by my friends being over level 70. Last month, it took me merely a single day or two to reach level 150. Levelling had lost its value. Tons of new, over-the-top classes. Ones that START and level 100. Level 100 used to be such a huge achievement, but now all anyone has to do is just make a character, and voila, it's level 100. Victoria island was completely different. Everything jumbled up, the map sizes shrunken. There were barely any players. The HUD was different. The game I had been waiting to play for over a decade was gone. After a week of playing this husk of a game, I uninstalled it and once again, my guidebooks are starting to gather dust in a corner of my room. I am distraught. I waited soooooo long for this game, but the game did not wait for me. It had changed beyond recognition. I envy all of you who have had such a wonderful time playing this game. I envy your nostalgia and your memories of the game. You may be sad that you will never get your game back, that it has changed for the worse, but please, cherish the time you had playing it. I would give away an arm and a leg just to have some of your nostalgia and memories, good or bad, that you had playing it. Treasure your beautiful memories of this game that I never managed to play. Treasure them and please, never let them go.

[@paragonza7529]

I feel so ungrateful now. I often feel like I didn't do enough in the original MS, I'm always thinking "Man, I should've leveled up to a high level when I had the chance, to see what it was like being strong in those days." And of course, "I wish I could go back." But now I see that it was a privilege just to be able to experience Maple in 2005 through 2010. So I feel so sorry for wanting more, and I feel sorrier that you didn't get to play in the old days, I really think you deserved to.

I agree. coming from someone who only picked up MapleStory reboot recently, it's crazy to think that despite sharing a name, the game I'm playing is completely different to that which is being mourned over.

Thank you Maplestory. When I was a kid during 2006 to 2015 when I graduated highschool and started college, you molded me to who I was during that point. All the people I have met in those years, though I no longer remember almost everyone, will forever be in my hearts. I was able to communicate with thousands of individuals from all over the world broadening my perspective in life. Learned things from everyone that I could never have learned during those younger years. Learned how to have fun in an adventure especially with friends and enjoyed the littlest of things. Those were the most beautiful years of my youth. The party quests, the party grinding, the expeditions, exploring new areas as low leveled idiots in the deep parts of leafre, THE BOAT RIDE TO ORBIS AND BACK, henehoeing, window shopping at FM, laughing at people who got tobened in that slime quest, and so much more. I wonder where you all are now, I wish I could see you all and thank you for the memories that we've shared. To everyone who played this game during its best years, I wish you the best of luck in your lives and may you never forget these memories. I love you, -A player from GMS Bera batch 2006

I remember that whenever my game crashed I got pretty mad (you know, might've been in a fight or something, it's pretty frustrating when it does crash), but everytime this music started playing I instantly calmed down. Sometimes I just sat at the log-in screen to listen to the music before finally logging in and playing. This is -by far- my favorite game music, it's amazing.

[@JDimitrius433]

Sometimes I really wish I could just go back to the good old days, before Big-Bang. The nostalgia is so precise that it will never leave my memory. Yet, most of us have moved on and that age is gone. What remains now is a lost realm and likely will not come again, unless Nexon or whoever runs the game nowadays just hits the reset button and restores a classical Maplestory.

MapleStory has some of the best video game OST I've ever heard. Nothing else has quite captured its beauty and timelessness and lasting impression on my soul.

[@RohsalPlayer]

I just wanted to leave my record here: I played Maple Story Global in 2005 or 6 until 2010. - I remember being on the boat for 15 minutes afraid to get out because I was too noob to face the flying Balrogs. And hope not to taking DC. - I remember traveling the dangerous road from Henesys to Sleepwood and seeing level 50 characters and thinking "wow, I want to get to that level one day" and afraid of falling into stone golems. - I remember being stuck in Sleepywood for 2 days as a beginner and not being able to get out due to the high damage of the snakes. Or JumpQuests (I hated thisssss). - I remember doing PQs with groups full of wonderful people (others not so much). - I remember being happy to find a quick way to Ludibrium using the Orbis>Aquarium>Right Tower Ludibrum traversal. - I remember creating expeditions with my newbie friends (who were thirsty for exploration) to go on a journey to the deepest cave in Sleepwood after reaching the dreamed level 60 and thinking I was immortal (mere mistake). - I remember the creation of my first Guild "EliteBR" and the GPQ disputes against the other clans. - These and thousands of other stories... Memories... - I was just a teenager who spent the night playing with friends (some from real life). And I have this feeling of "I want those old times again" but they don't come back. And we have to accept that. obs> And believe me, I've even tried to play the pirated versions with the old versions, but it's not the same thing. But let's think on the positive side: We lived through it. We had that opportunity. We have to be grateful. It was beautiful and we can have this sense of love. And this is beautiful. ❤️ Edit1: Sorry about my English. It's not my native language.

I cherish the wonderful memories I have of this game. Each weekend morning, I would eagerly rise; powering up my computer to reach this enchanting login screen. Once it was booting up I'd run downstairs and grab a fresh cinnamon roll my mother would pick up at the grocery store that morning. With a glass of milk and roll in my mouth I'd run back upstairs popping my headphones on eating while listening to this music before logging in for my weekend adventure. Whenever I yearn to relive those heartwarming moments, I embark on a quest to the neighboring grocery store, picking up the same cinnamon roll and a glass of milk to immerse myself back to those warm memories.

A wise man once said, "Do not cry for what you have lost. Cherish for what you have experienced." Let us close that chapter of our lives, for we know it will always be vivid in our hearts. The Maple Era was an important stepping stone in our growth. But it was just a stepping stone nonetheless. It is time to move on. Push forward so that we may one day experience that same degree of happiness, albeit in a difference medium than Maplestory. But if we return to the current Maplestory to chase that elusive joy from our childhood, we will only end up disappointed and empty handed.

I used to play this game on international servers before I was transferred to a local one where as the young teenager who never been out of my city, Hong Kong, would realize how many different folks out there in the world from the States and Europe. Truly a life changing experience, the fun I will have with dumb trades, marketplace steals and chats. All the innocence, uncompetitive friendships, nostalgia of an unending exploration in Maple Story. I was crying first when I heard the song and you might. But hey, I want y'all to be happy and well from the bottom of my heart, thanks for being in my childhood experience and please, do in Maple Story as you would in your life. Cherish and go out with those who would accompany you. You have a friend here.

[@marks5003]

Its strange how one game can make us reminisce the good time. That time was 2005-2007 where we were just kids, grinding, slacking or some might say, just chilling. Back then everything was so nice, the music, the art, animation etc. We would rush home just to play for hours with friends, hanging out with guidmates, pq. It was the fun and adrenaline when we play drop game, scamming fames, defame( for no reason just to get a reaction out from them), you name it. One of the reason why all adults now feel nostalgic is because of the innocence back then. Now, some are working, having a family etc. Life was just mapling and exploring new places and advancing. We look forward for the cool skills we were going to have. It was the excitement we crave and the satiafaction of our achievement. Be it killing a boss, successfully rolled a pass on 10% scrolls , and even leveling. All those memories are constructed when our feelings and emotions were burnt along with the events that occured. We would discuss with our friends about maple in school, what job is better, when can we boss zakum for 6 parties. Back then it needs a lot of parties to kill. Me and my friends had our jobs/role arranged. But sadly, only i get to go further than them. Maybe due to parents restriction, leveling is hard, im not sure why they didnt grind with me. In the end, We didnt manage to zkm. But its all good. It was really fun while it last and i miss it so so much. It impacted our lives but all things must come to an end. Somewhere in another universe where time is stil 2005-2007ish, we are still mapling. And in that timeline, we were the happiest we could ever be.

They don't make games like this anymore, that's for sure. 2008-2013 player here. My friends at school got me interested in this game, we would play for hours, i was the runt of my group, they would help me level up around ellinia (I was a mage). I remember a few random people i friended in game and we would travel all over to grind levels. Remember getting to 2nd job was a huge achievement.....made multiple characters to try out different playstyles and quest lines........this game had a lot of grinding but with friends, it all worked out. Along with the incredible music, it easily allowed me hours and hours of play time, never seemed like that long. Im 25 now.......and honestly, this game was in a part of my life that almost feels alien to me. I remember making characters and stuff but i don't know what happened to me to where i don't feel the same good nostalgic feels i used to in the past from hearing the music. I've become a depressive person and everything i used to love feels foreign. I hope all my mapling friends i met are doing ok, i know i loved the hell out of this game like you all did

God I remember the first time I played this game back in 2005. Was 16 years old and my sister introduced it to me. I was so excited to play an mmo that was a side scroller. My computer was in my room and hers was in the upstairs office so we'd leave the land line phones next to our desks on speaker so we could talk while we played since we had no idea about Skype. Used to spend crazy hours of the day and night in and around Henesys and Perion training our archers and questing together. She eventually stopped playing as her interests shifted and I slowly stopped too. It became lonely logging in by myself. In this last year I discovered private servers hosting the og maple and I logged on excited to relive those feelings but it wasn't the same. Playing maple was one of the best times I had with my sister. I really miss it.

I learnt one of the greatest lessons of my life from a player in this game. When I was low level and in need of equips, an I/L Archmage heard my plea and gave me a wealthy sum of mesos (it was actually nothing for a pro like him but was everything to me), after he did so he asked that when I get stronger and have my own wealth that I help 3 others, and to ask of them the same thing. I have taken that lesson with me throughout not only this game but my entire life. So thank you stranger, I'll never forget it.

[@LapisRoseCh]

I don't have that many memories of Maplestory, but I can distinctly remember bits and pieces of the music and certain events, having been on a massive grind for some of elementary school, which would have been 2003-2005 ish. (My parents banned it after realizing that I played it too much after 2 years) When I was in Kindergarten and 1st grade, I'd literally get home and start playing, playing as some kind of fast firing archer and fighting in different places. I last remember being in some kind of desert area. Before that, I remember using emotes and walking around with randoms, jumping around and using facial expressions. Sometimes, high level players would drop bags of coins on the ground as people scrambled to pick them up, myself included. I can remember bonding with my older sister, who also played a TON of MS back in the day. She was... a high level wizard of some kind, and I last remember her raiding against some kind of time clock monster thing. Don't remember the name. But we also chatted and played and did all kinds of content together. I'd even babysit her account sometimes, though she would always tell me not to fight too much on her character for fear of me dying to mobs or something because of our level and playstyle differences. I can remember being scammed by some kind of duplication glitch thing where people were talking about duping rare items, giving them some kind of bow of mine, and then them running off. My sister scolded me after that kek. I... I miss Maplestory. I can't really recall that many specific memoires, but I know that it was... so much fun. It was my first introduction to people online since I didn't have AOL or Myspace or anything, and it was there that I learned that it was just so EASY to find topics of interest with other people in games! About drops, about skills, about how school was, about certain mobs, game stories, about cosmetics, about life, just anything and everything. I'll always treasure those few memories, and the music is always just so good.

[@vanillafoodie]

Ahh, nostalgia~ this was the start to the best chapters in my life. I remember having a very crappy PC and had to share it with my sister and brother. My sister introduced me to maple and helped created an account for me which made me had my very first hotmail too. I was so excited and remembered the countless download I had to try to get in this game because we had lousy wifi and the PC wasn't the best. Maplestory was also well known back in the day in my city for being difficult to download, needed to leave your PC on for the entire night. I remember failing it and goin to my cousins house to play it and watch them play too. We took turns and stayed up late nights together, having sleepovers just to maple together and finding bfs or gfs in maple together. I also rmbr abandoning my first warrior char because she was in a different server from my cousins and sister, and I saw how cool my sister's mage char was and that she could get job adv at lv. 8. Gosh, I could write an entire novel of my experience in Maplestory. It was a golden era when it was first created.

+EXtroversion back in the day, you could roll your characters stats around, and basically you'd keep rolling until you got amazing base stats for your character, and you'd do it from the character select. while rolling, you'd hear nothing but this song.

Item rolling too, I got brown working gloves from that roll but unfortunately throw it away thinking it is a trash, feel bad man.

I remember when I was 8 years old. Me and my brother would sleep over at my cousin's house and play videogames all night. It was back then when he introduced Maplestory to me. This game gave me so many beautiful memories, it's unreal. I could barely speak english back then but I never felt more connected with people on a game. The endless grinding with people u just met, exploring the islands together, not knowing what was laying ahead. Falling in love with that one girl online, waiting everyday for her to come online and play together. Travelling with random people to Orbis and being scared to death by the Balrog. When I left the ship I always made new friends. Making a HP warrior so I could run past the golems in Ludi PQ. Spending 30+ minutes to crack the code in stage 8... Spending hours in the tutorial to go to Amoria for the hairquest and getting the coconut head haircut.. The reason why I liked Maplestory so much is because it was challenging. When I died in the game it was a huge deal because I lost like 10% EXP and that was like 20 min grinding at lvl 40. People used to talk with each other while lvl'ing up and doing party quests, I miss the small talk in dungeons. Nowadays people just want to level as fast as possible and don't talk. It doesn't feel like you're playing together with people online. Back in the day u needed like 50 people for Zakum, now people just solo dungeons. I played private servers but they never gave me the same satisfaction as the old Maplestory. I will always remember this game. Such a masterpiece with beautiful music and challenging content. RIP Maplestory
