Night Lord: The Best Class in Old School MapleStory

[@CraneXI]

I swear, this man can’t miss when it comes to these historical MS docuseries. I can’t get enough

I can't stress how insanely important your videos are to maintaining the memories and childhoods of so many people. Your content is so high quality that you deserve so many more subs.

[@c00lbandit1]

FOR REAL. Unlocking memories I had playing on my windows 98 with dial up internet going through Maple island

[@Bermix13]

The amount of knowledge you share, connects so many dots for me! And the editing, the slow and human pace of the video! makes it so pleasureable! I love you man! Waiting for the next videos about OSMS

[@AbbeRustMojo]

omg you actually took my clip from my old maple video on my channel. Its me mrshiniko1 at 0:23 Im honored to be in your video! and thanks for leaving my channel logo in the top right corner

This so exciting, gonna binge it. Also, I’m so happy I left my NL 126 video from 15 years ago up… the good old days

[@gantz5258]

The NL to Genji main pipeline must be studied

[@SmokeyEdits]

As someone who recently recreated the "Cursing is not allowed" popup by hand, please leave your MapleStory videos up. The only thing that made that possible were two old MapleStory videos that contained the popup, and even then they were so deep fried from age that the details were wildly unclear. I used two different screenshots because they each had different levels of compression. Made different details stand out. My point is, with the loss of BasilMarket, a lot of old Maple content is lost. Most of it is in these old videos on KZbin now.

[@aShamelessHigh]

i dont see it on your channel? your channel isn't even 10 yrs old :\

[@Arikadou]

[@aShamelessHigh]

@@Arikadou cool looking now 👍

[@pasteveryfate]

the vibe of early maple and the mid 2000s in general just hits different.

[@DefeatLust]

Can't ever be recreated ever again. What a time, wow.

[@mrloso]

Probably the most underrated time for this game, beyond all the WILD bugs and broken things in-game to the point of LITERALLY having accounts locked out due to "already being logged on" while not being logged on at all (during the Aqua road release) This game was probably MOST known for the communities tight knit and THOROUGHLY enjoyable playing experience from Boss fights to PQ's It was never truly the same after Big Bang. The only people who ask "Why do people even miss that version of maple" don't understand why it was good in the first place, or just DIDN'T play in those days, bottom line.

[@eludeirkz7961]

i think its because the game was developed with the mindset of "partying up is more overall exp" when they did away with that they killed the entire community of this game, i wish they would bring it back because the solo play is so draining and boring.

[@kaliboi0219]

​@@DefeatLust This is the reason why the private server scene sees the same people over and over and over and over again. 😂 It can't be recreated and people fiend for the good ol' days... Most p servers today always tack on "nostalgia" as a gimmick marketing device to win people's attention on GTop.

[@TheScrollguy]

honestly this is some of the highest quality maplestory content ive seen so far, hats off to you. as a maplestory content creator myself i think i can learn a lot from you. i hope to see a video like this for more of the Beta classes. keep up to great work man!

[@PumpedChef]

Damn, the editing makes it SO much more better. Thank you for this video and I hope we can get them coming for years

[@jacobbflexin]

Hell yes!!

[@douglasmalcolm9773]

As someone who managed to reach hermit pre-big bang, I always saw the replacement of Avenger with gust charm and shuriken burst, while a much more convenient set of MUCH earlier aoe options for assassin, as an insult to all my hard work. I don't care that it took longer to wind up and throw, or that it could only be thrown horizontally, it was the far cooler option to form and throw a gigantic throwing star to just buzzsaw through enemies.

[@PikaGMS]

Im only 12 minutes in but the editing is just top notch man. We're lucky to be blessed with such hight quality OSMS videos in 2024, keep up!

[@RichFay]

Thank you so much for putting this much time, care and love into your videos. Every month or so I get an irresistible urge to revisit Maple, so I download a private server, play for a few days and then life gets in the way. It’s like I’m always chasing that same unreachable high of being a kid again when Maple felt so new and we were all experiencing it together for the first time. The only thing that comes close to recapturing that same deep love for the game are your videos, and I can’t quite thank you enough for handling something so special to me with such attention to detail.

[@StucklnAWell]

Whoa the random throwback to Trickster Online too?? Remember when that was being advertised as "Simply better than maplestory"? I recall several of my friends quitting in anticipation of Trickster coming out... only to end up coming back a few months later.

[@aaronball4700]

Trickster was ridiculously p2w.

[@reavl6494]

Ghost Online was a better clone, played it quite a bit before quitting

[@gallopera]

i had fun with Wonder King for a while lol

[@brickogre]

Please make this a series! This video was such a throwback and you killed it!!

[@brickogre]

If you made one on White Knight I think I'd cry

[@Dedi369]

You should receive some kind of history medal for those videos. The amount of work is insane. And i’m in tears from the nostalgia in every single video.

[@cezar9966]

sauna robe, bambo hat, maple claw and running around with ilbies was my peak and i absolutely loved it! haha

[@QCCBigZam]

Disorder actually has a secondary effect that a lot of people forget to mention. It can de-agro enemies, even if the attack doesn't hit. I'm not proud of it, but there were a few times training on Pig Beach where I would coax the Iron Hog into people clogging up the bottom of the map, they would change channels to avoid the hog, and I'd use Disorder a few times to de-agro the hog and get back to grinding.

[@wonjontheaxolotl]

your editing is SO GOOD and it made me relive a sense of nostalgia, thank u so much

[@TornixNoPost]

YES. Finally Maplestory Old School Lore! Gotta be a good day~

[@HCG]

Great video. Please do more of these Old School MS deep dives with other classes.

[@robertpagdilao105]

I love how you added some story telling to go along with it. It really sets yourself as if you were actually there. Love it!

[@HermitObsessor]

Your Maplestory videos are amazing. Please continue with all your OSMS vids. I just binge watched your bishop, NL, and DK vids and they are EXCELLENT. So well done, so much nostalgia. I can’t wait to watch more of your vids and look forward to new ones you’ll make.

[@Patternman-Gaming]

In my country's long-closed server, Maple Throwing Stars were obtained from Gachapon. I miss those times so much. I played as a Night Lord up to level 164, equipped with a Dexless armor + Black Mamba, hitting 30K damage per hit. 15:26 You need to increase your Mastery level to level 5 in order to upgrade your Booster, and everyone in the Old School era will stop at level 11 because they will receive +2 ATK Speed at this level. Then, gather points to upgrade other skills first.

[@chuckz6802]

Togain, another beautiful video to regale in the glory days!!! You mentioning the limited availability of the VIP weapons reminded me of how upset the community was that you needed the perfect login streak for that incredible/BIS 1h BW lunchbox around the same time period!

[@TheKapuzina]

Production Value: Yes :D Seriously this was so much fun to watch!

[@CantyCanadian]

Togain video right on lunch break. I be eating good today.

[@hiphoprocklover2]

Nearly 20 years since i made my account and these old school Maple lore videos never cease to hit me with the biggest nostalgia wave

[@ikbenmarko]

Yep, hits me too! Started in 2006

[@mamaj3016]

Great video. I used to grind MS all day while listening to youtube videos in the background and this is the class I would play cause I thought it was the coolest. I never made it that far into the game but running around Kerning city doing quests for the thief master guy was super fun. I'm just glad the a lot of people still love this game and we have such high quality videos like this, MapleStory is a really special game.

[@SinZCrosS]

These docuseries really struck a chord in my nostalgia. Honestly it's what we had done back then being a new player and all, remembering it via a video form instead just black and white memories from my neurons really brought me back to the old days and almost made me cry. Thanks, bro.

[@yufeng1707]

This was a trip down memory lane. I knew everything you were talking about but just hearing about it again allowed me to relive the nostalgia albeit temporarily. Thank you, good sir.

[@AnimalisticGaming]

this right here was PEAAAAK GAMING, love the video man thank you for this i look up maplestory these days and dont even know what im looking at! much love

[@FunBox.]

Incredibly fantastic editing and narration. OSMS will forever have a place in my heart with these videos revealing to me just how much I didn't know about the game back when I was a kid just playing to have fun with friends.

[@PunYT]

To be honest? Avenger had what was probably the most satisfying attack sound in the game, at the time. The "SHING-THMP-THUP" right before you mow down a group of enemies was pure dopamine.

[@michaelwong2225]

@@PunYT preach !

[@ilikevideos4868]

Assassin was by far the coolest, that's why I always chose it. Also Kerning City music slaps

[@Ereklo_Game]

[@akinzer6267]

This was an amazing video! I'd love to see you cover the other OG classes at some point too!

[@MingTwoG]

Can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the video, hope you make more videos for other classes like CB, DK, and Bishop

[@badwolf8112]

Thanks. I miss those days. Being in a mmo that’s like its own world populated with its own communities not mostly in their Discord all the time. The game was such an experience. I feel it is only somewhat still is like that in some private servers. I hope an mmo can achieve it one day again. Very nice editing

[@dennisdoodlez]

I've watched this like 5 times already thanks for making the coziest videos on the net

[@OmegaShinku]

Man, you almost made me break my neck when you started going that night lords had Sharp Eyes, i was like "i do NOT remember that!" And man, i hope you cover dragon knights at somepoint. they were THE showoff class but their skill builds were very divided among the community at first. and also another of the classes that had washing as one of their mechanics this was a whole trip down memory lane. excellent video.

[@huryreef]

This is AMAZING, i want that for every Class :( props to you man, really great

[@momchi98]

I love the style of your videos so much! The nostalgic music from games that were a big part of my childhood, your beautiful voice, the detailed inspection of OS MS, just everything. Especially when I sip abit of wine beforehand, it just brings me so much comfort after a day of being an adult with a job.

[@danielmorris5470]

Just finished watching the entire video. Its very cool watching the history of maple cleanly presented. Especially because at the time I was just a kid, and honestly just didn't understand a lot of the game. All vibes no strategy tbh. Its crazy to think that during those times a lot of information was transferred through in game chat. Nowadays you can just look up the most optimal strat on google and find an answer. I miss those times. If they released an old school server it wouldnt be the same because of how social interactions online have become, but im sure it would be a heck of a lot better than anything I play today.

[@J0hn5mi7h42]

This editing is fucking OP holy balls. Loving the content, as always! Cool to see other early oldschool content creators making a cameo

[@Coffee.Entity]

Absolutely love this kind of long-form Maplestory history content. Crazy how nostalgic it makes me feel seeing this stuff, especially as a young Rogue player (Although I picked Bandit because I thought Savage Blow was a cool skill). Hope you continue to do similar videos! Would love to see maybe a follow-up about Big Bang, or even similar OSMS videos about other classes.

[@jeffreyramirez8988]

Love the production of this video. Very well made! Hope you continue your work and get far on KZbin! God Bless you!

[@dannynguyen9816]

This is my favorite youtube channel honestly. I was a child when Maplestory was around so I didn't understand anything at all. I remember going dexless sin just because it looked cool without knowing why I was doing it.

[@Krafftc]

I swear I got so lucky to find your channel. Amazing content and these docu videos I watch all the way through! Thanks!!

[@Capoodle]

I don't have any real history with MS, but the fact that I found this a good watch really says just how good the video is. Keep up the good work!!

[@smartball495]

I'd love more of these types of videos about the other older classes

[@qwertiedota]

A little more fun fact: Sindit (or assasin-bandit) was a thing because lucky7 is just so much better than doublestab, people will use lucky7 until they max their savage blow. Meba was one of the best claw for dexless before the introduction of maple weapons also because of its low requirement of 50 dex. Even on low budget, people will get bathrobe and buy 100% scrolls for dex to hit 35 dex. Brown bamboo to 38. From here you either add 12 points to dex or buy earrings/capes. Getting the 100% wa on meba is also extremely valuable. WA on claws just scale so much higher than other weapons. A +7 WA on meba is as good as a lvl40 claw, not to mention its super cheap to build, cause all these scrolls are available from NPC

[@jacobbflexin]

So awesome man, great info and nostalgia

lol… I remember paying a guild for a zhelm when reaching 50.

[@Whitefangblackflame]

A correction, the headless horseman was available in a separate map than the one shown, idk the name but it had several leprechauns (i think 5) on it and was entirely flat. It was a hidden map. It wasnt very populated because I dont think many people knew about it, but that made it super easy to farm headless through all channels making the down time roughly negligible when I first started killing him, to when I could kill him in only a few seconds. I did this as nightlord, but im pretty sure he was on farm even before that came out as I remember the launch of crimson wood and then the castle later. This is all based on memory but I know the map was there and the exp was fantastic. Those leprechauns never did drop me any steelys though.

[@jesperveltried9772]

Incredible video, revisiting old MS this way really makes me appreciate the game more retrospectively. Despite all its flaws, class design was very creative and diverse which modern MS severely lacks.
