Old School MapleStory Is Tough...And I LOVE IT! | My Artale Experience

[@RickySama240]

Currently a Bandit enjoying the classic experience of Maplestory along with the quality of life changes! I really do hope find a way to increase server popularity. The servers capped at 50 makes the experience pretty boring. Experiencing classic combat is nice, but i would like the social aspect to shine more on Artale. ☺

I find it bizzare people enjoy playing oldschool maplestory. As someone who grew up playing it on launch and playing now it feels so dated. I tried artale it just feels like a single player old school experience. With the server caps at 50 it doesn't even feel close to the old school experience besides the combat. I think the comparison with oldschool runescape and classic wow is not really accurate. Those are both developed by the companies that produced the game where as artale is some random creator. Old school runescape and modern runescape are also completely different combat systems.

Artale has been receiving constant updates and right now there's PQs like Ludi/KPQ and even Moon Bunny and the level cap goes way beyond that, to the point that there's already people close if not already level 100 (or higher), 50 player cap can be rough but at least channels keeps getting created to compensate Also I believe you missed the point of the comparison, I'm not saying that Artale is developed the same way as OSRS or Classic WoW, I said the reason they make them and the reason people play any of these is because of nostalgia, which is probably why it might feel outdated to some but some might enjoy it.

@@JonNario94 My response isn't suppose to be an attack on artale or YOU im just curious why people play it. I personally don't understand the point of playing it when there are private servers with huge player bases that have similar rates and are more polished. I don't really think people play wow classic or osrs is for nostalgia i think they are just more immersive mmos. Where as artale is just nostalgia driven. Which is fine if people enjoy it. + if the developer doesn't want to add content or it is no longer profitable they can just abandon it all together.

@@guixanyr why? the nostalgia is why. why not a private server? well a lot of them disappear and have you download a launcher that usually gets deleted because of trojan virus. this is the closest to a nexon official old school maplestory. Plus a lot of the reasons why is because of the more simplicity. Maple nowadays has WAY too much going on that you would need to make it a full time job that forces you to do Overtime and doesnt want to compensate you one it, all to just be average. Simplicity is such a great way to draw people in, like it originally did all those years ago. Aretale is more than nostalgia driven as its fixed a lot of things that werent fun, like giving 2x exp rates, making sure archers etc dont swing when attacking because a monster is too close

artale has a huge issue, is the drop rate isnt known, damage formulaes and skill revamps at the whims of the community and the technical lack thereof knowledge of the maker. not to diss them, just pointing some stuff out. but i do understand its design more as a pocket maple. people says the UI is even better on the phone than the pc. so yea.
