Soloing Zakum was a big thing and several people were doing it, but even the strongest I/L on the server couldn't do it.

The main goal was always level up and gear up as a focus, and everything else came second. You didn't meet people at the FM constantly spamming the same phrase over and over for hours, you didn't meet people in hidden street trainning levels because you literally COULDN'T, however you did *maybe* meet people on the Ferry from Maple Island to Orbis because everyone was stuck waiting for that stupid shit system of a Ferry, they were forced there. They didn't go there of their own free will to meet people. You're fooling yourself if you think that's what Maplestory was truly about.

As an old school F/P mage, both poison mist and poison brace/breath shared the same damage formula for damage over time. Lovely if the mobs could be poisoned and damage was looking fairly good. Not so much when at Risell squid and the regular squid would choke the maps resulting in clawing the bloody things to death. But to with regard the comments on Boomers in NLC from earlier. Insanely laggy if one didn't manage the rate of kills and poison before the spawning mechanic was nerfed to the ground. In my case, first hand experience as a f/p who was loaded out as a pizard (A mainly poison based build). Chain that to a little fun with Bigfoot while it still could be poisoned. Much fun if you could kite for 40 seconds while abusing the Jr. Wraiths that littered the maps for the invincibility time. 2.3 million experience for a bit of work was truly broken at that point. Poison also came in rather handy for the original Ludi PQ as well. Didn't matter if we took the set of eyes that was magic resistant. If it could be poisoned, it was fair game. Or for that matter, the only PQ boss that could be poisoned at the time being King Slime.

[@oblivion539]

Honestly old school maplestory was pretty balanced in my eyes. Mages got a map wide skill, but were shit at bossing which was another completely viable way of lvling.

The thief class pre big bang was also broken as fuck. At 160+ with the insane about of luck and that 4th job skill that made mobs miss you, bosses like czak or horntail would be missing you like 70-90% of the time. I remember hp washing my 2nd NL to 20k+ (think base was 7-9k hp?) with still a fuckton of mp and I was just waiting to buy nx from other people with mesos to hp wash few times a week. Haven't played ms1 since like 2011-2012~ so dont know how much its changed though.

I think party quests was what made the game so fun

Hahaha the best thing was my laptop back then had a wife button to disconnect WiFi or turn it back on just on the side of it. Man once smuggling got kicked off i was doing it all the time. man was it fun! Hahah. Old school maple so GOOODDDDD to much nostalgia. I’m died

Yeah, a major reason I made a mage was because their 4th job skills were busted haha. They were hella expensive to play, though.. oof
