"Old Maplestory was once in a life time experience" -some dude in comment section. I completely agree. Even if they revert the game back, the experience will never be the same. The world has changed. People has changed. the magic is now forever gone. It's a little bit of everything that create the old Maple; MMORPG was still pretty new, social media was not popular. Everything was so new to us back then.

There really was something magical about old MS. And no, this isn't just my nostalgia talking, you had to be there to understand what I mean. It was not just the game. It was an amalgam of many things: the times, the internet culture, the people, the world, and then finally the game itself that was a true lighting in a bottle. It all blended so perfectly together and created one of the most immersive experiences ever. You know nowadays all those isekai anime where people get reborn in fantasy worlds? That is genuinely how it felt to play this game back then. I am both extremely happy I got to experience it, and at the same time extremely sad because I know it is never going to happen again, no matter how many times they reboot the game.

I tried to get back into it a few years ago and man, its not even close to what i remember.... I tried Maple legends but ended up sticking to DreamMS and the amount of nostalgia i felt was unreal.

I remember there was a group of about 4 other players that all started around the same time, so in a way we had all trained and leveled together on that island, and ended up entering Lith Harbor at the same time. We all marveled at the art and the colors, and how excited we were to pursue our individual classes. Then we all said our goodbyes and split ways, never to see one another again.

I remember stepping onto Victoria Island for the first time, opening the map and being blown away by how big the world was. It took me weeks to grind my thief to level 16, but the game is so streamlined now that your explorer class is level 30 by the end of the tutorial. It breaks my heart that new players won't get to experience that "my journey starts here" feeling that I'm sure a lot of us got when hearing this song for the first time, or the trek to the town where you get your first job before the six-path crossway was there and seeing all of the new enemies and scenery and hearing the music change between regions, or the dopamine hit when you've finally killed enough slimes/snails/stumps/mushrooms/snakes to gain one level. It was really something special.

I've had a traumatic childhood and Maplestory was a place where I felt safe. Most of the amazing memories I've had as a child were through Maplestory. The community is something I cannot find in the real world and I struggle to assimilate. I remember how when your friends logged in everyone would say "WB" short for welcome back, or "sup bro" as in what's up bro. It was easy to talk to people without feeling scared and meeting people from all works of life. From America to Australia, Australia to Europe, it was funny at the time that depending on what time you play you'll meet people from these walks of life. For example in the morning before school i met a lot of American kids, but after school it was a lot of Australians and school friends and relatives. Now that I have grown it's amazing to reflect back on how young and stress-free from the chaotic world I was. Not a single worry and no bills to pay, just my parents always nagging me to do some homework or go outside and exercise. I remember when Maplestory implemented the timer that said you have been playing for 1 hour and have a break. I remember i always played over 10 hours a day during the holidays. Gosh they were the good old days. Time went fast.

Even the developers don't understand. It was an experience that was more than just a game. Maybe it was just a glorified chatroom back in the day. But i would kill to have those days back. Nostalgia aside, the community was more closely connected, and the game was better because of it.

When I first heard of this in MapleStory as a kid, I felt it's like a breeze of wind, gives me a feeling a relaxation and chill, while now over 1 decade later, I'm 23, sitting in the Stanford Engineering library on this Sunday to complete a homework for my final semester as an undergraduate student, I can easily close my eyes and all those simple joy and fun came back to me, they might have been buried under the piles of memory, but they shall never be abandoned. What a game, played it for nearly a decade throughout my childhood and teenagehood in China, those were the times when I could easily rejoice over simple things, laugh and dedicate without distractions of smartphones, enjoy my free time and wonder why time flies while playing games, naively thought that is life and nothing will ever change, never thought I would get older and have much more things to worry about. Just like that Sean's famous line in "Secret Life of Walter Mitty", "if I like a moment, ......, I just want to stay in it.". Beautiful music, MapleStory easily refreshes my childhood memory.

Today is May 10, 2022, I’m in Tivat, Montenegro. Life has been great since I started my own contracting business in July 2020, after struggling a hard year and work on my business, I still appreciate this music, as much as I appreciate the time, experiences and knowledge I acquired since I wrote down the initial comment in the fall of 2019, my final semester.

MapleStory allowed me to meet such amazing friends who saved me during the darkest chapter of my life. I always loved the how the smallest things led to such meaningful encounters and bonding moments, whether that'd be spending hours training together on a map, organising parties to fight bosses/do PQs, dying together in FM, joining parties to celebrate major milestones...etc. I also miss the times such as how we all used to be available and staying up late just to talk to/hang out with friends in different time zones. I retired from the game a decade ago mainly because my friends started to stop playing, and I don't like the path the game took, alongside with how it's managed anymore (the Unleashed update ruined it for me). However, I am incredibly lucky to have started in 2005 and be part of the generation who played & grew up with this game during its golden age which IMO, it'd be pre-BB for me (the remaining years were still just as significant due to my friends who stuck around in the long run). This was truly one of my happiest times in my life and I wouldn't have grown as a person and also be here today without it. P.S. For anyone who also cherished their times with MapleStory and likes anime, I highly recommend watching Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Belle (not exactly based around an MMO and it's a movie, but it very much follows a similar concept), and Loving Yamada at Lv999!

Indeed very very nostalgic, but for me, I don't want to go back to those years. Even played it for about 5 years, Old Maple is just a little part of my life. Thinking about going back means I will have to lose other wonderful parts I've met in my life after those old maple times, so my personal answer is a no. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. We have other possibilities in our lives.

I swear I'm not lying :( I was at MapleSEA server Delphinus ch12. That time I was only a level 33 i/l. I hid in the potion store to avoid keep on dying and met a few friends there. Good times.

Windia Channel 12 CityOfChaos 12 years old debut made tons of friends on this game but very few ended up in a very tight circle. we decided to meet and all became best friends in real life as well! i remember my friend from runescape telling me about this game and to jump over but i held off for months. one day i said the hell with it because he was quitting runescape and going to maplestory full time so i figured why not, lets see what this game is all about. to my surprise i met some of the best people on here and had some of the best times in gaming that any gamer could ask for. the summer nights PQING at Kerning and Ludi ..getting rekt by rogs on the ship. i never got to say thank you to my friend for showing me this game and oddly enough he only signed on during my first playthrough of the game and then stopped gaming altogether, i always wondered if he was okay and hoping life was going well for him. if by chance you stroll onto this soundtrack just to relieve simpler times. my brother, thank you for exposing me to one of the best experiences in gaming i could have asked for. the people in my life to this day because of this game all came from you ! love you all !
