Dude... way back in the day on Newgrounds you gave me some tips on higher quality sprites from Maplestory. Most of the comments on my video were hateful or rude, but instead you gave me advice and encouragement, and then wished me luck on my path in animation. I've never forgotten that, and now that I'm involved in KZbin full-time I still keep that in mind when I help new content creators. Thanks for that, and I'm happy to see you're still kicking. Also if you ever want some helpful information relating to KZbin, I'd love to return the favor anytime.

[@spritefan2]

Woah!! Wow, thanks for sharing that story, very sweet to hear that comment left a lasting impact. Probably easiest to find me on my discord server! Would love any sorta feedback as I’m getting back into the swing of it. 😄

[@Xhalonick]

Maple is like an idle game that you need to be there for the entire time to grind. Then the endgame is way too simple for the time investment. Maybe it's just something that can't be avoided with a 2d mmo, idk. If people wanna spend 500 hours to press one button in zakum and call that fun then more power to them

[@ShadowOfNos]

I never played Maple, but mostly because my childhood was already spent playing a different KRMMO that went down a very similar path of decline. Today, I'm currently creating a reimagined vanilla version of that game. But regardless of the game, we all feel the same and had similar experiences in these games. I'm looking forward to Maple Land, I'd be thrilled to try it out!

[@spritefan2]

Just curious, but which game? Very cool to hear :D

[@ShadowOfNos]

@@spritefan2 NosTale :) It was/is much less popular than Maple, but had a decent playerbase across a lot of country-wide servers. It was my first MMO in 2007 and it featured a lot of interesting systems like for example you choose a main class, but the subclasses are an equip-type item that can be further individualized, upgraded and traded.

[@BigmanDogs]

I think my only issue is that as a full adult, I simply don't have as much time to dedicate to a maplestory if I were to go back. But hopefully some version comes out with a fairly generous, whilst still authentic feeling, exp rate. Much like how private servers differed on this. I actually have no clue what the maplestory landscape looks like right now. I heard there was a semi old-school maplestory game that came out with mixed reception.

[@AmeMori35]

Korean here. I remember that in the early this year, Mapleland dev decided to region locked because there are too many cheaters in the game. Because Mapleworld is not offering crazy anti cheat engine like former game client, they just solved by making the game only available to people sign in with korean account. It was bit frustrating because I know several foreign players before they decided that. Yet, for longevity of the game it was inevitable

[@spritefan2]

I should’ve mentioned this in the video. Extremely valid point, and I think Mapleland is doing the right thing for their core audience (Korea). I’m ok to be patient, but it’s a bummer a lot of people in America are not. 🤣

It will be good once its available on android and Apple. Man I will play the heck out of this version of ms on my phone. I do not have any time to sit in front of a pc so being able to play maplestory on my phone while at work for example will be dope. Anybody know the date for android release? As for your content on KZbin you have high potential. When world of warcraft classic came out some players started KZbin channels for classic wow and they were hella successful. Their subscriber count spiked mad crazy. Since there is a lot of hype around maplestory worlds your ch is sure to succeed. Be persistent and keep it up man.
