The Evolution of MapleStory | 2005 - 2021

[@bennguyen6211]

maplestory from 2005-2010 holds such a special place in my heart. There was nothing like being a kid, having no responsibilities, hopping on the computer as soon as I got home from school, and waking up on the weekends and playing all day until bed.

I’ve never experienced another gaming experience like the OG Maplestory. It just felt like such a breath of fresh air, might be because I was younger but the magic and carefree nature of playing an MMO on our sub par internet was magical. The community, party quests, the world building, and OST was a perfect mix of weekends being wasted away. Still looking for that online experience ever since. Much simpler times.

It depends on if you want a speed through or a more natural game. Maplelegends is more like the original game in terms of progression. Where as mapleroyals has what is called vote2win, which gives you a large sum of cash for free daily. That allows you to progress mich quicker.

[@Randomguy86204]

I still think the TWO things that killed Maplestory. 1. Potentials/Cubes/Enhancements - Just keep the old scrolling system. 2. Too many classes with similar abilities. Everyone looks the same and does the same whole map skill just in a different colour.

[@PlayerPro119]

remember when u need assasin for haste? or u need a warrior for hyperbody, to give hp to low hp archers, Now every class is tanky and has haste. yep no unique mechanics for each class anymore.

[@Edzter]

That's the crazy part. I like the direction the game went in terms of content, with the story stuff and progression outside of grinding the best spot for hours (atleast to 200) But the minmaxing is stupid, potentials, which are RNG, enhancement, RNG, old scrolling system was also rng, but you knew what you were getting, Cubing is just a way to get as much money from people as possible to roll a gacha on stats. Same with classes, they could've easily kept the old classes much the same while moving the game in the same direction in terms of content and progression. Now every class is effectively the same, AND some of the most iconic skills are gone, such as assaulter for chief bandit, dragon buster/fury for dragon knight (heck, it's not even dragon knight anymore) just to name a few. Having all classes do the same is not exactly 'balanced' either, plus, the game encourages you to have alts for buffs anyway.

[@kubasniak]

Also adding Kenshin to Kanna class. The most ridiculous idea ever made by any game designer. They should teach that in collage on gaming courses... Show them case of Nexon and terrible decisions.

[@ArchinaGM]

imo the potential system is far better than the scrolling system mostly because scrolls were infuriating with how easy it was to ruin/boom your new gear which meant you had to shell out on cash items to what felt even worse than cubing. Though imo the two things that killed Maplestory would be your second point (Class diversity getting thrown out the window) and the push towards the solo grind experience. Both of these turned Maplestory from an MMO into an MSO. I remember rocking the core trio of DK, Hermit and Priest back in the day and if any of us went missing, we felt it. These days we'd hardly notice as we all pretty much do the same thing and even then we'd probably be hindering each other due to the maps not being large enough to fit the massive attacks we're all pumping out. I do kind of wish Nexon would shift more towards party play. The game was far more enjoyable when it was about socialising and the journey instead of solo grinding and how hard you can min-max your dps.

[@Edzter]

The difference between potential and scrolling was that scrolling was luck dependant but also primarily relied on your own in-game work. Ala item and scroll grinds. Potential not only required luck but also had very stupid power disparity. Sometimes they give you stats you don't care about, sometimes they give you 3% of what you need, or you could go for 18% of your main stat/attack and +30% boss damage. That in itself was overpowered, but the worst part was, it required REAL MONEY to consistently cube yourself up to that level. You can succeed a random 10% scroll of dumb luck, but you would NEVER get a unique potential from the start, let alone it being what you need. That introduced severe pay2win in the game.

[@Jeremy-lm1gh]

Wow, this takes me back fr. I loved how social the game used to be. Took me forever to get my bandit to lvl 30 and I was so happy

[@jeffstahley2176]

For those who are cutious there are a couple very lively oldschool maplestory servers. Namely maplelegends and maple royals. They both have consistent player bases and are free to play!

[@DallySkyeAnims]

I remember the ol' days of tracking. It was a must in snagging a spot in PQ, but also an incentive to stalk your favorite #1 player training in the server...provided you didn't die on the way there lol. I remember way back then when there was a party of people that tried to make the trip through Leafre to see FangBlade training, but I died on the way there since I was still lv 10 kek.

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

I went to himes and died instantly to see FangBlade training next to 2 other ghosts of people who had died doing the same thing, it was one of the most glorious things I've ever seen lol

I started playing in 2005 on the old beta server then in GMS Scania up until the Hero classes were released, back when we used to have to walk around every map and exploring Ant Tunnel was an expedition and chatting to each other as we trained in parties and took the ship to Orbis ... I still have trauma from almost a year of grinding my cleric to level up at coolie zombies lol ugh.

I started during the pirate update. Soooo many good memories, too many to list down. My first time starting as a warrior, looking up builds and deciding I'd go dexless, advancing to spearman, doing Monster Carnival while we tell the other team to trade wins and summon Toy Trojans and Rombots, exploring Oribis and the other islands outside of Victoria Island felt like an adventure and I remember begging at the Oribis station for meals to get back home to Victoria Island cause I had no funds and I was barely level 20. That time I trained nonstop at Galloperas when I advanced to 3rd job Dragon Knight while a Cleric friend used Holy Symbol. Forgot to mention how special I felt because I was the class that had Hyper Body, and I'd remember people being like, "HB please." It was great. Gosh, I miss the old days of Maple and I could list countless good memories. I stopped after the update they added Xenon and haven't played ever since, but watching your vids, I'm happy to see Maple is still for the most part, thriving well, and still being constantly updated.

[@elect2512]

Maplestory has been ruined . The game in the early days was amazing as it promoted partying and interacting with others . The slow and challenging levelling process was what made Maplestory satisfying to play . Reaching "Level 30" was such a big deal back then . Now anyone can hit level 30 in a matter of 1 minute with the proper help and boosts . Parties aren't necessary as you can solo bosses easily . Talking to others isn't promoted because the focus has now been on solo than playing with others . Ironically they overcomplicated the game thinking it would give it more depth by adding in Starforce , Item Rarity , New Uninteresting Bosses , New Uninteresting Copy And Pasted Classes , Boring Cutscenes and many more . The old Maplestory is gone . The new is here but it isn't new , it is hollow and empty and devoid of any of the magic the old Maplestory once had . It was fun while it lasted . What a shame .

I think what a lot of people are missing is that the vibrant social system of the old times was largely due to how hard and aggressive the exp curve was. As more and more players saw diminishing returns from training, many opted to enjoy the game in a social/cosmetic sense and it thrived in that direction as well. Over the years, as leveling, training and bossing becomes more accessible to the casual player, you also see a steep drop off in players turning to social interactions to enjoy the game. I wonder how they could bridge the two worlds.

@@xDDufiosy i think it can be greatly improved if they just made partying more rewarding than playing solo. You should be encouraged to go look for other players to play with, but the game punishes you for that. This leads to a lot of channel hopping, where people just keep changing channels to avoid other players and if it gets bad enough, people will try to KS each other. Also, it doesnt help that most lower level content in the game can be easily solod, like normal zakum and Horntail. Even though Level 200 should feel high, after reaching it for the first time, it feels like I only just started the game. Training 12 characters at minimum for the Legion and Link skills to 200 is a grind most people in the current market wont endure. I wouldnt mind leveling up accounts if the game encouraged social interactions between level 1 and 200.

I started playing in 2005 when 3rd job advancement didnt even exist yet. Took me about 2 years to reach my assassin to level 50+, lots of manhours and PQ used to grind. I stopped at 2007 when my account got hacked.

[@mialopez8309]

Carnival PQ was so fun, you just summon rombots and Trojans for ur opponent, the good old days 💅🏼

[@grumpybryno3479]

Cannot forget that suana robe , zakum helmet. Brown work glove, snowshoes, pac, maple kandayo, with crystal illbis and hitting 3k crit damages.

[@grumpybryno3479]

With lucky seven

[@darrenong3649]

[@hizperion]

[@Cam-fq4rh]

Nothing struck more fear than being on the Ellinia ship to Orbis and hearing the music change.

[@zhu911203]

I started playing sometime around 2005 or 2006. The game client was 350mb or so. During this period, Wizet was the official name you would see as the game would load up. No pin code nor cash shop existed at the time. Originally, there was a patch note stating that the Cash shop would never give players an advantage over others with game progression, boy did that go out the window quickly. The introduction of the 4th job patch was massive. They even went out of their way to create a flash animation on the website introducing people to the new job advancements. That level of effort by their web developers would quickly get lazy over the years. This was a big patch as it also introduced ranking and that's when players like Tiger, Suuushi, among others became famous. You would see them often in the underwater area fighting against that giant Fish boss. There was also a period of time before the Big Bang update that Buccaneers could train and not worry about getting hit at Leafre against dragon's in their eggs, because of their invincible frames from the barrage 1 target skill. And of course, who could forget Mr.Basil and Basilmarket, the website for finding people to buy and sell in-game items.

From grinding to grinding: such is business.

[@aaronl7486]

I remember playing before the pirate class was released. Saw an ad in game informer magazine to discover the game. Little middle school me did the math one time on how long it would take to level using Ludi-PQ. It was discouraging lol. Honestly the speed of leveling was freakkin ridiculous... but I wanted the bandit skill thousand cuts and assaulter sooooooo bad. When I got it? And I got my pickpocket pilfer hat? Jeeze, that felt so dam good and cool.

[@Sch1n89]

What it killed for me was the trillions of dmg u deal and the whole screen is just numbers

[@hanjisungs]

You forgot introduction of star force and how items in the past dropped with different base stats!

[@FineFlu]

I am sad that MapleStory is so focused on independent playing. Part of the beauty and charm of the game was enjoying the journey by party questing, making friends, and exploring. With so much focus on endgame and bossing, it has become quite lonely when you are starting out and trying to make friends

[@SinzPet-]

as some1 who lived thru all of it, i can say this: good summary :)

[@charlottesplayground1096]

i used to play this game a lot i remember grinding the party quests -.- you could cheese the tickets by unplugging and replugging your internet cable quickly so you could skip parts of it:P it seems it has changed a lot in a good way.

[@Bioniclema90]

I guess 2010 is where things went wrong

[@cdc72311]

I miss these days.

[@alofa853]

Really love the new cat animation

[@FafnirVestra]

Back like to 2006-2007 my older brother showed me the game, I was sooooo damn clunky with my Warrior and my bro so fast as a thief Nowadays he is the warrior and I´m the thief/Mage and thats like 14 years ago....

[@gh0stdog89]

This is exactly the same with my older brother, he showed me it around the end of 2005/6, he was a an Assassin flying around with Haste and I created a warrior, that took me months to hit 30 on.

[@s0meguy09]

took me a year to reach level 70 when the game first came out. then when potential arrived, I'm pretty sure I was the first to wear a dkanjar without adding str

The golden days were back when Zakum was the ultimate boss :-)

[@coffeeordeath5284]

I remember I got so excited about the Amoria hair ticket and then devastated by the buzzcut. ):

Your cat/fox avatar is just so cute
