Heya all. This is the so known "FAST FAST LOG IN, SELECT WORLD SELECT CHANNEL AND PLAAAAY" music. Guess what. This time you cant play, you only can listen the music. This pic is from the true GMS. Edit: 2k views ;_; Nice listening.
This comment goes out to Maple Community back in the day. Whether you're in college now, or working full time, or behind the computer screen reading this, we can all agree there is a level of nostalgia when we listen to old classic MS music. You'll find in any of these videos, people voicing their memories or their favorite experiences that this game had for them. So this comment goes out to all of you. Cheers to all the people I have ever partied with, pq'ed with, trained long hours with, became friends with through guilds/adventures/anywhere, hell, you(the reader) and I might have been friends. That's the point I'm coming across with, the level of connectivity when we were all younger playing this game. The classic experiences we all probably experienced, ex: waiting for the Orbis ship and meeting people, dying at golems, getting to 3rd job, or stuck in El Nath/Sleepywood because you were so damn curious as a noob. I love reading comments of those voicing their memories, because we were all there. Times do change, they really do, and that's why this music hits all of us because it reminds you of the past, when we were young and it was simple. I'm going to speak for everyone here agreeing that we all want to "play" the old maplestory but just can't, you are not alone. Anyways, I hope this comment brought comfort and conclusion. I know a lot of you are reading this and can relate.
quad god I still play old private servers... but for some reason that I can't touch, maybe the community, maybe the time that has passed, it just doesn't feel the same anymore. I wish there was a private server with thousands of players, run by awesome and super dedicated people. With no updates, ever! The only reason people stick around stuff like MapleRoyals is the free NX and multiplied EXP rates. In my opinion, that shit ruins the old classic experience.
+wotwot Thanks for reminding me of this message, I haven't seen them for a while now.. (guess I haven't been playing for hours for a long time) This hits me hard, I remember grinding for hours, then slack with friends for another hours, then spend other hours doing quests. Good old days.. (;
I remembered when some 2 person asked me to play drop game at sleepywood's spa and cuz of that I lost my level 15 archer gloves. It was tough, but then I saw my friend online if i'm not mistaken it was henn0328 something like that with 4 digits in the end. He was online training at henesys training ground one in 2008 around 8pm on a Sunday. 30minutes later after that tragedy, I told him about it and he just smiled and dropped the exact same glove but with better stats... I couldn't thank him enough and it was so emotional back then, all he did was smile... I never got to meet him again or contact him since 2008 that day.. I'll never forget what you did to me.. Thanks hen.
+Nicholas Tan almost the same with me, 2008, brazilian maplestory, was playing with some guy doing quests at henesys the whole day, his name was joao or something like that, we were 2 newbs, so funny. And so sad I haven't met him again for 8 years, I don't even know where is him now. I remember some guy also helped me to get to orbis tower, he was cleric, lv33, or I/L dum remember, I just would like to meet those guys again, it was so funny man. I was only 9 years old and I didn't have a facebook, twitter, orkut or anything, if I had this time for sure I would have added them. Oh, memories, I really love em, and I got so many bc of maplestory.
+Nicholas Tan I also remember some guy he was mcfly something, he was a 2nd job marskman helping me to get to el nath and do the christmas party quest, OH DUDE MEMORIES OVERLOAD I want to go back in time lol live everything again, the best was that I was 9 years old and i didnt understand anything of the game, so good...
Wtf that made me a little teary eyed. I'm just missing all the people I've met on MS who were so nice and cool but I've never seen them since. Like thanks guys, it was fun while it lasted. You were all cool.
Back when you could add friends on RU-vid and personalize your channel and stuff, I added my Guild Leader, my "twin" (we had similar avatars), and 1 or 2 other guild members. Guild Leader and I also exchanged DeviantArts. Well I don't use DA anymore but my Guild Leader went into art, she still posts stuff. I kept doing my music here. And my twin and the others, they're all gone.
I think one of my strongest memories is when i blundered my way into the dungeon cave just past sleepywood, and got stuck, terrified of dying. Some guy twice my level came past, stopped and asked why i was there. Told him i was exploring and trying to find money. He F2'd, told me that he'll get me out, and did so. Gave me 200k, a huge sum for me at the time, and sent me on my way. I miss those days.
Man this community was really great. So sad that back in the days They seperated maple Europe from the main server and all my characters were on the main server. I had no way of playing with my real life friends cuz they couldnt create accounts. I even mailed them if they could transfer my account but versions wernt the same. Couple years later i found out they made them into 1 server again. Felt so sad, if only they would've done that earlier then i might even still be playing to this day...
i remember back in 2006 i was a noob and some h0e gave me a sleepywood map scroll. i double clicked it by accident and i couldnt find a way out and kept dying to these monsters. so made another character. lol
Just a random memory, but I remember that I would hang out at Amoria A LOT, and people would usually be there and I would get invited to random weddings of people I didn't know. Good ol' times ;(
When I was still a kid I remember how I wanted to "marry" my maplestory bf, but neither of us had e@cash haha. I wonder how he's doing now lol. I lost contact with everyone X_X
Holy crap me too! I missed so many highschool days back in 2004 because of my addiction to MS lol. I never did well in school and I eventually dropped out of college but I'm still doing alright in life as a city employee driving a garbage truck earning 11k/month clean after taxes. I wish I could be a kid again 😢 I'd give up ANYTHING to be back in my MS days with my friends doing quests and pq and ordering pizza every other day. Best days of my life... 🥺
I remember being a six year old kid, just sitting there at this screen singing my own made up song to go with the toon "MapleStory, its the story of Maple". For hours... God, man. I miss this game so much, hell, I still catch myself singing it when I drive. Gets me every time. R.I.P. Old MapleStory
man i know what your talking about, ive been playing since aran. Back when i was 7 (when i got on) i would always start by pulling up the inventory and get potions ready because i didnt know how to bind things to keys.
I agree. coming from someone who only picked up MapleStory reboot recently, it's crazy to think that despite sharing a name, the game I'm playing is completely different to that which is being mourned over. I'll never know what it was like back then but maybe that's a good thing. not having that experience makes me appreciate the modern game more as it is. hope all the veteran players are doing good nowadays.
@@Phillydreamingi hope all never mourn the past but appreciate the nostalgia. maplestory was amazing. the amount of interactions in our journey. i met my wife through this game. 13 years going strong.
I have to say that even though I "wasted" my childhood on Maplestory, I don't regret it. It brought me good memories, friends and my guild members were like a second family to me then. It helped me get by then.
For me it’s the opposite. Our parents limited our computer time heavily, and also the game didn’t work on my non admin user so I was dependant on my brother to enter his user all the time. So basically I never even got to lvl 30 feelsbadman
This music makes me really sad. Not because of the memories of the game I had, but because of the memories I couldn't have. I was brought up in Korea and all my primary school friends played Maple. We talked about it all the time, and collected/traded Maplestory related card things at school (kind of like yu gi oh cards). The game looked super fun, but my parents were pretty strict and didn't let me play it. On my 8th birthday, they said they would give me 10 minutes a day of 'gaming time', but by the time I had logged in to maple they told me it was time to go off. When I protested, they told me I was addicted, and they just banned it altogether. The only time I got to play the game is at one of my best friend's houses. The room where we'd play maple and this really nice smell to it, because his mum used to make soaps as a part-time job. As I listen to music from the game now, the fragrances of all sorts of fancy soaps from a decade ago still spring to my mind. Even at my friend's house, I didn't get to play all that much. He'd let me on one of his lower level characters and I'd get to play for around half an hour. It was barely any length, but to me it meant the whole world - the game just felt magical. Hoping one day I'd be able to play the game for myself, I collected tons of guidebooks, posters, comic books and merchandise. I read through all of the guidebooks, trying to remember all their contents, every single little tip. Some of the guidebooks had NX codes in them, and I carefully wrote them down, waiting for the day that I would eventually be able to play the game and redeem them. When I was around 11, my family moved to the UK. I brought all my precious guidebooks with me. When we came, we bought a new laptop, and I was allowed 30 minutes of 'internet' time a day. I finally downloaded maple, but the laptop was really bad, and every time I launched it, no matter what I tried, it would always come up with an error saying it could not connect to the servers. On the rare occasion that it did run, my parents took the laptop away saying my internet time was up. Over the last few years, I had entirely forgotten about the game, all of my guidebooks lying isolated and dusty in some cupboard in my room. I played other games that my British friends played, like Minecraft of League of Legends instead. Last month, I was tidying up my room when I came across a really old Maplestory guidebook from 2004, and decided to finally play the game. This time my family had come to their senses about me and my computer usage (after all I'm 18, they can't really restrict the time I spend playing games anymore). I dug up all the guidebooks, and found, unfortunately, that all the NX codes had expired. But that didn't matter, right? At least I was finally, at the age of 18, for the first time ever, able to play the game I'd been wanting to play since as far back as I can remember. But the game that I played that day was not Maplestory. It instead was a mere shadow of its former self. The game looked different in every way that it did to my memories of it, and to the screenshots in the 2004 guidebook. I remember back in the 00s being impressed by my friends being over level 70. Last month, it took me merely a single day or two to reach level 150. Levelling had lost its value. Tons of new, over-the-top classes. Ones that START and level 100. Level 100 used to be such a huge achievement, but now all anyone has to do is just make a character, and voila, it's level 100. Victoria island was completely different. Everything jumbled up, the map sizes shrunken. There were barely any players. The HUD was different. The game I had been waiting to play for over a decade was gone. After a week of playing this husk of a game, I uninstalled it and once again, my guidebooks are starting to gather dust in a corner of my room. I am distraught. I waited soooooo long for this game, but the game did not wait for me. It had changed beyond recognition. I envy all of you who have had such a wonderful time playing this game. I envy your nostalgia and your memories of the game. You may be sad that you will never get your game back, that it has changed for the worse, but please, cherish the time you had playing it. I would give away an arm and a leg just to have some of your nostalgia and memories, good or bad, that you had playing it. Treasure your beautiful memories of this game that I never managed to play. Treasure them and please, never let them go.
I feel so ungrateful now. I often feel like I didn't do enough in the original MS, I'm always thinking "Man, I should've leveled up to a high level when I had the chance, to see what it was like being strong in those days." And of course, "I wish I could go back." But now I see that it was a privilege just to be able to experience Maple in 2005 through 2010. So I feel so sorry for wanting more, and I feel sorrier that you didn't get to play in the old days, I really think you deserved to.
same here bro back when maple 1st got released i was like 5yr old and didnt get much time to play so my friends and i when we were abt 7 or 8 will sneak out to internet cafe to watch people grind their characters when i was actually allowed to play for like an hour day, it was alr like big bang and everything changed… i feel u man
This is so heartfelt dude I almost cried reading this. You had such strict parents man wow! But you’re right I have to cherish the memory of what a great game it used to be. Like getting my first roulette haircut and taking my helmet off to show my friend, revealing the one really bad messed up haircut I got stuck with. She laughed and laughed. This game was like a second life/an actual adventure for me. 😓😤😊 Going to download Maple II now. Here’s to the future. 🍄🐌🍄🐌
This game, the vibe, the soundtrack, the community, it was and will always be something else. I can't pinpoint the exact feeling, but even when I think of this maple leaf it just makes me feel things nothing else can. When I hear this login screen bgm, that you were so often forced to wholly listen to because you couldn't login because of internet issues or something else, I feel things nothing else can make me feel. When I think about certain aspects of freedom of this game, it gives me feelings nothing else can give me. I don't know how to explain it, I just can't. There's something beyond unique about having this game fried in my brains, and it's the best thing I could've ever wished for. I'm so grateful that I have experienced MapleStory, as this is and will always be the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I'd like to call it the Maple feeling. Man I wish I was able to expain this feeling but I can't.
***** thats so sad to hear, that game was seriously my lifeeee back then, and now to hear it's all about paying money and pretty much needing NX for everything is so sad :( ohhh the memories! T_T
I can't listen to this for more than a few seconds now. The nostalgia is simply too strong. I played so much of this game to escape from my shitty childhood and shitty, abusive parent. I loved this game like a injured dog loves its rescuer. I hate what they've done to the game in recent years.
good old days when games were simple and now these days all advanced technologies makes days pass so fast that u cant even think what to do in the next day miss the old days i was 12 years old when i mapled and played gunbound
@@soliderkevin1337 i was a kid back then and i sucked, hard. so hard that in all my years i couldn't get past level 25, so some high level people would give me 15k-25k for 1 fame vote
A wise man once said, "Do not cry for what you have lost. Cherish for what you have experienced." Let us close that chapter of our lives, for we know it will always be vivid in our hearts. The Maple Era was an important stepping stone in our growth. But it was just a stepping stone nonetheless. It is time to move on. Push forward so that we may one day experience that same degree of happiness, albeit in a difference medium than Maplestory. But if we return to the current Maplestory to chase that elusive joy from our childhood, we will only end up disappointed and empty handed.
Man I needed this. I just downloaded the new one to chase that feeling, don’t think i’ll get it. Time to move on, but miss that joy of logging in so much.
I just wanted to leave my record here: I played Maple Story Global in 2005 or 6 until 2010. - I remember being on the boat for 15 minutes afraid to get out because I was too noob to face the flying Balrogs. And hope not to taking DC. - I remember traveling the dangerous road from Henesys to Sleepwood and seeing level 50 characters and thinking "wow, I want to get to that level one day" and afraid of falling into stone golems. - I remember being stuck in Sleepywood for 2 days as a beginner and not being able to get out due to the high damage of the snakes. Or JumpQuests (I hated thisssss). - I remember doing PQs with groups full of wonderful people (others not so much). - I remember being happy to find a quick way to Ludibrium using the Orbis>Aquarium>Right Tower Ludibrum traversal. - I remember creating expeditions with my newbie friends (who were thirsty for exploration) to go on a journey to the deepest cave in Sleepwood after reaching the dreamed level 60 and thinking I was immortal (mere mistake). - I remember the creation of my first Guild "EliteBR" and the GPQ disputes against the other clans. - These and thousands of other stories... Memories... - I was just a teenager who spent the night playing with friends (some from real life). And I have this feeling of "I want those old times again" but they don't come back. And we have to accept that. obs> And believe me, I've even tried to play the pirated versions with the old versions, but it's not the same thing. But let's think on the positive side: We lived through it. We had that opportunity. We have to be grateful. It was beautiful and we can have this sense of love. And this is beautiful. ❤️ Edit1: Sorry about my English. It's not my native language.
did we live the same life? I went through all of this except the guild creation... brighter memories than most of my real friends at the time, it was the best time of my life no doubt :')
I played the exact same time you played. 2005/6-2010. Was also a teenager. Around 2011 was when I left Maple for good and moved on to Minecraft. But yeah, Maple was a big part of my childhood. I remember when Ludibrium first came out. Doing all those Ludi PQs, KPQs. OH yeah, there was another Ludi PQ, I think it was called Monster Carnival PQ. That one was fun too! The early days of Maple was the best Maple.
The good times bro. Fighting hard for a zakum helm... only having up the 3rd job advancement. Remembering the day I became a chief bandit and my bro gifted me a nebula dagger 🥲
i have always wanted to go behind the sign and just walk. all the way to the end and back. maple will always hold a special place in my heart. it was and always will be. my childhood
+Lê Tuấn Việt Yeah dude I agree with you dude this game was not the same as before, I mean when I first played this game back in 2008 The game was fun and stuff like you could do Party quest and monster carnival but now its hard to. Also it was way harder to beat bosses and level up when I played long time ago, but now when I play I can level up easier which is stupid, plus I can one shot balrog this game is not fun anymore. so yes definitely Damage story, I think of F*** up story.
+Lê Tuấn Việt yaaaa....during i was kid many year ago it waas totally fun but now is getting worseTT ...but it still a goood memory for me ^^miss it so much
Ah! The memories. I miss those good old days. Days when there were only four main classes. Days when people were having fun rather than endless level grinding.
Thank you Maplestory. When I was a kid during 2006 to 2015 when I graduated highschool and started college, you molded me to who I was during that point. All the people I have met in those years, though I no longer remember almost everyone, will forever be in my hearts. I was able to communicate with thousands of individuals from all over the world broadening my perspective in life. Learned things from everyone that I could never have learned during those younger years. Learned how to have fun in an adventure especially with friends and enjoyed the littlest of things. Those were the most beautiful years of my youth. The party quests, the party grinding, the expeditions, exploring new areas as low leveled idiots in the deep parts of leafre, THE BOAT RIDE TO ORBIS AND BACK, henehoeing, window shopping at FM, laughing at people who got tobened in that slime quest, and so much more. I wonder where you all are now, I wish I could see you all and thank you for the memories that we've shared. To everyone who played this game during its best years, I wish you the best of luck in your lives and may you never forget these memories. I love you, -A player from GMS Bera batch 2006
Damn this hits diff especailly the part about wondering what happened to everyone. I miss everyone so much. I stopped playing altogether in like 2015 after starting highschool.
The speices of Squishy Blobs are endangered if the old Maplestory doesn't bring back the strong slimes, bubblings, and those random ass boner-braking OP red slimes i found as a level 25 in showa town. I too, need it back.
LegatoBluesS, HunterxGirl, and JupiterMan, I still remember you guys. I remember having a really shitty birthday and JupiterMan showering me with items, little things make all the difference
I remember that whenever my game crashed I got pretty mad (you know, might've been in a fight or something, it's pretty frustrating when it does crash), but everytime this music started playing I instantly calmed down. Sometimes I just sat at the log-in screen to listen to the music before finally logging in and playing. This is -by far- my favorite game music, it's amazing.
I cherish the wonderful memories I have of this game. Each weekend morning, I would eagerly rise; powering up my computer to reach this enchanting login screen. Once it was booting up I'd run downstairs and grab a fresh cinnamon roll my mother would pick up at the grocery store that morning. With a glass of milk and roll in my mouth I'd run back upstairs popping my headphones on eating while listening to this music before logging in for my weekend adventure. Whenever I yearn to relive those heartwarming moments, I embark on a quest to the neighboring grocery store, picking up the same cinnamon roll and a glass of milk to immerse myself back to those warm memories.
+EXtroversion back in the day, you could roll your characters stats around, and basically you'd keep rolling until you got amazing base stats for your character, and you'd do it from the character select. while rolling, you'd hear nothing but this song.
Naw bro this about to make me cry. I would play this with my homie up the street ALL THE TIME. His username was cheesylemon, and my was cheesyorange lol. God damn, 2006- 2008 was a good ass time! Maplestory was a bomb ass game.
They don't make games like this anymore, that's for sure. 2008-2013 player here. My friends at school got me interested in this game, we would play for hours, i was the runt of my group, they would help me level up around ellinia (I was a mage). I remember a few random people i friended in game and we would travel all over to grind levels. Remember getting to 2nd job was a huge achievement.....made multiple characters to try out different playstyles and quest lines........this game had a lot of grinding but with friends, it all worked out. Along with the incredible music, it easily allowed me hours and hours of play time, never seemed like that long. Im 25 now.......and honestly, this game was in a part of my life that almost feels alien to me. I remember making characters and stuff but i don't know what happened to me to where i don't feel the same good nostalgic feels i used to in the past from hearing the music. I've become a depressive person and everything i used to love feels foreign. I hope all my mapling friends i met are doing ok, i know i loved the hell out of this game like you all did
I love how they made you log in at the beginning of an opening book like you were starting a story and as you progress, you also get further into the book. I just wish they still had the login menu just like this instead of changing it. D= My heart aches for the old Maplestory.
Oh we humans move on so quickly I remember me and my best friend playing this for hours! This music was every Saturday morning. Damn brings tears to my eyes, we're not friends anymore but I'll still hold onto those sweet moments on this game!! I don't even know wat this Big Bang update is but it can go to hell. WHO REMEBERS the random haircut quest?? And getting Afros LMAOOO
This was another life I missed so much, sure I can go back to it again but my Maple days won't ever be the same without the people I've met back then to accompany me.
I used to play this game on international servers before I was transferred to a local one where as the young teenager who never been out of my city, Hong Kong, would realize how many different folks out there in the world from the States and Europe. Truly a life changing experience, the fun I will have with dumb trades, marketplace steals and chats. All the innocence, uncompetitive friendships, nostalgia of an unending exploration in Maple Story. I was crying first when I heard the song and you might. But hey, I want y'all to be happy and well from the bottom of my heart, thanks for being in my childhood experience and please, do in Maple Story as you would in your life. Cherish and go out with those who would accompany you. You have a friend here.
I may not been around the 2005-2008 era as i started in 2009 but im happy to also have this piece of game as my childhood. Sucks in 2010 they removed the option of the login in-game and you have to login via the website (im pretty sure there was a way to get the login screen post this time-era but as a kid, i wasn't as tech savy) and the theme was much shorter as instead of starting here at the login screen, you would instantly start at the server selection. Crazy times. Shoutout to my 6 or 7 cousins into this game and my whole elementary schoolmates.
My only main reason to play maplestory is to enjoy making friends. Slacking around. Hanging a F2 on face and I can get friends. Playing for 3 years and I'm only lvl 51 ( call me noob :P ) This song just brought back memories. After school I don't even want to go to shopping with friends, I rather staying at home and playing Maple. Doing quest with strangers and we became best friend ever. Talk cocks to each other. Don't care about lvls. Even the pros were friendly too. When you online, your buddies must have lots of people online too. Everything were so amazing in the old Maplestory. But it was over.. I miss the old Maplestory, deep in my heart, even though it was just a game...
+Larry Yuan You can play the old maplestory with just the four main explorers. Go to a website called maplelegends.com and you get to lay maplestory in the old days
I was mostly for people who'd go to internet cafe's in the asian regions, never really took off though as attachment to a character is what makes MMO's tick.
At 2008 it took a week and a half to be level 30 and 3 months or maybe more to be level 50 -70, seeing a level 100 was like seeing a god. Today it takes 1 day to reach level 120 and a week to reach level 200 if u try grinding and seeing level 100 is like seeing a noob.
took me months with burning to get to lvl 100... still was a rush tho. nexon just make a server running for he oriiginal maplestory, we dont want reboot
God I remember the first time I played this game back in 2005. Was 16 years old and my sister introduced it to me. I was so excited to play an mmo that was a side scroller. My computer was in my room and hers was in the upstairs office so we'd leave the land line phones next to our desks on speaker so we could talk while we played since we had no idea about Skype. Used to spend crazy hours of the day and night in and around Henesys and Perion training our archers and questing together. She eventually stopped playing as her interests shifted and I slowly stopped too. It became lonely logging in by myself. In this last year I discovered private servers hosting the og maple and I logged on excited to relive those feelings but it wasn't the same. Playing maple was one of the best times I had with my sister. I really miss it.
sigh... Gone but never forgotten... I will always miss you im now 22 about to grad from university and still talk about you with my friends till this day. Hopefully a game comes of this calibre again one day
I don’t miss the game, I miss being a kid. The reason the game was so fun is because everything was interesting and exploreable. When we didn’t know shit and were happy grinding at garbage mobs to get to lvl 60 in a year.
I remember when I was young and we had this PC that had a WIFI card inserted in the back . They put a setting on the Wifi to turn off at midnight so we wouldnt be able to use the computer but I found a way to BYPASS IT . I remember everyone would be sleeping and I would excitedly get up and jump on the computer with the screen so bright and everything else so dark , with my earphones on and making sure nobody could hear ... And it was always this screen waiting to greet me . Those were the days .. AHHH MEMORIESS :)
I remember when I was 8 years old. Me and my brother would sleep over at my cousin's house and play videogames all night. It was back then when he introduced Maplestory to me. This game gave me so many beautiful memories, it's unreal. I could barely speak english back then but I never felt more connected with people on a game. The endless grinding with people u just met, exploring the islands together, not knowing what was laying ahead. Falling in love with that one girl online, waiting everyday for her to come online and play together. Travelling with random people to Orbis and being scared to death by the Balrog. When I left the ship I always made new friends. Making a HP warrior so I could run past the golems in Ludi PQ. Spending 30+ minutes to crack the code in stage 8... Spending hours in the tutorial to go to Amoria for the hairquest and getting the coconut head haircut.. The reason why I liked Maplestory so much is because it was challenging. When I died in the game it was a huge deal because I lost like 10% EXP and that was like 20 min grinding at lvl 40. People used to talk with each other while lvl'ing up and doing party quests, I miss the small talk in dungeons. Nowadays people just want to level as fast as possible and don't talk. It doesn't feel like you're playing together with people online. Back in the day u needed like 50 people for Zakum, now people just solo dungeons. I played private servers but they never gave me the same satisfaction as the old Maplestory. I will always remember this game. Such a masterpiece with beautiful music and challenging content. RIP Maplestory
To me it always felt like we were present there, right in front of that signpost writing our ID and password, then magically transforming into our characters, then walking through the forest 🌳 into maple world. 🍁
For no reason, I suddenly felt how much do I miss this game. I have played this game ever since version 10(right now is like 130 sth i think), about 10 years ago on the chinese server, about 5 years ago I started a new acocunt on the global server after immigration. It is very sad to see how many ppl left this game because the later updates ever since version 90ish i guess. Comparing a player spend actual money with a player just use "mesos", their attack drastically differs on ridiculous magnitude. And the feeling of adventure just fade away because of this. At this point I don't remember what is the highest attack I have ever got, or what epic equipment I have ever bought. Rather, it is the moment when I got my first pan lid!, its defence was even worse than the average, it only had defence 9, but I still remember this after killing thousands of green mash room around ellinia. And the moment when you found out how stupid your teammate was in ludibrium party quest, the part that you have to find the random number from 1 to 9, or the moment everyone are fighting for standing on number 1 >.>. It is just in in the old days, you always have this feeling that you will get stronger, and cooler skills, having a chance to meet a more invincible boss, and visit unknown maps, getting much better equip, and even harder party quest. In retrospect, you may just realize how beautiful the sound tract is, and what a wired and cute design of each map and each monster! But all of this are irreversible just because the later updates is getting dumber and dumber, and free market getting less and less ppl. It was in there, i learnt the meaning of "portal", it was in there, someone first explained to me what is ":D", it is in there i first learnt what is "JPQ" and "papa". I will always TELL myself, IF I ever has the luck to creat such a classic beautiful game as maplestory ever was. I would never let the lucrativeness to destroy the beauty of the game. Those CEO don't understand why a green snail shell meant so much to us. It is not just a game, on an artistic level, it is a masterpiece (a 3rd comsci student)
Lmao damn! I actually took the time to read this, but you speak the truth my man.. this song brings me all the memories from what i have experienced in the game with old friends. I remember that I would always hit up my bros to play the game after school or even come over each others house so it would be easier to PQ and such things, trying to reach level 70. I quit when new classes came out after the 4th job, because that's when maple started to get shitty. Anyways it's just what it is today man, Nexon ended up choosing to make money and fuck up the quality of the game. I swear I'm going to download all the old maple tracks and burn it on a CD for later when I ever listen back, remembering how valuable memories those were. I will always remember how maple influenced a part of my life! Just had to share this man before I sleep hahaha. BERA/Dragonknight all day! Take care brotha!
wow, i never expected this many thumbs up for my comments. Anyway I am glad so many ppl share the feeling regardless of my broken english. I manly play LOL now(Spear delivery), game design wise, LOL is just more humane but maple will always be that unique
God I was like 8 when I first played this with my brothers back in 2007 we all thought level 30 was the biggest accomplishment. Beautiful memories transpired during this whole gem of an MMORPG, we can never get back those times now that we've moved on. No private server can ever reimagine the experience raw 2000s gave off with this. Live on Maplers
I remember, in my country, 3 to 4 years ago, Maplestory ended support for those playing in those regions (i was like lv. 150 back then, very low compared to now), me and my friends were so sad (we were avid maplers back then), but then 1 to 2 years ago, a new light shone upon those past maplers in the dark tunnel. That light was known as Maplestory M. I played it the day it was released. Very few regions back then, only from start to Ludibrium (1-130), but now many regions have been added to the game from the original, such as Temple Of Time, Lion Kings Castle, Gate To The Future, and The Dead Mine. (130-220). I'm still at Lv 115 in this remake, but I'm in progress working my way up! I dont think anyone will see this comment, provided how old this video is.... I still remember the shutdown message, "Maplestory is ending support soon!" Or something like that, and we were thinking someone had simply hacked the game, (we were very young), boy, were we so wrong...
I learnt one of the greatest lessons of my life from a player in this game. When I was low level and in need of equips, an I/L Archmage heard my plea and gave me a wealthy sum of mesos (it was actually nothing for a pro like him but was everything to me), after he did so he asked that when I get stronger and have my own wealth that I help 3 others, and to ask of them the same thing. I have taken that lesson with me throughout not only this game but my entire life. So thank you stranger, I'll never forget it.
+TehxHope I get emotional if i start thinking about the time when i was playing with my RL friend...they all stopped many year ago, they were playing before me, i made fun of the game WAY back in 2006, i started in 2007 and here i am today, i can't seem to let the game go for some reasons... i'm still logging in to keep it alive. lol getting older just suck.
PikaJaune I quit playing MS, and MMO's in general, back in 2011. The thing I miss most about MS was connecting and interacting with friends in-game. It's tough to make new friends as you get older, I find.
Just the melody brings back so many memories. To the players I went on quests with, to the newbs that were trapped and needed help, to those who just wanted to be friends. Man, those were the days. To whoever those players are right now, hope you guys are doing well!
I remember being good ass friends with this dude named MaxNoobs in Scania we would always chill in the Henesys pot shop and drop game with other people and loot item, he had lots of gacha items and would let me borrow it or keep it. We both would make new accounts having his name MistrFamez and mine would be MistrDefamez asking people for fames and dislikes and giving them 5k-10k or dropping chairs for each fames or defamed we get.. Man, he was like my best friend in this game. Wished I've contacted him more in the outside world. Hopefully he remmebers me!
I would honestly like to sit down with all of you, have a drink or two and discuss what our lives have become, talk about all the good times and bad, and how such a game could bring us together, maple does not just represent a fun game, but rather a happier and carefree time of our lives that has faded into nostalgia, where the more innocent versions of ourselves sat down and simply played some maplestory.
Rekoil2234 And now being older. Life is so much harder now. Gotta worry about work, school, love life, and all that. Being young was truly the life. Especially with maple. Haha.
Maplestory brings back so much memories. My old computer that I used to run it on was really shitty and could barely support Maple so it had a 50-50% chance of crashing after I pressed the Login button. I remember being so happy everytime it succeeded. Damn... those memories.
