Nostalgia of Pre-BigBang Maplestory

I miss the Maple that was not so dang dumbed down and streamline, when maps were allowed to be huge and complicated and explorations felt rewarding.

I miss the old Night Lord, the revamped one is so bad and have such ugly skills.

I miss the incredible awesomeness of the original Masteria.

I miss hunting Big Feet before they dumbed it down and finally took it out completely with the dumbest revamp ever made to an area. When you had to time your jumps to jump above BFs feet, and later when they increased the hitbox, use dark sight to avoid it. Pinning it was almost impossible and you knew you were a heartbeat away from being stomped dead if you messed up. Fun times. Now damage reflect and other ultra retarded systems kill you at bosses, allthough root abyss is a step in the right directon, it is not nearly enough.

I miss times when upgrades was made through luck and good planning and instead of the current combination of real money and exploits.

I miss the community back then, now most of the people I come across play to compete with other kids to get some kind of feeling of superiority. It feels like most of the explorers and RPG people have long since abandoned ship.

Just some thoughts on the topic.
