It is not that Maple was necessarily a better game in the golden days, it is just that in was in a better place culturally, and that goes for the entire mmorpg industry.
Granted, that is by my preference. I enjoy a bit of a grind if that goes for the entire playerbase and not just the free players. When every thing took longer and the game was popular, you always had time to encounter a handful of talkative people before you moved to the next location.
Going back will not work though, not for me as a old veteran with a severe case of nostaliga addiction, and certainlty not for the younger players with their notion of what an online game should be and all the self entitlement and instant gratification that follows with it.
