dems Wrote:see it's posts like this that make it obvious people didn't play beta. beta had a lot of hacking and a lot of bs. soon after the game released money started getting involved for items and mesos. just becuase you weren't around people buying things for cash or hacks etc. doesn't mean it didn't happen. beta was not the happy friendly land you're remembering and old maple had tons of alienating due to power/level. the nostalgia goggles are strong in here but if you actually plyaed beta/early maple and weren't 13-15 you'd probably know what i'm talking about. i mean back then the community you all talk about wouldn't even give you mesos for pots or the trip back if you got stuck in orbis. literally tons of people woudl run by you and ignore you. peopel used each other, excluded people by class, and nobody was really "close". a lot of you are flat out mislead or were probably too young to recall what it was actually like. "oh you're not an i/l or sin? gtfo my party we need someone better". sure they didn't say godly, sure there wasn't cubes but people alienated the fk out of each other and there was maybe community for you and your friends but the game was not friendly lol. anyways servers are up and i won't check sp again til next maint most likely so i hope you all have a good day
Lol.
I was able to be part of a successful weekly zakum group on a god damn paladin way back when they were probably the worst class in the game. The i/l or sin stuff did occasionally happen, but no-one was/is judging the games worth just by the assholes.
