v.168 - Reboot Update Preview

...

What the pineapple is the point of reboot world instead? I thought this was "bringing maplestory back to its roots" where levels actually mattered, but if getting levels is merely a bit harder than in the regular worlds then does that mean anyone that seeks to stand out has to aim for maximun damage yet again?. Why move out of the main servers at all?

The point of Reboot is that you don't have to spend any real money on anything that isn't cosmetic, a promise that was discarded years ago. From my experience, leveling in Reboot isn't that much harder than starting on a regular world without any equips or link skills (but I only got to like 103, but that took about a week, if I recall, not nearly as long as it used to take me, but slightly slower than it does now, if I don't go all out). The game isn't that much different, it's just a bit easier to spend time rather than money to get cubes and stuff that makes you stronger.
