MapleStory Evolution Discussion

1. What time period (ex. 2006-2008 or January 2008 - June 2009) do/did/will you enjoy the most of MapleStory?
   
2. Why did you choose that time period?
   
3. What, if anything, do you LIKE about the progression of the game since beta?
   
4. What, if anything, do you DISLIKE about the progression of the game since beta?
   
5. What feature of the game kept you playing the longest, during whichever period? While "friends" is an understandable answer, I'm curious what parts of the game itself people really enjoy/enjoyed/will enjoy.
   
6. In viewing GMS as a whole since its inception in the world of MapleStory, what are the lasting thoughts, memories, impressions, and emotions you will never forget?
   

1. The first year I played MapleStory (around 3-4 years ago), I loved it. Also maybe when I got to second job on my sin...

2. Played with two of my friends from school I don't talk to anymore, and got to level 38, got hacked and was upset for awhile. Made a new account and started an assassin. Today I'm only a hermit.

3. I like pirates, down jump, exp curve, new party quests, exploring new areas, new experiences, this upcoming 'maplestory 2.0' patch, oh yeah and EVERY CHRISTMAS PATCH. Love it so much.

4. I dislike the lack of higher level content (even though I'm not very high level), I dislike the excessive amounts of new jobs, KoC was great but everything else is meh, people who treat Maple like their social networking site (community getting worse), events becoming worse, the new panther job because I think it's a silly idea, I miss thinking that sleepywood was a dangerous and scary area that I wanted to explore all of, I hate how easy it is to get to second job, it makes everyone miss out on having to KPQ and meet new people, back when I first played it was all about partying, now it's all solo.

5. Trying to get to the next job advancement. When I finally turned to hermit I only got to around level 81 though, I've been playing MapleStory on and off ever since until I have a new start. (also new content)

6. Amazing people from a long time ago I met on my first account, nostalgia from Ellinia music and my mage, staying up all night to level once more, getting my zhelm, all my old great guilds, and so much more. I'll make more memories some day, and with Southperry too, since I've been lurking for around a year now.

So many other things to talk about, but I'm sure I'll write about it one day.
