Posts complaining about how 'easy' it is now seem like sad brag attempts. It sounds like some grandpa complaining about how young kids have it too easy. Let me guess, your little brother and sister have it too easy, since you had to walk to school, uphill, both ways, in 120 degree heat while it somehow miraculously snowed 18 inches each day as well, right?
You wanna compare how tough we are? Fine...
When I first started playing MS back in 1950, I had to actually be in Korea. I fought in the Korean war by day, and played MS by night. Sadly, there was no internet, so I had to hand write Nexon a letter asking them to "Triple Throw Bigfoot please". I would then wait 2-4 weeks for a return certified international mail from Nexon saying "7548, 8212, 9231", my damage to Bigfoot.
After 6-8 months of mailing back and forth, I would finally receive a letter from Nexon informing me that BF was dead. A Korean gentleman would then use his slide-rule to calculate the which drops I received.
Sadly, I lost my life fortune when I wanted to play an Aran back in 1958- sending millions of letters spamming "Attack" was just too expensive.
So yeah, I agree, these young kids today have it too easy. No games should ever evolve
That said Old Maple was awesome only for my friends and guild. I miss them, a few came back, but most haven't and won't ever. I've been on since beta, you people crying because maple has changed are cute, imo. Yes, maple really was fun when it took me weeks to level, exploring an area that sucks for training and full of hackers was fun for the first time.
You hate LHC because it's a training area? Really? You complain the game isn't an MMORPG anymore, yet you hate partying at LHC? Nostalgiaic players make me sick, more so then anything nexon could do. Maplestory is better now, it's actually a game instead of garbage. Now I don't need to spend all day just to gain a few percent, I can get a few levels. I like that, I like not being dirt poor and waiting for my MP to refill. I like not having noobs begging me to take them someplace.
The only reason I never quit MS was my guild and friend who made maple fun.
