Is Maplestory "Cheaper" then before?

Why does everyone say you need money? You don't. What do you think the MTS is? It really all boils down to who works harder. I can get just as "good" as this game as anyone else. But to answer your question, yes, I do believe it's cheaper than it was before purely due to the MTS being in the game.

Especially in JMS, MTS is completely useless. You need to have something worth about 300m to get 100NP. The only way, for the most part, to get something worth 300m, is to have NP in the first place.
