Best memories with maplestory?
Comments
Also, I remember going with a could of guild mates as thieves and using Dark Sight or whatever the skill is to sneak into some high level zones like deep in Sleepywood. Was so cool getting to see those monsters and then accidentally letting the buff drop and getting 1HKO by like Jr. Balrog or something.
Speaking of Balrog, the Balrog on the Orbis ship! I can’t count how many times I would get on the ship and then afk, forgetting to go inside, only to come back and find myself dead.
Good times!
After that, hmm, probably running around with Umbra when Cygnus Knights first came out.
The monster carnival, so much fun playing with others.
Another thing is hiding in the ship when the balrogs came, that was fun.
My fav memory is tho when I returned to maplestory during the red update and made my first character after a long hiatus, my angelic buster.
And when I first started playing maple on a crappy computer as a little kid.
Gosh I am getting emotional
I feel you. I used it on my old what-the-hell-are-these-stats-tho warrior and got that ugly-as-sin spiky mess. I resolved to cover it up with helmets as much as possible because it was gods-awful.
God, I remember I got that “Runaway” hairstyle or whatever from one of those random coupons... I actually quit the character, I thought it was so bad.
In 2009, there was a Chinese New Year Lucky Bag monster in the Nautilus, and I solo'ed it with an Archer (it took around 2 hours, I think). No one else was around, so I was able to redeem all of the drops with the Maple Administrator.
Also, seeing people swarming Big Puff Daddy that would spawn on the staircase outside of Kerning City hair salon. So many unique event monsters and bosses pre-Big Bang. At least we still get to fight Turkeys around Thanksgiving time.
2. Exploring Amoria and getting to the end, only to find out that there was an NPC for the Wedding Party Quest. I also tried fighting the Sakura Cellions at the top of the first mob map, but would mostly loot the mesos if the high-leveled player(s) that were training didn't pick them up.
The "Beauty or Beast" quest was also fun to do. 25 Squishy Liquids and RNG. The first time I did it, I was playing as a female character and I got the Stella hairstyle (female afro). Eventually, I made a Night Walker in 2008 and got Orange Antagonist (had the default Orange Rebel hairstyle). Many Sins had that hairstyle, and I assume most spent NX to get it, but I was lucky.
3. Noob Training Camp, and in general, the Beginner tutorial back before Wizet was acquired by Nexon Korea. The green outfit you would wear and the monsters you would see and could fight (Leatty) are so nostalgic.
4. The Legacy UI. Everything was simple and easy to navigate (the HP and MP bars). I don't like the UI now because I occasionally die when fighting bosses because of the center-of-screen HP/MP box.
I have so many more memories of pre-BB MapleStory, including a "Maple GF" that I met in Happyville with my Night Walker. She was three or four years older than me (I was 13 at the time). Looking back on it now, that was a weird but memorable time.
I would argue #4 as being less about the on-screen position and more of the, in comparison to the old UI, more muted colors of the HP/MP bars. Making those more vibrant would probably go a long way toward being more eye-catching for some players.
The "noob" green suit at the very beginning of training camp.
Taking the ship to Orbis for the first time and get killed by the Balrog, till you became strong enough to face him without hiding downstairs.
The Monster Carnival PQ: trying to earn the necklace with the right stats that you need with your character.
Amoria... and well, getting married only to get the best stats ring.
First time that Dojo came out and everyone in the map were Arans. Or Demon Slayers, just a few moths later.
But the most, was my guild.
Maple gave me the opportunity to play with many of my friends all over the country.
I'm still in contact with all of them and they're all feeling nostalgic about these days of the past.
Mu Lung Dojo was actually introduced pre-BB, in mid-2009. Big Bang happened in December 2010. And the Demon Slayer class was introduced post-BB (it's technically part of Resistance because of the introduction sequence).
