What are your hopes for MS Classic World?

Personally I would just like for them to get around to making MS Classic have its own client. If the games were to share a launcher then that would be great but otherwise I have my doubts.

Classic Maplestory with some partial balance adjustments does sound good but the mention of "new areas" raises my eyebrow. Technically it is interesting news but if they go too far, is this not the same path that led to the Big bang?

What are your thoughts?

    It'll probably need new areas to maintain peoples' interest. Even the most often cited example for classic server arguments, Old School Runescape, had to release new content and new areas in order to not only keep a playerbase, but to get it to grow. Its playerbase was actually declining up until the point where they added something new, so I can see classic Maple going that direction if they don't introduce anything new.

    That said though, I have my doubts on classic Maple's success. But one thing I do hope for is that they don't do any graphical updates or remove skills or whatever. I really loved the magic claw animation back in the day and it really sucked to see it get taken away.

    Reasons why old maplestory was good:
    #1. community - nowadays you can level easily to 200. There's no need to party, or PQ to level. You can solo a bunch of bosses ALONE
    Old MS was about the community, people liked to play together. I made a lot friends back then. I enjoyed playing cuz it was fun playing with other people, not alone...
    #2 jobs - all classes looks the same crap to me now. Everybody has teleport or jump or AOE skill, or a dmg like NL skill to boss.
    Every class was distinct before. Bowsman and assassins was about dmg. Mages were good for training. Every class had a distinct ability or way to play. Now all classes looks boring and have the same way to play. I want to play the classes and feel that they are different!
    # 3 game made too easy - seriously I came back to test and in a week only doing QUESTS I lvled to 162...
    You don't enjoy being 1st, 2nd, 3rd job anymore....hell you barely need to apply skills pts, cuz you don't seem to enjoy your character evolution...your character just lvl too fast to enjoy and appreciate getting stronger slowly...you don't have that feeling that you are "getting stronger". Whats the point of 1st, 2nd and 3rd job if you can get to 4th in a day? Since early you just kill everything so easily, there's no effort in anything! I don't get any satisfaction lvling....I played when there wasn't even third job....yes it was a pain to lvl but there was some satisfaction in that. Whats the point in making the lvl cap range higher if I barely feel like lvling to 200 cuz the game is BORING now. There's no hard work needed...everybody is lvl 200, what's the point? I didn't use or had to buy potions and I'm lvl 162...seriously?? This game took all the early difficult and all the need to do hard work ...why would I keep playing further 200?? If the games starts at lvl 200, what`s the point in the earlier lvls? And that's why when you lvl you feel like BLEH "I'm 200 and it's another lvl", even if in the later game you made it harder to lvl, there's no point till lvl 200....you don't feel any accomplishment by lvling. If you don't feel it since lvl 1, then why would I play till lvl 200 to only start to have some satisfaction?
    #4 too much content now - well not the game fault, but it feels like I'm a new player...after coming back after 13 years or so....Everything is too confusing...a bunch of systems that you don't know how to use...

    i hope that it doesn't slowly become daily hell / event check-in hell and that classes actually feel distinct and unique. i don't want excessive flashiness and just want the overall vibe to be chill. of course i expect hardcore grinding for those that want to

    I want them to bring back old school pvp, and I want to fight bosses like ice knight, and for them to really go back and make party play great again, but also to make Maple great again, also make the community great again ;)
