I can see the community got worse.

I stopped for about 3 years and decided to come back. It seems the community has become more immature and more smega spammy.
By smega spammy i mean whoever spent the most money on this game gets to wave their eweenus around.
It's sad...it's like playing with children.

    Last I checked Maplestory wasn't an M-Rated game and never was.

    Indeed, but what children spam about sexual things to each other or to gms. It's sad to see these children act like this.
    This may be E for everyone but many people who play this game are 20+. They act like children now.

    I hate to break it to you, but it was filled with immature brats back in 2005 as well.
    Online communities will always have good and bad.

    Personally, I haven't noticed a decline in the behavior of the community - but I have noticed a decline in a sense of community in general. I find it harder to find friends as a returning player now as a lot of the content is solo-focused. It almost feels like a single player game...

    you pay 1 k $ a month to nexon and then you can chat your personal conversations in public with smegas.

    I play the game for many years, most of the normal and mature maple players already quitted.

    Id say we've grown as a community, lots of new faces both in the game and on the forums :).

    you are probably too busy with the forum ;-) to "feel" the game.
    Many good players quitted the game. when hacks are not working after a patch the servers are very empty - almost dead.
    scania's market used to have stores at channel 1 (all doors) and channels 2-20 first door. now even channel 1 is half empty.
    There is a point when you realize that the time and money you waste on this game lead to nothing. the amount of gambling that this game includes is insane. (the virtual casino will be back tomorrow). In addition, NEXON can steal your account any second without a reason while showing you no evidence of your " crime ".
    After playing this game from its first days I can see how its dying.

    Personally I'd celebrate if hacks were permapatched out.

    Well I bet you get quite livid over passing by the machines that you pay a quarter and get a little plastic figurine. since to you it's gambling to pay money for a random item. Oh and we realize that our money gives us NOTHING PHYSICAL... I'd be scared to find out if I buy a Maple Kanda and it lands in my lap through the screen... Hell I'd be in the corner scared to get near my computer.

    That needs a little help I agree. But if you read the Terms of Service or the equivalent, you would read that You don't actually own anything on the account... NOTHING. That's the risk you take when you go Horntail hunting with a hacker in the group, or hold onto a strange weapon without asking where they got it. Yes the holders needs to be released if they only held it. But if you read it through you will realize that your account is theirs to begin with. I understand it and have an alt account incase Nexon thinks I did something bad and have to start over.

    @justsomeone im pretty active ingame :o. While scanias popuplation may have lessened, reboots has greatly increased :), and with the recent server migration now we have eu players as well! I'd say community wise were on a good path right now.

    You can't permanently patch hacks out, as it's impossible to pre-empt what people are going to develop and exploit. Patching hacks is a game of chase. Hacks are developed and exploits are discovered, then you try and patch them out as you're made aware of them.

    I was playing maple story for almost 13 years and never ever read the TOS. Its a game after all.
    I also do not know even 1 player that never broke AT LEAST 1 TOS !

    Anyway , since the GMs are not able to use their brains or having no IQ, only copy pasting like robots, and the CM give false info, I am done being NEXON's slave for good. I do not regret playing this game during it's first years, I even met few players from my country in real.
    I should have stopped playing when the gambling part and 'pay to win' part took over.

    Except that EMS players for the most part were upset because of the forced merge. And the new influx is shifting the EMS server.
    It used to be harmonic and not a lot of bragging (Europeans generally don't do that). But after an influx of GMS players, some Euros as well as just about everyone who came in, are spamming about their equipmens, items, bla bla bla. And just nonsense gibberish.

    It started slowly after the merge, kind of feeling the atmosphere and then it blew up. My buddy list consists of 80% Europeans and 20% Americans, and in private chats the resentment of this is loud. I've seen a few new Europeans-only guilds as well, which is kind of sad.

    The EMS server is among the most populated because the majority of us chose to stay there as we didn't want to leave our friends or the convenience of playing with people from the same timezone (training, bossing purposes). and because we didn't want the same atmosphere that is now being forced upon us. So Euros staying in the Euro server plus a large influx of NA immigrants resulted in the server boom.

    Thankfully its still the most friendly server if you play during the day (GMT)

    In mybckn we get this:

    These megaphones were messages posted publicly in game so I can only assume that this is acceptable because he's not banned.

    One major difference I've noticed after we got moved is that NA Game Masters seem to be on a permanent holiday. Reported hackers before, the ones I reported are still in the same map 2 days later (meso farmers).
    The NA productivity level doesn't seem to be of high standard, as under Nexon Europe S.a.r.l they usually got banned 3-4 hours after being reported.

    Luna gets away from that sort of rhetoric thanks to the existing userbase whom hold different values. Was one who tried to call out an EMS guild in a similar manner but ended up being flamed so bad he went back to the GMS server.

    Need old EU GMs to take over for GMS. Seriously. You've let well over 10 hackers and botters hit 250 on my server alone. Imagine how many on other servers too?! That's a huge number especially when you consider how much time you've had (3months+ and some 6 months) and how many reports have been submitted against these players who blatantly hack almost 24/7.

    Downright pathetic seriously. There's absolutely no praise that can be given even with the ban lists you are displaying. Bit of a heads up about those also. When they ban 1 character on an account it bans all the characters on that account so the number of actual banned players is a far lower number.

    As for the community getting worse. Not really. Just the mentality and it's changed because of Nexon being incompetent in certain areas. People are just bitter about it all.
