The trend in gaming these days is to introduce an old school server for peeps who liked the old grind. While we're here arguing and wimpering about how crappy old maple is, OSRS and now WOW classic are booming.

Your own criteria for a good game has nothing to do with time.
If you are interested in game mechanics, don't spend 90% of your time arguing about irrelevant things and try to convince yourself that TIME is somehow relevan…

You are wrong, and the fact that you're assuming a game is going to be superficial because it can be cleared within 24 hours or 2 hours tells me your criteria for "great game" is a lot shallower than I had originally thought.…

Doesn't really matter to me either way. There are tons of games I've played that are fun, but 1-2 hours long tops. I don't rate a game based on how long I spend on it. That might be one of your top criteria, but evidently, we…

[2] That is an old Maple design scheme though.
The point you're missing is that old Maple requires months to unlock all the skills of your character.
New Maple still requires plenty of grind after 200, but i…

Sure, but couldn't you say that about the bosses? If the reward isn't satisfying, what do you do then?
The reward is the fight itself. Plenty of people play games to fight bosses simply because they're hard…

[2] I believe, currently, the game requires one to invest at least several months into upgrading their equipment to stand a chance at defeating "mid-tier" bosses, correct me if I'm wrong I…

@Bulbasaur I've said in the past as well that I would like to see MapleStory abandon these super high numbers for smaller scale damage.
This would make incredibly good gear only give slight advantage instead of being depended on …

What's the difference, in terms of level of enjoyment and time invested, between spending months to reach 4th job and spending months (time plus money) to upgrade gear and get high enough DPS to kill a bo…

Single-user games are closed-ended. Finite.
In RPGs, you spend your entire time in the game gradually learning skills and gaining stats and items, until you are strong enough to defeat the Final Boss, and then you win the game …

I don't know about you, but in games where it takes forever to unlock all the skills, they better be a single player RPG.
In MMOs that stuff is annoying as hell and not a game I like to play.
What aspect of "unlocking skills" …

I didn't miss the old days. I got bored of the grind and quit within weeks.
You might treat the idea of picking a class as having the same amount of weight as buying a home, or making 6 US-figures, but I definitely don't s…
I don't think it's possible to have a civil discussion on this topic, let alone logical, insightful, coherent arguments from most people. At most you'll get a few posts detailing the "good moments" of old Maple.
Either people enjoy games that are…
This game is terrible, the leveling is so slow. I don't want to spend years just to go from level 200 to 250 to 275. There should be a second "Big Bang" so that people can reach 275 in 1 to 2 weeks of casual playing.

Old Maple
- Do not create threads pertaining to Old Maple Servers, Legacy Server, Pre-Big Bang Servers, etc. You can talk about previous verions of MapleStory for me…
