I actually remember that I stopped playing because the grind was too slow and my life was getting very busy, so I stopped at a time many call a "golden time to play" because you had to sink way more hours in to even get a single between lvl 30~40 than it would take me to play other games to completion on my game console RPGs.
I understand where you're coming from, the grind wasn't fun at all, hence is why you did PQ's with party's, socialized with people whilst killing monsters. That slow paced gaming atmosphere screamed player interaction beyond belief, also even though it was more difficult to level back then the sense of achievement was far more superior. If you were a level 70, you were by definition a "god" in the Maple world. A lot of people say it was just too hard back then to level up. Well, we can say it's just too easy to level up now, listen that's just the way it is, you have people who are fine & content with the way MapleStory is right now. Then you have people who want to play the old MapleStory again, & everyone has to understand something. This community has a foundation to stand on where Old school Maplestory players do not, hence is why you have people mentioning the game & requesting for it to be brought back on all corners of social media. People have to understand it's not a nostalgic trip that is temporary, "I" & many others are genuinely itching to play this game again long term but we just don't like present MapleStory. Why would any of us in the same vote be seen in our numbers if we don't even have a foundation to stand on so Nexon can hear our voice? I've spoken to countless people who get completely emotional about this topic & start tearing up because they miss old school MapleStory so bloody much. You guy's have your world to play on, so why can't we just have ours back? & we'll leave you alone, we will become your friends & will help you with anything you'd like. We're in this together regardless of which game style we choose we're here to have fun. Why would anybody ever want to pass up thousands of old school players coming back to the game even if it meant throwing everything into it but the kitchen & sink to get the server started. Start a global poll on the main page, get feedback from players, set goals. If we get X amount of votes & feedback this will happen, if we get to this point, this will happen, so on & fourth. just give us a fighting chance for us to show you it's worth it for Nexon to invest in us old school players & you'll have the response you were looking for. We've always been here waiting, we've just been waiting for a familiar voice to call us all back home so we can once again reunite with our fellow comrades in what a lot believe to be the golden era of MapleStory. Thank you.Its2Sharp4U wrote: »FuriousJamez wrote: »I understand where you're coming from, the grind wasn't fun at all, hence is why you did PQ's with party's, socialized with people whilst killing monsters.

Most of Old MapleStory's leveling curve was due to the fact there was a lack in content. So of course it was meant to be hard to get to Level 30, 50, and 70. However, trying to convince players of the new MapleStory era simply won't cut it, it just doesn't work.
We've dealt with countless threads about this topic, not to mention it's currently banned for discussion. Sure there may be thousands of people who will be willing to play Old MapleStory if it was brought back. But at most from the previous thread from the old forum that is now gone by our old Community Manager we haven't seen those thousands of players.
At most we may have seen a dozen or two at best, but those "thousand of people" are not a stable reliability. They seem more like fragments from a time long ago that hasn't been reunited and just lingering there. I don't think Nexon will spend their resources to promote something that doesn't have a stable ground. If anything the only chance at this point is for those people who want to put this into a reality, is by gathering those people and rethink how it can happen.
This isn't the first time this topic has been elaborated on, but I haven't seen much progress for each time someone mentions about it.
The lack of individual content came later on with the evolution of the game as it grew older it obtained that content in return. Hence making it more efficient to train within the game. I was ok with the fact more training spots were implemented for players.
I haven't played MapleStory for years & years, I've only seen videos, pictures of people hitting millions of lines of attacks, leveling ridiculously, totally skipping out on the beginner to mid levels way to fast so i don't have the proper knowledge to speak about what is present.
Why would i have to make it my obligation to convince the present Maplestory players that an old school server should come into fruition for it's older audience? Does that make sense to you? Would you tell someone who's devoted to eating vanilla ice cream to just stop eating it & start eating chocolate ice cream instead?
Cause once you go black you never go back, & the same can be said for old school Maplestory players. Let me ask you something there Sharpy, cause you are sharp mentally after all correct?
Also i said this in the post you responded to pretty much, why would the old school players be encouraged to speak out about an OSMS servers coming into fruition if the communication among the community, & the foundation present MapleStory players have all ready is completely obsolete for those OSMS fans who have absolutely nothing to stand on & be a global voice as a whole.
Now, that being said, do you think personally it's going to be any easier, what ever the cause may be for the topic being banned in the forums. Probably lot's of spam people not approaching it the right way having ill will towards people when they did it ETC.
To be honest with you Sharp, you're just not looking in the right places brother, Twitter covered with people talking about it, Youtube covered with it. Coppersan "A popular Maplestory player" just made a video about the 10 things in old school MapleStory old players will never forget. Oh & MapleStory on Facebook, forget about it, they posted a couple pictures pertaining to OSMS & the ludi PQ numbers. People went crazy, hundreds of comments, thousands of shares & likes.
So i know the demand is there no questions asked, they come in spurts, you'll have someone mentioning something about old school & a whole bunch of people will jump on it demanding for it to come back, happens on Reddit to.
So what it all boils down to at the end of the day, is we need our foundation back, Nexon needs to take this serious one time, one chance for redemption. They need to put a poll on the official MapleStory website. Promote it, get the word out OSMS is in the realm of a possibility & you'll have your answer.
The first bloody minute that poll goes live you'll have flocks of OSMS players coming out of the wood work to support there game & once & for all resurrecting an alleged stone age game that was never given a fighting chance again up until now.
I've been so relentless with this, responding to hundreds of people for the past few months, a lot of people would quit because it's hard.
& i know Maplestory/Nexon has so many things on there plate right now to handle but we're willing to offer you that extra plate with our
support. To finally convince you the time has came for an old school Maplestory server to come into the works & have every player re-live
the good old days. For every younger generation player to be able to try MapleStory back in it's prime golden era once again! & FYI, this isn't just for you Sharpy this is for everyone willing to read it. I'm gone, take care all!
I don't know how you put this game together, but whenever i run Ursus i get about a frame every 5-10 seconds. its really fun. I really like not being able to do Ursus. And this awesome disconnect and instance sharing of the investigation? Come on guys. I know Nexon america doesn't make a lot of money compared to the Homebase, but i would rather just not have maple than have these ridiculous leftovers of programming you give us.
unless of course there is some secret to making these things work. I would really like to assume its not my comp but i guess everything is possible.
