It would be just as easy to give people the option to have no avatar. I mean it was easy enough in the old forums to tell people apart who didn't have any avatars.

Or bring back custom titles for us that display right beneath the name and above the avatar picture.

actually the recent patch notes was A+ and quite informational! I am happy that the patch note did not change to the extremely short 1 during the mushroom shrine event -- or sometime around that

The new patch notes were extremely lacking in my opinion.

* They weren't clear on what was changed for Kaiser/Luminous/AB and didn't even attempt to say why those changes were made.

* A lot of skill changes didn't come with numbers. Of note was all of the damage changes without numbers (mostly with hyper skills), and the fact that the radius of Bishop's Heal was reduced, but we weren't told by how much. NL's shadow Web had its height decreased, but we weren't told by how much

* The "A Better Maple System Changes" didn't even match the list we were given in the A Better Maple Update memo that is still on the front page of the website.

* Some of those changes listed didn't have any details whatsoever (We still haven't been given an answer as to what exactly was revamped with the maple reward items. The coin exchange is listed as an event in this list, but there is no related event listed under the events section of the patch notes. Etc...)

I could go on but I hope Nexon (if they even read this) can see the picture. This is just not adequate. I'm not trying to be rude, merely truthful. I don't think its that crazy to say that we, as players, deserve better information in our patch notes. Its almost to the point where I wish we would get 2 separate patch notes, written by 2 different people. 1 of which focuses solely on the events coming up, and the other one to focus solely on the actual changes made to the game. Be explicit in what they are, why they were made, give us numbers etc....

GMS "seemingly" doesn't want players to easily obtain Tyrant Gloves at all unless you pay for a chance to get them via marvel. They "seemingly" sprinkle white lies everywhere telling players that it's either broken or on the way and hope the players forget about it. (See Frenzy Totem, Auction House, Hekaton itself, Clay Skin, etc). Hekaton may be "laggy" but it's still easier to defeat the boss in one attempt than to farm the daily requirements for one.

Honestly I don't even care if the boss is broken and laggy. I just want new prices in our kritias shops that reflect the reality that we don't have hekaton. Our prices were set with the notion that we could earn coins at the same rate as KMS players who have access to hekaton, and this just isn't true.

The only nostalgia I have is missing the sense of exploration that old maplestory had. You could be walking in a map and fall down and die in one hit from the way more powerful golems. Or take a wrong portal and end up in a map with mobs several levels higher than you (which was deadly back then before stats were inflated to heaven). Trying to find my way around, and trying to find/remember all the hidden portals in maps, even the ones that did nothing but teleport you from one side of the map to the other (especially those in fact).

MS is missing that sense of exploration now because it was dumbed down to be more noob friendly. But even if it hadn't been dumbed down, that sense of exploration wouldn't have lasted this long anyway. I've gotten older, and I would have already discovered all of that by now, so it would no longer be a surprise.

I miss it a lot, but bringing back old maplestory won't bring that same sense of exploration back with it. Best to let it stay as fond memories instead of trying to bring it back and having those memories of it ruined

I want supreme world so bad T_T
