What is 5 + 3? (Sorry, we have to ask)

Time to blow off some Maplestory steam.

Written by darkness on June 30, 2009
Yep, it's that time of the year again. Nexon comes out with a *coughNEWcough* patch, people see new stuff (awesome!) and I get to rant about the game. I've done this many times in the past, but this is the only place where people can appreciate (let alone understand) what I'm ranting about.

First off, Nexon fails at security and community response. Their techniques of banning are wholly unorthodox, not to mention unfair. They have virtually little power over the actual gameplay itself other than personal/seasonal events. Why not? For one simple reason: they didn't make those patches; they just took 'em from KMS (or whatever version) and translated them. Any bug change comes from them; any change made by Nexon personally is like waiting for tech support.

Second, Maplestory is too dumb. EXP curves, gachapon, increased drop rates, buying your own lvl 30 character? What happened to half the fun's in the journey? What the hell happened to the game? 5 bucks and you can potentially get a couple billion mesos! Maplestory has made $ = fun; anyone playing for free pretty much suffers (MTS doesn't work as fast as spending $25). You can't make your own story without money.

Well, there's my short-end rant for anyone who still lives in Maplestory. (Being limited to computer games really has dumbed me down)

It's like 3-4 hours if you Party Quest.

If you skip the grinding, what's left? I have a level 83 as well, Nass (and a level 58, and a bagillion 3x and 4x's), and it took a ridiculous amount of time to get there. People can do it in about a tenth of it now. It's really frustrating to see all your effort rendered pointless.


It doesn't matter how fast you level. Just play the game as it's supposed to be played. I've been insulted by "old-timers" because I got from 1-82 in about 3 weeks. While some people complain how "Back in the old days you couldn't." Sure, I've only been playing since Bera came out but updates happen for newcomers and to keep old ones here.


Party quest gets you there in 3-4 hours? -_-;
It took 10 hours of grinding before.

Please tell me how you got from 1-82 in 3 weeks before Exp x 2, Onyx apples, and all that stuff. It took me almost a whole year.

You couldn't, he got 1-82 in 3 weeks after all that, and after Nexon set up all those party quests and automatic perfect stats etc. etc.

No,no.

I got there by the time CPQ came out.

Almost all kinds of entertainment loses its flame of popularity and authenticity due to business

I have beef with everything you mentioned EXCEPT the exp curve and the increased drop rates.

I like the EXP Curve...and the increased drop rates (which would ultimately lead to lower prices in MS's INFLATED TO HELL economy)
