MapleStory: Reboot announced

Its as if they're listened to their older players a bit too late. They did this because the current game is dead and the game's economy is ruined by botters/hackers.

It's not dead. It's still popular specially overseas. Anyways this is more of the same, yawn.
 
Does it actually make any major mechanical changes to how combat works though? Maplestory was pretty mindless from what I played of, think the highest I got was like level 30 or 40. I felt like I wanted to like it but just couldn't get the appeal of it.
 
Wow can't believe this game is still alive, used to play the shit out of this in high school, so much grinding.
 
I'm still more curious on when (if?) they're bringing MS2 over. I played a bit of the Korean beta, it wasn't that bad. The new isometric style was weird but it was oddly playable (outside of, you know, my 200+ ping to Korea).

I'm assuming they're just going to run both 1 and 2 in tandem to cater to the different markets, until enough people transition to 2 that they can finally shut it down (if ever).

The Zero character is a weird one which starts at level 100 and is locked into story quests until around level 180. Basically only for people who care about the story of maplestory (lol).

In other words don't play it.

Oh, thanks for the information! I guess I'll have to decide a new/first class, then.

Or I might pass entirely. I'm not sure I have enough time to play it, haha.
 
I played the shit out of MapleStory, loved it. Reboot is not for Maplestory Europe though, so meh. I'd like to try it out for the nostalgia hit though :)

Zero hasn't been locked in to story quests for a long time now. Once you reach 110 I think it was, you can now leave, rather than 180.
 
I reaply like this. The removal all those cash shop pay2win items makes this game infinitely more appealing. I'm looking forward to trying this on release.
 
It took me forever to get to level 80 back in the day, now it's so easy to level up. This really interests me though. I hated how everyone was OP because of cubing and scrolling. Screw the pay2win aspect, that's what ruined maplestory.
 
Ehhhh..guess I'll take a peek at what I missed since high school when this comes out.

This has proper controller support now, yeah?
 
I guess they had to do this because the current game is incredibly fucked. It's hacked to hell and back and the only way you get anywhere is if you yourself are hacking for a ton of mesos or were already rich and therefore can influence the market and value of goods. Inflation. Is CRAZY. It turns off a lot of people.
 
S> gloves for att 60% @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@2m@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
sounds interesting
 
This was a good amount of my summers in high school with friends.

I am entirely too old for this, but, I will download it and play
 
Useful items are designed to be available through gameplay, so some items will not be available in the Cash Shop, or will only be sold for mesos instead. Item enhancement is simplified, and trades are disabled. Rather than purchasing what you need from other players or the Cash Shop, you will earn it naturally through gameplay as you collect items and grow stronger!

What is this. Nexon stops milking players. What.

Yeah, I'm not surprised if the 3d remake didn't make it. The brand really depends on the 2d sprites I think.

What happened to 2?

Just because a sequel is announced (and released in Korea) does not mean they are going to stop developing a fundamentally different game that is still making them cash. If Blizzard ever releases another MMO you shouldn't expect them to shut down WoW either, even if its WoW2, until they see no money being made.

The best thing about the game is the character customization

I played in like 03-06? Years are probably wrong but it was right before new class when I stopped it used to be warrior thief and wizard with its sub classes


And 3 haircuts were available at start and the rest were paid with momey
 
This actually sounds incredibly enticing. I have a high level AB and Corsair that I just stopped playing because of the required cash investment to be "top tier".

Guess I'll download this tonight to get all those updates started.

Well, since it seems like money is still made through clothing purchases (real money, that is), and that the user base has shrunk considerably, maybe they're noticing that and trying to entice people to want to play again. It feels nearly impossible to keep up with the best players in the community, and not that it's a feasible goal to have max damage output in this game, but if you even want to play some bosses, you need to invest a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of money in this game, both fake and real. It's just become really fucked up. lol
 
letting you play the game without needing to spend countless hours making money with a shop in the market is cool.

i always wished i could just take my character and go fight stuff and also progress and get new weapons and armor from doing that

i would level one character, hit a wall with needing upgrades, and level another to make money to fund the previous character. then i'd get bored of the whole thing and stop playing.

i don't remember the exact timeframe i started playing but it was when Broa was a new server and the cash shop was first opening
 
Downloading again now. My AB is only 130, but I can train mindlessly for a bit. Looking surprisingly forward to this update. I already have a shit ton of mesos on my character, so as long as they don't wipe that, I'm set. I wonder if they will allow storage still to transfer mesos and items to other characters you have.

Sleepywood? Moderating that trading forum was my first internet responsibility and window into how fucking stupid people are.

Nah Basilmarket first when it was just the first 2-3 servers.
Maybe sleeywood after.

I fell asleep grinding those ice horned creatures that dropped Tobis once and my dad got super upset.

The grind was so real, Jesus.

Oh. I'm thinking earlier. Sleepywood was during Beta lol. Only one server back then. No cash shop and nothing past the initial world.

It's probably going to be another server, a clean slate.

But will it be optimized for something other than Windows XP
Old MS player here, the struggle was real on Win 7

Never had a problem running MS, and I've used XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 in that time.

Know what? If the haircuts can be bought with in game currency I'm in

This is not that rare. They have given away many coupons and randomizers over the years in events. My main character is blue skinned, and not by choice.
Here it is, none of that was bought with NX:
