Exploration in the old maple is one of the most nostalgic experience

Remember when: *Leveling was so hard, everyone said “Grats!” when you did *Everyone at Free Market spammed with @@@@@@@@ to outcompete others’ chat boxes *Omok Game Board used when you were AFK *Getting scammed by mofos through trade and sending mesos to strangers because you were gullible *Having Icicles and collecting different throwing stars *Dexless sins had Big Dick Energy *Spamming “JPQ” *Trying to jump to the middle sewer at KPQ *Using /find to track those sneaky asshole who got into party quests Everyone comment your best nostalgic Maplestory moments 😢😢

Still remember how struggling it was if I missed the ship from Victoria Island to the Orbis which scheduled every 10 or 15 minutes...hahah, and being killed by balrog on the ship due to curiousity😂

Man, this nostalgia gives me such a rush of emotions. Starting my own Guild and being recognized as a top Guild on the server. The day I hit 200 and having everyone around me spamming showing love and the announcement it would show everyone playing that I hit 200. Random people whispering congratulations. Getting married in APQ with someone I fell in love with that I never even physically met. The obvious ones like KPQ, LMPQ, the carnival, just spending all those days grinding. Then it all just went downhill when my character got hacked and someone stole everything and then got petty and went back and deleted my character. That was a painful day, as dramatic as it sounds, you're a kid and that's your life's work essentially all gone. Hackers were so wild and prominent back then. What's crazy is a fellow guildmate I found out recreated my character and leveled it back to 200 for me. He's forever someone no matter how much time passes and we don't speak, will forever hold a part in my heart. I actually just messaged him after watching this to check in. I'm almost 29 now, and I was 18 when I stopped playing. People thought I had a real issue with how much time I spent on Maple, but this was some of the best memories of my life.

Man, maplestory what a game. I remember my past and it's wonderful. Maplestory isn't the same anymore. but watching these videos make me remember the good times.

until this day, still nobody knows who Fangblade is. He came to Maple World, conquered it and left in silent.

I wish i knew i was in the good old days before they were gone... i really took for granted how magical it was playing mapleatory for the first time back in 2007 with my brother and cousin

Crazy! I didn't even know I played maple at its first year haha. I feel like I've not played for 2 years but it has been 6 years! That's crazy.

man.. why do I remember all these moments just like it was yesterday when it’s already been more than 10 years? Thank you for this nostalgic video

0:32 Holy shit. I felt like i got punched in the gut seeing the top 5 on the leaderboard. curryishott, tiger, suuushi... man, we were really living in simpler times back then, weren't we?

Godamn , i started playing maple when i was around 9/10 , now im 23 haha , time sure flies us by.....currently not playing maple but still following the content , maybe in the future i will be back :) , nice seeing your vids it always gives such a warm fuzzy feeling , and stay safe with whats goin on now :)

This legit brought a tear to my eye. Seeing those first couple years of the game was glorious and I wish I could re-experience it. Some good times were had!

Anyone remember the maple leaf event that came around every year? I still have my maple leaf chair from it 😭

God why can't they just hurry up and release an oldschool version...

I started my MapleStory in 2005, I still remember my archer was lost in El Nath and got no potions.

holy crap there is no way has it been 10 years since i started playing maplestory. i have been playing on and off since arans release and i am still yet to get lvl200... ''-''

2007 is when i started playing i remember recieving my first laptop at the age of 7 this game was legendary i would fake stomach aches just to stay home and play this under my bedsheets all day

I remember when I first started selling ores by the hay stack in henesys to get gear. Everyone passed that spot to train the next map. I remember people used to chill in that map all the time. It was a hotspot for training while still being around other maplers. I miss that. You had so many random interactions with people. I remember pretending to get adopted and having a maple mom and sister for a little bit. Good times. Lots of memories for sure.

Thanks for the timeline and nostalgia

Being a player since 2008, my childhood was built on the grind... and sometimes the drop game, other then that, this game will always make me come back somehow through curiosity. Heres to more years to come.

I remember when I first started playing in grade school in 2004-2005, there was only one world, "Tespia." There were only 4 classes, and if I remember correctly Orbis wasn't even around then, let alone all the other maps besides Maple Island and Victoria Island. I wanted to be a mage, but because I didn't know better, I added all my SP into strength so I could level up faster in the beginning, only to realize I had permanently messed up my character stats. I also maxed energy bolt instead of magic guard, so I also never was able to take much of a hit from stronger monsters. I quit around level 36 after 2nd job advancing to a cleric since it became so hard to level up, but I will never forget when the times were simpler, no one knew what they were doing, and we just had fun exploring a brand new world. Thanks for posting videos like this coppersan to bring back the nostalgia!

there was a period after big bang when game was still super fun PQ were still booming, leveling was still challenging enough and party areas at high levels were popular and a fun place to meet friends... to me that was the peak of maple. Before that was nostalgic but had many issues... and after that became the game it is today which you cant even play late game without p2w and you speed to lv 200 in a couple days entirely solo then just buy gear and log in to do your dailies..

the game I've played for the longest and still don't know shit about.

Oh my gosh. What a trip down memory lane. I used to play when I was around 10 or so. I was in 3rd or 4th grade and now I'm 22 in my graduate program. I still play maple, and it's not the same as it used to be. Thanks for making this video and reminding me of my childhood and for the nostalgia!

Idk why I cry in every nostalgic maplestory video

many years have passed, I remember a lot with maplestory when with my friends we met in a civer cafe to play all together, I stopped playing since 2010 and as soon as I return and many memories I have had with your videos I love them, Greetings from Honduras

8:17 "Forget everything you know about Maple Story" =( If it ain't broke don't fix it.

All the friends I meet on pq, henesys and fm has long gone forgotten me that's the saddest things for me

Started playing MapleLegends, and the nostalgia is unreal.

Dude, I just reunited with maplestory, It was 6 years ago since I played the last game, now I'm playing it again, I do remember that one guy gave me over 60 million mesos

This made me realize that I played so much maple back in the day. Each year you described in my memory felt like several years of me playing back then.

I miss the old days, I spent so many hours playing this game. Good times.

nothing will ever make me feel as nostalgic as old maple, great vid man

I didn't know, but after watching this I realized I played at the very beginning of Maple Story Global, around the time Zakum was released, until little after Cygnus Knights were added. 2005-2006 was peak MS, RIP.

Great video Coppersan! It's crazy being 24 and coming back to your videos, great to see you're still making quality content. Actually redownloaded maplestory while watching this

I started playing maplestory in 2005 at the ripe age of 7...! Some of the most memorable moments and events for me were: It took me hours to roll the perfect 4/4. The old cursor was a blue diamond, and the buddy list was skinny. The first time I made a character, I left maple island at level 7, and my brother made me restart. I made a warrior, but I loved the mage clothing. I spent all of my money buying both male and female mage gear, only to realize I could not wear any of it. Perion channel 1 was the place to be to sell/buy things before freemarket. Kerning PQ was the ideal way to get from levels 21-31. Pig beach was a great place to train. My brother and I got scammed 3k mesos for a sword we really wanted, through the "tab tab space enter" method. Collecting candies during the halloween event, and getting the pumpkin basket Getting the Pocahontas hat thingfrom the thanksgiving turkey event. The ship to Orbis, and accidentally going AFK before it started and getting killed by Balrog. Getting stuck in El Nath. My brother's friend had to come and help me find the way back. The og Prodigy - I met him a few times in Bera. He was a godly level 70. Sleepywood dungeon escapades just for fun. When Cash Shop first came out. Going to florina beach just for fun. The Christmas tree event, spelling things with letters, getting the rudolph nose thing Getting my first Cash Shop pet, and changing my hairstyle. The surfboard event. Ludi PQ was the best way to get from level 35-51. Making friends, hanging out at Henesys channel 1, trying to get EXP hairstyles Exploring Aqua Road. Getting stuck with horrible hair from the Amoria free hair quest. Crowds attending Amoria weddings. ...I'll probably think of more later

I remember when they added cross world party quest. People would queue up for dimension crack until lvl 70 when you would go to Romeo and Juliet. R&J was op until I think it was nerfed. Now its empty

05-08 were the prime years. Everything after that got a little too ridiculous IMO.

15 years, that's such a long time. Such a great video, really brings back the nostalgia =P I remember how great the community was back then pre-big bang, random strangers would help me along and it was super easy to make friends. Parties were common and everything was just so full of life. It kinda tapered off after the big bang, but I stuck around for a while. Haven't played for years after reaching 220, but I'll be there for the 15th anniversary!

What an absolute crazy rollarcoaster. I can't believe that certain content is already as old as it is. Although as an EMS player we lagged on content so that might explain it. Great work bringing a tear to my eye and making me very nostalgic. One of my favorite maple memories was back when Hyves was still a thing and we'd have the Maplestory Hyves group and we were waiting for big bang to drop and I remember how much that got delayed and every delay it got we just were screaming in the comments lol.

6:14 ... when you listen to this music and your heart is literally sinking because you miss the past so much ;(

The fact that it took 3 years after launch for someone to reach 200 shows just how hard it was back then. Bear in mind that the people at the top of the ranks were grinding 10 hours a day since release and it still took that long

I remember playing the OG maplestory back in first grade. That was in Korea in 2004. I'm 22 now and in the US. Time sure does go by fast. Feeling very nostalgic, thank you for this video

Still miss showing off my 3rd job skills in hhg1 to the noobs that just started.. Good old days :(

Seriously hoping that we will see a classic version of MS released soon, in the same way Blizzard released classic WoW.

U gatta love how the screen is full of people everywhere in the early years, less people after Big Bang but still packed with party quests and training, then 1 to maybe 3 ppl in the recent years... sad to see it deserted.

Thank you for making this video :) brings back so many memories

The "kiddy love" going on in this game around 2007 was crazy and a big part of it for a lot of people I bet haha.

2011 was such a Golden Age for me in this game. Super wealthy, OP character, huge Guild with tons of friends. I remember having a Protege, and giving him my old gear for free every time I upgraded it, the guy was so happy. And I remember getting the permanent Dragon mount, and people losing their minds when I rode through populated towns. A few months ago I jumped back into the game to see how things were after years away from it, and now I'm essentially broke, my main class is obsolete, and my once OP gear is average at best LOL.

the day a old school maple comes out I'm not leaving my house for at least 2 weeks

Crazy feeling knowing that one day we all logged out and never logged back in...

What a trip through time. I'm much older now and can't play or enjoy maple the same way I used to but it was a big part of my childhood. Which is probably why i still watch content from your channel just to relive my excitement with the game through these lol.

One of the most amusing things i find about being a maplestory fan is that im only 6 days older than the GMS release but its still the game i know from the longest time. gotta give a shout out to my dad who prob downloaded it for my brothers.

Damn. I remember how hard it was to level back in the early days, seeing those surfboards and skis tho... really miss old ms and playing with old friends

Omgoshh coppersan!! This was such an incredibly well made & thoughtful video. It must've taken so much effort & time to make this! It was really enjoyable to watch & I learned so much too 😊 Thanks for compiling all the memories & timeline! Honestly such an amazing video 😁🙌🏻 Cya in the 15th maple anniversary event!! 🥳 MapleStory continues!

Thanks for the nostalgia blast. Man.. I always forget how much I miss pre-big bang MS..

they should release a version of maplestory called classic maplestory with old school hard to level up and mesos being scarce that would be really nice to experience again

Hah first, jk, I always play and stop playing maple, I have been following ur channel for a few years, idk exactly why, but after watching the video about maple timeline a few years ago I was waitting for an updated version, it's nice that you actually made one! Be safe, ur videos are awesome

It's just so crazy that everything you show, all the miniclips, all the areas, all the random items. I recognize them all. This is truly the best game of my life and nothing will top it.

Man, thanks for making this, loved it

Remembering everything from the first second makes me feel old lmao.

i remember back in the day that's how long people spent rolling the dice during character creation to get perfect primary and secondary stats. i didn't want to waste my time so my bowman had like 7 base int or something like that Lol. i also have the mark of beta bandana on my lvl 32 bowman in scania. i wonder if he's still exists somewhere.

im not crying, you are 😭😭😭😭😭 i played this game from 2005 - 2012. basically my whole childhood. now I just watch your videos and reminisce on the good days :) thanks for this little trip down memory lane 😭

I remembered when aqua road came out and everyone was so excited in Swimming.

12:15 "The biggest boss maple has ever had, spanning over multiple maps" Gollux: Am I a joke to you?

Things you didn’t mention , there were only 4 classes up until 2008 when the pirate class was added , henesys pq with the moon bunny , as well as Ariant PQ , I don’t remember the years but they’re classics 😁

What a phenomenal nostalgia trip. Thanks for this. I quit a year or two after Big Bang. At first it was a nice but then realizing Dexless builds were ruined it felt like a whole 'nother game. Nostalgia that was needed. Thanks again man.

this brings back a lot of memory! thanks!!

fuuuuuck I was ten when I started playing maplestory? I remember when it was only Scania and Bera, like it should be. This game taught me more on how to type on a keyboard than my school ever did. I remember someone asked if I played piano because I could type so fast and I was too embarrassed to say that it was due to an online game, so I just lied and said I played piano LOL. Look at the world now, gaming is somewhat acceptable now lol. And then sadly one day in 2014 my account password randomly stopped working and I had to leave my dope ass i/l mage at lvl 169 and watch all my friends reach 200 before me ;o; sad days. I quit after that lol. Wow this brought back so much nostalgia, this was my liiiife for like 9 years. damn dude... I kinda want to try playing again now lol.

The easiest way to tell an old mapler from a new one is to see if he uses Basic Damage instead of Slash Damage.

0:32 was what I remember Maple Global looking like, also the moment when FangBlade took Tiger's spot as #1 in overall rankings. Going to Basil Market and Hidden Street to find out how much you should be selling your stuff at the FM's. Then going to the FM and trolling booths and leaving responses saying "let me know you are leaving, I want your spot." Then you turn around and sell the spot to make profit. The party quest in Ludi. The jump quest in Sleepywood. Some of the better memories: - the wait for the ship to Orbis - the Crimson Balrog on the way to Orbis - the summoning bags in the different cities - rolling for your stats If any of you remember those days, we have come a long way but remember the good ol days.

Makes me so sad watching those 2005 clips.... I remember ALL of those amazing grinds and friends made! Was in middle school best times of my life!

it's been ten years since evan launched?! omg!

band of thieves best skill ;-;

Maple nostalgia videos will never stop making me tear up xD My most nostalgic points are the Training camp tutorial and the old pqs, especially carnival, orbis, ludri and Kerning pq

A master piece coppersan. Well crafted ❤

2010 RIP MS

Funny moment when a bishop ‘door’ a dude into the female sauna room and he will be judged as a pervert

This is great! Its like a Maple History Lesson. Well done!

Well I can say I'm 27 years old and I started Maplestory in the year of 2005 and played all the way until the big bang..... wow this is a nostalgic video, great work my friend. This was the best game ever and I met the most amazing and friendliest people on here.... love from Windia. RyuS1n / RyuD1t

Back when derangedcow was a thing

2010... it was a dark year for maplestory.... up untill that point player number where rising constantly, and exponentially. after big bang... it all went downhill.

The smile on my face when i remembered everything while watching this video. Thank you :) *jesus im getting old*

Bro coppersan still making insane content for maple even though it’s not so populated these days. Respect! Keep going pls untill this game shuts down.

* Get the tear wipes *

2010 was the year most of player quit

Been thinking about coming back to play for the past week.. I have no words to describe Maplestory, best memories.

Thank you for this video, was looking for such a video for a long long time.

Is everyone going to ignore the guy at 2:51 with the name iButtFckRats?

Surprisingly one of, if not the most played game of my life. I started when I was 6 or 7 playing on a private server with my family, then began playing GMS around 2011 but never played seriously until 2015. Though I've been through some tough times, issues revolving around depression, MapleStory was there to pick me up and help me collect my own thoughts, piecing them together, thinking while I grind. Even if I don't remember or will ever meet the people I met on the game again, I was happy to be apart of the community, and will hopefully stay strong as this game stays alive. Can't wait to marry my future husband on this game, who is playing as a girl character because we still can't gay marriage.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL 🥰😭🙈 Thanks coppersan! xoxo

Thank you for these amazing memories!

8:00 more like "the game killer happened"

I remember back in the day when an actual GM is roaming around the town to see who's cheating and banned them. Also I remember getting banned for scamming trade fame 😂

Nostalgia pura, amo Maplestory, faz 13 anos que conheço e não consigo parar até hoje, uma pena nós Brasileiros não temos suporte, obrigado Coppersan pela nostalgia. Pure nostalgia, I love Maplestory, I've known him for 13 years and can't even stop, a pity we Brazilians don't have support, thanks coppersan for the nostalgia. Sorry for my bad english 🤣😂🤣

I will never get sick of those nostalgia maple videos man

8:17 yup , i stopped the video here . "Forget everything you know about maple story" , more like forget about maple story , welcome to numbers story .

Gets me all teary eyed thinking about the old maple. All the good memories and careless nights of just grinding/meeting new friends and talking to them until 4am. I still know some of my good maple buddies but something just isn’t the same. I think it’s because we’re all grown up now we have responsibilities and not as much free time to just be worry free. A feeling like old maple is legendary and nothing can bring back the nostalgia like it does. Ahhh I sure do miss it. But life moves on and it really is once in a lifetime feeling that I’m glad I had. Thank you Nexon.

LordKatz damn i remember his video's.. Nice video dude! I really appreciate your effort making these! Lekker bezig👍🏻👍🏻

I remember MS when Tiger was the highest level. LOL, I stopped playing around 06-07 and haven't looked back til now. Man good video copper, really nice to see a summary of what I missed.
