I was also a windia player back in the day. Played somewhere since v0.06~v0.23 i believe

You aren’t the only one that remembers Tiger and Sushi. I still remember adventuring to go see Tiger killing sharks, saying stupid shit to him and getting a 😑 at most for a response lol

I remember. I used to run IPSGIVE back in ‘05-‘08. I loved just killing time and helping other players. I was the guy who’d help and then you’d out-level me because I was just training the noobs up and getting them used to the mechanics of PQs and classes and ALL the details of newbies needed to know- along with helping them with their quests and just encouraging them. I miss that.

i missed the old gms 😢😢i would relive it agian if i had a time machine thanks for sharing this video ❤❤❤❤

Maplestory was a chat world *with* a game you could play while socializing.

Ahhhh that’s so true

Maplestory is where I first got scammed and learned how to scam.

@@NinjapowerMS ME TOO LOL HAHA do you remember the trade scam? 1,111,111 instead of 11,111,111

Social Media was very prevelant in that time.

I had taken a break and when I got back I thought people were hacking / glitching since we had the chair glitch for like 2 days before I realized I could do the same 😅 KPQ life changing

Man what a moment that was. I started in beta, how time flies.

thats now called quality of life updates but hey you was a kid so of course anything that small would make you feel life changing games these days lack updates and characters that make the game good or fun these days .

Forgot that wasn't a thing in the past. Damn ye that was crazy

hahahahaha for some reason i was convinced that the jumpdown update was a bug and i insisted to all my friends that it would be fixed in a future patch. not sure why i thought that

Dude I used to pretend to go to sleep then sneak to the computer to play. Only got caught once and my mom was pissed was 3 AM on a Saturday and I was doing kerning PQ trying to hit level 30 on my assassin. Thought I was a badass with my 6 att BWG, Icies and 17 attack claw that I used 100% scrolls on and was dexless

@@dewwwd3431 classic memory, and that was badass back in the day. I remember when I made my first 1m in the Bera FM, thought I was so rich. Top class merch.

the amount of times I stayed up all night playing this game as a kid was insane. I was literally addicted. my parents had to intervene@@dewwwd3431

@@dewwwd3431lmaooo grinding til 3 am for a Kerning PQ , wow what a nostalgia hit

@@dewwwd3431 that was so me :'D haha i laughed when i read this

The same thing with Classic World of Warcraft, I know people personally that took weeks, days off of their jobs lmao - maple would be intense.

There is a few private servers which is the exact same as the old school maplestory

I know but theres only a few thousand players on the most popular server. Feels like a ghost town when you play. @@Shafiksz

@@weedseeds5211 Exactly, and it is not the same thing. For example, playing osrs is very different from playing some old rs private server.

Private servers do not cut it. Just give us maple classic. It would EXPLODE.

I remember the "congratz". You just gave me nostalgic hit here. 😅

and then you realize some psychopaths actually played hp warriors or beginners all the way above the level 100 holy shit

@@kajetanbawelnoswiat LOOL funny you say that, before quitting Maple I've had a beginner that I got level 85. PQ's especially ludi helped a ton!

@@thetanweerali hell ya! i remember that

wtf khainpriest still plays... jesus i remember him back in 2008 days on khaini in his guild kamisultra or something?

Unfortunately in modern days, Nexon only cares about making the most money. But there are super good and popular classic servers! I recommend Mapleroyals.

Have you ever considered looking into private servers like MapleRoyals? There are several that have rollbacks from various points in MS’ history. MapleRoyals being one of the ones to cover pre-big bang. I suggest you check it out!

There is a private server called MapleRoyals which is pretty good it’s 3.5x exp so not as slow as original game but out of all private servers it’s definitely best

@@dewwwd3431 nice, will definately take a look at it

@@dewwwd3431 sadly there seems to be an issue registering for an account, the login screen music got my nostalgia senses a-tingling. Pity, hope it gets fixed soon.

Yeah what if they redid it and instead of having 2x passes etc they just made that the normal leveling rate or maybe at like lvl 70 or sumthing.

The problem is it wouldn't take long for the game to be filled with bots, just like wow classic and gms, on private servers at least there's some kind of moderation to remove the trash, although they also have 2 big flaws which are too many servers and most of them being a 2 months p2w cashgrab, I really wish some of the serious server owners would team up to make something big or with plenty of new content without killing the oldschool feeling, like it happens with wow.

I played oldschool runescape on release. The nostalgia carried us for about a month, maybe 2, after that, the game absolutely needed new updates as it was just bleeding players almost to it's death. Everyone was older, game mechanics were figured out, metas were formed quick and people didn't like to deviate. The old Maplestory you knew is never coming back, it feels like it did because you were a kid. Any official oldschool maple servers would need new content if it wants to survive. It is not a simple straight road as you want to believe.

go play mapleroyals, good sever

Or the OG maplestory youtubers like Dray, missed, rcham,etc there's more but I forgot haha

K-styler unite ✊️

MapleStory, GunZ and MU Online for me

gunbound too

@@WhataTofu Oh yeah, J-Frog for life

Old school RuneScape is still going strong if you want another dose of nostalgia, even has a mobile app too

heyyy samee, but for me it was putting skill points on both hand and legs skill, and during my job advancement(i forgot is it 2nd or 3rd), I do not have enuf sp to use my sp on that higher job's skill, in the end im just stuck there so I just created another night walker character cuz it looks cool

That ship added to the immersion so much. Made it clear you're leaving your cozy home in Victoria Island and into the true adventure and establishing high level players as *heroes* to look up to and strive to match one day. To all those high level players who gifted me a town scroll after i explored areas way out of my debt, thank you.

Gunz was the goat. Maplestory second goat. Osrs third. I still play osrs n mapleroyals sometimes😂😂 i have a gunz ps dl but i havent played it rlly

Haha exactly the same, but played rs first, then ms and then gz

i remember that map with Big Ben looking clock tower with snow in it.. maybe it was a christmas update? dang the nostalgia @@markov622

Same!!

I remember coming back and getting to level 100+ in a few days that took my original character months to do lol

Dude you said the words! ❤

True, i guess we all at the ages of 25-35 range. people got married, kids etc.. we have less time. but we would still jump back for sure.

Royal?

you could just play on a oldschool private server like maplelegends, nexon will never make a oldschool server, they even banned discussions on it on their forum. I believe its because people would move from their game where you can pay for damage onto the oldschool version which is less profitable... so they'd lose money.

@@halfwaysleet It's more likely because an old school server wouldn't be profitable from the start. 60%+ of the current player base is in Reboot which is already a non-P2W server and lacks any of the hacking issues that the normal servers have. It would be hard to believe that the current player base would stay on an old school server for more than a couple of months, so now you're then banking development, server, maintenance, and staffing costs on nostalgia in a new branch of a now niche MMO.

@@TheTikeySauce honestly is not so niche, if they made a single official server where people could select the language they want, it would easily get hundreds of thousands, mantainance cost would be negligible relative to the potential profits (theres already chinese servers that get up to 10k online in some days, not sure if thet still do, there's legends that can get 1.5k concurrent, royals that can get 2k~ online, and many others and these are just private servers, so not many people play on them cause of that, ntm they appear as a virus when you download the files so many people that attempt to download it get sketched out and don't play) if there was an actual official one where people wouldn't worry about losing their progress in case it gets taken down by Nexon, it would get a significant number of players so long as it was properly advertised, especially if it was a pay to play system, like 5 dollars a month and or a fee to purchase the game, paired with strict rules against botting, they would make a significant amount of money from people attempting to bot since they would have to pay. But knowing Nexon they'd rather milk the cow right away instead of putting the servers health above profits, they'd likely add exp coupons/gacha for real money, etc. People underestimate how powerful nostalgia is. maple was as big as runescape and wow, and look how their os servers are doing
