Just wanted to say I appreciate all the support this video has gotten over the years. Not sure why but KZfaq has been randomly promoting this video for the past 2 months or so as KZfaq likes to do lol. Cheers to all the amazing times and memories we all have of this game, and shout outs to any one who still fu**s with this game. ✊

don't forget getting stuck in sleepy wood and having some one higher level to walk you out

Shout out to those guys who couldn't get past level 45 in maplestory 7 or so years ago.

The long boat rides. They made the world feel huge. It is WAYY too convenient to travel now.

I remember when it was just warrior , mage, thief , and archers lol.

- the apple suit from the beginning. - the original 4 jobs with no 4th job (bowman, thief, warrior and magician) -kerning city pq till lv 30 for 2nd job advancement -when you got a bad haircut and had to buy nx to change it -when you struggle doing jump quest -taking the ship between victoria island, orbis and ludi. and sometimes get killed by crimson barlogs. -reachling lv 70 is a accomplishment -everyone be scrolling glove for attack! -steely and illbis were the shit - people playing drop game -Hennessy hunting ground was the spot - people be hunting mushmom , zombie mushmom and blue mushmom for illbis -when guild pq was a thing -when people said "gratz" everytime you lv up -dexless sin was a thing - anyone still remember "track" when we do pq? -when getting into pq was really hard, you need to be good at clicking to get in. - ludi pq was packed, same goes for orbis pq. -when you see someone with zhelm, it means they're godly -the classic maps in maplestory (maple island, victoria island, ludi, orbis, aqua road, korean folk town, and omega sector, and mushroom shrine. -amoria pq for onyx apple. - when everyone love maple weapons back then. -when tiger and fangblade were still playing. -bera, scania and windia.

B> Fame 30k

Also, my dream to become a video game designer came from this game and one day I'll make something just as great as old maple for everyone to enjoy

I also miss making friends. You used to be able to start long conversations with almost anybody and train along the way. Now its just grind grind grind and nobody takes the time to appreciate friendships like in the good old days. Before Big Bang, i remember id go to all the mainstream training spots, party up and just hang out with peeps

Nexon really needs to watch this video and reflect on what theyve done LOL

Man, I remember when people made islanders who stayed on maple island and people who stayed beginners (A friend of mine stayed till level 50). People use to invent their own classes too and it was pretty interesting. Also, about the pqs, I think the most enjoyment was entering PQs because god, they were PACKED. Speaking of PQs, Araint PQ was the most hectic and fun PQ to enjoy, plus you get a sweet chair. And probably the one thing I miss the most was HENESYS HUNTING GROUND. It was awesome seeing all the level ranges get together in the area whether to make friends, level, and KS. I still have a photo of my group of friends that gave me a reason to keep playing, and boy, when maplestory really was "it's your story".

u made me cry dude fkin cry..was at 4th grade and playing assasin 1 month for 1-46 ludi pq fuck..it was 16% each pq I FKING MISS IT GIMME A HUG NOW

The thing i miss the most would be the fact that people were actually friendly also now though in Windia especiallly everyone is anti social and if you go on their map while they train they basically say "f*** off" or "you know there are other CCs?" i remember how before BB people welcomed others and decided to party it's kind of sad really you have to get lucky to find nice people sometimes in windia..lol

Bravo Bravo! One of the best maple videos I've ever seen. While I've not played since 2009 you speak from the heart of what has been missing from MMO gaming since the last, like, 6 years or even more.

The worst thing about Maple nowadays is how you can go from 1 to about 150 over a 2x weekend with little effort. It's all just a range contest nowadays man..

I remember when they introduced the "Jump Down" feature... Damn, I'm old.

Man, this made me tear up! Been a MS veteran since 2006 & having experienced this makes me happy, but the memories still remain!

monster carnival from 30-50 and 50 to 70

Dont forget bishops selling leeching for skellys in leafre

the thing i miss the most is the bosses, back in the day soloing zakum made you seem like a god, i remember dieing while trying to solo zakum for mastery books, the old days were fun

This just randomly popped up in my recommendation, and thank you for that! I played MS right from beta I believe. My very first MMORPG ever. SOOOO much memories come back after watching this video. Back then it took like 2 weeks to get to lvl 30 for 1st job change? The very first party quest at Kerning City, where people used to copy every single IGN that were queuing up for PQ. Then there were this command you can input in chat to TRACK where that player is. With the names copied, we can find who got into the PQ map and track their progress, once they were at the final stage, we would spam click NPC hoping to get in PQ with my party. Sounds annoying, but it was actually really fun. We all use the time waiting to get in PQ to socialize, and make real friends. Also anyone remember Pan Lid? The best shield for mages back in the days for a very long time. It was dropped by green mushroom if i remember correctly, but it was extremely rare, making pan lid one of the most expensive items in game at that time (if not the most expensive). My friend got 3 btw...from drops...and gave me one for free..so no complain xD I think all lvl 30+ equips were only available from drops, like zombie mushrooms. I remember farming the lvl 30+ mage hat and i was so happy when i got it. AHHH Great Times!!!

I started Maplestory back before the Big Bang update, and some of these I don't really agree with, but everyone has their own list. Here's my view/list of post and pre big bang likes and dislikes. 1) Old mushroom kingdom and Kerning Square. They were the bomb, and now they're revamped (kerning is gone). I miss the medal, the gloves, etc. I still hold on to the chars. who have them out of nostalgia. 2) I loved the easier leveling, but I wish that they would tone it back a bit. Pre-big bang, my highest characters were level 50-ish. Now, I can actually use 4th job skills and stuff. 3) The old maple island was fucking amazing. Remember Roger's Apple? Mai's Training? Those were the days. 4) I'm kinda on the fence about how Maple has super-flashy classes like Hayato. For me, they're fine, but for people with running Maple on Potato OS, it's annoying and laggy, even with graphics turned down. 5)People don't do secondary-stat less characters anymore? I still do that. Am I stupid? 6) The two things I don't remember are the NTS and Rolling for stats, but I was a bit of a latecomer in the Maple scene. 7) Honestly, I feel like maplestory has too many classes. Is it just me, or do I love making the explorers/cygnus knights because they branch out in so many diverse ways. 8) The game feels so lonely now. People only do RNJ, all the other PQs feel left out. A few still do LPQ, but it's rare. 9) I fucking love the Scarlion hat. FUCKING. LOVE. THE. SMILE. All in all, I feel like Maple has lost its charm, but maybe that's just us growing up. I started when I was 8 or so (Screw the E 10 and up!) and now I'm a teenager. But I feel like if all the changes were reverted, the charm wouldn't come back. The new maple is still good, and worth playing.

Last played maple on version 55.0 and joined during 1st anniversary. Returning to the game on version 175.1. I made a new character and got to triple digits. Never ever in my years of old maple story.

I was a beta player, and started in bellocan on December 6th 2006 the day that it came out. this video is so nostalgic and brings back so many great memories. thank you.

Same here man, I met a lot of good friends on maplestory. I would be so excited to log on okay with them, I met some good people years ago. I haven't talked to em for years but I hope they are doing well. It may be a virtual game world but I felt they were my friends. Cheers to you Galan hope your doing well.

Damn I resonated so much with this video. Maplestory was such a huge part of my life in '07 in my first year of college. Rolling that die for the perfect 12/5/4/4 stats on my Swordsman, scouting to keep our party's channel in the KPQ, getting a Zakum helmet being a pretty big deal, guild chat with cool bros just enjoying the grind like the rest of us (shout out to old Zeal in Windia) all that shit was amazing. Permabeginners were a thing with that sick Frozen tuna weapon that only they could wear.

I miss the original henesys hunting grounds 1...those 4 platforms going from snails, to slimes, to mushrooms, to green mushrooms. It was a representation of 4 different skill levels that all trained together on one map, good times. The way henesys looks now just isn't the same.

It genuinely hurts me to listen to this. Shoutout to Reveng Eternity Undie Patrol and all of the other big names back in the day.

going to pig beach at 15 😭 the feels.

damn i still could remember the time when we have to go orbis and we all have to go in a pack with a night lord.time where you go boss and we go in big groups, time we spent to level and it takes ages . i wish those old times was still around

Man you made me almost cry.. Yeah.. I really missed those good old days :(

It's pretty damn easy to level up in the early levels now, especially with burn characters

I started ms in 2005. I was in maple sea because I didn't know that there was several servers until I was region locked and found gms during its 1st year anniversary

Started playing Maple again little while ago and you mentioning HonorGuards really brought back great memories. I joined the HonorGuards in Broa shortly after it was created and became friends with the leader (can't remember his IGN, but I still remember his IRL name and that he was from Sweden). I remember doing a lot of quests, grinding and just chatting with the guild members and they even helped me get back on my feet after I got hacked. I wish I could go back to those days :(

Savage blow was and always will be the coolest attack animation in a game ever

Honestly, congratulations on the video. I'm an original ms player myself. Began in 06 I believe. Stopped playing after I had to move to Brazil and MS Global wasn't available for this area after that huge MS update that banned many players from other countries due to server capacity. My character still exists but I don't have access to it anymore "Braza4life" lvl 102 CB strong as hell. I remember my maple shield had 9 60% scrolls for att (extremely rare) scrolled it myself. I've downloaded ms again in the newest version and the game has changed completely. I don't think it will ever be the same as before.

I don't miss any of this shit lol, it was good for it's time, but I'd never go back to the inconveniences. Though, the only thing I did miss from this video was the bossing/pq bonding and friend making. That was good times. Also the boat rides, with everyone hiding inside from the Balrogs.

7:30 when the music hits, you instantly starts to miss your old maple friends, (i was in Mardia, guild Soapy if any1 remmebers)

The good old times. Remember the 3rd job advancement needing that dark crystal and knowing maplestory lure

He mentioned how the game used to be built to bring people together. The pq's, bossing, family system etc. all of that stuff was what made the game great. All of those things are what make all games great. I've noticed recently though that almost all games, not just maple, are moving away from that. Games these days are being made to be played more independently. Its harder to make new friends while playing. Anyways just something I was thinking about. Awesome video, I sure miss the pq's though. Maple is no fun without them

what i miss is the statisfaction of the hard work you had to do to even level up on this game, ive spend days at the newties map to get my ranger upto bowmaster from lvl 100 to 120 just shooting that one spawning newtie on the middle map, and those quests to finally get to bowmaster were so exciting i remembered having my heart beat a lot during

after this video, u make me reminds me of all of my old 2008 Maplestory adventures with friends… i really hope one day maple can become back to the way its suppose to be instead of just Nexon making money…

Oh man those old explorer skill animations. I always wanted to be a night lord cause they looked so cool but my friend had convinced me to be a bishop when I started out since we needed a healer and night lords were hard to fund. I appreciate what red did for explorers: it made them relevant and able to compete with the other classes, but I miss a lot of the old animations. The bishop rework specifically killed it for me, I switched to f/p soon after the open job advancement system came out (and I got a free coin). Not to mention that I, like every other bishop, miss genesis spam above all else. Night lord wasn't as bad for me. I miss the old animations since they were super cool, but at the same time I loooooove showdown (and shade splitter in 3rd job) so it makes up for it. I also miss Dragon Knight: that was my friend's class when he got me into the game and it looked so cool and I really enjoyed playing it (later, when levelling was easier post-bb, I didn't level anyone but my bishop for the most part before bb). Berzerker is pretty boring in comparison. On the same note, I also miss the skill books. I remember when I finally got to 4th job I needed angel ray, and someone I met sold it to me for really cheap cause I had some really valuable mastery books to trade as well. I didn't mind mastery books back then because they made you work for something. Now I feel like there is no reason for them to be there. You just work up enough meso and have to waste it on a book rather than other things to actually fund your character. Bosses are also lame since everyone just solos it. Hopefully reboot brings back big groups doing chaos zakum and stuff. I also look forward to finding a good guild full of people to do things like crimsonwood keep with. I love that pq, but it got really easy and a ton of people are honestly scumbags about it now, but hopefully in reboot more people will want to cooperate since we all suck now, and it will be fun again. Same goes for basically everything in the game. Hopefully the community will foster again. I pretty much just levelled to 4th job in reboot with a close friend of mine, and haven't payed much attention to guilds or other large groups of people yet. The importance of that kind of fell off about a year ago in other servers (at least for me, I never got much support from my guildies with the exception of a few friends I made) but hopefully this time it will be different. It would have been cool if they brought back the family system, though. I remember someone adopted me and through the family network I met a ton of people, and was super excited when I finally met the head of the family cause they were like the most respected person in the server because the family was so big. Sure it wasn't perfect, but neither is the new maple. Reboot won't be perfect, either, but I think it is a step in the right direction.

you said it man...mapler since 2004.. carnival was the best time of my life

Don't forget letting a friend new to maplestory jump into the golems just outside on Henesys!

i miss all all the PQ's where you had to travel to the actual town to do ( ex, lmpq/Lpq Orbis glitch pq) and i remember PQ's such as HPQ and KPQ where you had to send a scout and rush which was annoying but also fun. I also miss taking the ship to orbis and hiding from the rog so it doesn't kill me.

I remember doing 4th job quests on my bishop. Miss the old Genesis and selling farm. That was back when there were no priests bc they sucked to level up then 4th job and the floor of bishops came. Gen 30 was one of the most expensive skill books too. Chronos, coolies, and himes were the place to go to level a priest. Those were the good days

I remember dropping 200m on triple throw 10. Back when 200m was a lot and it was a major necessity

I find maple much better now than it ever was although there are a lot of things about old maple that made really good memories (Pvp and MC pq) But still! I love the game how it is now... (go away reboot!) hehe nice vid mang!:D

I remember the sheer excitement of finding my first evil wing and ilbis at Lycan and werewolf. I used to watch Ninjagaru an Tiger train just to learn how to use the skills. Lastly, ducking in and out of the ship from Orbis to Vic when Balrog was outside.

The updates to gameplay doesn't make me too sad because things can't stay the same forever the only thing that truly upsets me is how solo everything's become. After a few years I've become pretty knowledgable and have met some new players who I helped and became friends with but outside of newcomers a lot of the community seems like they want to ignore everyone else lol.

I kind of miss it, but I remember one thing that makes me not miss it at all. I remember my first two characters I got to 80. This was when it was really hard to level. I spent a week, a full week, training at mixed tokens when they were in Sleepywood. I trained there for hours and even bought a double exp coupon and concentrated for four hours to get as much exp as I could. All that for 10 levels. I don't miss that. That was too much of a pain. I just miss the connection part of the game.

i remember the boat to orbis as a low level hiding in the lower level because balrogs would attack the ship up top.

"What I Miss Most About the Old MapleStory!" Countinues to show post big bang footage...nice one dudee

I also remember before Big Bang I spent months training my Night Walker and it's like 1 level from 70. I was so excited to get 3rd job only to have Big Bang patch the next day and nobody showed up at CPQ(Carnival PQ) 2. I got 3rd job and I wanted to share the good news with my friends only to realize they out leveled me by 5 levels when they were 10 levels under me just yesterday. I was like wtf?

I first started when i was like 8 so like 9 years ago, and wow the game then was amazing, I remember my brothers mate able up his Esther shield so we went to Ludi and grinder on the monster that could drop the shield (forget the name) and I was too low of a level so I just sat on a safe spot talking with everyone for hours as our guild came together to help a friend out to get another esther shield, shit like this made the game amazing, so many memories

I miss the fact that it was easy for me and my friend to play together, there was never so much huge level difference! That monster carnival party at level 30, I spended so much time trying to get the spiegelman necklace!.. It took more over than a year to reach lvl 50 with my ice/lightning and I was so happy to hit that number. Today... well did level 100 in a day, I don't do pq anymore, my friend don't even try to play again...

I definitely miss the original Carnival PQ, being stuck at lvl 33 forever, playing with people I actually enjoyed playing with even if we sucked and I loved the Family part of the game. Unfortunately, I could never experience the good PQs because I sucked and couldn't level :''(. But I miss the old maple community and my old friends and now everyone is just for themselves which makes me sad even though it's still a good game. R.I.P. to the old maple but I guess everything has to change at one time or another.

Back when getting a Zakum helmet was somthing to be proud of

I remember going to aqua road to watch high levels grind it would inspire me to grind even more!

Love watching these videos when I miss maple , hopefully a classic like server comes out one day ! Great video keep it up!

I got the feels from this, thank you for taking your time to make this video :)

"Back in the day" followed by all these things that came out so many years after my nostalgia bombs. Ant tunnel 1, the addition of El Nath, NinjaGuru, being 'pro' if you could wear a cape, no purple crits (you had to guess if it was a crit!), level 1 haste for kerning PQ, strength bandits, rolling perfect stats, missing closed beta by a week... SinDits, nothing but adventurers.

I know this sounds weird but I think I miss the long journeys to get to places. now you just click a button and teleport anywhere, i think it really made the game interesting when you had to choose between whether you wanted to venture across the world or continue training. I think you just made more friends and it kept the game interesting.

Yo Sorrowfull thanks for helping me with Chaos Vellum, i even got screenshots of that day Lol. Years back

Thank you so much for making this video. I cried.

I believe the rewarding factor being absent is what drove many players away. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your hard work pay off. Like Bigfoot and HHM and the NLC prequests to get easy access to CWK skipping the jump quest of death. Or just starting a guild to make new connections. It's all dead. Just remembering getting the badge from Lawless Lita (I think that's her name) by getting the BF toe of HHM head. The elderwraiths that could 1 hit K.O. you by touch. I wish sometimes that the old bosses like Lady Boss in Showa would drop a unique equip. And Bigfoot gave much more EXP and required team effort. Maybe create more fun bosses for lower level charaters that require party of 3 or more like it used to. I tried to start an all adventurer's guild with everyone creating a new character and a minimal funding of 20mil and work our way up by merching and sharing loot. Wanted to recruit new players as well and help them out. No one was interested at all. I even tried to get some guildmates from a guild I joined to work together to complete the pink bean prequest. We could have finished the whole thing in like 1 hour or less with 5 people and a Kanna (which I had btw) and some drop gear for the masks but no volunteers. They all were too interested in daily bossing and racking up reward points rather than helping one another. I feel like I wanna quit now but I just love all my characters so much (even though they technically are not mine) and thinking about deleting a 10 year old character I worked so hard to level for years just makes me hesitate. I wish I can start over in a new world in hopes of making new buddies. My buddy list is full but no one logs on.

The one of the things i missed was the hidden areas. It was fun to search for them.

Man I used to play this game from 2004-2010... I remember the countless hours and summers I poured into this game and RL money too... God it was so awful but I was completely and totally addicted to it... eventually I stopped playing but man did it ruin stuff for me but it isn't Maple's fault it was my own for letting myself get that way and to be fair I did have a lot of good times in that game.

I remember buying power gloves and selling them for easy meso and training in that castle place it was crazy

I remember getting the Aran skill from the zakum i was so happy. then after 1 week the new update comes and you can get the skill without skill book. I quit but before 4 months i'm back my ign is iWasTheBest

Remember playing this 3rd grade miss these game soooooo much

what about back in the day when choosing a class actually mattered now it doesn't matter which class you choose because they're all a hybrid of every class out there, just with different animations

Lmao shoutout to the people who spent more than half their time on maple doing kerning pq and trying to jump from the middle sewage hole thing to the third one was the hardest thing ever LOL

The most impactful thing maplestory affected me was the music of the peacefulness boat ride! Good old days....

very nice video! I remember struggling to loot the items that high level players were dropping in henesys market haha

Is see sooo much about how much better the old days were. People used to make Private Servers to make things fun, now they make Private Servers to recreate the old (v83) Maple. I honestly think Nexon would do themselves a *Big* favour if they make the 2006 Maple come back. (Like as a seperate game or something, just like the PS' are rn). It still wouldn't be the same though, but imho already way better than nowadays Maple.

You know what I miss most about old MapleStory? Never getting enough pots to train. And Maple weapons being useful.

Yeah those where really good old time, the people summoning mobs infront of kerning pq there just to kill the newbs, the dexless sins running in the bathrobe you could get from sleepywood or the old ludi pq where you needed to have every class to actually complete the party quest, also seeing fangblade everyday on the ranking and the good ol' monster carnival

Late but here I am. I still miss maple.

I remember being a dexless nightwalker back in the good old days training on MP3s

I lost the info to my old utube but man I missed your videos

I was a high str lvl 8 magician struck in sleepywood.

Mrbabycakes? Damn I remember playing with that dude. What a small world huh.

Some things I miss about the old maplestory: Training at himes before 4th job came out, Being asked to Zakum and HT runs because I was a DK, Ludi pq.. ludi maze pq.. monster carnival.. etc. CWKPQ, ow my god.. that was SO much fun, but no1 bothers to do it nowadays. Training for days, weeks, MONTHS, to get higher up. I remember it took me almost a year to get from lvl 1-50 in the real early days. And something I miss the most... Hunting monster cards. I quit Global bcuz my account got hacked, and much later I started in europe. they dont have monster cards in europe :'( this makes me really sad.. WHAT DO YOU MISS??

Hearing the horn for the orbis boat...

Damn i miss the old days of maplestory. Anyone remember carnival pq grinding for hours and hours. Damn those were days! :D

Good quests? Lies! There were 2 glove attack scroll quests worth doing!

I’m glad s9meone brought this up

i remember when i used to make 10 attack work gloves and sell them for 5k per glove, i made tons of nx

I miss smuggling tickets for pq’s...

Hahaha i had a bishop and yes it was always required and usefull, nowadays they feel like one class not necessary at all :( so many good memories, Thanks for this Vid man "100" Those Jumpquests that if you were not good at it, it might take you Ages to complete, the jumpquest to train your cleric at the ghosts in Kerning city, the jump quest to get zakums shit to get the Pearl thing to summon it xD dam, all the reunions at perion, el nath, Ludi, leafre and then the FM before going to the Runs xD ohhh good old days xD

Gosh, I remember the KMS videos of multiple parties killing regular zakum.

I miss it too. but I still have fun on the new Maple.

still got that deputy star. Just keep it to remind me about the old days

Getting Ks'ed by sins in FoG

Yes me too..i so miss 2006 maplestory.

i miss old maple it was so much fun and more challenging. i rememebr when hiting 200 was something now it is nothing

i really miss lpq and lmpq made a lot of friends back in the day who i keep in contact somewhat also miss the whole not pay to win based system before the big bang patch

SHOUT OUTS TO MY PRE 2007 MAPLERS! nothing will change those online daysssss
