The demand is not there for an officially supported OSMS Server. Therefore the reasoning for Maple Worlds offsets development costs back onto the players. The return on investment for OSMS is also not really there at a base level, all the content is quite shallow. But you never know if the demand changes their mind.

I know right! To me this is also kinda crazy. But for now this is the best we are going to get I guess

Yeah, time will tell if the demand will grow or not. Lest hope for the best!

@MadrexusMaple in my opinion, though, current maplestory is booty cheeks. I wouldn't say that game has any depth either. I tune into streams every so often, and I see everyone just farming the same maps doing 69 lines of damage to 73 enemies at once, zooming around the map and then rinse and repeat. To each their own I guess.

@@andrew4787 Agree to disagree. The truth of the matter is the goalposts have just moved from the OSMS to current. The story content is a lot more fleshed out, many progression systems allow you to increase character power in many ways and interesting and unique boss design shows they have tried to innovate on the game over the years. I think comments like how you see people grinding the same maps are going to be true in a present day OSMS implementation, people have changed how we play games from back then, people dont want to be wasting their time. If it’s more efficient to be running Ludi PQ over grinding, you bet people will grind that PQ day and night. Now I’m not trying to convince you to play current day maple, I’m just saying they are essentially two different games at this point, complaints about levelling speed or big numbers don’t make sense, for the game to progress powercreep and progression changes more or less had to be introduced, its an MMORPG at the end of the day. The world was different back then and maple was really an interactive social hub, these days those interactions live on discord, youtube or other streaming platforms.

I think so as well!

it wont

@@TheOchocincoboiit’s already confirmed it’s coming… lmfao

@@AvocadoTheBugCat no it has not been confirmed. So you seriously believe we will all be playing old school maplestory in the year 2024? I pray to the high heavens that is the case but realistically they won’t give us that.

​@TheOchocincoboi nexon America apparently did purchase some sort of copy rights to this particular tool mentioned In this video. I would say it is coming since nexon America has already invested into it. As for its success, we will see. The company blizzard did the same thing NY releasing classic wow and it turned out to be a success. Until today classic wow Is very lively. I can see maple land also being successful. Of course it will not be more popular than the original MS but it definitely will be played by many.

Thanks :p, me too

Thanks a lot man! Hope to see you in maple worlds / maple lands :)

Right?! I thought so as well. lest I hope this stuff will be released soon here in the west :)

@@TheScrollguy Wait so... this isn't gonna be like an OSMS server? I didn't exactly understand

Awesome! Perhaps we could grind together! But it is a nexon release after all so we first have to wait and see what it will bring. But I'm still really hyped for this

I know there are no pirates in maple lands at the moment. They do have pq's and even Zakum. I'm not sure how maple lands is handeling updates and patches

@@TheScrollguy are they updating that thing?

I'm not disagreeing but from my perspective they need to do more than a few quality of life changes to make the game work along side live maple. Im talking things like: long travel times (Victoria to ludi etc), early iterations of predatory micro transactions(gach, HP washing etc), and slow exp rates/lack of guidance. I'm picturing that I just did many bosses, leveled MULTIPLE characters to 200 this event, make millions of mesos without spending money on NX, and I wonder if a old school maple server will really draw people away from the current game. Again not to be negative or a nay Sayers but the current patch and old-school are all but night and day different games. If the return of a classic server doesn't draw current players to it, and old school players (like me) are turning 30 it's not the biggest financial success to make a old school server if the current game is successful

@@mkwsoxfan you do realize in private servers they have already done this, and way more years ago...

@@TheWayManREAL I'm well aware, the reason nexon would partake or invest in this venture is to make money. Dividing the player base away from their main successful and profitable game is not the wisest business decision. They can't do something like this if a fraction of the players try it or sustain it, if it hurts their current business model it's a bad business decision, regardless of how bad you or I want a stable, reliable, and trustworthy old school server 🤷‍♂️

@@TheWayManREAL if what you mean is modify exp, drop, and change issues with the old school game that's certainly a decision they need to make. If it's too far from actual old school maple it won't be desirable for either demographic of players, if it's too close to the actual old game it's not as fun as people blinded by nostalgia are expecting it to be

It's still not 100% sure how things will turn out with maple worlds but we will just have to wait and see

Same here :)

Time will tell if it will be a hit or a miss

Thanks for your great comment! Sadly i don't have answers to all questions. I can't speak or understand Korean so I'm not sure what kind of update support maple lands gets in Korea. We will just have to wait and see what version of maple lands becomes the most popular here in the west once it comes out. All we can do now is just hope for the best and make our voices heard

@@TheScrollguy They are keep getting updated with new maps and seasonal events.

maplelegends sucks and its not the server itself but the gms too, there's a lot of ms players that don't play on legends but would play on an official nexon server

A very good question, I'm not sure how it works at the moment to be honest. When the game comes to the west we will find out I guess

@@TheScrollguy I seen another dude post a video of a private server and how they deal with the nx shop. Apparently nx can be found within the game via killing bosses and special events. So basically the entire game is free to play. Keep in mind that way back in the days nx had very little impact towards a players growth and performance. Nx would mostly be used for cosmetic reasons. Its not like nowadays where players can become very powerful by spending nx to buy cubes and such stuff. Would be cool if this maple land functions in a similar way where players can earn nx. This game was sure fun when money wasn't a big factor when it came to player progression

As far as I know it's completely free in south Korea at the moment. So I think it will also be free when it comes out in the west

That's great. But you're clearly in the minority

It's definitely not for everyone indeed, but I think there are still a lot of people who do enjoy the old school experience

Yep, I think there are still a lot of veteran players who would love to play old school maple

Because you didn't grow up with it, trying it these years will indeed be boring because things are different nowadays, but back then, there used to be so many players the game would crash in the first servers in towns, 7 year olds scaming each other for some mesos, competing against friends who's higher level, finding out secret things, rare drops to sell others that garentee you potions for a long while was huge, everything was hard, looting every coin of mesos manually, grinding to death, trying your beat to look the coolest in front of the hundreds of players you meet every day, this was the life

Yeah, it must be so boring not to run a hyper burning character and hit 4th job in 3 minutes. Instant gratification ruined this game.
