Well you deserve the shiny Gold metal that says "Troll" on it good job. You're the one that will start the flame. Not this thread.

i've got to level 20 like 3 times... and played on a low rate private server to like level 100.
there is nothing to do except grind.
Maplestory is like the complete opposite of UO, a game where there is tons of features and no one main thing to do. Whereas maplestory, the only thing and one main thing to do is to level up. Everything in the game basically is grinding. With friends and PQ it's somewhat fun, but the majority of what you'll be doing if you play it is killing thousands upon thousands of the same monster over and over and over... AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.
Community.. Mmm.. Well let's just say you don't need it all that much, and because you don't need it people are often douchebags.
Features.. Take a stick or any other shiny looking weapons and smack some stuff. If it dies, repeat.
Althought I must say, when it comes to shiny mindless easy to play grinders, I rather like MS... With better exp/drop rates, that is.
Well ya you played on a private server there
is bound to be immature 10 year olds =/
I've played the MS since Beta and I quit the real game like 2 years ago or so.
MS isn't worth my Time anymore -_-
10 year olds couldn't figure out how to get on a private server...
and all Mr.Black does is try to start flames and trolls whenever he posts it seems
its an ok game. can get very addictive at times.
but the cashshop is ewww. way too much for stuff imo.
This is true, on the official server, I was often prompted to "CC" on every channel and when having not done so, ks'd until logging off, also +hackers +botters on every channel. The other places I've played it have been ALOT more regulated due to lower player base, and the players generally want to play the game (grind grind grind grind) and not be too stupid.
Sorry to say this, but excluding PK servers (my opinion, because some of them are just damn fun)
anyone who plays private servers for any game is just a lazy ****-up
who probably looks for the easy way out in all aspects of life, not just gaming.
You're getting laggy servers, shittier content, corrupt children "working" as staff members,
and any time you put into it is going to get thrown away anyway
when the server either gets shut down (by the rightful owners/publishers of the game)
or crumbles on its own.
I'm curious; what do you consider a "low-rate" server, bonneau_14?
25X EXP? lol.

thats the most simplistic way i can put it.
jesus? such a need to spaz over a shitty game? anger managment might be something for you to invest in.
Anger management?
A friendly discussion on illegal private gaming servers through a chat forum
seems like a perfectly safe and healthy way to express anger.
I guess you must've realized how pathetic your argument actually is.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have resorted to such random insults...
The game is not really worth it seeing how there is not much endgame content and once you the max level whats there to do?
it's just kinda stupid how you think everyone who plays a private server looks for shortcuts in life... why waste so much time dealing with a shitty community when you can get to the end-game content quickly enough that you don't get incredibly bored killing 12,000 slimes to level up and can talk to people with an IQ over 70.
sure.. i played on a private server... doesn't mena i go and do this:
Me " oh cool, a promotion... i bet i can get another one if i find a short cut..."
me "yah... i can go kill Jimbob and take his position instead of working for it because i'm a lazy **** up."
thats how stupid your statement sounded.
Sorry, but the games are ****ing free, people.
I can even see why you'd play a private server for WoW or RO or some other P2P game,
but, seriously...
...playing on a private server for a free game just so you can progress through the game faster is ****ed up.
It's like using a GameShark or Action Replay or whatever to beat a console game.
It's cool/funny for a minute, but not very rewarding...
They aren't stealing money because private servers can't have subscription fees. They are supported by donations from players and the staff make $0.00.
Well they are supposed too, and they get shut down if the official owners find out they are making money. Blizzard knows about WoW private servers and they have a term of agreement.
Maplestory is free anyways, so they aren't losing money either.
I basically have the same opinions on pirating...
...if you don't have that money to buy a certain product (video/game/music/etc.), that sucks,
but that doesn't mean you should steal it.
Pretty much the only stuff that I "pirate" isn't available to buy in America.
Back to Maple Story...
Maple Story has a ****ing huge Cash Shop.
The character customization that it offers is, like... limitless.
And a lot of work has been put into it, too.
So, when people play on the private servers...
Nexon is losing potential customers that may have used the Cash Shop... and many do.
As for the private servers not making money, you have no idea...
Lots of people donate to get free shit on private servers.
It's insane.
You're still a hypocrite >_>.
There are private servers for games that aren't available in their countries, or are too laggy to play in.
GunZ private server?
This thread has officially become stupid.
/leaves
The game is fun at level 30+ but then at level 71 most people quit unless they hack or seriously love the game.
maple story FTW
not:D
I like Maple Story. :3
Anyone would play Ijji I could easily just borrow my friends lvl 50 account to play and avoid the grind. Which is basically the same as going to a private server and grinding to lvl 50 in a day? Same results maybe different items but I doubt that is the reason people go to Private servers. Would that make me a Lazy? Probably but no one wants to grind to play a game where PvP is the fun.
I wonder sometimes if you guys actually sit back and really think about what you say.
You know the really interesting thing? When you look back the majority of the posts you see people arguing not over if maplestory is a good or bad game, but rather the exp rates for the game and playing it on private servers with better communities (which really shouldn't be the way you review a game btw). If the game is really as bad as you say it is then why play the game at all? if the game is so unbearable, why do you complain about the grind then go play in a private server?
What some of you are saying and doing do not follow logic. What a number of you and others have basically said is that "I hate maple story because I don't like how long it takes for me to level and the people I play with so I go play maplestory (the game I just said I hate) with people I like and so I can level faster. Does that make sense?
It's like I said the majority of problems people have with the game is 1) the exp rates and 2) the community. me personally, I don't play games to be a certian level and I have a tight knit of friends I play games with or I solo so exp rates and communities don't phase me but...if you really hate a game, why play it at all?
let me use an example so you can really see what you guys are doing. It's like this people:
Someone asks you "do you like posting at onrpg.com?" and you reply "no I hate posting at onrpg because the free mmorpg community sucks, it takes a long time to reach that onrpg elite member status so people will respect me (yeah right), and the posts really are not filled with much content because the users act like little kids who constantly flame me for sharing my opinion. I only post in the general section because it's easier to get my post count up without having problems with people all the time and I can enjoy discuss topics I like with people I like."
What you fail to notice is that you don't hate everything about the forums at onrpg, you just hate a portion of it which is understandable. But you don't hate the whole thing, because if it really bothered you so much you would not post at the forum, period. See what I'm trying to say?
*There may be some very annoying people and some really dumb things said here but overall this place is not a bad way to kill some time especially if you have time to waste posting in a forum in the first place. Even more so considering the multitudes of forums there are on the net. * That's all I'm saying.
*This was a parallelism to MapleStory.
I like Maple Story whether or not you all do, that doesnt concern me one bit. You all can go play S4, Rohan, WoKF, Sotnw, or whatever. No one flames you or anything of the sort for playing whatever you do. I see no reason to pick people who play maple story to flame.
GG
Could it be that you don't hate a game, but you hate PLAYING the game because the community is shit or the exp makes you do the same action 50,000 times before anything changes?
game = fun. game without fun = not a very good game!
online game = game + community = fun. online game = game + horrible community = not a very good online game!
Some people have different ideas of what a bad community is, some people enjoy being a piece of the bad community, either way, that's the logic.
Shhh. LaTale is out now
