there is nothing to do except grind.
Reputation: 10Maplestory 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 =/
Reputation: 94I'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![]()
Reputation: 10110 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.
Reputation: 10This 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.
Reputation: 101Anger 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...
Reputation: 60The game is not really worth it seeing how there is not much endgame content and once you the max level whats there to do?
Reputation: 101it'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...
Reputation: 10They 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.

There are private servers for games that aren't available in their countries, or are too laggy to play in.
