    Default MapleStory: Is it Worth a Second Look?

    I know that there is currently a maplestory forum and I apollogize for not using it, but it is completely dead.

    These are just a couple questions I have regarding the new maple.

    1. Is it honestly worth trying again after 4 years?
    2. Did all the new class adjustments improve the game?
    3. And ofcourse, If I don't spend a dime on this game can I still go oldschool loot-farmer and still have fun in the process?

    I loved what it was and only quit because I got impatient with the fact that at the time there were too many people for too few events.

    I just need one person to say that it's worth a second look and why if possible.

    you said you haven't played it in a few years right? i played again last year, and the game has changed immensely!
    now they have 4 different Types of characters,
    Explorers : the original 4 + pirate
    Knights of Cygnas : only go up to 120, and almost the same as the explorers
    Aran Knights : a warrior type, with a combo type attack
    Evan knights : a mage type character (i dont know much about them)
    Some sort of mixed classes ( like a blitz archer, mechanic, dual blader)
    I dont know how these classes are balanced wise since i have not played since they came out.
    With each of these they actually added new areas, and changed a lot of the existing ones.
    i mean if you are still into 2d side scrollers you won't really find a better one (my personal opinion)

    Just check launch as administrator and try every single option in compatibility. But I think it was Windows XP SP3/SP2/SP1

    This game shows how corrupt nexon is.. buying a company just to rip off other game graphics so that it could earn some more cash. 33:3

    The more it updates, the more it kills the mood though i welcome balance patches and skill changes but i liked the grindy days more

    Maple works with W7 now. There's really not much you need to do to make it work.


    Also, too many changes, including how you train/kill/grind with mobs, but I've played the game for so long I don't want to bother with it. I quit fyi.

    Tbh, you just picked the wrong legends class. Mercedes and Demon Slayer are incredibly easy to level, require no books up until 120+ (where all classes need em anyway to level skills beyond 10) and are really fun with their mobility.

    You could have totally givin an example of a better game..

    Btw, tried the fix with admin and s1/2/ and 3.. even tried downloading the thing from microsoft that supposedly fixes it if everything else failed.

    I'll just take this as a sign to move on to something different. Now if only I could find something that isn't outdated/over-simplified or about to come out with a newer improved version (Gunz and Conquer) Than I would be just fine.

    It's one of the first things you turn off when you get a new computer or stuff. It's the most useless piece of shit that just bothers PC users.
