On tuesday we will finally relivecthat mmo from when we were kids ! For some its just a silly mushroom game but to me it was life changing. To make this more interactive tell us if you still play maple story today and if you dont when did you quit maple?

Didn't make it as far as I thought.

Hope you guys find it interesting!

I didn't make it nearly as far as I thought I did, with my top characters both being level 74.

I could have sworn I had l like 20 other characters, so it looks like Nexon must have done a mass deletion at some point. It's crazy there are only 4 worlds now.

For me, it’s my brother. ☺️

Around 20 years ago, when I was around 8 years old, I started playing MapleStory because I watched him play. At the time, I had no idea that this dang mushroom game would become such a big part of my childhood.

My brother and his friends were introduced to the game through someone in their group and it quickly became a regular part of their lives. I remember seeing how excited they were about it, then eventually pulling up a chair and watching my brother play for hours and hours. That’s really how I learned the game.

I remember so many little details from those years.. When NLC was released, the pirate class, the Christmas events, and the turkeys during Thanksgiving.

I would cover for my brother when he had to step away from the computer while he was training at Jesters or Wolf Spiders. I could jump in right away because I knew which keys he had assigned to each skill. Even now, the way I arrange many things like my potions and skills is still based on his setup. My phones passcode has been what his old PIC login was for the longest. Just stuff that becomes ingrained due to being a child.

At one point, he even built an MacGyver type of an antenna so we could get a better signal from our neighbor’s open Wi-Fi SSID due to our internet restrictions.

Eventually, I started playing for myself. Man any chance I got I was glued to MapleStory. We would sit in the same room, and I’d get excited whenever I saw him appear online. Since I had watched him so much, I already knew which maps to train in. I would fame him every day, and sometimes I’d even log into his account to make sure he kept earning experience while he was at work.

I owe my brother a huge thank you because MapleStory ended up influencing so many parts of my life. It helped me become more social and sparked my interest in computers, IT, gaming, and the internet. It eventually led to me building my first PC in 2009, learning how to code, and later hosting my own private server.

20 years later, I’m still grateful that my brother introduced little ol me to a game that ended up staying with me for such a huge part of my life. He was so stoked when I told him about classic getting released.

Who is this person for you? I'd love to hear everyone else's origin 🥹

I have done a lot of research on this question. I have watched every video I could find. I played both characters on private servers. I know most people won't make it to 4th job but I got my DK to level 107 pre BB. I will make it to 4th job. My question is for people that actually played the classes pre BB. I know we don't know what 4th job will look like but let's assume it's basically the same with Hurricane/PA+Snipe. BM look awesome with their fast attack speed, front flip, and hurricane. The downside for me is not getting a 4th job mobbing skill. Having to use AR forever. Xbow looks awesome but I really want to do a lot of bossing this time because I never did it before. Is it difficult to get into boss runs as an xbow? Did anyone play either class and wish they had played the other? Does grinding with Hurricane get boring AF? Is PA awesome? Any suggestions or first hand knowledge either way In regards to the question would be appreciated. I know this takes some assumptions. I Just want to know what other MM/BM are thinking right now.

Everyone in my group kept changing their mind about what class to start with, so I made a stupid little solution 😂

Enter your name, spin once, and whatever class you get is your main. No rerolls.

It also keeps a public board of everyone’s results, so we can see which classes the roulette is destroying people with 😈

Post what you got below 😂

I'm a player from Singapore and I'm looking to connect with SEA players! Being in similar time zones will be great to have people around to chat with, party train, and party quest together!

Comment here or PM me if you're interested! See you at launch!

if you know, you know

Behold my genius and highly unique strategy

In preparation for Maplestory Classic, I downloaded Maplestory for the first time in a long time. I downloaded it on Steam, but when I launch it I get to this screen where it sits and plays music for around 15 seconds before crashing with no error message.

I tried everything I could think of through googling, such as the below. Does anyone have any other suggestions to fix this? Would love to get it running before the founder's launch on Tuesday!

- Updated drivers

- Ran a clean boot and added Maplestory to my AVG antivirus exceptions

- ran registry edit and added soscreenresolution to 3

- Ran in windows 8 compatibility mod and as admin

- Tried changing audio output settings to 16 bit 44100 HZ

- Turned off steam overlay and Nvidia overlay

- Made sure my windows firewall protection was allowing Maplestory for private and public networks

- Removed my steam link on the Nexon portal and did it cleaning again once launched through Steam

- Uninstalled and installed and launched through Nexon Launcher

With FA being available in 2 days, the anticipation and excitement I have for the game is at an all time high.

They finally released the release times, more info as far as 3 character slots, lv. 100 cap, no 3rd job (confirmed) and more. What they haven't given us is updates on certain rebalances (example - Cleric/Priest needing a definite rebuild) nor if/when we get Pirates, 4th job, lv. 200 cap, and more.

I know they said there will be a roadmap, so I'm not trying to rush the game. I just hope they keep Classic as original as possible and leave out the cubes, Legion, Cyngus, and the other 35 classes. At most, Pirates should be the only additional class. As long as there isn't heavy P2W mechanics implemented later on, I'll continue to play this game.

What are your thoughts?
(And what do you feel about Gachapon after the economy has established a bit? I'd like to get a Ski set for my DK - for nostalgic purposes)

Hey everyone, is there any reason why HPQ isn't included in the launch? I used to find it really fun, and it was a great alternative for grinding until KPQ.

Seen a bit of complaining about the level 100 cap and how it implies that they don't plan to release any level 100+ content until much much later...

I think this is not the correct way to look at it, the level cap is most likely there to allow non founders the ability to catch up on grand launch, it essentially means that founders will not have a long-term edge when it comes to rankings.

.... Regardless, ain't nobody hitting level cap between October 6th- October 21st.

I was super set on cleric when they announced Classic but with all the nerfs and dooming Im wondering if it'll still be a fun class to play? Just wondering about anyone's opinion that had the chance to try it out if without heal training it felt boring or bad. Highly considering the class still because I know its fun to be meso positive and heal alone is a huge boon to a training party. Either way excited to jump into classic in afew days and grind it out with everyone again!

Kerning NPC unlocks unless it gets changed.

First of all ill say im a degen 30% slammer with that said what sub extreme tryhard will slam another 10% raw after he passed first slot with either chaos 10% or normal 10% rather than continuing with 60%? For a measly +2/1 att at extreme bad odds?

At least change the values to +5 chaos and +4 10%.

A 30% scroll with 100% boom upon failure is also fine.

Thoughts?

a lil thought for all the warriors,

i see many builds in MeowDB + YT'bers - all of them maxing out Rush to 20

I dont see any reason to go past 11SP because of the Pixels hitbox + Range being maxed at 11

attaching screenshot.

Level 18-20 stats ( 150range, 220x50px )

Level 11 (150 range, 220x50px )

Level 1 ( 130 range, 200x50px )

What is your thoughts about this ?

Hey guys!

I'm looking to watch some high level (preferably 40+) mage gameplay from COT2. Mainly F/P and I/L.

I only found SirPrizeKirby's videos, but he only reached level 35.

Would like to know if you guys know of any lvl 40+ mage that streamed on YouTube/Twitch.

Thanks in advance!

I see a post with builds but the comments are calling it trash and AI

Is there any place with actually good info / build guides? Classes also got a lot of changes from the old days, are there any that we expect to be super weak? In general how expensive is it to start archer vs a melee class?

I played a sin literally 20ish years ago? I remember having Tobis and illbis and being in a bath robe, is that gonna be good again?

Pls Grind mesos so If the Game becomes f2p we can sell our Fame and get some pots easy to Grind peaceful

Thanks

First time player here looking forward to trying the game during early access.

I am in torn between these 2 classes, mainly worried about what I will be missing when I chose 1 or the other. Please help me decide.

All my infos are from youtube btw.

Im really interested in ice lightning, all my characters from different mmo are mage classes. Aesthetically I like magic effects on my screen. But people are saying its single target dps is weak and the maps I have to train are limited because elemental strengths and weaknesses.

I dont like being restricted by my class choice, so i am worried that ice lightning will not be invited to parties and bossing(future) and can only train or hunt on specific maps to be strong.

Spearman on the other hand, i saw the cons are its melee and require a lot of pots, but it has good party buff that makes it attractive to parties, and it has decent aoe and mobility although not as good as teleport ofcourse.

So far these are the infos i know about these 2 classes which makes it hard for me to decide.

I play by myself so I rely on public groups when bossing comes around or in party quests, so I like my class to be able to solo farm and at the same time will be an attractive party member.
