the iconic moment i had even if small was reallizing that spearman doesnt get a free weapon i cant use my skills (doesnt have enough money to buy one i think the only available spear was the fishing spear back then this was around the time of maplestory red) makes a spearman during awake event hmmm amma buy a spear just incase beomes spearman and yep still no free spear, fighters do get a sword and pages can use their skills with swords altho i think they get a mace as well
I actually really loved the time spent in Henesys because everyone is just grinding and having fun, chatting etc. Now before I can blink, I’m level 150 and have barely talked to 3 people total lol
I really do miss the og PQs. I also remember taking that scroll to showa accidentally and being there forever until I barely managed out, then using a return to nearby town scroll thinking i was out to only go back in... rip
Seeing the clip of scrolls in the FM reminded me of farming glove for attack scrolls from that one quest in New Leaf City over and over and over again... I'm having war flashbacks Those things sold for so much though, I would feel so rich haha
Maintenance was a pest you lost your grinding time but got stuff from the update true from playing Maplestory so much and being on so long and being in a guild with friends , you had good FM spots to sell stuff at and make Mesos for your guild and make it bigger!
omg I did that quest and I got that ugly ass monkey haircut! 😭 I was stuck with it for months until I got a VIP haircut coupon from some event and changed it to something cooler
For a player that started in 2005 and played till 2012. The nostalgia hits me so hard. Life really was care free back then when I was a child. Even if they would re-release classic maple it wouldn’t be the same. The innocence is long gone and everything has been explored.
I know what you mean. The biggest part of it all was the community. I was lucky to find some maplers that were fun to talk to, were the same age as me and we just a blast to be around. I guess it would be creepy now to make friends with 12 years olds as an adult LOL
I agree and disagree. Yes we're all older and the awe and wonder of a open world map is not that big of a deal to us anymore. However early maplestory had a great thing going for it and that was the community. The community was there because the game didn't spoil you. There was no cubes, no 2x exp, or anything like it. The game was fair. You could buy some shop items and get a very limited amount of cosmetic items but everyone was on the same level. People actually crafted items and sold them. The games that come out now just monetize everything. There is no sense of community. Remember Heneseys and Period in classic MapleStory? It was packed. Now? Dead practically everywhere you go.
This is the response I was looking for because the majority are kids born in 2010 being nostalgic over something they never experienced. It's alright to be nostalgic but then again we're all grown ups now those that put in the work back in the day. We're already grown adults married with kids. Too much responsibility in the real world to go back and re-enjoy what was fun when you were kids with no life responsibilities, it's just isn't the same anymore.
@@Downassfoo_1996 yeah I started to play in 2008 from ages 12-15 so stopped in 2011. Got to experience pre big bang which was fun. I'm 27 and my days of gaming or long gone but will always be a part of me.
@@johannpack2343 omg I TOTALLY forgot about that meso trading site... I was such an fm whore for a few yrs and lived on that and in the fm haha It all started with Jr. Sakura cellions... Training on them with my sin from about lv30 for the pretty good xp and great mesos. I remember buying a 6atk wg with the money from there and literally bought 7, 8, 9, and 10 atk wg by trading in my current wg + mesos lol. This eventually led to my obsession with making mesos :D
I guess they were nicer overall back then, but man.. i remember having some serious beef with some players back in 05-06. Back then most of the high lvl players on Scania knew eachother. I remember there being KS wars, flaming and all sorts of harassment. My parents didn't care about me playing all day, so i grinded all day and got to lvl 70 before third job in late 05. I have this memory of getting KS'd by an Assassin and a cleric at Red Drakes to the point where my 13 year old dumbass-self started crying irl, lmao.

the saddest part is nobody will ever experience video games the way we did back then ever again. Cause now it's impossible to play a game without seeing a guide , lets play , walkthrough , wiki page , datamine , etc. for any game. Back in our days video games actually had to be explored and experienced , now most people go into games already knowing half of what to expect and do.
True, but the magic of games is still there when you consciously choose not to look anything up. This year I played Valheim with my cousins and honestly in 80 hour run together I think there are at least 3 moments I'll never forget. The magic of discovery and community is still there, but just harder to find
Necro post but it's mostly the fact that our only way of communicating back then was freaking AIM or MSN both Not the best for social interaction. So Maplestory, runescape, and WoW were the first real virtual chat rooms c:
The flashbacks... The ship to this day is the worst. I have never played a game that takes your money to travel just to kill you.. And all the players were fine with it
tbf you could just stay in the inside of the ship to avoid them completely. Though it was really satisfying when you got strong enough to be a part of the party that could save the ship from the CRogs. Early on you really did feel like a hero for doing that. ..Nowadays you'd be able to solo them after like an hour of playing. ._.
I remember having trouble just downloading the game on Windows XP. Deleting and downloading again which took hours.... gosh. Then, when it finally worked, hearing that maplestory login music was all worth it 😎
I remember being a popular Kerning PQ leader because I was a very fast clicker (Clicking and spamming enter was the most efficient method), it even beats out the "fallen angel autoclicker" that I had. That feeling when your screen turns black (from entering the PQ) knowing you beat 3 other parties out there was great. Also, your party members would be so proud of me. Good times.
This brought me waaay back! Would spend ALL day on maple story. Its crazy how much the game changed after big bang! I was a god at drop game HAHA. I remember getting scammed in DG all the time by auto looters!!! SMH
I think bigbang was good. It brought a bit more color to the game. I think everthing changed to bad after chaos. the exp system with big bang was great. I also dont like the system that it is so important to create multiple characters. in the past every one had 1 main character
This video almost made me cry. It took me back to when I was young and innocent, skipping school to try to get panlid. It was when I was hanging out with all my friends, chasing middle school crushes, my parents were young and healthy, and i had no worries in the world... Now, I have to act like a grown up, watch my parents grow old and frail, deal with all the bs in life, and have to constantly worry about responsibilities, keeping on top of things like bills even though I'm still a kid inside.
I'm so glad drop game got a shoutout. I really spent way too much time in the henesey pot shop trying to get valuable items from other players.. it was really like a little casino world. People would show up wearing the most rare and expensive equips and go back and forth gambling their items (back in the day that was like different colored bandanas and work gloves, raccoon mask, and goofy things like a christmas tree branch, pico hammer, tuna fish, surfboards, or little 1h sword flags) . It was so fun. It was so nice and interesting to have this unintended outlet in the game, something that the freedom of the design allowed for this game within a game to be created by the players. I think selling things in the free market with all of the @ signs was another classic for sure. And you would sometimes have two different texts one that had a few more @'s at the end or another symbol so you could quickly spam the text by switching back and forth but not being interrupted by the game telling you to quit spamming lol... it was just so cool how organic everything felt. I read another commenters mention of walking around in the game and how just the quiet adventure, getting from point A to point B made the game so immersive and mesmerizing. I also think there was a collective understanding at the time, that to have anything in maplestory you had to work for it. Yes people were generous and kind, and you had to depend on others for pq's, but if you didnt work you would have nothing.. I think that there was a lot more camaraderie in struggling together to thrive in a beautiful and quirky but dangerous world, that was many times out to kill you.
What I remember: 1. The dreaded Iron pig at Pig beach... 2. everyone used to share maps and ksing was kind of allowed 3. My stacks of paper with igns for PQ tracking.
@@nvhieu97 Yeah, whenever I log in to Maplestory nowadays I barely can't find anyone else. Before there used to be full of people in FM and in Henesys but now everyone's just minding their own business.
For me the nostalgia is high level chars showing off at henesys hunting ground 1. And constantly restarting because you love kpq and high level chars took too much money to make
@@o2Tenka Yea u kinda right i played like 2 years ago on a 1x/1x/1x pserver and made some good friends there. But i think if they would release a Nostalgic server many would play. And by any chance if u see this simon, hi :)
It always makes me feel bittersweet when I stumble across maple story videos on UA-cam. The friends you made, the late night conversations, the Party quests and constant social interaction. This game made you look forward to playing constantly. You would look forward to it everyday. This community was so so fun and welcoming and friendly. Now we’re all grown adults working and barely have time to game. The maple story world we all love and miss exists only in our memories now. What an amazing time we had! I wonder if there’ll be something like this for my kids in the future.
I can't believe I remember all that, It's really been a long time... Also, making my first warrior and adding INT to it so it wasn't stupid, good ol'times.
I feel like out of all the things that really show what's changed in the last decade, the fact that a MMO could have a "political" event and not be absolutely trashed is right up there.
Man started playing maple in summer going to 6th grade now I’m 30. Watching this reminds me from middle school to 10th grade was the most carefree my life had ever been. Playing this for hours and hours, made friends and learned how to type lol. I had a great childhood I’ll never forget. Thank u maplestory.
I actually jumped back on Maple just to get hit with constant nostalgia, sadly to see all the map layouts and everything we knew and loved is completely fucked and streamlined. No more super hard to reach dead-ends. Every major town is completely changed, and the travel in between. This completely ruined the game what were they thinking? Why couldn't they just leave it the original state it was long ago?! The long roads of travel were just so mesmerizing. SO many memories of quiet diligent travel made it great for me
Briefly touched on, but all the cool random equips like the independence hat, the maplehontas, the pilgrim hat, the various flags, were pretty iconic. Also (after pirates were introduced) but the one random not a shed but like a wooden platform that was where the entrance to the fm is now, it was like too high for anyone to jump to but with the pirates float/glide ability or mages tp you could get on top of. And then it was literally a drop game where you had no chance of getting things lol
anybody remember the glitch where you jump off the ladder inside the cabin to skip the portal that leads to the lower observation deck of the orbis ship?
I remember Perion ch. 1 as the original free market where everyone had to spam with @@@. When you were level 50+ you got to wear napoleon cape that made you look badass. Level 60 and up were pretty much Gods back then. Sleepywood dungeon was the highest training spot, and then Ossyria came out. ~2004 MapleStory Tespia server
I remember going to Orbis on my warrior or bandit (I can't remember what I played at that time, only that I was under leveled) at level 30 or 35 dying repeatedly to Jr Lioners, got frustrated and switched back to Cleric lol PQs were fun and meant something, I will miss that but I will not miss the waiting and channel hopping 20 times over to get in xD Most memorable moment for me was using a bunch of summon sacks in KPQ area and seeing all those tombstones fall from the sky =D
The ship to el nath, I remember I quit forever and than came back and like 1 hit the Rog I was very happy than very disappointed. Also there was pre FM where perion was the buying and selling place.
I just can't think of anything else. WHenever I think of maple, I can only remember party quest. I have made way more friends in Ludi PQ than I made in any guild. Srsly, I even found people from my country there (At that time there was only global MS and korean I believe)
Being a level 60 Assassin and using DS and masterful dodgeing to make it to the lobby at the bottom of Ludibrium, past the Gatekeeper/Thanos just to chill and chat with top-100 ranked players.
I used to be a PQ smuggler. I smuggled Ludi tickets and Orbis clouds. It was fairly easy to get into a PQ because I could do it efficiently. I remember as soon and I hit lvl60 I went and grinded out OPQ. Made it to level 70 in no time and my guildies and friends thought I was a hacker. I miss PQ's.
Kinda sux knowing we won't be able to re-live these memories again, even if nexon were to release an actual nostalgia server most people wouldn't stay because of current maple and how everything changed. Also, most people that played old maple have grown up and won't have time to grind as much as we did back then :l
Can we start a petition to come out with MapleStory 2006 again? I miss the difficulty in Leveling. It took 2 years to make 1B mesos and get to 132 arch mage. Now i can sign in and in a weeks time have a 4th job.
I remember maplestory would notify you to log off from the game because of maintenance and if you didn’t, you’ll experience rollback where what you’ve done for the past few hours prior to the maintenance will be lost haha.
I remember one of my best memories on MS was when I was level 23 mage and an ironpig had spawned near me and I got stuck on a rope for almost 20min but this random lvl 41 Sin saved me and he helped me get back to town I still remember his name till this day mind you it’s been over 15yrs, thank you Ravestarr
So many fond memories! Orbis ride chatting or balrog, pig beach with friends for hours, free market. I miss it all but miss the friendships formed the most. Great times!
So many good memories of this game Making friends in party quests, joining new guilds, getting told to cc by that one guy who said he'd get his bishop main and wasn't joking
Great video!! Love the edits too. Maple was so social back then which made it so fun and everyone was on very similar levels for the most part, unlike today where people are much less reliant on playing with others and peoples ranges are just ridiculous I still remember one time I did drop game with 1 guy in a random fm room on ch17 or something and it was just us 2 and I dropped my maple claw and he used the vac hack to steal it :( I was so sad lol. And man, it's so nostalgic watching that sin throwing steelys lol. I remember getting my first set of tobis and I was soo happy xd
i remember that moment when i got stuck in sleepywood,, i have given up on leaving,, and created new Character x D,,, its too bad that the game is so easy and soloable,, when we will get our true classic server,,, cant wait, even though no way nexon will do that,,,
This video brought back sooo many memories! I remember the struggle of getting to level 30, having a friend help me with my second job advancement, and all the times I was actually scared of going somewhere without a party. I remember seeing people level 40+ and calling them "Pros". it took me over a year to reach level 70, and going back to Henesys and dressing as a "noob" and having so much fun dropping mesos, and playing with so many great people. To me, after the "Big Bang" maplestory was kinda ruined. it took me a long time to get used to it. What hurts the most, is that Maplestory took the adventure out of the game, and the partying just to go to a new map. People would feel rewarded and a sense of pride for reaching level 30. I miss the old days lol. :) -Airdude2 (Hermit before Big Bang)
I remember crying to my cousin after I lost my Maple Hellslayer to a drop game and trading them 20m for them to give it back (20m was a ton of money back then)
Didnt watch the video yet but one of the most iconic moments for me was taking the ship to orbis and having the crimson balrog come. Man I died so many times Edit: glad to see this was added to the list!
Definitely doing Cory's quests for steaks and U.S hat. Also, the day pirate came, and when Cygnus Knights came and maxed at lvl 120 - finally the game was possible to beat. Eventually, my Night Walker couldn't beat Manon and I gave up. NLC's scarecrows and ghosts was crazy to train at, but mostly PQs😍 (Henesys, KC, Ludi, and of course Monster Carnaval)
*posts a comment on a youtube video after a long time saying how your vids make me feel nostalgic* COPPERSAN COPPERSAN-SAN COPPERSAN.... "well here we got Maplestory's most iconic moments!!!" xD beautiful, thank you for that! :3
man i was like 7-11y/o during the prime of maple n there was nothing like it, the massive world populated with thousands of little characters, my child brain was addicted. it was truly like a world, you had to walk everywhere, pay to ride taxis, buy tickets and wait with a big group of people for the boat/subway, and everyone was social and always interacting with each other. this game during its prime was one of the best online games ever imo lol
>Rides boat to Orbis AFK *Slap bass has entered the chat* Funny how the first time I hear a slap bass sound, it was sending chills and straight fear down my spine. As it should 🤣🤣
I remember so many hackers. Especially in sleepyhollow where one stood still and attack everything in the area. Then after a minute it sucks all loot to the person... grrrr. Reported so many, probably none of them got banned.
All of these almost makes me cry xD Got stuck in sleepy - check, Killing eggs and cakes - check, Fastest pq clicker - check, Killing myself over and over so i could remain in CPQ range to get that neckless- check, Getting killed or playing omok all boat ride - check. So much good times
On the first times there was the turkey monster event, you could get acutally a NX turkey pet as a drop, super rare! Won't forget that my neighbor got one and I couldn't loot it. It was so long ago no one remember it ever dropped.
when the game wasn't pay 300000$ to win(ptsd from those horrible scrolls and all the crap they added since chaos scrolls and beyond)....when the game wasn't holding ppl hand...Papa Pixie 1 shotting anyone without a Dragon Knight in their group....2 hit ko from Alishar made him a fairly challenging boss when he would lock up the healing or apply blind....henesys hunting ground hanging spot....kpq fighting to get in the pq....Magatia pq when ppl would type out the numbers that they got on specific floor like 32413442 which meant floor 1 if said player had the third platform then it meant its a port back down for everyone else..floor 2 second platform would be wrong for the rest of the group....floor 3 would have fourth platform wrong for the rest of the group....so RIP communication..........the harsh lvling....with that said i would not have mind a 20% exp needed reduction for each character on the account that reached that threshold to be alts friendly....but i cant accept how easy they made it for main character.....when dmg output wasn't as stupid as it is today(absurdly big numbers)..........the biggest and fondness memories were Guild PQ vs Ergoth(1 hour long fight againts him).....simple puzzle....jump quests(i loved JQ yes...i know lots of ppl hated it though)....but i also rarely fell off so that was in my skill league XD...why they had to kill GPQ is beyond me....it also was the only guild content in the game.............................returning to the game is a no go for me unless all of these occur....classic maps(b4 black mage introduction)....inventory slots 100+ on all chars with stackable items....Assassin Stars stackable to 10000 otherwise rip inventory....1 freeby 50 Dex Robe for lvl 20-120 use only(i had a 45 b4 i quit but just for heck of it make it 50)......Cash items cost 95% cheaper than b4(ya i dont rly want to fork over ton of $ again)...at least any old item should get a 95% cost reduction...new ones should cost from 0.30 cent to 3$...camo 1-3$....scroll protection 60-80 cent(since likely mass bought i think it would be much fairer price)....10%....30% and 60% scroll should go up to 40% 75% 90%.....Chaos Scroll should go from 10% to 40% AND alway highroll.....other scrap that got introduce beyond that should go away...bring back meaning to GPQ by removing books from mobs that initialy didn't have it on GPQ release.....at the very least keep the highly sought books a GPQ only thing(2 books per spec).....Gachapon should give 12X more items since lots of it is bunch of scrap.............. well its not gonna occur outside private server....and reboot was a faillure(lots of things done wrong)
Watching this I realized I kind of hate that the game has largely moved away from its roots and has more or less adapted into a pretty generic (albeit decently made 2D) mmo. Back then it wasn't just about grinding and bossing. Exploring was a huge part of the game. When you met someone on the journey you usually became friends decently quickly after being lost for 30+ minutes together. PQ also gave the game much more of a community feel than a solo game. Now, they only conversation is "cc plz".
Omg thanks for that - this was my "WoW" back then and I always love to get bacl to the good old times, where I almost failed school due to heavy mapling. Also this game introduced to me voice chat and internet buddies. So many great memories.
Iconic memory? Well lagging of course because I was playing from another country in what Maplestory was called Global. But I enjoyed every moment of my time there. Especially using the Airship for transportation and talking to friendly people (then dying to Balrogs).
Everyone knows the most iconic memory of MapleStory is "maintenance has been extended" and "unscheduled maintenance"
When does the maintenance begin? When the maintenance ends.
@@coppersan for Maplesea, it’s rollback and mediocre compensation.
Double maintenance time
Also from maplesea, a patch or maintenance that ended on time often means many glitches. Resulting in an urgent maintenance.
2X Compensation
the iconic moment i had even if small was reallizing that spearman doesnt get a free weapon i cant use my skills (doesnt have enough money to buy one i think the only available spear was the fishing spear back then this was around the time of maplestory red) makes a spearman during awake event hmmm amma buy a spear just incase beomes spearman and yep still no free spear, fighters do get a sword and pages can use their skills with swords altho i think they get a mace as well

Strategy guides were always a thing and there was also gamefaqs since 1995 (Known as Video Game FAQ archive at the time). But I do get your point.
Necro post but it's mostly the fact that our only way of communicating back then was freaking AIM or MSN both Not the best for social interaction. So Maplestory, runescape, and WoW were the first real virtual chat rooms c:
The flashbacks... The ship to this day is the worst. I have never played a game that takes your money to travel just to kill you.. And all the players were fine with it
tbf you could just stay in the inside of the ship to avoid them completely. Though it was really satisfying when you got strong enough to be a part of the party that could save the ship from the CRogs. Early on you really did feel like a hero for doing that.
..Nowadays you'd be able to solo them after like an hour of playing. ._.
Lmfao word!!
I remember having trouble just downloading the game on Windows XP.
Deleting and downloading again which took hours.... gosh. Then, when it finally worked, hearing that maplestory login music was all worth it 😎
I want this game, and more importantly the people playing it, back once more.
Come to Maple Legends
We will most likely never get a game like this in our lifetime again.. (hi to all my early gen MS adopters worldwide...) Hope I am wrong!
I remember being a popular Kerning PQ leader because I was a very fast clicker (Clicking and spamming enter was the most efficient method), it even beats out the "fallen angel autoclicker" that I had.
That feeling when your screen turns black (from entering the PQ) knowing you beat 3 other parties out there was great. Also, your party members would be so proud of me. Good times.
This brought me waaay back! Would spend ALL day on maple story. Its crazy how much the game changed after big bang! I was a god at drop game HAHA. I remember getting scammed in DG all the time by auto looters!!! SMH
I think bigbang was good. It brought a bit more color to the game. I think everthing changed to bad after chaos. the exp system with big bang was great. I also dont like the system that it is so important to create multiple characters. in the past every one had 1 main character
I remember losing a 3m meso Christmas Tree spear to a vaccuum hacker in a drop game :(
This video almost made me cry. It took me back to when I was young and innocent, skipping school to try to get panlid. It was when I was hanging out with all my friends, chasing middle school crushes, my parents were young and healthy, and i had no worries in the world...
Now, I have to act like a grown up, watch my parents grow old and frail, deal with all the bs in life, and have to constantly worry about responsibilities, keeping on top of things like bills even though I'm still a kid inside.
Damn man that was so real and well put. Could not relate more. You’re not alone 🙏💙
People getting married and Amoria PQ for Onyx Apples was a big part of my Maplestory adventure as well ^__^
The ring effects with the doves and hearts beating on your chest
When advancing to 3rd job as an explorer requires an expensive dark stone and vast knowledge to answer the hard questions LOL 😂😂
Quit it bro it’s too real 😂
This was before 3rd job was a thing. I saw a bandit savage blow a balrog to death! Made one myself right after and its still my main to this day.
I'm so glad drop game got a shoutout. I really spent way too much time in the henesey pot shop trying to get valuable items from other players.. it was really like a little casino world. People would show up wearing the most rare and expensive equips and go back and forth gambling their items (back in the day that was like different colored bandanas and work gloves, raccoon mask, and goofy things like a christmas tree branch, pico hammer, tuna fish, surfboards, or little 1h sword flags) . It was so fun. It was so nice and interesting to have this unintended outlet in the game, something that the freedom of the design allowed for this game within a game to be created by the players. I think selling things in the free market with all of the @ signs was another classic for sure. And you would sometimes have two different texts one that had a few more @'s at the end or another symbol so you could quickly spam the text by switching back and forth but not being interrupted by the game telling you to quit spamming lol... it was just so cool how organic everything felt. I read another commenters mention of walking around in the game and how just the quiet adventure, getting from point A to point B made the game so immersive and mesmerizing. I also think there was a collective understanding at the time, that to have anything in maplestory you had to work for it. Yes people were generous and kind, and you had to depend on others for pq's, but if you didnt work you would have nothing.. I think that there was a lot more camaraderie in struggling together to thrive in a beautiful and quirky but dangerous world, that was many times out to kill you.
What I remember: 1. The dreaded Iron pig at Pig beach... 2. everyone used to share maps and ksing was kind of allowed 3. My stacks of paper with igns for PQ tracking.
J> PQ 25+ have stage 3 track.
This video hits hard man...I miss those days soo much. Now I’m all grown and shit.
Same :( all grown and barely have time for games. I miss the community in maple story it was so social and fun. Nothing like it anymore
@@nvhieu97 Yeah, whenever I log in to Maplestory nowadays I barely can't find anyone else. Before there used to be full of people in FM and in Henesys but now everyone's just minding their own business.
For me the nostalgia is high level chars showing off at henesys hunting ground 1. And constantly restarting because you love kpq and high level chars took too much money to make
The mages and snail combo
i used to farm mano's to perpetually stay in henesys as a snail
brooo hahaha
I miss old ms ...
same I wish they brought back old MS to play
If Nexon wasn’t dumb they would copy WoW and RuneScape with their successful classic and oldschool server...
You don't miss old MS, you miss the community, and so do I.
@@o2Tenka Yea u kinda right i played like 2 years ago on a 1x/1x/1x pserver and made some good friends there. But i think if they would release a Nostalgic server many would play.
And by any chance if u see this simon, hi :)
@@o2Tenka I'd mostly agree with that. Old MS is even more grind-y than the current version yet the community was so amazing.
Never forget pig beach. Favorite map.
It always makes me feel bittersweet when I stumble across maple story videos on UA-cam. The friends you made, the late night conversations, the Party quests and constant social interaction. This game made you look forward to playing constantly. You would look forward to it everyday. This community was so so fun and welcoming and friendly. Now we’re all grown adults working and barely have time to game. The maple story world we all love and miss exists only in our memories now. What an amazing time we had! I wonder if there’ll be something like this for my kids in the future.
I can't believe I remember all that, It's really been a long time... Also, making my first warrior and adding INT to it so it wasn't stupid, good ol'times.
I think we can all agree that there was nothing worse than being teleported to the omega sector, because you don't read the dialogue.
Please don't stop doing maplestory content! ❤️❤️❤️
Remember the 2012 election event? That's never gonna happen again
LOL THE DEMOCRATS VS REPUBLICANS ONE
I feel like out of all the things that really show what's changed in the last decade, the fact that a MMO could have a "political" event and not be absolutely trashed is right up there.
Man started playing maple in summer going to 6th grade now I’m 30. Watching this reminds me from middle school to 10th grade was the most carefree my life had ever been. Playing this for hours and hours, made friends and learned how to type lol. I had a great childhood I’ll never forget. Thank u maplestory.
I actually jumped back on Maple just to get hit with constant nostalgia, sadly to see all the map layouts and everything we knew and loved is completely fucked and streamlined. No more super hard to reach dead-ends. Every major town is completely changed, and the travel in between. This completely ruined the game what were they thinking? Why couldn't they just leave it the original state it was long ago?! The long roads of travel were just so mesmerizing. SO many memories of quiet diligent travel made it great for me
Desperately catching your flight at orbis was genuinely my favorite thing. I hate fast travel.
Masteria JumpQuest (totem 1 hit), Magic Seeds (Ellinia to Leafre), Halloween Event Rings (1+ Str/Dex/Luk/Int), independece day hat, pilgrim hat, pumkin basket (2006), Amoria (BGM/ Suits and Dress/ APQ/ OnyxApples), 1 Meso Shop, mystery Mastery books, Gen20 prices, LHC training, Pirate class release, Ariant,
Netts Pyramid PQ, PVP, and much more!
Briefly touched on, but all the cool random equips like the independence hat, the maplehontas, the pilgrim hat, the various flags, were pretty iconic. Also (after pirates were introduced) but the one random not a shed but like a wooden platform that was where the entrance to the fm is now, it was like too high for anyone to jump to but with the pirates float/glide ability or mages tp you could get on top of. And then it was literally a drop game where you had no chance of getting things lol
I haven’t logged on in about 10 years but still have a mule account with probably 12 independence hats 😂😂😂
Tiger or fangblade being number 1 on rankings, o the good old days and ofcourse orbis or ludi pq.
anybody remember the glitch where you jump off the ladder inside the cabin to skip the portal that leads to the lower observation deck of the orbis ship?
Are we not gonna talk about Pig Beach and the Iron boar, or Bigfoot leech?
I remember Perion ch. 1 as the original free market where everyone had to spam with @@@. When you were level 50+ you got to wear napoleon cape that made you look badass. Level 60 and up were pretty much Gods back then. Sleepywood dungeon was the highest training spot, and then Ossyria came out. ~2004 MapleStory Tespia server
Dude, the Perion market spam! You just dredged up an absolutely ancient memory for me, lol.
@@brianbethea3069 Only true old school players will understand :)
Ahhh yes ... joining a party then suddenly needed to "sit on a chair to heal ... for 30mins"
Maplestory really needs to bring back some of these event. They were fun and everyone would get together and do them with random people
Chilling in Mayas house and see all the mages on the left side grass through teleport.
I remember going to Orbis on my warrior or bandit (I can't remember what I played at that time, only that I was under leveled) at level 30 or 35 dying repeatedly to Jr Lioners, got frustrated and switched back to Cleric lol
PQs were fun and meant something, I will miss that but I will not miss the waiting and channel hopping 20 times over to get in xD
Most memorable moment for me was using a bunch of summon sacks in KPQ area and seeing all those tombstones fall from the sky =D
The ship to el nath, I remember I quit forever and than came back and like 1 hit the Rog I was very happy than very disappointed. Also there was pre FM where perion was the buying and selling place.
I just can't think of anything else.
WHenever I think of maple, I can only remember party quest.
I have made way more friends in Ludi PQ than I made in any guild. Srsly, I even found people from my country there (At that time there was only global MS and korean I believe)
Being a level 60 Assassin and using DS and masterful dodgeing to make it to the lobby at the bottom of Ludibrium, past the Gatekeeper/Thanos just to chill and chat with top-100 ranked players.
im sobbing this is such a throwback
loved it back then when there were so few effects that you could actually SEE characters and things in the maps
I used to be a PQ smuggler. I smuggled Ludi tickets and Orbis clouds. It was fairly easy to get into a PQ because I could do it efficiently. I remember as soon and I hit lvl60 I went and grinded out OPQ. Made it to level 70 in no time and my guildies and friends thought I was a hacker. I miss PQ's.
I remember smuggling a LOT for I forget which PQ it was but it was the one with rice cakes. Man I had fucking stacks of those things lol.
This vid made me smile from ear to ear. :)
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT 6:06 LMFAOOOOO
Kinda sux knowing we won't be able to re-live these memories again, even if nexon were to release an actual nostalgia server most people wouldn't stay because of current maple and how everything changed. Also, most people that played old maple have grown up and won't have time to grind as much as we did back then :l
Can we start a petition to come out with MapleStory 2006 again? I miss the difficulty in Leveling. It took 2 years to make 1B mesos and get to 132 arch mage. Now i can sign in and in a weeks time have a 4th job.
I remember maplestory would notify you to log off from the game because of maintenance and if you didn’t, you’ll experience rollback where what you’ve done for the past few hours prior to the maintenance will be lost haha.
I remember one of my best memories on MS was when I was level 23 mage and an ironpig had spawned near me and I got stuck on a rope for almost 20min but this random lvl 41 Sin saved me and he helped me get back to town I still remember his name till this day mind you it’s been over 15yrs, thank you Ravestarr
So many fond memories! Orbis ride chatting or balrog, pig beach with friends for hours, free market. I miss it all but miss the friendships formed the most. Great times!
So many good memories of this game
Making friends in party quests, joining new guilds, getting told to cc by that one guy who said he'd get his bishop main and wasn't joking
who ever had zakum was pro at some point....I swear i am not crying just my eyes sweating
Great video!! Love the edits too. Maple was so social back then which made it so fun and everyone was on very similar levels for the most part, unlike today where people are much less reliant on playing with others and peoples ranges are just ridiculous
I still remember one time I did drop game with 1 guy in a random fm room on ch17 or something and it was just us 2 and I dropped my maple claw and he used the vac hack to steal it :( I was so sad lol. And man, it's so nostalgic watching that sin throwing steelys lol. I remember getting my first set of tobis and I was soo happy xd
The Ellinia protest for the release of Orbis. GMs got fed up and spawned jr balrogs and junk. Lmao
Ahah the i/l being rejected because its not a cleric for LPQ. Totally me 😢. I made a sindit knowing Lucky7 would get me into parties 😂
That was my favorite part of being a Clerk. I was super popular;-)
i remember that moment when i got stuck in sleepywood,, i have given up on leaving,, and created new Character x D,,,
its too bad that the game is so easy and soloable,,
when we will get our true classic server,,, cant wait, even though no way nexon will do that,,,
This video brought back sooo many memories!
I remember the struggle of getting to level 30, having a friend help me with my second job advancement, and all the times I was actually scared of going somewhere without a party. I remember seeing people level 40+ and calling them "Pros". it took me over a year to reach level 70, and going back to Henesys and dressing as a "noob" and having so much fun dropping mesos, and playing with so many great people.
To me, after the "Big Bang" maplestory was kinda ruined. it took me a long time to get used to it.
What hurts the most, is that Maplestory took the adventure out of the game, and the partying just to go to a new map. People would feel rewarded and a sense of pride for reaching level 30.
I miss the old days lol. :)
-Airdude2 (Hermit before Big Bang)
come join maplelegends!
I remember crying to my cousin after I lost my Maple Hellslayer to a drop game and trading them 20m for them to give it back (20m was a ton of money back then)
Didnt watch the video yet but one of the most iconic moments for me was taking the ship to orbis and having the crimson balrog come. Man I died so many times
Edit: glad to see this was added to the list!
This game was way too unforgiving for misleveling a skill or ability point back in the day
I miss MS pre big bang 🥺i would totally play again as an adult
Come join maplelegends!
I just wanna be a kid again :(
Hearing that happyville bgm gave me goosebumps 🥲
Definitely doing Cory's quests for steaks and U.S hat.
Also, the day pirate came, and when Cygnus Knights came and maxed at lvl 120 - finally the game was possible to beat.
Eventually, my Night Walker couldn't beat Manon and I gave up.
NLC's scarecrows and ghosts was crazy to train at, but mostly PQs😍
(Henesys, KC, Ludi, and of course Monster Carnaval)
Omg This is the best time of my life with my friends 🔝🤩....I love maplestory
*posts a comment on a youtube video after a long time saying how your vids make me feel nostalgic*
COPPERSAN COPPERSAN-SAN COPPERSAN.... "well here we got Maplestory's most iconic moments!!!" xD
beautiful, thank you for that! :3
Anytime! ^^
So many videos recently, thank you so much!! 😍
The most nostalgic thing for me is Avenger, I'm still bitter they removed it
When party play was real. And so did classes.
Did anyone actually kill the balrogs? What did they drop ?
I remember things differently! :o Most I can remember is the Fraps and Unregistered Hypercam watermark being in MapleStory videos ^^;;
man i was like 7-11y/o during the prime of maple n there was nothing like it, the massive world populated with thousands of little characters, my child brain was addicted. it was truly like a world, you had to walk everywhere, pay to ride taxis, buy tickets and wait with a big group of people for the boat/subway, and everyone was social and always interacting with each other. this game during its prime was one of the best online games ever imo lol
>Rides boat to Orbis AFK
*Slap bass has entered the chat*
Funny how the first time I hear a slap bass sound, it was sending chills and straight fear down my spine. As it should 🤣🤣
The drop games on the ship during to/from Orbis & Ludi were the most intense bar none
I remember so many hackers. Especially in sleepyhollow where one stood still and attack everything in the area. Then after a minute it sucks all loot to the person... grrrr. Reported so many, probably none of them got banned.
Maple was a nice party game and now become solo game
I'll always remember KS wars in the Forest of Golems. That was probably one of my favorite maps in the game.
If only they would remaster the game
Bro, go play maplelegends
remaster looking at closed down maplestory 2 not like that i hope
All of these almost makes me cry xD
Got stuck in sleepy - check, Killing eggs and cakes - check, Fastest pq clicker - check, Killing myself over and over so i could remain in CPQ range to get that neckless- check, Getting killed or playing omok all boat ride - check. So much good times
Hahahaha I can't remember how many characters I had trapped on Omega Sector
Thank you for helping keep this game alive
On the first times there was the turkey monster event, you could get acutally a NX turkey pet as a drop, super rare! Won't forget that my neighbor got one and I couldn't loot it.
It was so long ago no one remember it ever dropped.
I remember watching you growing up coppersan. Is it worth coming back to the game casually?
when the game wasn't pay 300000$ to win(ptsd from those horrible scrolls and all the crap they added since chaos scrolls and beyond)....when the game wasn't holding ppl hand...Papa Pixie 1 shotting anyone without a Dragon Knight in their group....2 hit ko from Alishar made him a fairly challenging boss when he would lock up the healing or apply blind....henesys hunting ground hanging spot....kpq fighting to get in the pq....Magatia pq when ppl would type out the numbers that they got on specific floor like 32413442 which meant floor 1 if said player had the third platform then it meant its a port back down for everyone else..floor 2 second platform would be wrong for the rest of the group....floor 3 would have fourth platform wrong for the rest of the group....so RIP communication..........the harsh lvling....with that said i would not have mind a 20% exp needed reduction for each character on the account that reached that threshold to be alts friendly....but i cant accept how easy they made it for main character.....when dmg output wasn't as stupid as it is today(absurdly big numbers)..........the biggest and fondness memories were Guild PQ vs Ergoth(1 hour long fight againts him).....simple puzzle....jump quests(i loved JQ yes...i know lots of ppl hated it though)....but i also rarely fell off so that was in my skill league XD...why they had to kill GPQ is beyond me....it also was the only guild content in the game.............................returning to the game is a no go for me unless all of these occur....classic maps(b4 black mage introduction)....inventory slots 100+ on all chars with stackable items....Assassin Stars stackable to 10000 otherwise rip inventory....1 freeby 50 Dex Robe for lvl 20-120 use only(i had a 45 b4 i quit but just for heck of it make it 50)......Cash items cost 95% cheaper than b4(ya i dont rly want to fork over ton of $ again)...at least any old item should get a 95% cost reduction...new ones should cost from 0.30 cent to 3$...camo 1-3$....scroll protection 60-80 cent(since likely mass bought i think it would be much fairer price)....10%....30% and 60% scroll should go up to 40% 75% 90%.....Chaos Scroll should go from 10% to 40% AND alway highroll.....other scrap that got introduce beyond that should go away...bring back meaning to GPQ by removing books from mobs that initialy didn't have it on GPQ release.....at the very least keep the highly sought books a GPQ only thing(2 books per spec).....Gachapon should give 12X more items since lots of it is bunch of scrap.............. well its not gonna occur outside private server....and reboot was a faillure(lots of things done wrong)
Man your videos always bring me back to a special time in my life. Thanks for continuing to make these videos man.
Watching this I realized I kind of hate that the game has largely moved away from its roots and has more or less adapted into a pretty generic (albeit decently made 2D) mmo. Back then it wasn't just about grinding and bossing. Exploring was a huge part of the game. When you met someone on the journey you usually became friends decently quickly after being lost for 30+ minutes together. PQ also gave the game much more of a community feel than a solo game. Now, they only conversation is "cc plz".
Omg thanks for that - this was my "WoW" back then and I always love to get bacl to the good old times, where I almost failed school due to heavy mapling. Also this game introduced to me voice chat and internet buddies. So many great memories.
Iconic memory? Well lagging of course because I was playing from another country in what Maplestory was called Global. But I enjoyed every moment of my time there. Especially using the Airship for transportation and talking to friendly people (then dying to Balrogs).
