Yup! Maple OSMS just makes modern Maple feel like a job or relationship you have to keep up in your life. OSMS feels like a hobby you can sink your time into without any need to do dailies/weeklies. Just do what you want when you log in.
@@MapleBinch yeah exactly! the only thing making me log into the game is my desire to play the game. i stopped playing gms a while ago after i reached my goals and it's nice to be free from fomo
Gonna be honest, I was an Artale doomer day 1 and 2 saying the QoL changes and 2x XP were bad, calling the game an unfaithful flash game and saying it's a waste of time if everyone's going to switch to Mapleland anyways. Sunday I stared at my computer in boredom and realized all of that stuff is irrelevant and if I have fun playing the game then I have fun playing the game. I logged in, made my assassin and for the past 3 days I've come home from work and played non-stop into the late evening and I'm having more fun playing than I've ever had on GMS or any game I can remember in the past few years. The only thing I regret now is taking the launch so cynically and wishing I just hopped in and played instantly with everyone else. Awesome to see you're back and posting some videos!
Oh yeah baby!! I love that story. Same here--haven't stopped playing... sure, it's not a true OG server, but it's exactly what we needed! Enjoy! What class are you playing?
Yeah, I love it!! I'm 100% in it for the nostalgia... I just want a good gaming experience, and this is giving it to me. Are you ever going to play it?
I just started last night! It was really refreshing feeling like I can take my time and enjoy the ride. Got my warrior to level 20 on her road to be a fighter 😊
i honestly prefer osms with QoL changes. i hope they continuing implementing QoL based on community needs and not be afraid to experiment with creating original content that would fit the osms vibe
I’m really happy with Artale so far. It’s been really fun reliving the nostalgia training on maps I used to as a kid and having the knowledge I didn’t back then to be more efficient. I also like the QoL with 2x exp especially with how slow it can still feel to level and as a sin not having to worry about recharging my throwing stars/getting multiple sets. I also like the auction house, I have fond memories of chilling in the free market trying to buy and sell stuff but I really don’t want to deal with that anymore, I remembered when playing other mmos back in the day being like damn why doesn’t maplestory have an auction house.
I totally agree with you! I think a lot of people "want" an exact old school server, but they'd soon realize that it'd just be too annoying to deal with the old school mechanics like the clunky free market. I'm glad Artale showed us what a good old school server can be like!
So dope to see your return for Artale. Would be awesome to see you give a refresher on gearing our characters - everyone knows 60% ATT = bussy but the value in like cape, shoe, earring scrolls make some unique routes. Headed to Masks @ lvl 36 now 💪
Quests not only give decent exp, they align with the common grinding areas you listed. I even got a couple scrolls i was able to sell at the auction and had a cool 400k by level 30. Also fame and potions! Pqs give some scrolls and equips too like slime shoes as well
I don't really understand the MapleLands vs Artale debate, imo at least original maplestory was way too slow, it's one of those thing people THINK they want, until they get it and then they play for a bit and end up quitting, which just to be clear, I'm gonna play MapleLands for as long as I feel like it, but I feel like Artale will be better if the quality is the same which I read people saying Artale is clunkier. I also was wondering about updates since both games have been out in KR for a while now, did they ever get things like new areas, new classes etc, or even new content that wasn't ever part of original maplestory?
I agree with you. I'm loving Artale QoL so much that I don't think I'll switch to MapleLand permanently (at least that's what I think right now). But I don't think the servers ever got "new" content that wasn't a part of OG MapleStory, other than Auction House.
It's a limitation of Worlds. If Nexon optimizes MapleStory World's in the coming years better then maybe we can see this change, but who knows how likely or possible that is.
^ This. Also, I think it's a blessing in disguise... when we were kids, we were dumb and didn't know how to grind efficiently. But now these adults are taking over maps completely. It'd be tough to train for us if the channels were condensed. Also, despite only having 50 people in a channel, I still see people chatting in the all chat which is nice :)
@@MapleBinch I agree, I've had no trouble finding people to party and chat with regardless. I also think channel changing taking longer has had the unintended effect of people being more likely to party instead of cc'ing (Edit: nah people are still channel hogs once partying starts becoming suboptimal until priests get HS) to find an empty channel because of how long it takes lol So no complaints from me in that regard, grinding is more fun with other people.
i never experienced a osms experience: i joined maplestory when reboot first released so i was very unfamiliar on why its so beloved. i’m 30 hours in; i get it now. the fact each bit of meso is precious, every item is considered and worth getting: you have a reason to walk and explore maps. i’m glad they implemented such QoL changes because i don’t think i would’ve enjoyed the gameplay as much in a pure vanilla state: but like its genuinely fun. i love and appreciate modern maplestory’s flashy skills and beautiful art: but the simplicity of osms is just better in terms of gameplay. maybe its power creep?? maybe power creep is a problem and most items in the modern game aren’t useful anymore.
Definitely agree with you! I love the gameplay of old school because of those reasons... feeling the value of every meso is especially important! And the QoL is the cherry on the cake. This server truly shows that you can have a slow-paced MMO that feels challenging, but still has smooth QoL!
I wouldn't say the best classes are so cut and dry in Artale considering the class changes, currently a Crossbowman sits at the 2nd highest level player in the server. Probably would've been worth mentioning in the video instead of just going over what's typically the best in vanilla oldschool, but otherwise very helpful!
True!! I guess I don't know enough about the class changes to truly give a top 3, but this list would do well for most old school servers that may come out in the future.
@@MapleBinch That’s great and all but I’ve played almost every popular MMO along with p servers over the past two decades. From Runescape, WoW, MS, Endless, etc etc. The hate for Nexon is justified as it for blizzard, jagex, is it for ubisoft as it is for any developer ever. The fact remains that only Nexon can do it right and ensure it will last. Also being official it would actually have a real player base not just artificially inflated by adhd nostalgia addicts who want more than temporary 2x exp boosts so they can max level in a few weeks and beg for content because they don’t understand what moderation is. OSMS has way more content than people give it credit for and the stupid mechanics all 300 people complain about on forums today could easily be fixed. Not only easily fixed but at the very least anecdotally, those issues only effected the small percentage of players capable of making it to end game. I spent countless hours on Ms getting almost all explorer classes to 40-88. The so called bad mechanics only affect a small percentage of actual players.
Artale is better if u want to play as assassin/hermit/nightlord, the quality of life stuff, especially the annoying and inconvenient summoning rocks, is so nice.
I stopped playing after advancing to a Spearman. If they fixed the jank UI and updated all the mobs to be accurate, alongside allowing more than one character, I would stay, but i'm just gonna wait till MapleLand gets their global release. (Also wish Worlds supported Linux, so I would not need to switch between that and Windows...I'm just not a fan of Microsoft nowadays lol)
Ngl I wanted so bad to like artale but the channel system is so jank it’s crazy. Trying to play with friends seems impossible when every channel is full on top of switching channels taking a god damn millienia 💀 literally any old school private server provides a much smoother experience with the only downside being player numbers
@@MapleBinch there’s 4 of us so it has been a lil frustrating trying to pq with each other. With the way it is rn it feels almost like a solo game at times but hoping these are just early kinks that’ll be worked out eventually 😭

except ur friends leaving you behind by leveling faster than u T_T

50 person a channel needs to be bumped up heavily . It impacts the aliveness feeling not seeing anyone

Do you have a full training guide from 40+ on? Great videos thank you for this.
I don't, but I can consider making one :) I stayed at Rocky/Wooden Masks until I reached level 44 though.
@@MapleBinch thanks I'm currently. 43 fp mage and not sure where I should go after the mask at 44/45
@@760viater Have you looked into Jr. Wraiths? Haven't been there, but heard good things because they drop some nice loot.
Is the assassin qol change also the same with bowman? I can just shoot arrows point blank?
Yes :) any ranged class operates like that... so that also includes Gunslinger!
I have connectivity issues. I have fibre optic.
I honestly haven't dug deep into my issue though
Sorry to hear that. Are you in a region that Maple Worlds is available?
I just want an official old school maple. Maybe one from 3rd anniversary GMS event or something.
Would be nice... but I kind of like that we have private developers instead of Nexon running the server :)

Artale is better if u want to play as assassin/hermit/nightlord, the quality of life stuff, especially the annoying and inconvenient summoning rocks, is so nice.
And also the 2x exp is nice cuz assassin’s have the worst AoE mobbing capabilities so u need that double exp
If u want to play any other class it might be better to play on maplelands when that drops
Definitely agree with you!! Are you an Assassin as well?
Yeha
This aged terribly 😂
Can't do 3rd job advance :c Gimme the info Jose
It's out now!!
play artale now then if you move to maple lands youll have fresh knowledge of the game to make leveling in lands easier
Very true! It'll make you more competitive for the fresh start if you're going for rankings too :)
I stopped playing after advancing to a Spearman. If they fixed the jank UI and updated all the mobs to be accurate, alongside allowing more than one character, I would stay, but i'm just gonna wait till MapleLand gets their global release.

What do you mean by making the mobs to be accurate?
Nothing for europe :(
Soon, I hope :)
I just downloaded this... there's a 60 limit player per channel?? That should be a con. Like I see NO ONE?
Hennessy's
drink up
Why you no are shadowerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :(
LOL. I think Assassin is more fun than Bandit in OSMS. Modern Maple, Shadower is definitely better!
I wish changing channel was better
MapleLegends is much better at this moment. Arttale feels like a mobile game . The animation feels glitchy
I don't really notice the glitchy-ness. Plus, I don't think a lot of people are willing to put time into a private server (including myself)
