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.
INT Warriors STR Magicians People quitting so they drop mesos and gear all over Henesys UAs after hitting 120 on Cygnus Free Market ch 1 Starting as an apple suit The blue ice chair (I forgot the name but everyone thought you were a pro if you had it) Dice randomnizer for best stats
For me one of the most iconic builds would be HP warriors. An expensive, gimmicky as hell class yet it was hilarious to see a Lv40 warrior down the bottom of Ludibrum actually killing things that were intended for players over twice their level. Also for me I preferred the Maple Island that didn't have the tutorial centre with the apple suit (the one before that was introduced.) It felt way more like an actual island with people living in it than a little tutorial area.
"Ice Chair: A chair made out of Ice Queen's ice pieces. Sit on it to recover HP 40 and MP 30 per 10 seconds." I think it was 2000 snow pieces that you had to collect and trade with an NPC in Happyville in like 2007-2009 :)
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:
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
@@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.
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.
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.
It always makes me feel bittersweet when I stumble across maple story videos on TH-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'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.
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.
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.
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. ._.
There is nothing I miss more than just browsing the FM. The Auction house is just so... anonymous. There really is something special about going to a specific persons shop, like a yard sale
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.
@@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.
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!
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 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)
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
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
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
I remember thinking I was so cool because you could ignore the loading zones on the Orbis ship's interior ladders if you spam-clicked your character for some reason. Then you tell someone how to do it only for them to mess up, go outside, and never come back... Poor souls.
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.
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
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
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
@@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 :)
The OG maple was such a blast. Had a few irl friends of mine that played. The roads traveled with those dudes was epic. Almost brings tears to my eyes. Such a simple time in my life.
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 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 the drop game in Maya’s house and there would be a player telling me to drop and a mage teleports down hiding upstairs and loots my item lol
*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
I was just playing on the burning world today and I came across someone who was really nice! I rarely come across people when playing anymore, so it was a nice trip down memory lane to make a friend in this game again :)
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
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
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 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.
good old childhood days when everyone had nothing to worry about other than going to school , miss those days, the grind SUCKED, but the community was thriving and hanging out with random friends online always made me happy, or the music in amoria when pros got married, What about the old noob scam tab tab space enter (gonna dupe your items) all of that made me very happy , thats why i keep coming back, but now its super dead it seems, nobody chats, nobodys helps out, just seems like everybody doesnt care anymore :( Rest in peace old ms
seriously, maplestory saved my actual life. it helped me through my dad dying suddenly as a kid and helped me make incredible friends in a time where i didn’t know how to find myself in the real world. old maple is so comforting to me, i always have it downloaded on atleast one desktop in the house so that if i am having any type of bad situation in the real world, i can shut then door and escape to the tree trunks in ellinia and listen to “missing you”, and gosh it feels like a mf inhaler. i will forever be grateful to this game. and i feel the sting that i know things will never be the same again, but i will always still come back when i need it, even if all my old friends are gone and my chat log is bare. long live old maple, and thanks for everything!
Hey there! I used to play maple story in 7th grade (first pc/fully online game I’d ever played) back in 2005/2006 and played all the way until 2008 where my parents got mad at me for buying no cards from the local 7/11 😂 Then I quit and moved onto other games and to this day enjoy playing league/Fortnite/rocket league/apex/rss/basically everything…. came back to maple story just for the memories and was astounded at how fast leveling was. I remember grinding for hours for just one level, today I made a new char, played for about 5 hours f2p and have a character (given it’s a kanna bc I looked up easy fun classes) that’s level 150. Crazy! A fun throwback. I loved maplestory but have moved on since all my friends who I played with before remember it as the game they were bored with while playing it. Although I believe that creates social value, probably not enough for its merit. Loved the video, glad to see a long time player and dedication to helping the community. Keep it up!
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 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.
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
Oldschool MS veterans remember Perion and Kerning City ch 1 were the buy/sell spam locations prior to the free market entrance... but that was looooooong ago in the early days. Another event I recall from the super old days were when the monsters and bosses were fed up and attacked towns. I remember a hilarious moment in where some guy was standing there as a Crimson Balrog flew past and one-shot him with contact damage. Then, a GM (who were monitoring the event) gave him a free resurrection (at the time that was one of the only ways to res someone) and as they got back up, the C.Rog flew past again and took him out a second time. So funny.
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)
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.
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)
For my part it was that DK player named hefferheffer on windia server . He was selling Zakum helmet run with his guild by logging in into your account then do the run and loot the helmet . Man oh man that man was sooo legit back then he was one of the most trusted player i ever know ^^
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.
getting to be part of a horntail run as a bowmaster with a group of people that contained a guild that a year before that i still had to buy a zakum helmet from as a noob. it was a great moment to see the growth of my character as a full part of a boss party.
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
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.

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!!
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
There is nothing I miss more than just browsing the FM. The Auction house is just so... anonymous. There really is something special about going to a specific persons shop, like a yard sale
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.
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 😂
The most iconic maplestory memory? DESTROYING THE SOULS OF FOOLS WHO DARE AFK IN KERNING CITY WITH MY JR BALROG SACK MWAHAHAHAHAHHA
Ayo fuck you man I was a victim 😭
Nah, you do it in ludi tower. Lv 40s take 8~10 hrs of grinding to level already. So, my sacks get more for its value :p
you MONSTER
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.
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!
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.
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!
Please don't stop doing maplestory content! ❤️❤️❤️
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 :(
i used to farm mano's to perpetually stay in henesys as a snail
brooo hahaha
So many videos recently, thank you so much!! 😍
The most nostalgic thing for me is Avenger, I'm still bitter they removed it
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. :)

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 😂😂😂
Maplestory really needs to bring back some of these event. They were fun and everyone would get together and do them with random people
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!
im sobbing this is such a throwback
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
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
Never forget pig beach. Favorite map.
I remember thinking I was so cool because you could ignore the loading zones on the Orbis ship's interior ladders if you spam-clicked your character for some reason. Then you tell someone how to do it only for them to mess up, go outside, and never come back... Poor souls.
You hitting me with that nostalgia like a sack of bricks fam.
I definitely did most of this stuff back then.
Man your videos always bring me back to a special time in my life. Thanks for continuing to make these videos man.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
loved it back then when there were so few effects that you could actually SEE characters and things in the maps
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.
I miss MS pre big bang 🥺i would totally play again as an adult

The OG maple was such a blast. Had a few irl friends of mine that played. The roads traveled with those dudes was epic. Almost brings tears to my eyes. Such a simple time in my life.
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.
Hearing that happyville bgm gave me goosebumps 🥲
I like that you are posting really often now, love your content and love MS. Been watching for a long time.
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 :)
The drop games on the ship during to/from Orbis & Ludi were the most intense bar none
I remember the drop game in Maya’s house and there would be a player telling me to drop and a mage teleports down hiding upstairs and loots my item lol
Ahhh yes ... joining a party then suddenly needed to "sit on a chair to heal ... for 30mins"
*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! ^^
I was just playing on the burning world today and I came across someone who was really nice! I rarely come across people when playing anymore, so it was a nice trip down memory lane to make a friend in this game again :)
I'll always remember KS wars in the Forest of Golems. That was probably one of my favorite maps in the game.
Thank you for helping keep this game alive
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
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
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 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.
That Christmas event me and my friend Danny made pirates and grinded so hard during that event fuck I miss that game.
Been bingeing your videos copper! Love the 1-200 series and the nostalgia vids.
good old childhood days when everyone had nothing to worry about other than going to school , miss those days, the grind SUCKED, but the community was thriving and hanging out with random friends online always made me happy, or the music in amoria when pros got married,
What about the old noob scam tab tab space enter (gonna dupe your items) all of that made me very happy , thats why i keep coming back, but now its super dead it seems, nobody chats, nobodys helps out, just seems like everybody doesnt care anymore :( Rest in peace old ms
If I ever die, I wanna replay these memories again. This was one of the most fun times I ever had playing Maplestory. Rip the nostalgia....
seriously, maplestory saved my actual life. it helped me through my dad dying suddenly as a kid and helped me make incredible friends in a time where i didn’t know how to find myself in the real world. old maple is so comforting to me, i always have it downloaded on atleast one desktop in the house so that if i am having any type of bad situation in the real world, i can shut then door and escape to the tree trunks in ellinia and listen to “missing you”, and gosh it feels like a mf inhaler. i will forever be grateful to this game. and i feel the sting that i know things will never be the same again, but i will always still come back when i need it, even if all my old friends are gone and my chat log is bare.
long live old maple, and thanks for everything!
This vid made me smile from ear to ear. :)
Personally for me, playing back 10 years back I remember doing the PQ in kerning city and then Ludi PQs.. such a time of fun
The day before big bang was released, when GMs swarmed every town with insane high level bosses
I still remember being told to hide around kerning for the KPQ hahah. Gosh.. such memories.
Maple was a nice party game and now become solo game
Hey there! I used to play maple story in 7th grade (first pc/fully online game I’d ever played) back in 2005/2006 and played all the way until 2008 where my parents got mad at me for buying no cards from the local 7/11 😂
Then I quit and moved onto other games and to this day enjoy playing league/Fortnite/rocket league/apex/rss/basically everything…. came back to maple story just for the memories and was astounded at how fast leveling was. I remember grinding for hours for just one level, today I made a new char, played for about 5 hours f2p and have a character (given it’s a kanna bc I looked up easy fun classes) that’s level 150. Crazy! A fun throwback. I loved maplestory but have moved on since all my friends who I played with before remember it as the game they were bored with while playing it. Although I believe that creates social value, probably not enough for its merit.
Loved the video, glad to see a long time player and dedication to helping the community. Keep it up!
Chilling in Mayas house and see all the mages on the left side grass through teleport.
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.
Damn you’re killin’ it with the upload schedule!!
I've been playing maplelegends and the nostalgia is actually insane. It's as og as it gets
having the slowest internet at the time and having to wait over 2-4hrs just to patch maplestory , then hopping on like there's no tomorrow
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.
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
Are we not gonna talk about Pig Beach and the Iron boar, or Bigfoot leech?
You have been playing MapleStory for 3 hours now, we suggest you take a break from Mapling
no
Oldschool MS veterans remember Perion and Kerning City ch 1 were the buy/sell spam locations prior to the free market entrance... but that was looooooong ago in the early days.
Another event I recall from the super old days were when the monsters and bosses were fed up and attacked towns. I remember a hilarious moment in where some guy was standing there as a Crimson Balrog flew past and one-shot him with contact damage. Then, a GM (who were monitoring the event) gave him a free resurrection (at the time that was one of the only ways to res someone) and as they got back up, the C.Rog flew past again and took him out a second time. So funny.
I remember PreMarket times at Kerning city ✌🏻
My life sucked in lots of ways back then, I wasn’t happy overall but damn nostalgia hits hard and makes you forget all that. I wanna go back
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)
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.
Doing the jump quest to reach the best spot of Windraiders. It was cool actually learning all the paths of the forest.
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)
Lowkey every year even when i took a break from maple, i would login to maple for the xmas music
Crimson Balrogs were such a unique feature to an already unique concept of group traveling
I can't believe this guy still makes videos about MapleStory, I remember watching you like years ago wth
I remember things differently! :o Most I can remember is the Fraps and Unregistered Hypercam watermark being in MapleStory videos ^^;;
For my part it was that DK player named hefferheffer on windia server . He was selling Zakum helmet run with his guild by logging in into your account then do the run and loot the helmet . Man oh man that man was sooo legit back then he was one of the most trusted player i ever know ^^
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.
The Ellinia protest for the release of Orbis. GMs got fed up and spawned jr balrogs and junk. Lmao
getting to be part of a horntail run as a bowmaster with a group of people that contained a guild that a year before that i still had to buy a zakum helmet from as a noob. it was a great moment to see the growth of my character as a full part of a boss party.
