It's strange. There's something particularly about Maplestory soundtracks that really fucking get to me. I get really nostalgic listening to this. It's weird, I played this game in '07, '08, not terribly long ago, but these songs are so... comforting... like lullabies from an earlier period in my life. Even songs from games I played in 1996 don't hit me as hard as the melodic tunes from this game. This game was just amazing in every single aspect. Like everything amazing in my life - it was something I got into before really fully realizing the lasting impact it would have on me. Truly one of the most exciting adventures in my gaming career was spent with this game. Too many reasons to list why, but even though I only spent about 2 years or so grinding this game every day, it feels much longer. Had a lot of good times on this game. I'm incredibly disappointed with what the managers allowed to happen to this game... just another sad, unfortunate example of what happens when people sell out, lose their soul, their core, all in pursuit of a quick, cheap, dollar. Completely destroyed the community. It's happened with a lot of gaming communities that were close to me.
+Seven Foot Pelican I feel the same way. I'm 19 now, but i was about 12, 13 when i played MS. It was the first online game i played and i remember every guild i've been in, many people i met, and it was simply magic. Every part of it. The community was so great... Everytime i come back here i almost cry.
You guys remember the excitement you got when adding a skill point to magic claw for the first time? Or getting into kerning PQ successfully after clicking on that lady NPC two hundred times a minute? Or When we would wait for the ship to take us to orbis and the pros would be out facing the balrog while the noobs would be inside the cabin just chatting about life and our goals and adding each other as friends? That rare time when you had your second job advancement that you realize you couldnt sleep the night before? That fear that came from seeing an angry iron boar running about at that beach area? The hours spend lost in the maze-like forests of sleepywood, but then realizing how calming the music was... Good times, man, good times...
Damn man you killed me.. we used to hide inside and the pros went out to kill them then they like come back into the ship and tell us that its ok and we can go out now.. i miss the old days :( the game used to be so much fun and innocent
Damn man you killed me.. we used to hide inside and the pros went out to kill them then they like come back into the ship and tell us that its ok and we can go out now.. i miss the old days :( the game used to be so much fun and innocent
Man, this track is bringing back so many memories of mine. When maplestory was the best game in the world. We found so many friends, we train, we doing PQ together...every thing was so fun that time :'( Im crying ToT
See, this is just my opinion and own personal nostalgia but the main reason why people loved this game so much back in the day was because it was about the community, it was about forming parties to fight tough monsters and making friends along the way, you shared in the laughs, the joy of levelling, the misery of dying and the frustration of getting lost, when more and more updates came out with classes, items and skills that enabled us to do these things solo we jumped at the chance to prove that we were the strongest and drifted away from what we came to love in the first place. Now when we look at maplestory all we see is a festing pile of dps whores and solo elitists...we don't see 'our' maplestory but that's the thing, it was never the game which we remember with such fond memories, but the people we played the game with, The game became easier and so we lost sight of that fact, that this game should be played WITH people not competing AGAINST them for who has the best weapon.
Damn straight :( i used to love ms, been playing global since version like...8 or something, now i log on about three times a year just to realise again that this is no place for people who just want to enjoy the game without spending hours on the fm
I remember when I got stuck at the bottom of the dungeon in the middle of Victoria Island (the name escapes me now) and I had tried to climb out myself for quite a while. One person was kind enough to escort me out of the dungeon. Even though I missed a lot of the jumps and we had to start over many times, he still did not abandon me. I consider that to be one of the first nice things someone has done for me, both IRL and online. Even though I've since lost the information to my account and I don't play anymore, I think about him often. I hope he's doing well.
XxInTheZonexX That was me...Nah, just kidding but it really makes you think back...Luckily, I played with friends from my school so we are still in touch. I could never imagine you thinking about someone over a simple act of kindness, even though he might have forgotten about you.
Steve Stevens I definitely got a lot of those too. I think that's why I liked Maplestory so much. You could shed away your outer appearance and no one can tease you for being fat.
Maplestory... I... I miss you.. :'( All you old maplers and comments on this track, I love you guys.. If I ever ran into you during the old times and never said hey.. Well here I am... I miss you all 😭
This song always made me consider how bright and scholarly mages were. Every time I would head to the ship to Orbis, I would hear this song and think of wizards huddled over piles of books in candlelight. I'd think of the peaceful wisdom of Ellinia. A quiet little village, tucked away in the forest, buzzing with scholarly work.
I love how the older maple community comes back to these soundtracks just to reminisce on how great this game once was. Such good times, even though the intense level-grinding was pretty brutal (hey, it gave you a lot of time to socialize lol). After playing it for so many years you start to look back on how many lovely people you've become friends with on that game and you can't help but to miss them even though you can't contact them anymore. So much of my childhood lies within this game.. I miss all of the all-night kpq's that I'd always grind in with everyone. Trying to get the fastest clicker as a leader just so you can feel all mighty in the pq in cc1. Leveling is so easy now, it ruins what maplestory used to be about. MS will always have a place in my heart though hahaha
I really like coming back to these songs primarily to reminisce about childhood and all the friends I've made just because of this game. As much as I love how powerful this music is and to I would say most; if not everyone viewing this, on our memories, I love reading some people's stories of when they first started, how they got introduced, and most of all if they still play and why. It's true that MapleStory has lost sight of how it was years ago and I do miss it dearly and will always have a place i my heart as well but that's what private servers are always for XD. (Remember spamming J> KPQ on that 3rd sewer drain along with, "I have track or S> Track). So many happy memories!
This music makes me wish I had a time machine so I could go back to those days and relive the best moments of my childhood with internet and RL friends playing the best MMO of the mid and late 2000's.
I remember looting a Maple Claw shortly after I first started playing in 2007 during the anniversary event, and sold it to an NPC for like 40,000 mesos, which I thought was a ton of money. Shortly after, I found out they were worth like 5 million mesos and almost cried.
Permalight I was playing in Scania wayyyyyy back in the day I found a 60% glove att. scroll while they were going for like 10 mil and since i was a noob i sold it for 50k and thought i scored big money
Damn fuck.. Listening to this track just made me thinking back the good old times. Fucking miss my friends that I made in the old maplestory. I wanna ask them are they missing me like how much I miss them so much? The main point on the old maplestory is making the best friend u ever had... :')
When I hear this, Im happy and sad at the same time, cause I remember all the good times that I have passed there, and I know that thoose don´t gonna come back anymore... T____T
Goosebumps from this song. Every game was like that. Our generation was the first with a computer for gaming ends. Even games like Habbo we're new. Everybody was mature and you were gaming and chatting. These days 10 year old kid owns a computer (or parents). All the communities are full of kids now. Why do you think it is so easy to level on maplestory now. More kids will play = more cash for nexon. I miss the old days too. I'd wish I appreciated it more back then :(
good old memories right here played this game so much all the friends i made and hang out with them every day when i should be lvling actually brings a tear to my eye :) good old memories i wish i could go back to the year i started playing and do it all over again
I still remember my first Magician... i spent days or even weeks here, doing quests and hunting in the Ellinia forest. God, whats it been? 5 years? 7? more? i miss it...
Agreed. I spent my entire adolescence playing Maplestory, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The thing I miss the most isn't the gameplay itself, but all the memories I had playing. meeting people, reaching goals, and having fun. All that's left to do now is to close your eyes and listen to the song and let it take you back :')
As a Korean user who started to play Maplestory in the very first release of the game in 2003...I couldn't say i remember all of detailed things but many fun stuffs,processes and changes in Maplestory still remain in my memory and i know how you guys feel now.Even though i've already quitted the game 3 years ago..damn,i just miss the old maplestory and all these beautiful bgms. R.I.P maplestory and my childhood
Are you serious? Maplestory is as old as me huh. It came out when I was one, I played it with my sister all the time when I got old enough to play computer games. I’m 17 and 18 in 5 months and my sister is 25 today. God time flies. We still play MapleLegends together so at least our bond is still there.
it really brings a warm feel to my chest. This song was the beginning of many adventures that sadly are over, but never forgotten. i feel sadness and joy at the same time
Damn feel...when I was a boy I would sometimes just get up early in the morning, turn on the computer, log in the game and just hang around all over Ellinia myself without no paritcular reason; just enjoying the view and listening to this wonderful piece of music constantly ringing out as I explored the fantasied wood of Ellinia was a big pleasure for a lonely soul like me. Too bad this once excellent game has went totally fucked up because of some greedy bastards in the company.
Doing Quest, PQ's, Meeting some weird, cool, and interesting people. Being approached by noobs asking for mesos. Or being the noob asking for mesos. Being stuck at the same level for so long. Trolling around Henesys, Getting girlfriends, Running away from the Balrog while on the boat to Orbis. Creating a Guild, having literally 5 people only in that guild. Clicking so fast you almost break your mouse to get into PQ's. Always having someone to talk too. CH 1 FM being so laggy. A few of the friends I've made on Maplestory, we've actually talked in Real Life. Not in person but texting/talking on the phone. Going to weddings, Teaming up with higher level players so they can help you with quest, grinding so hard, you haven't even reached 50%, getting KSED, being that one guy that picks everything someone else has literally just finished dropping .. Only to find out it's nothing valuable. Everyone just hanging out in the Henesys General Store, Always searching for an Assassin because you want Haste. Or always searching for a Cleric for Heal. Or a Warrior for Hyper Body, Not doing homework because Maplestory got in the way lol. I played in Windia, and my first ever character was an Archer. I think the highest I got it was too 60 ? Or higher .. Not sure. Maplestory now is confusing, some places have been switched, and it's just too much to take in. It'll always be in my heart because it was a huge part of my childhood .. I'll honestly never forget .. Ever
I was never a high player in this game and never really knew a lot of people in the game as well. However, I remember how filled the maps were in this game with players. Or that one place were people were farming at those slime monsters in Henesys (you had layers of monsters on top of each other) that map was always filled with players! Now, when I go back there, it's so empty...
I started this game with my older sister when i was like five years old. That's twelve years ago, not so long after when the game first actually came out. Back then, levelling up took eternity that we didn't even pay attention to earning experience. We'd just wander around enjoying the game, and surprise, I leveled up, a bunch of excitement and goodies. People who reached level 30 used to be admired back then because it just was just that hard. I used to suck at this game so much, I died at least a million times a day (because what do you expect out of a five), but i never gave a shit because even that was fun. I once got so broke in the game i couldn't afford portions. I'd just hang on the ladders and wait for the time to heal. Back then there was no competitions because who gives a shit really. I still remember the first time I killed an axe stump. I dealt 1 damage each blow, and almost every hit was a miss, and I just continued for some twenty minutes. I also remember when party quests were actually fun. Not swearing at each other because of how slow a player was.
I miss this game. It had a roughness to it that made it beautiful. From fun areas like the golem pit, to the hidden streets that would surprise you with their redundancy yet immerse you. I miss these the most : Maps that would add nothing other than a quiet area to hang out with your friends, to stop and chat, or to simply enjoy the BGM. Maps like the tree caves in Ellinia. They added so much to the feeling that you were in an open world. I was devastated when BB patch trunkated Victoria island, and it was never the same after that.
Miss the memories I had playing this in elementary school. The OG community was insanely friendly and I made some amazing friends. I will always come back and listen to this every few years, amazing memories.
I remember the first time I came to Victory island, I was so curious about everything and too dumb to know how to do the 1st job advancement. I took the stupid vip taxi at Lith Harbor, ended up in Sleepy Wood. I tried to fight the way out but goddamnit, I couldnt't beat any horny mushrooms and evil eye's. It was so frustrating that I created a new character. This time I went for magician, but, with most of APs for strength hahahaaa Good ol' days!
The Ellinia bg music is probably 1 of my most favorite pieces of music from gaming, ever, and gives that nostalgic feeling of the old days... -I remember the beta days where Perion was the marketplace and how we all fought in HHG1 over the green mushies for those 1-more-def panlids~ -Even when the game kicked off with Scania, another memorable period was the epic appearance of the Blue Moon Earrings (from Dark Leetys) after Ossy was released. They were awesome, as well as the napoleon capes & china 50 armor for Dits
guys, I just want to say that it is crazy how maple story has had such a big inpact on every one here. Just want to say, I havent ever played ms cuz when it came out I wasnt even born and i dont think it is worth playing it in 2019 (thats the time i found out about it, lol). But remember that a lot of its sound tracks are used in a lot of roblox games, think that its impact in feuture games wont die (I am a big fan of its sound tracks and its amazing style and it brings me nostalgia too)
God I miss the old times of this game. . . 11 years go by so fast. . played this for a good 3 to 4 years straight then came back for the Evan. . played another two years then left. damn nostalgia
I completely feel the nostalgia that everyone is feeling when listening to Maplestory music. The entire soundtrack is so beautiful. Every time I went back to find that experience, it just wasn't the same with these Dual Blades and Luminous classes. To be completely honest, I absolutely loved the market place. It was so different from every game I ever played. What a social community. I miss it for sure
I remember when I was really young this guy asked to trade with me just for me to 'show' him my cool equipment and mesos, then he told me hit tab tab space enter to doubles my mesos. Lol. I lost all my stuff. Memories ❤️
The thing that i miss the most about maplestory was the boat ride to orbit where many people gathered to travel. You'd see high level players , low level players , all kind of jobs together and everyone would chat, get to know each other better and when balrog came out, we'd all run beside the high players who were pretty much considered gods to us at the time. Now they pretty much removed the friendly boat ride with all these time shortening trips.
Ah, the memories. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again just for this game. Back when you could just play for hours because your maple character was you in a way. You could be yourself in this game. Whether you were a bowman, a mage, a warrior or a thief. We were all a family and it felt just like that :). Pairing up with random people, enjoying the amazing music and making new friends every day. Those were the good days, and even though they can never come back, they will never be forgotten
I was a little-ass kid when my friends told me about how great this game was. Saying they were on a boat. Convincing me it was pronounced 'magic ean' instead of magician. (I still mess it up in my head because of that) We always felt real excitement and danger from going too deep in Ellinia or that forest thing. I forgot what it was called. We were convinced if we went deep enough past the drakes in some cave then there would be "legendary weapons" we could loot. We were like Lv13 and the drakes were nearly Lv70. Ellinia really felt like home.
Seriously, in 2007 I spent so much time trying to level my character and when I got to lv43 I felt godlike. I went back for a bit in 2012? 2013? with an angelic buster and in a week I was lv76. Definitely lost the appeal.
I remember getting to 68 and spending nearly 6 months trying to level, GOD the grind was terrible. But the people and the loot were what made the game what it was. Now, the people are gone and loot is worthless because you outgrow anything of "high value" for your level in a matter of minutes.
The Old Maplestory really does bring back nostalgic memories. I remember that time when I dropped my green flowery tube (which was the sh** back in 2006) and then another user took it because I was such a noob and didn't know how to pick it back up xD. I seriously miss the times when everyone would try to climb to the top of the pet obstacle course and the times when everyone would hang out in Maya's house in Henesys (on channel 1 of course). I miss those times when only Scania, Bera, Bora, and Windia were a thing. I can honestly say that some of my closest friendships throughout my childhood were made on this game. The buddies that I made were always there for me whether I had maplestory world problems or real life world problems. It's so crazy to think that I'm going into college now and am leaving behind memories that I will always be thankful for. I thank everyone who was part of the old maplestory community (2005-2009) for some of the best childhood and online experiences in my life.
While I'm sure new maple has its merits, This sums it all up for me. A world of mystery and wonder, where you never knew what was around the next corner and it was all the more satisfying making it there for all the effort. Far more importantly, the community. You guys were amazing. Best gaming memories, wouldn't change it for the world.
i used to play maple (around 2005~2006) a lot and every time i hear a theme from maple i want to come back and play again but...its not the same...i really miss maple...not saying today maple is awful but the old one was...fun...hard to lvl up...people actually help you...good old times :'D
I used to wait at a lvl 25 quest at the harbour, with the needed materials needed. If anyone came by I asked them if they had done this quest and I would give them the materials and 50K for the reward. They were so happy! Reward was a random 60% att scroll, which I then sold off in Perion for a good 500-700K. It felt bad so I stopped doing it after a little while. Sometimes they messaged me saying it was much more worth then 50k. I would then give them 300K or so.
I haven't played in years, Maplestory was a hard habit for me to kick, was excited for Maplestory 2, well that didn't go as planned. The nostalgia I'm feeling is real, realest I've ever felt. Never really understood it, only had little short lived bits of it, but this is bringing back everything I've ever felt. Started as a Wind Archer in Scania. Cygnus Knights were semi new, that's when I first started playing. 3 days before Thanksgiving either 2009 or 2010 I had my little elemental friend, Storm by my side and nothing could go wrong! And nothing did. After Ereve I went to Ellinia and the music took me away, later on Elluel would have the same effect. I met quite a few players everyone asking me how did I get my little familiar friend, all Explorers were asking me. Couldn't help them unfortunately... Traversed my way to Perion by walking because I was clueless. Met a group of 5 friends and ultimately became their 6th member. That was short-lived however, hope they're all doing well now. Hopped around characters as well as servers. Then a year later or so Big Bang hit. My highest at the time was lv50 NW dominating in Carnival PQ. After more server hopping I ended up making Chaos my home. Became a Wind Archer again, named it TaleOfDusk (Used Dusk a lot for a name). I did some PvP with the old Wind Archer skills and dominated with hurricane push. Eventually met a dude named IShowStopper and formed a guild, Nightcore (Didn't know it was music at the time, it just sounded like a cool word I made up). It was an okay-ish guild, not too successful, not too crummy. Got to lv120 and was hyped. Created a few more characters, but nothing was as fun as the OG Wind Archer. I'd grind for absolutely no reason besides loving Albatross, a skill that at the time it actually transformed your character and let you use special skills. Wind Archers today cannot match up for me in terms of enjoyment. When they revamped Wind Archers, it crushed me, a class I used to love I utterly hated. Cygnus Knights can't in general due to the removal of the elemental companion skills. Granted they weren't amazing, but I never felt lonely with Storm by my side! Eventually ended up going to Extalia with IShowStopper because he was my best bud. Well he was a few years older, got a job, and we barely played. That turned into never playing, which turned into never talking... We had all these big plans to meet up when we were older. We very rarely talk now and even when we do, it's never the same. I ended up quitting for good about a year ago. The game's progressed too far for my enjoyment, I just can't keep up unfortunately. It was my longest played game and thought I'd play till the servers went down. I've since lost my original account with TaleOfDusk. I've tried everything I could, but to no avail. I don't remember the old email password, nor have the phone I backed it up with. I contacted Nexon, but even though I was extremely knowledgeable about the account they couldn't just give me the information (understandably). I miss you Storm and all of the other elementals. But I miss you IShowStopper and all the amazing times we used to have whether it be hanging out, or grinding, or whatever man. I've had many friends in Maplestory come and go, but nobody even close to you. My story is a lot more extensive, but aren't all our stories full of amazing and glorious detail even if we can't remember it all? What's your story?
I agree with you 100%. Sometimes, when I think about the old maple 3 years ago, it brings tears to my eyes. I don't think we will ever see those days again. Version 40's and 50's were the best.
stopped playing maple in 2008. was a lv40 cleric before that. Recently returned back to maple 2 months ago to continue since i graduated from school last year and had free time. was surprised victoria island was empty, almost dead and everything changed completely. became a bishop in 1weeks time which could haeve taken years to become. I did PQ after that and was surprised that people told me to see people with the original 4 jobs was VERY VERY RARE nowadays since the new overpowered jobs released and the nerfing of the original 4. party members were rude and always took advantage of me just so i can boost their exp, dun care even if i died... so sad it had changed so much..... waiting for maple story 2 to come and hopes it fixes it all and bring back to its roots...
I was a 46 - 52 cleric. I stopped right around 08 when a update changed that year . It was where a big cake came in some event to drop rare Maple gear . However, by then, i stopped playing as there were other interests during those times.
Goddammit! The nostalgia. Could probably die from the overdose. Back then when I was a noob magician with no mesos, the mana pots were too expensive. Had to wait for auto recovery while I hit the slimes for 1 and 2 damage with the beginner's wand. Good old times with good old community, makes your heart all heavy F4.
I used to agree that Maplestory isn't as good as it used to be, but after realizing how many people said it sucked after 2008-2009... I realized that I began playing in 2008, and that's when I got addicted to it. So, it might not even be that it truly "sucks" it's just simply a bit different, and no one likes the changes.. My only thing is that the community is much quieter so gaming is less fun in general :\
I didn't really play runescape, but I'm glad you guys got such a great opportunity. Reading their posts I can tell Jagex really cares about what the players want. I wonder if the original maplestory creators would ever be able to do the same and bring back the old school MS.
maplestory - a word that comes to my heart within joy and excitement...we all hold on to maplestory because we connect to it and never forget the leveling, adventures, excitements, places, friends, and even scams, trades...we are the ones who keep the maple spirit within us, no one can destroy this...but those of us from 2005-06 - we are the history of maple in which that made us believe that maplestory was the key to joy and love. we r the future and past of maplestory... hold on to it with luv
Gosh, i spent so much time in this game. I haven't played in a long time... I was having a rough day and just turned this on out of the blue... it's brought back so many good memories... the community, the effort I put into this game. It was so great, now... Now i can't even force myself to get on... I miss you old maplestory. Take me back to flawed beta on tespia server.. I'll take that over what it's become anyday.
Gosh this brings back so many memories, I remember when I first started playing this game i decided my character would be a mage when I got to ellinia I met someone and this person bought me all kinds of weapons and armor and he said I was good to go. I would never forget that.
Jesus the nostalgia. I was raised with Maplestory even before I properly understood how the game worked. When I was little I would watch my older brother play the game while it was in beta, and after awhile (and I think after the game exited beta) of watching he set me up with my own account. From there I'd been playing since, after I stopped about 4 or 5 years ago, but I still get on every anniversary. Honestly I believe it and Runescape held some of the largest impacts on my childhood, mostly since I dumped God knows how many hours into each. Can't wait for Maplestory 2!!!
i played this since i was 6 (2006) and today is 2014 means i am 14 and i really want to keep playing it but my mom does not let me play it cause she thinks it has viruses... (sucks to be me)
Trust me when I say you don't wanna go back to playing it. It sucks, but they added about 15-20 new classes. It's all about godly equipment now and who can be better than anyone else, not just leveling up to 200. That's the main reason why I quit. If you still wanna play it though, it has no viruses whatsoever, I can assure you. I've tested it on several machines, and it has no viruses. You have a computer builder's word.
yeah me too i play when i was 6 or 7 then i mother said my math is very bad she call meh not to play but i didnt study hard for my math but it i snot maple fault
Pluto P Guys? GUYS! He's 16! I've set out on a quest all over the world to find someone who is 16! When I read these two words in that combination, I firstly thought I had misread. 16 year olds nowadays are such rare creatures, and my only dream in life was to find one in it's natural habitat. Now that my life is complete I have no idea what to do, I devoted all my years on this planet to find such a majestic specimen. What should I do now guys? Any ideas for a new hobby?
Easily the most influential game in my life. I still talk to a few of my old mapling buddies. One recently had a kid. Two got married (not together lol) a few years ago. :) We played together online together over a decade ago and we never even met in person yet. I was a low level cleric when I met them. Spent all my mesos I saved up to open my guild that only ever held my friends. I still think about MapleStory often. I play in a private server now and it sorta captures the feel but I'll never have that one particular summer again. And that's fine. It'll stay as one of my most cherished memories regardless!
This is sound is classic. Maplestory was my childhood. It was like you were in another world. I will forver remember this game. My friends, My guild, My Characters, the old maps , everything was magical. The party quest, everything.
This piece is still in the game. Why are people complaining? If you really wanna complain about something, complain about RuneScape removing some of their original soundtracks in the game (which I don't really care about). Hell, I bet most of the people commenting in this video were born in the 20's and that must be the reason they have a weird definition of nostalgia. If you really miss this game, go play it and stop complaining. Just because it has more players, quests, less glitches, more places, and it's not impossible to level like before, doesn't mean it is bad. PS, kiddos: This is a piece, or simply call it soundtrack. A song is when someone sings; stop calling this a song.
The game is no longer as fun as it used to be. It's no longer about making friends and socializing. It's about spending your money to maximize your uber DPS. The fact that it took forever to level was actually a pretty one of the game's strengths. Sure, it sucked ass that it took forever to level, but the slower pace made it better to make friends and socialize. Doing party quests was a good way to meet new people and get good exp. First time I played, by the time I reached level 70 after a year, I had like 100 friends. When I played the game again as a new class, I got to level 150 in 3 months and had like 20 friends.
-Commented about my reminiscence -Didn't have 1 complaint -Referred to this as a piece of music; gg Release new class more OP than the rest + add another Cash shop damage stat value to gear, somehow.
For me, this is nostalgic because here, in Brazil, our server was closed in august in 2011 and I was 11 years old, playing since 9 years old... It was part of my childhood.
I think I speak for everybody watching this video when I say Maple Story marked my childhood and I will always remember the fun I had playing this game with my friends. I stopped playing over 3 years ago but hearing this makes me want to go back. Unfortunately, I know it wouldn't be the same even if I did. I just want to go back in time for an hour to remember just how cool mapling was. Nostalgia!!!!!
I spent so many years playing this, I remember the Kerning PQ's and the frustration training the newbie to sat on the correct box.. the excitement of starting ludi PQ's and being absolutely useless.. I started playing 12 years ago as a child and left in 2010... And today I'm a 23 year old fire fighter. And I can truly say my life has never had so much excitement and thrill as the days I played MapleStory.. IGN - Pshhh Peace
i remember when i'm not in mood or whatever, everytime i sit down in some of my favourite places and the precious music in maple, i can always calm down.
Lol this reminds me of my 1st Magician. Was an I/L and I was so proud when i got it to lvl 30. And it also remids me of when everyone went on the ship and how no one could fight Balrog

Do not cry for what you have lost,
Cherish for what you have experienced.
I feel a little bit better now.
But I just want to re-experience it ):
Re-experience it.... in your mind... ~monk 334
*sniff* I miss it so much.
look up maple royals , it's a private server that captures the old maplestory.
It's strange. There's something particularly about Maplestory soundtracks that really fucking get to me. I get really nostalgic listening to this. It's weird, I played this game in '07, '08, not terribly long ago, but these songs are so... comforting... like lullabies from an earlier period in my life. Even songs from games I played in 1996 don't hit me as hard as the melodic tunes from this game.
This game was just amazing in every single aspect. Like everything amazing in my life - it was something I got into before really fully realizing the lasting impact it would have on me. Truly one of the most exciting adventures in my gaming career was spent with this game. Too many reasons to list why, but even though I only spent about 2 years or so grinding this game every day, it feels much longer. Had a lot of good times on this game. I'm incredibly disappointed with what the managers allowed to happen to this game... just another sad, unfortunate example of what happens when people sell out, lose their soul, their core, all in pursuit of a quick, cheap, dollar. Completely destroyed the community. It's happened with a lot of gaming communities that were close to me.
I agree. These memories will last forever. This was my favourite music and job
+lColishl you worked for maplestory... What?!
+Michael Z. he meant magician job
Lol dude I started post big bang and I still feel nostalgic for some reason
+Seven Foot Pelican I feel the same way. I'm 19 now, but i was about 12, 13 when i played MS. It was the first online game i played and i remember every guild i've been in, many people i met, and it was simply magic. Every part of it. The community was so great... Everytime i come back here i almost cry.
This game wasn't about just leveling and killing monsters. It was the community, making friends, and party quests that made this game so excellent
+Mr Incredible42 And now it's all RUINED smh tbh flim flam
+Mr Incredible42 yes, the community is the best of every games
+Gigabils yeah it is , but nothing we can do about it , still this music is the best ever .
Holy shit memories
f4
You guys remember the excitement you got when adding a skill point to magic claw for the first time? Or getting into kerning PQ successfully after clicking on that lady NPC two hundred times a minute? Or When we would wait for the ship to take us to orbis and the pros would be out facing the balrog while the noobs would be inside the cabin just chatting about life and our goals and adding each other as friends? That rare time when you had your second job advancement that you realize you couldnt sleep the night before? That fear that came from seeing an angry iron boar running about at that beach area? The hours spend lost in the maze-like forests of sleepywood, but then realizing how calming the music was... Good times, man, good times...
I remember being an autoclicker Party leader & tracking for KPQ
Damn man you killed me.. we used to hide inside and the pros went out to kill them then they like come back into the ship and tell us that its ok and we can go out now.. i miss the old days :( the game used to be so much fun and innocent
Damn man you killed me.. we used to hide inside and the pros went out to kill them then they like come back into the ship and tell us that its ok and we can go out now.. i miss the old days :( the game used to be so much fun and innocent
Man, this track is bringing back so many memories of mine. When maplestory was the best game in the world. We found so many friends, we train, we doing PQ together...every thing was so fun that time :'( Im crying ToT
See, this is just my opinion and own personal nostalgia but the main reason why people loved this game so much back in the day was because it was about the community, it was about forming parties to fight tough monsters and making friends along the way, you shared in the laughs, the joy of levelling, the misery of dying and the frustration of getting lost, when more and more updates came out with classes, items and skills that enabled us to do these things solo we jumped at the chance to prove that we were the strongest and drifted away from what we came to love in the first place. Now when we look at maplestory all we see is a festing pile of dps whores and solo elitists...we don't see 'our' maplestory but that's the thing,
it was never the game which we remember with such fond memories, but the people we played the game with, The game became easier and so we lost sight of that fact, that this game should be played WITH people not competing AGAINST them for who has the best weapon.
Preach it sister
10/10 would like 708 times
Damn straight :( i used to love ms, been playing global since version like...8 or something, now i log on about three times a year just to realise again that this is no place for people who just want to enjoy the game without spending hours on the fm
Preach it, honey!
I would give you a million likes if I could.
I remember when I got stuck at the bottom of the dungeon in the middle of Victoria Island (the name escapes me now) and I had tried to climb out myself for quite a while. One person was kind enough to escort me out of the dungeon. Even though I missed a lot of the jumps and we had to start over many times, he still did not abandon me. I consider that to be one of the first nice things someone has done for me, both IRL and online. Even though I've since lost the information to my account and I don't play anymore, I think about him often. I hope he's doing well.
XxInTheZonexX That was me...Nah, just kidding but it really makes you think back...Luckily, I played with friends from my school so we are still in touch. I could never imagine you thinking about someone over a simple act of kindness, even though he might have forgotten about you.
Leaderkinko i remember stares people gave me as a 3 year old lol..
Steve Stevens I definitely got a lot of those too. I think that's why I liked Maplestory so much. You could shed away your outer appearance and no one can tease you for being fat.
XxInTheZonexX That definitely sounds like old Maplestory. People were kind enough to do things like that. I miss the game.
+XxInTheZonexX ah...Sleepywood :')
this shit makes me feel some sort of way
Don't know how u feel but i feel old
Is your face showing how you felt?
what the heckin fuck are u doing here
Maplestory...
I... I miss you.. :'(
All you old maplers and comments on this track, I love you guys.. If I ever ran into you during the old times and never said hey.. Well here I am... I miss you all 😭
same
Caleb Cepeda miss playing with you brother. Great times!!
TexasBonezz I appreciate it man! miss you as well!
This song always made me consider how bright and scholarly mages were. Every time I would head to the ship to Orbis, I would hear this song and think of wizards huddled over piles of books in candlelight. I'd think of the peaceful wisdom of Ellinia. A quiet little village, tucked away in the forest, buzzing with scholarly work.
I love how the older maple community comes back to these soundtracks just to reminisce on how great this game once was. Such good times, even though the intense level-grinding was pretty brutal (hey, it gave you a lot of time to socialize lol). After playing it for so many years you start to look back on how many lovely people you've become friends with on that game and you can't help but to miss them even though you can't contact them anymore. So much of my childhood lies within this game.. I miss all of the all-night kpq's that I'd always grind in with everyone. Trying to get the fastest clicker as a leader just so you can feel all mighty in the pq in cc1. Leveling is so easy now, it ruins what maplestory used to be about. MS will always have a place in my heart though hahaha
I really like coming back to these songs primarily to reminisce about childhood and all the friends I've made just because of this game. As much as I love how powerful this music is and to I would say most; if not everyone viewing this, on our memories, I love reading some people's stories of when they first started, how they got introduced, and most of all if they still play and why. It's true that MapleStory has lost sight of how it was years ago and I do miss it dearly and will always have a place i my heart as well but that's what private servers are always for XD.
(Remember spamming J> KPQ on that 3rd sewer drain along with, "I have track or S> Track). So many happy memories!
Yeah the nostalgia of Maple really gets to me. Like you guys said, thinking about the friends we've made... it's just so sad.
omg, nostalgia...
+lilkyootepi Half of the people that spam "NOSTALGIA DURR" in the comments started to play after update 0.55...
❤️❤️
Why am I here, listening to all this music from my childhood. It hurts so much, but I can't stop... I wish I was an innocent kid again...
This music makes me wish I had a time machine so I could go back to those days and relive the best moments of my childhood with internet and RL friends playing the best MMO of the mid and late 2000's.
@@TheKhopesh look up Mapleroyals! Its an old school private server
I remember looting a Maple Claw shortly after I first started playing in 2007 during the anniversary event, and sold it to an NPC for like 40,000 mesos, which I thought was a ton of money. Shortly after, I found out they were worth like 5 million mesos and almost cried.
LOL ! Dude I did the same thing
Permalight Happened to the best of us... Still, those were the days!
Permalight I was playing in Scania wayyyyyy back in the day I found a 60% glove att. scroll while they were going for like 10 mil and since i was a noob i sold it for 50k and thought i scored big money
+Permalight LMFAO, The feels.
I sold illbis for 100k in '08 when they were worth like 10m
God... this is a new level of nostalgia.
back in the days I would drop my god like items at a secret place and switch out to a different character to pick it up T_T
+Jim Yang OMG WHEN I WAS LITTTLE I SAW MY COUSIN DO THAT, SHE ASKED ME TO GET READY FOR SOME ACTION AND FUCKING SWITCHED CHARACTERS FAST AF
but when you dc and can't login. Errmahgawd.. the panic and heart attack XDDDDD
+Guadi Chao LMAO your cousin is badass!!
Muling 😝
oh the days..oh the days
Damn fuck.. Listening to this track just made me thinking back the good old times. Fucking miss my friends that I made in the old maplestory. I wanna ask them are they missing me like how much I miss them so much? The main point on the old maplestory is making the best friend u ever had... :')
When I hear this, Im happy and sad at the same time, cause I remember all the good times that I have passed there, and I know that thoose don´t gonna come back anymore... T____T
***** then it will be the same than before?
Goosebumps from this song. Every game was like that. Our generation was the first with a computer for gaming ends. Even games like Habbo we're new. Everybody was mature and you were gaming and chatting. These days 10 year old kid owns a computer (or parents). All the communities are full of kids now. Why do you think it is so easy to level on maplestory now. More kids will play = more cash for nexon. I miss the old days too. I'd wish I appreciated it more back then :(
Tjeliep So true... I remember the good old days of Maple too :'( the feels!
good old memories right here played this game so much
all the friends i made and hang out with them every day when i should be lvling actually
brings a tear to my eye :) good old memories i wish i could go back to the year i started playing and do it all over again
I spent so many hours jumping through those trees just exploring.
I remember back in 07 staying up all night doing KPQ's. Sigh.. the game has changed alot. Bring back the old maple story.
AC Leader & Tracker or GTFO!
I remember PQ'n xD
I still remember my first Magician... i spent days or even weeks here, doing quests and hunting in the Ellinia forest.
God, whats it been? 5 years? 7? more?
i miss it...
a tear is up in my eye when i listen to all these good old time :'(
haha, me too man! i loved old times (05-08). probaly the game i had the most fun with
yea man i was 5 i cant stand how nexon messed up the game :'( :'(
***** Sorry to tell you buy Maplestory is not the same anymore....
:(
Agreed. I spent my entire adolescence playing Maplestory, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The thing I miss the most isn't the gameplay itself, but all the memories I had playing. meeting people, reaching goals, and having fun. All that's left to do now is to close your eyes and listen to the song and let it take you back :')
can't i got windows 7 :(
As a Korean user who started to play Maplestory in the very first release of the game in 2003...I couldn't say i remember all of detailed things but many fun stuffs,processes and changes in Maplestory still remain in my memory and i know how you guys feel now.Even though i've already quitted the game 3 years ago..damn,i just miss the old maplestory and all these beautiful bgms. R.I.P maplestory and my childhood
Park Jungwoon u are korean and u dont remember? Iam ashmed of you as an western mapler get out of my sight
Are you serious? Maplestory is as old as me huh. It came out when I was one, I played it with my sister all the time when I got old enough to play computer games. I’m 17 and 18 in 5 months and my sister is 25 today. God time flies. We still play MapleLegends together so at least our bond is still there.
I played in 2003 too. The UI was very different and I think my skills were mapped to the numbers on the top row.
:( 06-09 was the best year. start playing this game when I was 12 years old. Now I'm 22. Really miss this game.
lalalillyyy me exactly. I’m 21 now started playing in 06 as well :( the feels
Good times...
it really brings a warm feel to my chest.
This song was the beginning of many adventures that sadly are over, but never forgotten. i feel sadness and joy at the same time
Damn feel...when I was a boy I would sometimes just get up early in the morning, turn on the computer, log in the game and just hang around all over Ellinia myself without no paritcular reason; just enjoying the view and listening to this wonderful piece of music constantly ringing out as I explored the fantasied wood of Ellinia was a big pleasure for a lonely soul like me. Too bad this once excellent game has went totally fucked up because of some greedy bastards in the company.
I literally got up at 5:30 am when I was little just so I could play.
I did that with Pokemon blue in the 90s at 2 am.
Doing Quest, PQ's, Meeting some weird, cool, and interesting people. Being approached by noobs asking for mesos. Or being the noob asking for mesos. Being stuck at the same level for so long.
Trolling around Henesys, Getting girlfriends, Running away from the Balrog while on the boat to Orbis. Creating a Guild, having literally 5 people only in that guild. Clicking so fast you almost break your mouse to get into PQ's. Always having someone to talk too. CH 1 FM being so laggy. A few of the friends I've made on Maplestory, we've actually talked in Real Life. Not in person but texting/talking on the phone. Going to weddings, Teaming up with higher level players so they can help you with quest, grinding so hard, you haven't even reached 50%, getting KSED, being that one guy that picks everything someone else has literally just finished dropping .. Only to find out it's nothing valuable.
Everyone just hanging out in the Henesys General Store, Always searching for an Assassin because you want Haste. Or always searching for a Cleric for Heal. Or a Warrior for Hyper Body, Not doing homework because Maplestory got in the way lol.
I played in Windia, and my first ever character was an Archer. I think the highest I got it was too 60 ? Or higher .. Not sure. Maplestory now is confusing, some places have been switched, and it's just too much to take in. It'll always be in my heart because it was a huge part of my childhood .. I'll honestly never forget .. Ever
Always come back every now and then to this. Brings back good memories about playing this game. met soooo many friends on here.
Same here man, same here.
@@TrueBeatBlazer back again lol 😄
@@izzyraj hahaha my man, I was just listening to it earlier this week. The maplesoul stays strong.
I was never a high player in this game and never really knew a lot of people in the game as well. However, I remember how filled the maps were in this game with players. Or that one place were people were farming at those slime monsters in Henesys (you had layers of monsters on top of each other) that map was always filled with players! Now, when I go back there, it's so empty...
the feels... takes me back to 2007.. :(
I started this game with my older sister when i was like five years old. That's twelve years ago, not so long after when the game first actually came out. Back then, levelling up took eternity that we didn't even pay attention to earning experience. We'd just wander around enjoying the game, and surprise, I leveled up, a bunch of excitement and goodies. People who reached level 30 used to be admired back then because it just was just that hard. I used to suck at this game so much, I died at least a million times a day (because what do you expect out of a five), but i never gave a shit because even that was fun. I once got so broke in the game i couldn't afford portions. I'd just hang on the ladders and wait for the time to heal. Back then there was no competitions because who gives a shit really.
I still remember the first time I killed an axe stump. I dealt 1 damage each blow, and almost every hit was a miss, and I just continued for some twenty minutes.
I also remember when party quests were actually fun. Not swearing at each other because of how slow a player was.
I miss this game. It had a roughness to it that made it beautiful. From fun areas like the golem pit, to the hidden streets that would surprise you with their redundancy yet immerse you.
I miss these the most : Maps that would add nothing other than a quiet area to hang out with your friends, to stop and chat, or to simply enjoy the BGM. Maps like the tree caves in Ellinia. They added so much to the feeling that you were in an open world.
I was devastated when BB patch trunkated Victoria island, and it was never the same after that.
Miss the memories I had playing this in elementary school. The OG community was insanely friendly and I made some amazing friends. I will always come back and listen to this every few years, amazing memories.
I remember the first time I came to Victory island, I was so curious about everything and too dumb to know how to do the 1st job advancement. I took the stupid vip taxi at Lith Harbor, ended up in Sleepy Wood. I tried to fight the way out but goddamnit, I couldnt't beat any horny mushrooms and evil eye's. It was so frustrating that I created a new character. This time I went for magician, but, with most of APs for strength hahahaaa Good ol' days!
Năm 2009 Maple VN thuộc Vinagame bị khai tử :((
The Ellinia bg music is probably 1 of my most favorite pieces of music from gaming, ever, and gives that nostalgic feeling of the old days...
-I remember the beta days where Perion was the marketplace and how we all fought in HHG1 over the green mushies for those 1-more-def panlids~
-Even when the game kicked off with Scania, another memorable period was the epic appearance of the Blue Moon Earrings (from Dark Leetys) after Ossy was released. They were awesome, as well as the napoleon capes & china 50 armor for Dits
I just want to go back in time and live without any worries. Becoming an adult is painful
guys, I just want to say that it is crazy how maple story has had such a big inpact on every one here. Just want to say, I havent ever played ms cuz when it came out I wasnt even born and i dont think it is worth playing it in 2019 (thats the time i found out about it, lol). But remember that a lot of its sound tracks are used in a lot of roblox games, think that its impact in feuture games wont die (I am a big fan of its sound tracks and its amazing style and it brings me nostalgia too)
God I miss the old times of this game. . . 11 years go by so fast. . played this for a good 3 to 4 years straight then came back for the Evan. . played another two years then left. damn nostalgia
Check out Mapleroyals it is a oldschool Maplestory the exp is a bit faster and they have more then 1500 people online
Missing this game sooooo much :( i loved the old maplestory so much, it was my childhood!
So nostalgic.. It feels like time just stopped a while amidst the busy and stressful worklife.
I completely feel the nostalgia that everyone is feeling when listening to Maplestory music. The entire soundtrack is so beautiful. Every time I went back to find that experience, it just wasn't the same with these Dual Blades and Luminous classes. To be completely honest, I absolutely loved the market place. It was so different from every game I ever played. What a social community. I miss it for sure
Putting this on repeat make me feel like I'm on my shitty Dell computer back in my room fighting slimes and mushrooms for hours.
Definitely the most nostalgic Maplestory ost
I remember when I was really young this guy asked to trade with me just for me to 'show' him my cool equipment and mesos, then he told me hit tab tab space enter to doubles my mesos. Lol. I lost all my stuff. Memories ❤️
Lol
The thing that i miss the most about maplestory was the boat ride to orbit where many people gathered to travel. You'd see high level players , low level players , all kind of jobs together and everyone would chat, get to know each other better and when balrog came out, we'd all run beside the high players who were pretty much considered gods to us at the time. Now they pretty much removed the friendly boat ride with all these time shortening trips.
Miss the old Victoria Island ;(
Ah, the memories. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again just for this game. Back when you could just play for hours because your maple character was you in a way. You could be yourself in this game. Whether you were a bowman, a mage, a warrior or a thief. We were all a family and it felt just like that :). Pairing up with random people, enjoying the amazing music and making new friends every day. Those were the good days, and even though they can never come back, they will never be forgotten
I was a little-ass kid when my friends told me about how great this game was.
Saying they were on a boat.
Convincing me it was pronounced 'magic ean' instead of magician. (I still mess it up in my head because of that)
We always felt real excitement and danger from going too deep in Ellinia or that forest thing. I forgot what it was called. We were convinced if we went deep enough past the drakes in some cave then there would be "legendary weapons" we could loot. We were like Lv13 and the drakes were nearly Lv70. Ellinia really felt like home.
MapleStory music triggers more emotions and memories than any other music i've ever heard.
Remember when level 12 was unheard of in our characters? People who were level 50 - 200 were legendary...
Seriously, in 2007 I spent so much time trying to level my character and when I got to lv43 I felt godlike. I went back for a bit in 2012? 2013? with an angelic buster and in a week I was lv76. Definitely lost the appeal.
I remember getting to 68 and spending nearly 6 months trying to level, GOD the grind was terrible.
But the people and the loot were what made the game what it was. Now, the people are gone and loot is worthless because you outgrow anything of "high value" for your level in a matter of minutes.
Freja K nowadays i speed level to 120 in a day for link skills but the old maple was way more fun
Goosebumps everytime I hear MS Soundtracks. Playing this in 2005. Miss those times.
I was having a Nostalgia Trip until I remember the grinding ..so much grinding.
The Old Maplestory really does bring back nostalgic memories. I remember that time when I dropped my green flowery tube (which was the sh** back in 2006) and then another user took it because I was such a noob and didn't know how to pick it back up xD. I seriously miss the times when everyone would try to climb to the top of the pet obstacle course and the times when everyone would hang out in Maya's house in Henesys (on channel 1 of course). I miss those times when only Scania, Bera, Bora, and Windia were a thing. I can honestly say that some of my closest friendships throughout my childhood were made on this game. The buddies that I made were always there for me whether I had maplestory world problems or real life world problems. It's so crazy to think that I'm going into college now and am leaving behind memories that I will always be thankful for. I thank everyone who was part of the old maplestory community (2005-2009) for some of the best childhood and online experiences in my life.
Anyone remember smuggling passes in Kerning PQ?
How could I forget it :')
Ludimbrium also 😄
Out of everything Maplestory has changed I'm so glad they've left their music the same. So nostalgic
In my first months playing this game as a high school freshman, a lot of people would call me a noob as I went by them.
+ValiantSkyRider720 they were right
+nerosonic especially a highschool freshman, but at least you're playing
still playing? nigga, i didn't even GO to the website. i just like the soundtrack here.
While I'm sure new maple has its merits, This sums it all up for me.
A world of mystery and wonder, where you never knew what was around the next corner and it was all the more satisfying making it there for all the effort.
Far more importantly, the community. You guys were amazing. Best gaming memories, wouldn't change it for the world.
i used to play maple (around 2005~2006) a lot and every time i hear a theme from maple i want to come back and play again but...its not the same...i really miss maple...not saying today maple is awful but the old one was...fun...hard to lvl up...people actually help you...good old times :'D
I used to wait at a lvl 25 quest at the harbour, with the needed materials needed. If anyone came by I asked them if they had done this quest and I would give them the materials and 50K for the reward. They were so happy! Reward was a random 60% att scroll, which I then sold off in Perion for a good 500-700K. It felt bad so I stopped doing it after a little while. Sometimes they messaged me saying it was much more worth then 50k. I would then give them 300K or so.
Nostalgia...
Sook-Ja Ahn :'(
I haven't played in years, Maplestory was a hard habit for me to kick, was excited for Maplestory 2, well that didn't go as planned. The nostalgia I'm feeling is real, realest I've ever felt. Never really understood it, only had little short lived bits of it, but this is bringing back everything I've ever felt.
Started as a Wind Archer in Scania. Cygnus Knights were semi new, that's when I first started playing. 3 days before Thanksgiving either 2009 or 2010 I had my little elemental friend, Storm by my side and nothing could go wrong! And nothing did. After Ereve I went to Ellinia and the music took me away, later on Elluel would have the same effect. I met quite a few players everyone asking me how did I get my little familiar friend, all Explorers were asking me. Couldn't help them unfortunately... Traversed my way to Perion by walking because I was clueless. Met a group of 5 friends and ultimately became their 6th member. That was short-lived however, hope they're all doing well now. Hopped around characters as well as servers. Then a year later or so Big Bang hit. My highest at the time was lv50 NW dominating in Carnival PQ.
After more server hopping I ended up making Chaos my home. Became a Wind Archer again, named it TaleOfDusk (Used Dusk a lot for a name). I did some PvP with the old Wind Archer skills and dominated with hurricane push. Eventually met a dude named IShowStopper and formed a guild, Nightcore (Didn't know it was music at the time, it just sounded like a cool word I made up). It was an okay-ish guild, not too successful, not too crummy. Got to lv120 and was hyped. Created a few more characters, but nothing was as fun as the OG Wind Archer. I'd grind for absolutely no reason besides loving Albatross, a skill that at the time it actually transformed your character and let you use special skills.
Wind Archers today cannot match up for me in terms of enjoyment. When they revamped Wind Archers, it crushed me, a class I used to love I utterly hated. Cygnus Knights can't in general due to the removal of the elemental companion skills. Granted they weren't amazing, but I never felt lonely with Storm by my side! Eventually ended up going to Extalia with IShowStopper because he was my best bud. Well he was a few years older, got a job, and we barely played. That turned into never playing, which turned into never talking... We had all these big plans to meet up when we were older. We very rarely talk now and even when we do, it's never the same.
I ended up quitting for good about a year ago. The game's progressed too far for my enjoyment, I just can't keep up unfortunately. It was my longest played game and thought I'd play till the servers went down. I've since lost my original account with TaleOfDusk. I've tried everything I could, but to no avail. I don't remember the old email password, nor have the phone I backed it up with. I contacted Nexon, but even though I was extremely knowledgeable about the account they couldn't just give me the information (understandably).
I miss you Storm and all of the other elementals. But I miss you IShowStopper and all the amazing times we used to have whether it be hanging out, or grinding, or whatever man. I've had many friends in Maplestory come and go, but nobody even close to you. My story is a lot more extensive, but aren't all our stories full of amazing and glorious detail even if we can't remember it all? What's your story?
Wasted my early life on this game now I'm back on track no regrets
I agree with you 100%. Sometimes, when I think about the old maple 3 years ago, it brings tears to my eyes. I don't think we will ever see those days again. Version 40's and 50's were the best.
stopped playing maple in 2008. was a lv40 cleric before that. Recently returned back to maple 2 months ago to continue since i graduated from school last year and had free time. was surprised victoria island was empty, almost dead and everything changed completely. became a bishop in 1weeks time which could haeve taken years to become. I did PQ after that and was surprised that people told me to see people with the original 4 jobs was VERY VERY RARE nowadays since the new overpowered jobs released and the nerfing of the original 4. party members were rude and always took advantage of me just so i can boost their exp, dun care even if i died...
so sad it had changed so much..... waiting for maple story 2 to come and hopes it fixes it all and bring back to its roots...
not true,all classes r OP now , its all about mesos
I was a 46 - 52 cleric. I stopped right around 08 when a update changed that year . It was where a big cake came in some event to drop rare Maple gear . However, by then, i stopped playing as there were other interests during those times.
Probably one of my favourite soundtracks of Maplestory... brings back the memories.
Remember just wasting time in this area cuz the music was so good
Goddammit! The nostalgia. Could probably die from the overdose. Back then when I was a noob magician with no mesos, the mana pots were too expensive. Had to wait for auto recovery while I hit the slimes for 1 and 2 damage with the beginner's wand. Good old times with good old community, makes your heart all heavy F4.
It has been some time eh?
oh man this brings me back. was playing MS since my first couple years of grade-school. crazy that so much time has passed.
I used to agree that Maplestory isn't as good as it used to be, but after realizing how many people said it sucked after 2008-2009... I realized that I began playing in 2008, and that's when I got addicted to it.
So, it might not even be that it truly "sucks" it's just simply a bit different, and no one likes the changes..
My only thing is that the community is much quieter so gaming is less fun in general :\
I didn't really play runescape, but I'm glad you guys got such a great opportunity. Reading their posts I can tell Jagex really cares about what the players want. I wonder if the original maplestory creators would ever be able to do the same and bring back the old school MS.
The song is heartwarming to me.
thunder1721 Wow surprised to see you here.
maplestory - a word that comes to my heart within joy and excitement...we all hold on to maplestory because we connect to it and never forget the leveling, adventures, excitements, places, friends, and even scams, trades...we are the ones who keep the maple spirit within us, no one can destroy this...but those of us from 2005-06 - we are the history of maple in which that made us believe that maplestory was the key to joy and love. we r the future and past of maplestory... hold on to it with luv
love when 1:22 kicks in
Me too!
Agreed
Gosh, i spent so much time in this game. I haven't played in a long time... I was having a rough day and just turned this on out of the blue... it's brought back so many good memories... the community, the effort I put into this game. It was so great, now... Now i can't even force myself to get on... I miss you old maplestory. Take me back to flawed beta on tespia server.. I'll take that over what it's become anyday.
Times when those people with balls will fight barlog otw to orbis. nostalgic :(
Gosh this brings back so many memories, I remember when I first started playing this game i decided my character would be a mage when I got to ellinia I met someone and this person bought me all kinds of weapons and armor and he said I was good to go. I would never forget that.
R> LUDI PQ 45+ GOT TRACK AND AC
My mom always thought Maplestory was a waste of time but I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.
Memories
Jesus the nostalgia. I was raised with Maplestory even before I properly understood how the game worked. When I was little I would watch my older brother play the game while it was in beta, and after awhile (and I think after the game exited beta) of watching he set me up with my own account. From there I'd been playing since, after I stopped about 4 or 5 years ago, but I still get on every anniversary. Honestly I believe it and Runescape held some of the largest impacts on my childhood, mostly since I dumped God knows how many hours into each. Can't wait for Maplestory 2!!!
i played this since i was 6 (2006) and today is 2014 means i am 14 and i really want to keep playing it but my mom does not let me play it cause she thinks it has viruses... (sucks to be me)
Trust me when I say you don't wanna go back to playing it. It sucks, but they added about 15-20 new classes. It's all about godly equipment now and who can be better than anyone else, not just leveling up to 200. That's the main reason why I quit.
If you still wanna play it though, it has no viruses whatsoever, I can assure you. I've tested it on several machines, and it has no viruses. You have a computer builder's word.
Maplestory, though it has lost a lot of what made it a great game, everything that's been added is still amazing
yeah me too i play when i was 6 or 7 then i mother said my math is very bad she call meh not to play but i didnt study hard for my math but it i snot maple fault
I'm 16.
Pluto P Guys? GUYS! He's 16! I've set out on a quest all over the world to find someone who is 16! When I read these two words in that combination, I firstly thought I had misread. 16 year olds nowadays are such rare creatures, and my only dream in life was to find one in it's natural habitat. Now that my life is complete I have no idea what to do, I devoted all my years on this planet to find such a majestic specimen. What should I do now guys? Any ideas for a new hobby?
Easily the most influential game in my life. I still talk to a few of my old mapling buddies. One recently had a kid. Two got married (not together lol) a few years ago. :) We played together online together over a decade ago and we never even met in person yet. I was a low level cleric when I met them. Spent all my mesos I saved up to open my guild that only ever held my friends. I still think about MapleStory often. I play in a private server now and it sorta captures the feel but I'll never have that one particular summer again. And that's fine. It'll stay as one of my most cherished memories regardless!
The problem isn't the game now, its the community, people become, idk....
Nah, it's the game.
Why. because you actually can reach 4th job?
ProjectRocket If you played prebb, you'd know everything is fucking shit now.
How come you say I didn't played before bb? I hated bb man.
I hated the patch, we move on, Other patches repair the game, idiot problem is, people are idiots like you man.
Man, good old days. Haven’t played this in years! The song is amazing
Good ol' MS. MTS harmed it but it was okay. Potential System completely killed maple.
The nostalgia train goes round and round... *tear*
MS was a grindfest, but it was fun when I started at about the age of 15.
Long live the private servers!!!
Preach.
not the same though
nah its just not the same
This is sound is classic. Maplestory was my childhood. It was like you were in another world. I will forver remember this game. My friends, My guild, My Characters, the old maps , everything was magical. The party quest, everything.
This piece is still in the game. Why are people complaining? If you really wanna complain about something, complain about RuneScape removing some of their original soundtracks in the game (which I don't really care about). Hell, I bet most of the people commenting in this video were born in the 20's and that must be the reason they have a weird definition of nostalgia. If you really miss this game, go play it and stop complaining. Just because it has more players, quests, less glitches, more places, and it's not impossible to level like before, doesn't mean it is bad.
PS, kiddos: This is a piece, or simply call it soundtrack. A song is when someone sings; stop calling this a song.
The game is no longer as fun as it used to be. It's no longer about making friends and socializing. It's about spending your money to maximize your uber DPS.
The fact that it took forever to level was actually a pretty one of the game's strengths. Sure, it sucked ass that it took forever to level, but the slower pace made it better to make friends and socialize. Doing party quests was a good way to meet new people and get good exp. First time I played, by the time I reached level 70 after a year, I had like 100 friends. When I played the game again as a new class, I got to level 150 in 3 months and had like 20 friends.
-Commented about my reminiscence
-Didn't have 1 complaint
-Referred to this as a piece of music; gg Release new class more OP than the rest + add another Cash shop damage stat value to gear, somehow.
For me, this is nostalgic because here, in Brazil, our server was closed in august in 2011 and I was 11 years old, playing since 9 years old... It was part of my childhood.
Well how did you know i was born in the 20s its my 94th birthday you little whiper shnapper
InGameVetroid Too bad you can't even read, rofl.
I think I speak for everybody watching this video when I say Maple Story marked my childhood and I will always remember the fun I had playing this game with my friends. I stopped playing over 3 years ago but hearing this makes me want to go back. Unfortunately, I know it wouldn't be the same even if I did. I just want to go back in time for an hour to remember just how cool mapling was. Nostalgia!!!!!
miss the old maple... the new totally and completely suck!
I agree man, I was 13... 7 years ago. Unbelievable how time flies by and the memories that I get flashing into my brain when I hear this music
Love this song. I still remember coming here as a newbie and getting my first job. Ah.. good times... So much fun...
Fuck man, as someone who hasnt enjoyed life since 2010, this brings me back to 2006/2007, when life was good. I miss this game so much...
You summed it up very well... Im proud... :c
This touched my heart.
This brings back SO many memories...
I used to be a warrior, but this was my favorite town-map in the game. I just loved it f4
I spent so many years playing this, I remember the Kerning PQ's and the frustration training the newbie to sat on the correct box.. the excitement of starting ludi PQ's and being absolutely useless.. I started playing 12 years ago as a child and left in 2010... And today I'm a 23 year old fire fighter. And I can truly say my life has never had so much excitement and thrill as the days I played MapleStory..
IGN - Pshhh
Peace
i remember when i'm not in mood or whatever, everytime i sit down in some of my favourite places and the precious music in maple, i can always calm down.
For 3 minutes and 8 secs... I'm back in high school again. Waking up early Saturday morning and playing Maple Story.
Look how old we've all gotten.. dang, time flies...
Lol this reminds me of my 1st Magician. Was an I/L and I was so proud when i got it to lvl 30. And it also remids me of when everyone went on the ship and how no one could fight Balrog
