People who've been here from the start quitting?

I agree with the invisible guy, there's sun outside now.
We must take advantage of the summer time

 

i havent been able to get on the past week or 2 .. illl try to be back asap tho.. sorry mates

 

I think managing the time spent grinding will always be the key to enjoying Maplestory I know this because if I over-grind, I just get demotivated and end up quitting. Too much grinding=boring

 

I agree that over grinding makes the game boring. But I really want to he a bishop. So... can't really win here.

 

Im still here. Since January. Ive been taking time out to fix my life and other issues. Idk about the lack of things to do... im still a low level and Im slow paced, but half of this game to me is the interactive, social enjoyment. So ill be here for a long time.

 

I've been around here on and off since December, and just started playing frequently again this past week. To me, there's always going to be stuff to do in game, but I'm still not near end-game, apart from back in BETA. The thing that shows me something, is if you ask any of the people leaving here where they're going, it's mainly to another game / taking a break from Maple. None of the people leaving are really going to another server, which shows something in itself I think. Maple is one of those games where you play too much of it, you get sick of it, and I think there's nothing that can solve that other than time away from the game, in my honest opinion. Of course, I still think adding little things here and there to spice the gameplay up without splitting away from the roots of this server are good.

 

But somehow, you still keep it fun

 

I've been voting everyday and saving up NX, planning on building a huge amount of scrolls, and gach equips, then mass selling everything at once.

 

Yeah. The old maple is was fun because there were so many other elements that the droves of players brought to the table. On private servers people seem too caught up with leveling. Just look at how many third/fourth jobbers there already are on here. Part of the reason IMO is the 2x exp, but that's another can of worms in itself.

And yes, terraria is life... 38 hours played of it in the last 5 days

 

If there wasn't 2x experience I'd be caught up on leveling but having a harder time, haha. New gms is very easy to level yet many people still play. I agree that 1x old time server was indeed very social because people spent a long time leveling and hanging out, but it doesn't mean you cannot hang out and have fun with 2x.

 

Honestly, if upgrading to v.83 would make a lot of things easier, why don't we do it? Is it because of the whole nostalgia theme of the server? V.83 is still pretty nostalgic for a lot of people..

 

Fair enough

 

Kim, what do u plan on doing when a majority of your player base hits end game and the only thing they can do is grind skels.Are there new grinding places forseeable in the future to spread out placea to grind? Are there more bosses, and most importantly, pq's to keep a large player base satisfied in terms of the leveling and social aspects of the game that they so desire? Aka makiing leveling fun and creating social bomds through teamwork.

I feel like a lot of the players in this game tend to drop off in this game after lpq. And alot of the playerbase gets tired of repetitice grinding in one location for long periods of time because it's most effecient. I know you want to stick strictly to v.62 but I think custom content would satisfy the new feeling for this game all the while keeping players from getting burned out.

 

ToT is coming out at one point, that should really help improve the current situation.

Also hoping to see new events to change it up now and then!

 

Well, you better hit that NLC gacha for the WhiteScrolls
