1. Which year did you join MapleLegends?

2018

2. How did you found/learn (about) MapleLegends?

Gtop100 and Liny(BangHero)'s YouTube channel

3. What were your expectations going into playing MapleLegends?

Old school MapleStory, classic 5 major classes, social & community

4. What made you continue playing?

The community and friendship made here.
Nostalgia and the content of this game.

5. Do you have any goals that keep you going?

• T10 ring (finished)
• Level 200
• Perfect +7 weapon
• Try different classes

6. What do you like about MapleLegends (feature, content, etc)?

• Friendly community
• No Vote2Win content (except HP washing)
• Free cosmetics
• Low Rate
• HD client, few bugs (no GFX)
• FM button & Permanent merchants
• Contents from many regions (GMS/KMS/CMS/MapleSea...)
• Allow public VPN

7. Your least favourite thing about MapleLegends? (feature, content, etc)?

• HP washing
  • stops new players coming
  • causes class imbalance
• The economy
  • inflation (cs/ws price is doubled in 2024 compared to 2021)
  • small market (not enough items available in the market)

8. Compared to when you joined, do you think the server has improved?

Yes, in many cases. Thanks for all staffs and the community.

9. What would you really like to see added or changed in MapleLegends?

• Buff HP challenge system
  The HP challenge system is a good remedy to HP washing.
  But it's not good enough compared to traditional HP washing (with higher limit & free NX).
  Maybe add a repeatable (but hard) quest to allow players who chose the new system to gain more HP in a slow pace.
• More cleave content at bossing
  Instead of buffing melee classes directly, we could try adding more cleave content in bossing.
  For a 6 men party, make [1 cleave + 4 ranged] > [5 ranged] = [2 cleave + 3 ranged].
  For example, maybe buff HT wing/hand HP while reduce pre-head HP?

10. Anything else you would like to mention?

I have a great time playing MapleLegends, thanks everyone in the community

 

1. Which year did you join MapleLegends?

2024

2. How did you found/learn (about) MapleLegends?

Stumbled upon it when I typed "Old Maple Story was better" in my browser.

3. What were your expectations going into playing MapleLegends?

I expected an even older Maple. Without pirates. But this one is good.

4. What made you continue playing?

It's fun.

5. Do you have any goals that keep you going?

I would like to try getting all the jobs to level 200 someday. But I have a life.

6. What do you like about MapleLegends (feature, content, etc)?

The "simple yet satisfying" aspect. Gach tickets from mobs. The community. The moderators. The "frozen in time at the right time" aspect.

7. Your least favourite thing about MapleLegends? (feature, content, etc)?

Washing. I have read about your HP bonuses for unwashed players. It's an improvement, but washing is really OCD. Not my cup of tea.

8. Compared to when you joined, do you think the server has improved?

I just joined this month, so...yes. The server has improved because Munk7 is here!

9. What would you really like to see added or changed in MapleLegends?

A lot, actually. Legends is great, but it retains almost all the critical flaws of oldschool Maple. Such as unbalanced use of AP, unbalanced/useless skills, many useless/waste of time quests, and unbalanced/useless equipment.

My recommended changes include:
1. Adding AP points to HP/MP should give a much larger increase. This would allow 3 possible builds: Unwashed and unboosted direct HP build, unwashed and boosted HP build, and OCD washed build. To each their own. Enjoy your build. Don't rage quit because you built your character wrong and no one accepts you in a party because you didn't have the game's internal mechanics memorized.
2. Each skill should be viable. If I want to max Holy Arrow, it should be a viable build. Do whatever it takes to balance skills. Change damage, st/mt, mp cost, points needed to max, etc. Think outside the box.
3. The extra exp from quests is great, but many of them are still a waste of time. Perhaps make quests more about mesos and rare rewards? Getting random job-specific equips from quests would be great. How about getting random job-specific scrolls from quests too? And gach tickets? Make players WANT to do quests. There needs to be an element of surprise involved. If anything, gach tickets as quest rewards is perfect. Perhaps reduce the rate of gach drops to compensate.
4. Balance equipment types. Why use blunt weapons when swords are objectively better in every way?

10. Anything else you would like to mention?

Despite my long list of suggested changes, you guys have done a great job with this server. It's really the best Maple server I've seen. I have been reading the forums to get an idea of what kind of drama goes on here, and it's very well ran and drama-free. I like the changes you've made with the game, but I'm also expecting improvement.

Thanks for the great server and I look forward to many fun days ahead!
