Official GMS "Classic Server"... thoughts?

Will Classic World get Pink Bean first?

 

i think i will try it to see if is the classic world is good or or not but i don't give my hope up so much. mostly because most maps will look different.

 

I'm most apprehensive about having to pay real money for NX again, especially since those items will likely expire and won't be tradeable and my money is better spent on real life as I'm not 12 anymore. No more mowing lawns for $20 and a trip to Rite-Aid. Rule enforcement here is amazing. The tight-knit community here is amazing. This server has been running for longer than OSMS's original run. You can tell they really REALLY care about this server. I have my doubts that Nexon will show the same love and care for their official implementation. I am looking forward to trying the Official GMS Classic server to re-experience a highly populated Maple. That's about it. Otherwise I really prefer Royals over the original OSMS. I can always play on Kat's server if I really want a more authentic experience. But that being said some part of me is still excited that an official version will exist again. Definitely gonna play it, but if I stick around is another story. A MAPLE STORY. Thanks for reading!

 

I started maplestory in the beta days and let me tell you. No one actually wants 1x rates lmao. Even in the days where i had no responsibilities the progress felt slow. Now that the players that Classic would appeal to are adults and have limited time they arent going to be able to stick with it. As someone else said they'll get their nostalgia fix and realize they cant keep up with that anymore.

The potential is still there of course if they can strike a good balance of bringing the classic feel while also making alot of QOL changes. If they actually stick close to a 1 to 1 experience though I doubt its going to be all that successful. And if they ever introduce Gacha and especially Item potentials again then its the beginning of the end all over again which seems exremely likely

 

I want to see the old zones populated with tons of players, so I'll probably play it for the first couple weeks after launch. Then I'll just switch back to Royals.

 

Yea they will probably have pink bean first and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. But this if the exp rates are the same who wants to do that over again? Most of us are adults and don’t nearly have as much free time as we used too. I think people played more when big bang was released and the exp curve was adjusted and made achievable. I don’t think it will be nearly as popular as what WoW was or OSRS.

 

It will be interesting to see what they do with classic since they're adding new maps and mobs, and it looks like some of the skills are changing. I don't think they'll bring back HP washing, but if they did, it would be interesting if they made AP resets a dropped item instead of using NX.
