I quit maplestory a year ago after playing since pre-big bang, and I'm looking for a nice server with no pay2win status, the problem is that i no longer have friends that play maplestory. Is it worth it to start playing on this server with no friends?
Yeah. The criteria you're looking for are met here (no pay2win, pre-BB), and with the big community here, you'll have no hard time making some new friends along the way, as long as you join a guild. You can apply or ask to join guilds on the Guilds section of the forum, too, to make it even easier. Making money and leveling also isn't too hard with the meso drop rate, free daily NX (8k), with which you can buy AP resets that sell for 11m each or gachapon tickets (they're LV. 50+, beware) or anything else, so starting isn't hard at all, even without any support from others.
