When was the last time you seriously had fun playing MapleStory?

Back in the old days, now everything is "I'm stronger! moneymoneymoneymoney"

That's probably why I don't level anylonger. Waste of time, why bother playing a game with no fun, earning USELESS levels? Sure, seeing the flashy moves is nice and all, but really, what does it accomplish? I'd rather have fun then spend my time doing something useless.

Which is why I get ticked off when people say I am unable to level because I suck? No, it's just because I see no point in it, I've already achieved the final job advancement, I'm happy with that. I can level just as fast as anyone else, if I WANTED too.

MapleStory isn't fun anymore.

maple has its "fun" times every so often (2-3 times per week) I enjoy getting those last few wins in cpq to lvl 50 and the last 10% to lvl at hoodoos and just doing those "easy" noob quests on my priest

only problem is that lvling has slowed too much for me to get to the fun parts, everything costs way too much (big hopes for mass deflations with CW), and only quests i have left are long go here or collect 900 mateon tentacles/too high lvl quests for a solo priest

When I was APQing with friends, we only had to get one random person and that ended up being a guild member of someone in the party already. It was nice and relaxed, and we could talk. Just hanging out with friends is fun for me, I don't necessarily have to train.

Yesterday I did my first ariant PQ on my lvl 23 bowman in khaini =D
Wowwww its even more fun than CPQ lol. I wish bowmen weren't so weak for 1st job cause its kind of hard to win .

Also, I browsed khaini's FM for a little bit last night too. Everything there is cheaper than scania, except the skill books which are alot more expensive. I can't wait until my server xfer to khaini is finished =D. Marketting khaini is gonna be sweeeeeeet. Cheap stuff XD

2 years ago

Before everything was about getting richer

Everytime I talk to friends really, Or everytime I level which doesnt happen alot, and of course.. Bossing

i enjoy the game every time i get to play it...being away for a year i can barely play more than a couple times per month but iam never missing those. The secret of having fun is not being addicted.

Yes Stef <333

If im not having fun, I get off. But the last time I was excited to be playing was my last speed pap run I was goin for. Trying new techniques and trying to get under a 10minute pap is a challenge for me...4 minutes yet to drop.

Failed and barely successful Zakum runs were fun because they were a challenge. Pap was fun when the bombs did like a crapload. That was two years ago, though.

I used to be "hooked" to maple story many many hours a day, but since about the time leafre as released the game just got SUPER boring to me, i stopped training, weck i rarely play the game anymore.

I really only play for big periods of time now when there is new content, thats the only thingh that keeps me in the game , exploring new places, doing new quests.

I started playing this game because i love the game style, 2d pixel looking, and also because im an old-scholl gamer, i dont know if it was because of being a maple story newb back then but the game seemed so much fun in the beggining right now the in-game communitty is way to serious and un-fun , the game to me just lost all its charm, its sad because i really like the game its just that the population/society of the game makes the gameplay really un-fun/boring with all the rules made by big groups, scammers, hackers, underaged kids being complete jerks, power strougles and drama between players/guilds , there is so many negative thinghs right now

All this being said, im really excited about Masteria, its a 100% new place, that NO ONE outside Nexon as seen and im expecting great thinghs from them i really hope they are up to the task with this, next patch was set the players expectations very high myself included, maybe they can get me and some other older/bored players into the game again.

I'd have to say that MapleStory had always been boring for me game-wise, the only reason I was staying would have been my guild and friends. I hated training and couldn't grind for longer than thirty minutes. Why should I play a game that I don't enjoy playing? Well, since private servers were out it seemed even more foolish to keep playing. I'm a retired level 87 I/L Mage, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Of course, it's always nice to see new stuff, which keeps me constantly active on those forums.
But it's over with this game for me, as far as I care.
My life is much happier now, I can find new stuff to do... It's exciting. More time to meet with friends, get in shape, perhaps even play some other games... The one thing Maple has taught me is to not get addicted to anything. And also, always use Magic Guard after Papulatus dispels you (had to get the tough lesson for that one).

The last time I've had some really good fun was probably around Level 70.
I'm a Beginner and it was alright maybe up 'til Level 75, but after that it was a little pointless.
I was doing the same things day in and day out.
I did enjoy it though, but I was limited.
Right now I somehow mananged to Level 81, but I'd seriously have to just leech if I want to keep my progress up.

every day. otherwise id be one of those idiots that play the game for no reason at all. if maple isnt fun, quit.

Hm, interesting responses.

I was under the impression that dissatisfaction with Nexon's performance (causing lack of fun) in general was more widespread, but it seems from this result set that such is not the case. Whether or not that applies to the majority of the populace, I'm not sure.

(Off topic : I love my freaking user title.)

On topic :
I only did back in 2005, back when it was enjoyable. x.x

to me, Nexon's performance makes me angry sometimes, but makes the game that much more interesting. If everything was perfect and nothing went wrong; we wouldnt have much to talk about eh? lol.

Hm, probably one of the best/though provoking maplestory-related (haaa) topics I've seen in a while. My mapling experience has always been very inclusive & it's probably been more "fun" that way, just because I rarely deal with the idiots/hackers/nexon stupidities. There's only been a few incidents of massive hacking breakouts that have managed to turn me away from MS, most recently the PG guard hacks and even before that the widespread hacking at vikings during wizet's stint, but I actually found that tolerable. Some of my favorite mapling experiences have been very friend-centric--I actually found training fun with 6-person viking & (when they came out) squid parties. Just waiting in anticipation of new "high level" material, ie...getting zakum & aqua dungeon, waiting for 4th job/leafre, horntail, etc was also enjoyable, in retrospect.

Sometimes I've played MS way too much, and other times way too little...but I've never regretted the experience. <3

(end reflective sentimental rant)

Last time I had fun was when I first got my own genesis.
Even though it was much weaker than my friends, it was my own.

But now, a lot of my friends are quitting or not on as often and it just seems pointless to play.

About 60 levels ago. I quit at 120. Lol...

uhhmm I guess before I underwent 2nd job advancement. (ie level 30 and under)
I dunno why but after you reach 30, things starts getting a little dull...
