What is you highest lever character, what world its in and what its job is.

Miisuto, lvl 96, Demethos, Marauder, I haven't played in over a year. The game got a bit ridiculous, and I've been told getting to the level that took me months now takes less than a week. I quit when they started undermining long-time players like this, especially with new classes (starting with Aran) that just own the shit out of any old classes. I don't see a point in continuing when they're just going to pull that shit every other patch.

Best Maplestory thread out of all 4.

Breadiy, lvl 78 Chief Bandit /Thieves are too awesome.

Arcania FTW! (Just because Scania's too backed up and laggy.)

The game now is too ridiculously easy. I was lvl 145 on my Evan and it was hacked. I got to lvl 78 within a 4 days or so during break, it was really sad.

Also, Mercedes are whores. They always KS me, those damn elves. I liked the days where being a cleric made you the #1 when recruiting for PQ. Now, you don't need to heal when you can kill the boss within 2 minutes

Cough, noobs.

That awkward moment where I have never finished a character, and left it alone for months, just to start over completely, and start a new one, again.

I've played off and on, highest is level 171 Mercedes: ElvenTails

I heard Nexon has completely annihilated any semblance of balance this game may have once held - that it's now not that hard to hit max level and all the new classes are so broken that they can solo bosses that once took 20 people, in record time.

I have no intention of ever touching this game again. I am disappointed in the direction nexon continually takes with it, as is my friend (level 170 before major patches, now 200 because it was disappointingly trivial).

Level 90 Class Dawn Warrior World Khanhi.. I agree with >>6 the dawnwarrior I have now got to lvl90 in days I kinda miss the days when it was the four jobs now the new class level up fast and just kill steal I feel bad about admitting I own a dawn warrior because of the unfairness so I gave up on the game as well

Lvl 177 Bishop Bello Bishop pride! lol

130something Shadower Winda

>>7 It was at least somewhat fun while it lasted.

It was just declining from a high point around the time I quit - there were new classes, but they weren't exactly completely overpowered, and it was plausible to play any class you wanted. They were all unique in some way, and the only imbalanced part was that NX was almost a necessity to level efficiently.

I heard that now the new classes are just absolutely broken. They have all the traits of the old classes, except they're just flat-out better in every way. And they sometimes combine the uses of other classes, making it pointless to play either of the classes they emulate.

I wonder if anyone hosts private servers pre-big bang patch? I'm still not going back to it, but I wonder if the sentiment is common.

Im pretty sure a few do exist but i dont really see a reason to leave global.
I love the new classes so far plus their also revamping all of the old classes as well to even it out a bit. Thief/Pirate revamp should be in may then their releasing the phantom class sometime around june.
And of course the other thing is im a shadower so it really does make sense that i would like post BB maple more since we got flash jump and shadow partner, and on that note their removing the need for summoning stones after the revamp. tho the downside is that their removing band of thieves and giving night lords a simmilar skill called shade split.

>>10 Yup, Nexon's hit rock bottom for Maplestory. There's a dual blade class that requires you to purchase NX skill books, it's pretty ridiculous.

>>11 Duuude, Shadowers are FANTASTIC. Though the new skills are nice, I kind of enjoyed the old system. Everybody had a place in parties and quests, not to mention each class was special :<

..And they didn't remove Band of Thieves. It's a tier 3 skill and I had it on my Chief Bandit. And I have no idea about that last skill.
