EDIT: Forgot that I can't post anything related to MapleStory here. Well, this isn't entirely about the game so whatever

For a reintroduction, my name is Alex. I'm not sure what subforum would be appropriate for me to create this thread, so here I am!
First of all, I want to make it clear that I know I'm a nobody here. Majority of you probably don't remember me, but I'm posting here to reconnect with my past; I'm forever grateful that I grew up with MapleTip. I feel there's always "I'm back!" or "Is MapleTip dead?" threads, so I apologize if I'm contributing more spam.

Reading some threads and posts from 3-4 years ago made me want to tear up. It was depressing to see the decline of MT users over the years, including a lot of the regulars here (you know who you are). I don't recall being pals with any of the staff here except Blu3Snail. I vaguely remember contributing to the MapleStory database with him as a Library Moderator. I still don't know if that status had some importance back then, haha. He's still on my Steam friends list, but I haven't talked to him in years.
Also, what ever happened to Haeleonis?

It's funny because after all this time being around MapleTip, I still haven't befriended Ocean/Life/Stephen (don't know what to call the admin).

EDIT: All this information about my past isn't fabricated, but this is how I remember it. Just had to point that out

Now, a brief summary of my MapleStory life (you can skip this part if you want)

• Created one of my first characters in Scania. "Medicga" was originally supposed to be my Cleric, but I was convinced I/L mages were better at the time
• Met a female archer, ended up creating a long distance relationship with her (don't ask, I was hopeless and young)
• She was a pretty hot Asian girl. I would webcam with her over MSN. She stripped for me, and was like 3 years older than me
• Found out how psycho she was later on, and ended my mage's career at level 40. I had a previous account, but it wasn't memorable.

And then...

• Migrated to Khaini when it first came out. Created my Assassin (I'm not posting his name, because I have a feeling I'm going to regret it one day)
• Did KPQ all day, met a couple new friends who ended up being one of my permanent LPQ friends
• Did LPQ all day from level 35 to 50
• During my journey from level 35 to 50, I so happen to meet ANOTHER psycho Bandit girl. She was decent looking
• Joined her guild and got free gear
• Another webcam stripper
• She hacked my MSN account and spoke to all my real life friends. I didn't even give her my password to anything (MapleStory and MSN had the same password)
• Ditched my Assassin at level 54 when I realized how tedious grinding could was without LPQ

Only a couple people knew, but my dark days began.

• Created a Dragon Knight and Chief Bandit with "hacks" (characters will not be named, for I am somewhat ashamed)
• Got both characters over level 100, grinded at Vikings all day
• I've never gotten banned
• Worked with a notorious Khaini hacker
• Assisted in the creation of a trainer
• OH, get this! I ran into the psycho Bandit girl from pure coincidence (joined a hacker guild and saw her name). Turns out she became a script kiddie for the same reason I quit my Assassin.
• Hacker friend gets perma-banned, I disappear from MapleStory because it got boring

Of course I'm not going to name the hacks and methods used, I assume the forums still abide by the rules.

I recall there was a MT drop Christmas event in Khaini (not sure where this fits in the timeline)

• Dropped a lot of my equipment without actually being one of the "droppers" in the event

By this time I gave real life a try, and before you know it I quit everything MapleStory related (MT, MSN, etc).

Despite MapleStory being easy mode now, I started playing again on the Arcania server. I'm striving to be one of the top Arans there, but it doesn't help that all these Mechanics and Wild Hunters dominate. It also doesn't help that Arans are currently underpowered, but I'll be around for Chaos patch.
Actually, they should call it MechStory with another Big Bang! This time everything disappears except CPQ, Scarecrows, Jesters and MP3 looooooool!
I think above all, the most I miss about MapleStory was when LPQ first came out. I don't even know what to say about it now.

So what's been going on the past couple years?

inb4 cool story bro and wrong forum

Why are all my posts gone? I don't remember anything. What's up?

You know what these forums need? Some drama!

So, let's bicker about things that don't matter! Gang up on a single member for no other reason than "he's weird". Treat hacking in the game like it's a crime on the same level as genocide!

Go go go!

EDIT (windchill):
tell us anything you want to tell us about yourself such as your name, age, interests, hobbies, other games or types of games you like to play, where you live, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well, very simple, since i fell as though all of us on mapletip are one big family ( ) i fell like we should know each others real names! ( )

My name is Jason!!!

you dont have to put your name or anything, you can also put what you would like to be called!

call me POOP, or Jason, or J-Man, or J, or POOP, or Jason, or J-Man, or J, or POOP,or Jason, or J-Man, or J, or POOP

oh sorry, kinda shut off my brain for a second, only happends when i go for 3 or more days without maple!

Hey guys. Long time no see. Recently, I've been wanting to play Maplestory again. It's probably a combination of that Big Bang thing, that MT private server that fell apart last year, and a desire to do something different (I consider all the new stuff they've added as making the game different now). The biggest factor is curiousity; I wanna see how the game's changed. Aaaaaaaand to see everyone again. We all know, however, that Maplestory can be pretty fail without friends or anyone you know. I was wondering if anyone else wanted to come back to the game as well. I was thinking that we could all join one server (preferably a new one so we all get a blank slate), make a guild, blah blah blah. Does anyone wanna try this with me?

We wouldn't be starting immediately. I know that some people still lurk around here, so I'd like to give them the chance to find this topic. I'd wait for awhile, see who says they'd like to try Maplestory again, then state a date when we could all start playing by. If you're interested in playing Maplestory again, lemme know. It'd be nice to see if we can get some friends to play together.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Just a little challenge that I thought up.

Self explanatory, really.

Mine:

Endless Grinding For The Lulz.

Our very friendly Maplestory Community Manager is letting you, the community, ask questions! He will answer your questions if he can.

So, ask any questions about Maplestory. But, there are limitations:

Rules

1. You can ask any question as long as it is not related to anything that would be deemed company confidential information.
2. No flaming Nexon here, if you want to flame, give them an email.
3. No spam! It will be deleted without notice!
4. Be respectful and also, please type formally. This means typing in a way so that our frindly Nexon community manager will be able to read with ease.
5. Some questions may not be answered, that is because it is probably forbidden to answer that question because of company policy.

Have fun guys, Nexon is there for us.

Life

Just something I was wondering about. And those of you who picked the last choice, no shame...
15 years old here.

So, let's say if I was out violently killing evil henchmen, and I got blood on a Kabuki outfit, how would I clean it? I can't exactly take off the clothes and wash them, because it's less changing my clothes and more of a transformation.

...because for some odd reason, I have below -100 rep. lolol

Now I'm wondering... who could do such a trollish and cowardly thing? I find that the person or people behind it only targeted my MapleStory blog posts and topics in SC, so... I dunno lol

I decided to post the topic about what you guys got during Christmas Eve/Day.

I got the total of 10 presents this year. You'll see the heat protection gloves on the new post.



Updated.

Anyways, post what presents you got during this upcoming year.

Embarrassing, bad, lame, whatevz. Pretend we're all Catholic and confess ur hart outs.


1. I play travian.
2. When I buy ice cream I eat the whole half gallon tub in like 2 days. Small bowls are for pansies.

Here's a chance to vote for your favorite Party Quest.
Personally mine is Monster Carnival PQ. It was always good fun for me. I got really awesome at it by the time I was level 50, I always used to summon Master Chronos and Avoid Up or Cancel Wep Attack.
Can't wait to get my Dawn Warrior up to level 30 so I can enjoy it again.
Fond memories ~

Be sure to post explaining your reasons behind choosing!

EDIT: Added more poll choices. - Maria

Hey everyone,

I have no idea what MT is like nowadays but about six years back, I pretty much spent my life here.

I don't expect anyone still on to remember but I vaguely recall my user being something along the lines of "AznKen" or "FrozKen" or something like that. I also remember being one of the VERY FEW people from MapleSEA that actually posted on here. At that time, there was a market place for all the different worlds and I was a market moderator for Aquila, Bootes, and Cassiopeia. (Though I didn't really do anything and I'm still not sure what I was supposed to do.)

It was a fantastic community, and I wasn't the most popular or prominent poster but it was still a fun place where everyone could feel welcome.

Then, I got banned because I wasn't 13 yet and was technically unable to post on a forum. It was pretty depressing but yeah, I moved on and decided to give reality a try.

Two years down the road though and I created this new account just to drop by and say hi to everyone. Plenty of the MT veterans were still around at that time but it just felt all different and stuff. It was still wayyyyy more lively than now though, which is actually pretty sad. This is actually my first time visiting the place since 2008.

I actually do have some of the older MT users on my Facebook and earlier today, one of their profiles just popped up on my feed and brought back all the nostalgia. It really got me wondering what the likes of Mr Simpson, Kasi, EcksDee, Therealtahu, and Tichondrius are up to nowadays, even if I didn't really know them that well back then.

Anyway, I'm 18 right now and in two years I'll be heading into the army (Conscription is compulsory in Singapore meh.) and after that I guess I'll be a full-fledged working adult.

In a nutshell, I just wanted to give a shoutout to this place and whoever remains for being a big, sometimes unhealthy, part of my childhood.

For those who knew me, drop me a PM and we can catch up over Facebook or something. Or even if you didn't but was from the same 'era' as I am, drop me a PM anyway. It'd be nice to have SOME remnants of my pre-teen life left to help with adjusting to adulthood.

I was 15 when I voted and now I'm 18.

Is it possible to run a private server that only has content up to say.. Ossyria? Or even just what Beta had?

If it is, and if you know how to run such a server, I'd love it for you to get ahold of me because I have a pretty cool idea to get some people interested in this game again. The only thing is.. with all the 2x exp stuff out, and the way Nexon turned a game that was great because of its simplicity and tried to turn it into something complex.. it's just not as fun as it used to be.

EDIT:

Now that my questions have been answered, I'm excited to say TespiaMS is going to happen. See the next pages for discussion on the subject, and my thread in Official Members seeking old MT members.

Let's do this!

Edit:

Didn't get it rolling the first time; but can we make it happen?

Not sure if this should've been posted in the technology board? Definitely want to become a regular poster on here, but I can't really run the game.

Now, I've tried to get this game to run in the past, and the issue I believe has stemmed from having to do a system restore. The motherboard's OS was originally Windows Vista, which I BELIEVE ran Maplestory beautifully with little to no lag..

With the system restore, the damn thing has reverted to Windows XP (Which don't get me wrong, is probably even better than Vista in many ways) BUT for some reason, barely anything was playable in terms of games. Heck, I could barely play 2D browser arcade games.

I don't remember what happened, but I'm assuming most of my drivers were screwed up due to the OS "degrade".. I don't remember how long ago I'd downloaded a graphics driver, if I even did, but I know that I couldn't even run 3D video games via emulators, and can now run Nintendo 64 games smoothly and playstation 1 games with no issue or lag.. Not sure if that really indicates anything in terms of being able to run Maplestory.

I've tried recently to run the game, and no matter what I clicked on, none of the applications would do anything at all.. The gamelauncher, nor the two "Maplestory" application files, one of which directs me to the site. If I press "play" it asks for my login details, so I KNOW that the button is registering my clicks.. But if I press play AFTER logging in, it does nothing. WHAT. THE. HELL..

I've tried deleting the HackShield/Black folders, downloading them and re-pasting them in the MS folder, I've tried renaming the gamelauncher file, trying to run it as admin, etc.. I don't really know what else I can do.

Could someone give me directions to figuring out my computer's specs so I can post 'em here and possibly figure out if I need to buy a brand new computer? I really don't want to HAVE to just say screw it and shell out 300-500$ If I don't have to, but if I DO, I will. I just want to know for certain that somehow my computer has gone from being able to run the game to being unable to, and if there's anything I can do to change this. I CAN run some 3D games, like "ToonTown"..

My computer's an emachines, windows xp 2002.. I KNOW that I've been able to run Maplestory on this computer years ago, so even to this day I stilldon't exactly know what happened, but it definitely had to do with the system restore putting me from Vista to XP, and then not having the Vista system restore discs that I originally did..

Grinding is tedious and unrewarding.
Nevertheless, I always seemed to find fun while playing this game.

Haeilioonis, you are GOOD. o.o I might try to sing again sometime and actually try with a song I really know.
