the NX store is still the most jewish implementation I've ever seen in a video game
spending money on in game items that disappear after 90 days unless you buy it again? jesus fucking christ gooks get it together

>>381521506
I started playing right before the time Cygnus Knights/Aran was released and at one point they released some permanent existing NX items for a short period that were like 3x the price. I was an idiot and bought a permanent white beanie and black shirt with tie instead of a permanent pet with the meso magnet item.

MS was definitely a money pit if you were really impatient player back in the day, I hear the game is a lot easier to play now though.

>>381521506
It's a free to play MMO. They need to pay for the servers somehow, kid.

Would you prefer a monthly fee like WoW?

>>381522521
Nexon shill get fucked
or rather, ching chong ching shill bing xhing bong xhing desu

>>381522682
I'm not even trying to defend Nexon, you're just a moron.

Any MMO that's free to play needs to generate income from somewhere.

>>381522521
>>381522908

having the items disappear is beyond jewish. I've never seen another mmo of any kind where the cosmetics you buy are only temporary.

>>381522521
Yeah, the Korean f2p model is pure shit since they always add some p2w feature to the cash shop and the game inevitably degenerates into a contest of who can whale harder.

>>381523105
Pay 2 Win is bad.

Pay for cosmetics that eventually expire is fine for a free game.

>>381522908
imagine if Valve put 90 day timers on everything you unlock from a crate

>>381523764
>miracle cubes
>that golden hammer thing
No, Maplestory is p2w.

>>381523852
I know.

>>381523821
Crates aren't MMOs you stupid idiot, nor is Maplestory a massive digital distribution platform.

If you have an MMO that's free to play, you need sustained income coming in from somewhere. What do you suppose they do?

They could have prevented this so many times, but they chose not to.

There's tons of permanent cosmetics in the game. In fact, these days barely anyone bothers buying the expiring ones, partly because they're all old designs and the new (permanent) stuff is more flashy and cool.

>>381524993
Thank you for further confirming your stupidity.

>>381520321
Tfw not those merchfags who sold mesoes for real money.

>>381521506
This. In the korean version, nx items are permanent

i want to go back

I played this game for numerous periods between 2005-2009 (all pre-big bang), but for whatever reason, that music is the one that takes me back to 2005 when I was playing with my real life 5th grade friends. Boy I miss those days.

Time for some more though.

Maplestory was alright for kids, but the REAL gamers played LaTale.

>>381526805
This is what private servers are for.

>>381528064
That art looks god awful. Maplestory's was infinitely more charming.

I've tried a couple private servers but I can't get into them. Progress never feels like it really matters (as far as MMOs go), since it's just some shmuck's server, not official

>>381528323
The only one you should be looking to try is MapleRoyals because it has a big population and is considered the go-to by everyone yearning for pre-Big Bang Maplestory. The problem is it's still kinda broken now.

MapleLegends is the other option. Less population, but more stable.

LaTale is an ugly game yes. Beautiful loading screens though.
And pretty great beat 'em up gameplay. I'm excited for the relaunch on the 28th.

The one I played the longest was a Korean v55 or something. The population was pretty good and it was faithful to the Maple of that time. Just didn't grab my interest though.

>>381529896
Why are the v55-57 servers so popular?

>>381529896
You gotta wait until the flame starts here again.

The best Maplestory experience today comes when 20-30+ /v/anons start together as a group on a preBB private server, and all level up together. Unfortunately, the last time that happened was like September 2015.

>>381521506
Ya it's true... As a dumb kid I remember paying double during an event thing to buy permanent cash store cloths.
I regret how much birthday money I threw into that game deeply...
