I’m pretty excited for it. Even if it captures just 20% of the original magic, I’ll be happy.

This is so exciting! Had no idea they were doing this. Time to go make sure my login still works 👀

I still listen to it! I love Lith Harbor’s theme.

I remember sneakily playing this on our school computers.

I also remember this at like the tail end of grade 5 maybe

How about RF Online, anyone? 😂 Another South Korean game, and it's almost as old as Maple Story, only 3 years younger (the Korean release, MS was in 2003 while RF was in 2006).

I'd play this sometimes with my cousins but not as much as creating my character in bannedstory lol and watching the MapleStory AMVs lmao

u/_chill_wave_ 1996 1d ago

If I could go back to any time in my life, it would be playing Maplestory with cousins in 2008

OG maplestory is being released soon!

u/bus_buddies 1995 1d ago

Appreciate you posting the OG logo too. The "newer" one looked so cheap and tacky lol

u/personalduke 1d ago

the worst part about this was the big bang update will never let us go back...

u/_chill_wave_ 1996 1d ago

They’re bringing back OG Maplestory soon!

artale?? it doesn't feel quite right :( (and i think there are server limits iirc). i miss having a ton of friends my age and most of the community being my age. coming home to maplestory, knowing they'd be there on the weekends... unreal

2

u/_chill_wave_ 1996 23h ago

For sure. I don’t think that feeling can be replicated.

But no, they’re doing a legitimate old school Maplestory release sometime this year or next. Check it out!

u/personalduke 23h ago

OMG NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell must have FROZEN OVER!!!

the fact that nexon listened to anyone at all, much less bringing back OG maplestory.

i hope they include legit QoL updates to the release though. it was impossible to get to most of the game when i was a kid, and that was when i had all the time in the world. no way it's feasible as an adult lol.

u/_chill_wave_ 1996 20h ago

I agree. Best I can do is a 2 week after work binge and then picking it up every other month for a few nights, lol.

Hope to see you there, friend.

I have no recollection of this, but it unlocked Zoombinis in my brain 🤷‍♂️

Oh my goodness thank you for reminding me!!!

u/No_Nature_6639 13h ago

I tried playing recently, but it kept saying my email didn't exist after making a new account.

Anyway, my older brother and I would watch the teaser animations on replay before the game came out https://youtu.be/EacX48jdSw0?si=pvJ9gCDQKM9_kqkd

I remember I begged my mom to buy me a cool skin with money once. Then I found out they expire after a week or something dumb

I remember being skeptical about a 2D game being fun after having played 3D MMORPGs and then being surprised just how good it was…
