maplestory fell off years ago at this point. Its a dead game maple 2 they had to close cause literally no one cared.
I don't play the official game anymore, I go on private servers every now and then to fulfil my nostalgia. Maplestory M is awful.
I still play on scania! Part of me really hates how easy they have made it to just teleport to wherever you need to go, half of the adventure and fun of the game for me 14 years ago was having to traverse the world to get to places, now the adventure is just gone.
A lot of the game has been heavily streamlined and most choices are pointless now. There's really only one set of equipment you should be wearing at any given time, one stat distribution for each class, and all skills can be maxed. One of the few fiddly things is getting bonuses and that's just gambling since the scrolls have been removed from the game (in Reboot, anyway). The only "new" thing I enjoy is the sense of a metagame, where each individual character means very little without the support of legion stats and link skills. I used to play semi-solo anyway, so even though it's sad that the community isn't there in the game with you, if you join a guild you can chat with people outside the game while rarely having to coordinate in-game.
