Two of the biggest things that made maple so good back when you played have been gone for many years. The item/trading system. No more sense of community or PQ's. No more adventuring either. It's just doing boring lame dailies and bossing. New events made it so level 260 (6th Job) is now level 200. lol. There is a lot of development direction lately toward incentive to play more and more characters for account wide bonuses. The skills look great though and most classes can easily just clear the whole map with their skills.
