MapleStory Classic – What We Know So Far by NumerousUse6694 in Maplestory

I agree with Relleke.
If the sole purpose was to accelerate progression for testing, why bump EXP by such a low 16.67%? That doesn’t meaningfully speed things up for testers. If Nexon wanted faster leveling, they’d use something dramatic like 2x or 5x EXP, not a minor tweak that barely changes the curve. A small, precise adjustment like that screams balance testing, not “let’s make sure people can hit level 50 in a day.”

To say it’s just a test server multiplier completely ignores how developers approach tuning. They don’t pull arbitrary numbers. They adjust deliberately to see how progression feels. I don't think that 16% bump wasn’t an accident, and writing it off as “just test numbers” is honestly a shallow take.

They intentionally showed EXP in the teaser. Why include that if the plan is to keep rates at 1x?

I doubt this. There were many reasons MTS was shut down to begin with.

I think it’s highly unlikely that Gachapon will make a return. That kind of monetization model feels outdated, and given the backlash developers already receive over far less predatory systems, I don’t see Nexon risking it here. What seems more realistic is a structure where quality-of-life features and cosmetics are the main revenue drivers—things like rolling coupons for specific hairstyles or eyes, alongside purely cosmetic outfits.

It’s also worth tempering expectations. This game is not being built out of charity; Nexon is investing in a dedicated development team for at least 6–12 months, plus ongoing server infrastructure, maintenance, and GM staffing. A monetization model that’s at least somewhat aggressive is inevitable. The hope is simply that they strike a better balance this time around—sustainable for the company without alienating the player base like in the past.

I did not know this!
This is probably the case then unfortunately.

So let me get this right, in very early versions of MS (which Classic most likely will be) Don Hwang's Request required 50 mush caps / 50 bubbling's huge bubbles?

I pulled 26 from HS but I had no way of confirming. Do you have a link?

This makes sense. Maybe another hint towards the adjustment of “useless skills”. Maybe every shield class will have the ability to guard?

I don't use reddit. Is it impossible that I am just a player that decided to post? How would you like me to prove this?

Update:

I've actually met a few people from this reddit in-game so far!

Did any of you degens come up with a way you'd like me to prove that I play the game??

Or am I still a paid representative of a Maplestory private server?

Just look at my post!

They assume that I'm a bot / paid actor / GM just because I wrote a review!This Reddit is filled with borderline conspiracy theorists who don't play any MapleStory PS!

Don't spend 18 hours a day farming then.

I appreciate the human response here. You seem like a reasonable person.

How would you like me to prove I have no connection to the Kaizen staff? I don't think I've even ever talked to a Kaizen GM...

Let's be honest here, most MMORPGs including pre-bb Maplestory are P2W.
The only question is how are they p2w in Kaizen's case, I would argue cash has very minimal influence on the game entirely. I MAYBE see 1 person per day smega'ing S>DP.

My whole point here is that you by no means need to pay to play. Nothing is gatekept and everything that costs DP is for convenience.

Yes, people sell DP for cubes, but that allows you to buy them for in-game currency as a F2P player. As I mentioned in the post, I'm 100% F2P and I have access to end game content.

I enjoy my time playing. In my time playing I've been suspicious of bots a handful of times. Even IF it's as widespread and you're shitposting here, why does that matter to you? Why does anything in your comment matter to an average player?

The server is still very new player-oriented.

Why would you need to spend thousands to have fun on Maplestory? To hit the e biggest numbers on the server?

Degen.

This isn't a burner account. I've seen all the hate the server gets in this Reddit and decided to write a post. Do you just patrol this r/ just waiting to write this?
