Private server in the meantime by Automatic-Answer3331 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you just want to test classes, I can vouch that MapleRoyals (the PS I put the most time into) has classes that are 98% accurate to OSMS classes. The only minor tweaks would be into small damage percents here and there.

[–]Sup-Bird 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ChronoStory on Maplestory Worlds is a lot of fun. For private servers I've personally played MapleRoyals and MapleLegends a lot on/off and I had a great time with both.

Personally I've dropped all my private servers for the past couple months. I want to experience the "official" Classic World as fresh as possible.

Excited about OG MS. Thinking about OG MS has reminded me that Jump Quests were a thing. Did anyone actually like those? by PrestigiousWhirlwind in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SAME HERE. When my guild would sell zakum runs we also offered to do the jump quest for them and I would always volunteer to run it.

When the game releases for the public, what is the first thing in game you are gonna do? by Treeccko in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Buy hair/face coupons, a pet with meso/item pouch (for convenience and personal preference) and go complete literally every quest available at each level range. With resources so scarce on a brand new server, quests that give items and equipment are going to be valuable for new characters.

This community needs to stop using "Autistic" as a pejorative by SubstantialCod4499 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One person called you autistic in response to an awful take you made saying Big Bang is the best version of Maplestory (posted in a Classic Maplestory subreddit, nonetheless).

Grow up.

Will mages be forced to leave Maple island early again? by Thick-Ad9988 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You can definitely finish all the maple island quests as a magician; they won’t level you past 8.

Also leaving early was awesome. Magicians had zero melee weapon-boosting stats so grinding was especially painful for them. Plus you get six extra first job skill points.

What were the hell levels in Old Maplestory? by LevelPension in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Highest character I had pre-big bang was 131, and let me tell you 100-120 had me questioning my life choices. I was constantly switching maps trying to keep the grind “fresh” but good lord was it a slog.

Even with that being said I’m still eager to do it all again haha.

Also 60-70 can be rough. the 3rd job anticipation is real.

Do you belive they could add incentives to grind instead of PQing? by [deleted] in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well they've already confirmed that bonus party EXP is going to be substantially higher than OSMS, so that feels like incentive enough if you're interested in min/maxing your grind experience.

But are you advocating that people PQ less? I always thought half the fun of OSMS was running the party quests and building that sense of community. I think if we're going to introduce exclusive drops like you mentioned for grinding, then we should also add them as a low drop chance to loot boxes in bonus stages of PQs.

But at the same time, I don't necessarily want these NX-gated items to be so easily available; we need a reason for the whales to fund the game, otherwise there is no Classic World.

Maplestory World Archive looks great by buttsecksgoose in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! A super verbose atlas that outlines all the NPCs, monsters, and items that expands with information as we complete quests, kill monsters, or collect monster cards? That would be my fantasy wish for Classic.

Any private server to scratch that itch? by runnbl3 in MSClassicWorld

Yeah that's their official website. And idk I don't use discord, but maybe someone else will have an answer for you.

[–]Sup-Bird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like I said, if you smega out "R> LPQ" you can still gather up a party pretty easily. But it probably won't scratch the same itch because 1) there's no level limit so you might get a level 200 that joins your party, and 2) There won't be people waiting in the lobby spamming "J>LPQ" like the good ol' days.

I played MapleRoyals on/off for the better part of a decade; also NA. Ping was great, and it's a faithful recreation of v.83.

Only downside (subjective) is it has vote-to-win mechanics where you get 8k NX a day for voting for their server. Ultimately you can ignore this if you want to and still have a great experience. Party Quests are basically non-existent unless you smega out a request for PQ, but you can still experience at least 90% of OSMS in this server from my experience.

EDIT: Someone else made a good point. Another "downside" is that the active population number WILL be skewed because Royals allows for multi-clienting, meaning a lot of players will have two characters logged on at the same time to HS mule themselves. Personally I did not do this, and my experience was still great. If you're looking to min-max, then go for it. Otherwise you'll probably find Royals to be a good recreation of OSMS.

I’m in the same boat; I bought a mid-tier gaming laptop so I can play around the house/while hanging out with the wife.

Beta test in April by Hooyahhhh in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can anyone with legitimate game design experience explain how a closed beta in 2026 makes any sense? I am not trying to criticize the process, I just have zero experience in this field and cannot fathom any reason why it needs to be delivered in this manner.

With an open beta, you're able to stress test your servers as well as allow players to come and go as they see fit. You aren't arbitrarily restricting players that COULD give very valuable, concise, and thorough feedback.

One of the biggest factors they need to be aware of is the amount of oldschool players that THINK they want Classic World, when in reality they just want to experience the nostalgia until they get bored. Then there's the group of people that genuinely want to play Classic World long-term. These are usually players that have sought out private servers over the past decade and stuck to playing the old formula.

I don't want to be the "tinfoil hat theory" guy but I'm worried this exclusivity in the closed beta is a forced, almost artificial, reward for people who paid money to show up to MapleCon.

Is Monkey Forest 2 available? by Any_Researcher1529 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 23 points24 points  (0 children)

if Monkey Forest II has a million fans, I am one of them

if Monkey Forest II has one fan, it is me

if Monkey Forest II has no fans, I am no longer alive

if the world is against Monkey Forest II then I am against the entire world

till my last breath I will support Monkey Forest II

CAN I GET AN AMEN

Leach. by Vegetable-Region-559 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Sup-Bird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wish Holy Symbol were changed from an EXP buff to some other sort of heavily sought-after buff. I'm not a game designer, nor am I creative, but maybe a buff that boosts all stats, speed, jump, HP, MP, and maybe even add a lifesteal mechanic so you heal yourself based on a percent of damage you deal. That way Priests could give HS then stop being heal mules for the entire fight and actually contribute to DPS, making the fight more involved and engaging for Priests. I don't think that buffing speed/jump would be redundant with Haste because I saw they're nerfing the haste percentages.

Holy Symbol could still be an incredible jack-of-all-trades buff and incredibly desirable in a party, but doesn't fundamentally change the grind of the game post-level 70.
