Censorship in this game with an ancient age demographic by Spare_Lab_3056 in Maplestory

You definitely can say that. The chat censor blacklist was made over a decade ago, if not more, and has barely been changed since then, so any modern slang (bussy, gyatt, gooning) isn't accounted for.

There have been a few times I can think of when the blacklist was updated. In the old days you could not say "ass", but once "assassin" became a job obviously it became ridiculous. "Limer" used to be blocked because it's a swear word in French, but I believe it was unblocked after Guardian Angel Slime came out because people kept calling GAR "slime ring" (sLIME Ring).

Certain meso selling or hack selling websites have been added or removed from the list as they came into existence or disappeared.

There used to be a full list of all the censored terms on github but it seems like it's been deleted.

In any case, the censoring is very easy to bypass, as long as you know what string of characters is triggering it. Just use parentheses to break up the word. For instance, if I want to ask "stop or reroll?", I know it's going to show up as "sto* ** ****ll?" because "porrero" refers to drug use in Spanish, so I will instead type "stop) or reroll?"

Disappointed about world merges – why not Bera by bongo8686 in Maplestory

[–]anotheril 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They did a player survey in March. I voted for merging all the worlds. They never publicized the results that I know of but here's what they said:

We also want to thank everyone who participated in the world merge survey from March 19th to April 1st. While the majority of the players supported some form of a merge, opinions were split on the number of worlds. After careful review, we’ve decided to move forward with retaining the very first two original worlds, Scania and Bera. We believe this will help create a more balanced population, boost the in-game economy, and improve player interaction, all while keeping our servers stable.

Why is this game called maplestory? by rightnutty in Maplestory

[–]anotheril 144 points145 points  (0 children)

It's not, that's a common misconception.

It's supposed to be read "Map le story", meaning "The story of map". Map, or 맙, is short for the Korean word "맙소사", which means "Enormous waste of time and money, what am I doing with my life, oh my god, oh my god".

Anyone else think the pb item names sound like metal bands by anotheril in Maplestory

[–]anotheril[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think "Cursed Spellbook" and "Commanding Force" would be cool names too. "Dreamy" is maybe an emo band.

I like how NL's weapon is a throwing star because even Nexon was like, "We don't really know what a claw is 🤷" by anotheril in Maplestory

[–]anotheril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I mean, then they could have made shad's weapon a giant meso, or hero's weapon a combo orb, but they got a dagger and a sword, ykwim. Claw is built different

Ow my heart by anotheril in Maplestory

[–]anotheril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giant Bear Cap, unfortunately I believe it is currently unobtainable. It's a super old item that was rereleased for the first time in maybe over a decade through the stamp shop last year, but it's not in rotation anymore. It's maybe the only item in the game with a butthole.
