Nothing will ever hit like Maplestory in the early 2000s ever again.
>muh korean mmo slop
>>12691618You werent there, you will never understand
if you apply critical theory, it's clear that all mmos are a bad deal with systems within systems designed to extract as much time as it can from you, while also being the equivalent of saying the n word in the gaming world: LIVE. SERVICE.but then, your ape side of brain finds it kinda comfy and enjoys seeing random players going on about their days and chatting with strangers here and there, collecting random turnips and admiring pixelsIt's like enjoying banging a fat chick and being conflicted about it, because she's fat and automatically disgusting, so you might as well fuck a pig while you're at it
>>12691627I was there playing Ragnarok Online with my high-school homies.
>>12691653your analogy fails because fat chicks generally fuck like animals while MMOs generally suck ass
>>12691665>fat chicks generally fuck like animalswell, that's technically correct... Humans are indeed animals.If your implication is zoophilia, get help.
>>12691653Why do you assume the fat chick is a she? Women are not females.
>>12691616I tried this game but usually stopped around level 20 or so as the grind became obscene. I was also playing runescape at the same time which had more immediate things to do and frequent new content to play with.
maple story. never. been. good.
Was Tibia the shittiest early 2000's game with horrific human-centipede level of subhuman experimentation and cruel psychological stress-testing package in a massive piece of shit that looked like garbage, was structured like garbage and played like garbage with ridiculous lag even when you were right next to their servers? Yeah.Do i miss it? kinda... a little bit...
classic MS soon btw

>>12691865I also ran a store and sold accessories
>>12691865if you start 'nietszcheing' your life, you'll get down to: nothing matters and you just get horny, eat, shit, piss and sleep.why don't you just spook yourself... NOW!
i played ro during beta and when maple came out i thought it was ro-lite and people that played it were gay
did you guys ever get your maple gf?
>>12691616For me it was Diablo 2
>>12691950I still remember editing a shitty bow and spawning friendly mephistos per hit to ravage everything along the way lmaothey took out uber diablos from spawn list, but somehow forgot himthink of it, it was a really strange time because you could get banned for using a simple map hack, but everyone with their hacked stats were just cruisin' like nothing happened.
>>12691665>fat chicks generally fuck like animalsSo do tweaked out gay men but I'm not putting my pee pee in either.
>>12692258trvth nvke for all the fatfags in the audience
>>12691616>Maplestory in the early 2000sTibia?
>>12691854it's Ultima Online for poorer people, with Ultima 6-tier graphix. i hate the combat system. never got into it.i think my cuzzin played Adventure Quest more... and AQ is still alive?
>>12691965i edited in rings that spawned hot NPC chicks from corpses. and some cows too.
>>12692430>tibia>combat systemcombat system?
>>12691627I was there and it was slop. Maplestory was what the third worlders, poorfags, and children played, people who couldn't afford a pc that could play real mmos like Everquest or WoW.
>>12692494>Maplestory was what the third worlders, poorfags, and children played, people who couldn't afford a pcHOLY SOVLI wish I'd played it back then.
>>12692494>WoWand look how that turned out lmao
Real OGs played Graal Online
>>12691653>your ape side of brain finds it kinda comfyAre people actually addicted enough to live service games, that even knowing their tricks and manipulation they cannot stop playing?
I skipped prom so I could play. I was so fucking hooked 2005-2008.
>>12691854All tibia players I knew were sadistic and subhuman. The kind of people who liked to bully. Makes sense because the pvp pentalties were brutal and you could keep on killing someone until he was level 1 if you hacked his account which happened frequently.
>>12691653I can see the point how even despite these things being kinda shit it can be appealing in some ways, especially the social interactions with other players, but I'm glad that I never played any MMOs. I would either have just decided it was shit and stopped or wasted a ton of time on it.>>12693449This tracks. I remember my Cambodian friend and Filipino friend were always talking about it.
>>12693494I'd say MMO's are more likely to get people hooked because it's very stable across time and favors socialization for the socially inept.There's also the mythical aspects of it, thanks to its extensive story and many years of activity. For example: many know about zezima and durial321 despite never going past tutorial island.>>12693723The skull system updated put a massive damper on it, but griefing was a daily ocurence.Like mages summoning dragons (when you could) and logging out. Also luring strong mobs like giant spiders or dragon lords.On a good day, a sea of corpses was a normal sight near safe zones
>>12692494>third worlders, poorfags, and childrenTRVE SOVL right there.>WoWSoulless goyfeed kotickslop played by celebfags and mutts.
Maplestory was fucking gay
