Hey guys. For a couple years, I spent hours a day on this game. I quit about half a year ago because the inflation was ridiculous.(Not to mention the people who couldn't speak English) You almost HAD to be a merchant to have more then 10mil. The game turned into "who could sell a 60% glove atk scroll for the highest amount", instead of just having fun. I and about 40% of the community went to.. Well, those illegal versions of Maplestory.(Not sure if it's still a bannable term here on Basil) I've heard the following rumors, and if they aren't true, then I'm highly considering coming back to MapleStory. If they are true, then that really sucks! - There are tons of 10-12 year olds. - The number of people who can't speak english has increased. - The inflation is still occuring. - The population has gone down dramatically. - Maplestory has become very bugged. (This is a personal thought. It happened with Combat Arms.) If anybody can answer those for me, that would be awesome. Thanks a lot! Your friend, -ZackVIll *EDIT* [b] Is it worth coming back? I lost all my friends, I only have 25-30mil-ish, I'd have to memorize all the prices again, and I have no NX for awhile. On the other hand, It's summer vacation, and I have nothing to do until July.[/b] I tried a couple other games... But they didn't feel like home.(Maplestory) -Shaiya (Poser WoW) -WoW ( Too expensive and time consuming) -Gunz (Community SUCKS) -Perfect World International (Definately not perfect)

ehh well there may be 10-12 year olds but they're not all mature, maturity is NOT based on age at all, i think the second one is true not really, i dont think so-nvm this is true, inflation being the mesos worth more,right? (items cost less) not at all, i dont think so, no, just for certain people and occasionally after some patches

- There are tons of 10-12 year olds.- The whole community is built upon 8 year olds - The number of people who can't speak english has increased. - English is for losers - The inflation is still occuring. - Who needs defltion when you can have inflation - The population has gone down dramatically. - Theres only 2 people playing on each server - Maplestory has become very bugged. (This is a personal thought. It happened with Combat Arms.) - Yes whenever you move you get teleported to a fairytale land

- Yes- always have, always will - Not necessarily - Yes now, but it was down before - Can't say - Not really, only minor issues here and there

don't play scania. inflation is raging in everything except for -cough- chaos scrolls, whereas the value of that is going downdowndowndowndown. those bullets you've got there are very accurate.

-There arent as many 10-12 year olds as before. I fact people do sound more mature as you level up. -There are people who cant speak english but usually I dont see them because they're just united in 1 guild instead of out there. -Depends on the item. Maple Shields inflated when 4th anniversary came. -Maple doesnt have problematic bugs xD

- There are tons of 10-12 year olds. YES! A LOT MORE! - The number of people who can't speak english has increased. YES! A LOT MORE! - The inflation is still occuring. It's actually deflation right now. - The population has gone down dramatically. More people than ever before. - Maplestory has become very bugged. (This is a personal thought. It happened with Combat Arms.) Not THAT bugged.

- There are tons of 10-12 year olds. - There's always been a mix of different ages - The number of people who can't speak english has increased. - Same with age, there's always been a mix. Personally I've seen less than I did 4 years ago though. - The inflation is still occuring. - Prices keep yoyoing.. - The population has gone down dramatically. -*hacker population, yep. - Maplestory has become very bugged. - The only bugs I have experienced were very easy to avoid. Though scania did get rolled back last week, but they extended the anniversary event to make up for that.
