People that don't play still think this is a ridiculously slow leveling MMPORG. I think its just a matter of perspective and how much time and efficiency you put in.

I miss how everyone was poor and didn't care about damage.

Leveling used to take forever. To be honest, it was actually quite ridiculous. I remember spending 7 hours over 3 days getting from 56 to 57 in the Zombie Lupin tree.

Yea I remember that too. Only Maple Island, Victoria Island, Florina Beach, Orbis and El Nath existed. There were only Scania, Bera and Broa servers when I started. (Think originally was only Scania and Bera). You had to kill the birthday candles during 1st Anniversary, then trade a Red/Blue Gift Box to have a chance to get those AWESOME BANDANAS. (Or those useless cakes) Orbis Tower 20th Floor/Ant Tunnel I was the spot to go during Lv 22~30, then Jr.Cecelion/Grupin/Lioner till Lv40. Before Forest of Golem was out, Lv 50s trained at Golem's Temple, then went off to Coolie Zombies/Drake's Meal Table/Tauromacis/Taurospears from Lv 60~80, then Gobies/Spirit Vikings were the end game training spots. Many of these Hidden-Street were popular (Pig Beach, Slime Tree, Blue Mushroom Forest, Forest of Evil, Dangerous Valley I/II. 5%~10%/hr at Lv 3x+ was considered the average exp gain for many, if not all maplers. Everyone was rushing to Showa Town when first released to get those Bathrobes, Mystic Canes and then to train on Red Slimes/Bains. No such thing as dead towns. There were always people in current dead towns like Korean Folk Town, Mu Lung, Omega Sector, and Herb Town. Camilia and Bruce in Henesys, Ayan in Perion, Betty in Ellinia didn't exist till Version 0.3x. Some of the maps got a change of what monsters spawned there. Ex: Copper Drakes/Red Drakes were replaced by Wild and Fire Boars in Dangerous Valley I, there used to be Green Mushrooms on the top platform of HHG1. They got rid of some event quests, thereby being unable to get some event items anymore; Wish Ticket Event, Halloween Candies Event to get Pumpkin Basket, Chief's Axe in Thanksgiving event, 7/4th event. There are also some equips you never see anymore, like the infamous NAMELESS SWORD. Perion Ch1 was like today's FM Ch1, and Orbis/El Nath Ch 1 was pretty crowded too. People actually used equip making NPCs like Mr.Thunder and Gordon to produce items Lv 50+ Hacks used back then were NON-USER-THREATNENING (Vac Hacks, Godmode, All map attack Hack) Orbis Glitch PQ, messing with my Modem. I always got in trouble by my parents cuz of that. Haha. Zhelms were really REALLY RARE. I was lucky to see one once a month. You used the DICE to set your stats, and you didn't have beginner skills/auto assign AP. Mushroom Training Camp! Those hippy looking apple suits were the bomb. The OLD World Map that only displayed Maple/Victoria Island. No one really cared about DPM. THE OLD CURSOR WAS SOOO MUCH NICER than the stupid Finger Cursor we have currently IMO. Color differences on scrolled items (like the blue/purple/yellow glow) didn't exist. No such thing as Dexless builds, heck even low-dex was extremely rare. You were considered a pro Sin if you threw icys. I was using Wooden Tops/Wolbis on mine. There were memorable players other than Fangblade, such users are SteeI, Tiger, Suuushi and Diego. Wow that's a mouthful.

I hated the old days. There was hacker everywhere, It took forever too level. So many people scammed. Everybody was a noob. It was impossible to train. There was no variety. Seriously, all mmorpg's seem fun when you first start. Now that you've discovered everything, you're bored and miss the old day of discovering.

I remember a time when people didn't think that they would be bad-ass if they played ms when it first started I mean really You're not cool If it's so easy to level up now, why do you only have a lvl 51 fighter If it was so easy, you should be lvl 120+ by now

4 years ago is when I started playing, and back then, no one cared about leveling as fast as they can. People actually played the game to have FUN. Also you could make friends with a new person every day! People were so friendly and actually talked. I want that maple to come back. Also, I remember when Nexon didn't exist, just Wizet.
