I'm surprised all of you are still playing this, I've been on/off the past few months.

I play it off/on. I don't really get hooked, but it's a good way to relax and kill some time, and so far progress hasn't been so slow that I ever find myself feeling massively bored or anything.

The new patch came an hour ago, and it's pretty sweet. Owls of Minerva in general stores for 10k each, a permanent, cheaper replacement for pet equips (can't switch which pet they're on, but apparently all pets will now come with item/meso loot?), alleged increased cube drop rates and tier-up chances, the cool guild revamp, a rare chance to get 100% golden hammer drops from bosses, soul weapons, and a mustache event! MUSTACHE EVENT!! The only bad part is a small nerf to Kishin (the Kanna skill that boosts spawn). http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates/update-notes/00HnE

The guild revamping sounds awesome, and merging Family skills into it.

As someone who mains a Kanna, the Kishin nerf is almost unnoticeable. The guild system replacing the family system has one large drawback; you can only teleport to guild members. No more "Anyone in X's family, I need to tele! It's irrelevant in most cases, but still. Otherwise good changes all around. Also if you've been doing the daily attendance, today was the day you get the Black Pendant for the item set for the achievement to get the Earth chair, which if you had all the others lets you get this hilarious monster:  (It's tradeable within the account and is perfect for the upcoming Blaze Wizard revamp)

Eh. I was thinking about getting it, but it's so much work and there's nothing cool about it except for its size. Not worth the effort.

I'm thinking of picking this back up since I haven't played in a few years and I'm very bad at dota. How's the goon presence in this game? I used to have a level ~130 Battle Mage on El Nido a few years ago and it was pretty fun because we had plenty of active people, if the community is still active, I'd love to join up since I'm finally free from University for the summer and I'm finding myself with lots of free time. edit: I logged on and noticed my main character has 0 meso (I had at least 100m+ ), my other characters still have whatever funding I remember giving them almost 2 years ago...what happened?

I'm tempted to try it again, too. I maxed out a Cygnus Knight (the archer one) and had started leveling a warrior juuust after Big Bang hit and Mechanics were the hot new thing, is there a good way to try and get myself up to speed on everything that's changed or just play the game? One other thing: are cash shop things still temporary? Coming back and needing to spend money to revive a pet sounds as obnoxious as it ever did.

Basically literally everything has changed since then. Your Cygnus has been totally revamped, as have basically every other class. Pets, actually, JUST got a revamp two days ago. Some pets are permanent (this has been a thing for a while) and pet equips are now pet skills, which cost less and are permanent for the pet. Other cash items are still temporary, though a lot of cosmetic items are both permanent and tradeable between characters if they haven't been equipped yet. Fano posted:edit: I logged on and noticed my main character has 0 meso (I had at least 100m+ ), my other characters still have whatever funding I remember giving them almost 2 years ago...what happened? You probably got hacked and had anything of value stripped from your main character. A lot of times hackers won't bother with obviously secondary characters and just take the value from the main.

I had that happen to one of my accounts before, a few years back. They didn't take any of my decent equips, though none of them were exactly godly at the time. Well, scratch that, they took two valuable rings, but that was it from equipment. They also took a couple of chairs and my raw mesos. In any case, it's either that or you gave the money away or hid it somewhere last time you played and forgot about it.

Yeah I got on a level 30ish Wizard and my cold beam was a huge cleave that hit 3 times and did a billion damage and did some stacking debuff  Something about the UI really bugs me now, everything feels too pushy. Every character has a ton of blinking "Hey I'm helping!" guides and light bulbs and so on that won't go away when I just wanna see my new abilities and find things to punch. I guess I'll just roll a new character and take a look see at how the game feels now before I do anything.

You can hide them, yeah. It's worth it to keep checking in with Tot though, if you do his stuff occasionally he'll give you a free level. It's pretty easy to get to 70 in a few hours if you know where to go, even more so when a new class comes out and they have all sorts of bonus exp events.

So from what I see all the special snowflake classes that aren't in a "group" give your other character special skills/stat ups if you link them. Is there any reason NOT to play one of these over anything else for the link skills, or is it just "yep there is absolutely no class balance here"

The classes aren't really balanced, but everything is strong enough to steamroll the majority of enemies you fight. At least it seems to be that way.

Yeah that's what I'm seeing, but I'm wondering if I'll be screwed down the line if it turns out I didn't level the classes that give out link skills.

No, every class does not have a link skill. The only explorer with a link skill is Cannoneer. The other classes with link skills are Mercedes, Demon Slayer, Demon Avenger, Kanna, Hayato, Beast Tamer, Kaiser, Angelic Burster, Luminous, Phantom, the 3 Cygnus Knights that have been revamped, Mihile, Jett, and Xenon. Please excuse me if I forgot one or two!

Explorers did just get revamped, and some of them were significantly buffed. Link skills are valuable, so it's worth it to make classes when you can and level them up to at least 70, or 120 if you have the patience. The third tier link skill is at 210, which is a billion times more experience than 120, so don't bother on any except your main. Here, have a link skills mini-guide: In GMS you can only have 12 link skills on a given character. Thankfully this covers just about every skill you could want. All link skills unlock at level 70 and upgrade at level 120. Some, not all, upgrade further at 210. You can't stack link skills. The Mercedes link, that gives bonus experience, for example, can only be on a character once. Making a second Mercedes might allow you to have two characters with that link, but it's easy enough to just re-link the kill whenever you need it. The exception to this is the new revamped Cygnus Knights, that can stack up to 5 times, one for each knight. The skills: Angelic Buster: A 10-second buff with a 90-second cooldown, it just straight increases your damage. 60% at link level 1. Beast Tamer: A mixed bag of boss damage, crit rate, hp and mp percentage increases. Cannoneer: A flat boost to all stats, not percentage. Demon Avenger: A percentage boost to damage (5% at link level 1). Demon Slayer: A percentage boost to boss damage. Hayato: A flat non-percentage boost to all stats and weapon attack. Jett: Some bullshit random boost of various stats you can re-roll with cash items, it's garbage. Kaiser: A percentage boost to max HP. Kanna: A percentage boost to damage, same as -- and stacks with -- demon avenger. Luminous: A percentage boost to defense ignore. Mercedes: A percentage boost to exp gained. Get this first, it makes leveling everything else easier. Mihile: A buff with a 180-second cooldown that gives you 100% stance, i.e. monster attacks don't knock you around. Phantom: A percentage boost to critical hit rate. Cygnus Knights: A flat percentage boost to abnormal status and elemental resistance, stacks up to five times. Xenon: A percentage boost to all base stats. Zero: A two-part percentage boost that increases your defense ignore and decreases your damage taken. Note: this link doesn't level in the normal way, it's tied to storyline quest drops.

 Apparently JMS is making the third Sengoku class. Current rumblings are that it's a thief or an archer - second hand sources claim that she 'throws' her attack, which probably means thief, ranged thief at that. Doesn't really matter much, but hey, figured someone might be excited.

I'm honestly not all that hyped for Maplestory 2. The only reason I keep coming back to 1 is because of nostalgia for when I used to play it in elementary school, back when something like Pirates being announced got the entire school talking about how awesome that is.

I just love the way it looks, the combat just makes it look like more fun to me and also the fact that it's getting released worldwide. What I want to know is if they're going to give players of the original game any sort of bonus upon start up.

I hope they add a bit more detail onto all the blocks, it looks very bland considering how pretty Maplestory can get with its fancy backgrounds and the like.
