then again this entire game itself has been going downhill for quite some time now.

I was trying to download files and noticed my download rate was being stuff. Then I noticed Steam was downloading something. Turns out it was downloading a MapleStory update:

I love how they give top billing to "Advance faster" on the update showcase page (first link). It is literally lowering the level requirement for later jobs... How that even works is beyond me, since you depend on levels of AP matching to get things. Probably screws up everyone's tables on how to level correctly.
Edit: Oh WOW, the second link says they removed the "substat requirements" from all equipment. Which as their example shows, means you no longer need a stat useless to your class to use equipment which is SPECIFIC to your class. Thing is, that limitation was a balance. You couldn't do too good on your other stats if you wanted one of those...

Didn't play maple for a few years until I played it like twice a week ago, man leveling is way too easy now.
Got from level 73 to 82-84 in like 2-3 hours.

Yeah, turns out the billions I spent on getting enough DEX to bring it up from my base of 4 to enough to equip Empress on my Hero was for nothing. At least you can't make the Rising Sun items anymore so I guess I can consider them to be "collector's items" and flaunt the full set.
But anyway, I started playing again last week. I did my first Zak attempt last night solo and can kill it in ~10 minutes, so if anyone still plays and wants a free zhelm I can take you on a run. Though everyone became so much stronger when they gave people 60 extra fourth job points (I was hitting 1m per swing with a fast weapon on Zak), so maybe you can solo it yourself.
Add me if you're in Windia. Here's what my character is nowadays:
