    Farewell from CM Kyrios

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:02 PM PST

    Hello r/MapleStory. I've posted this on our official platforms (forums/Discord) but I felt it was important for me to also post it here on the subreddit since this is probably one of the places I was most active. Below you'll find the full message, but the tl;dr is that I'm leaving Nexon this Friday since a new opportunity presented itself in a different sector of the video game industry (it's single player games). You guys only know me as a CM and only a few of you know me as a person, but for me this kind of decision was something that weighed on my mind for a while now.

    You guys were insanely nice to me throughout my brief tenure and did everything to keep me informed and helped guide me, so I'm supremely thankful of y'all. There were some rough moments with the game but none of you ever made my job difficult.

    I hope that the game will improve well after I'm gone. For those who messaged me about the white room stuff, I'll try to get around to as many of them as I can before I head out, but I doubt I'll be able to get to them all since my days are numbered now and there's not a lot of time.

    I'll still be on the livestream this Wednesday. And just as a heads up, Nexon is hiring to fill my vacancy; if you know any go-getters that fit the job description let them know to apply!

    ---

    Full Goodbye Letter:

    Hey everyone,

    Kyrios here. This Friday on January 29th, I'll be departing from the Nexon America team to pursue new career opportunities.

    This may strike some of you as sudden, so I'll try to be clear as to what led to this, without going on about my life story too much. But I think some context is necessary so you know more about what was going on in my headspace that led to my decision.

    I started working at Nexon almost two years ago with a Community Manager job listing for MapleStory 2. At the time, I was a streamer, making just barely enough money to survive. I wasn't in a great spot in life, so I applied for a job that by all means I was barely qualified for, and Nexon took a chance on me by approving that application. With no money or possessions to my name I flew across the country alone to restart my life for the better.

    After the events of MapleStory 2 shutting down I was at a bit of a loss on what to do. I was then put on Mabinogi's team temporarily where I worked with the awesome people there for about half a year until their Community Manager returned from her maternity leave. I was worried that there wouldn't be a game I could work on since every game at that time already had a Community Manager. But then I was offered to work alongside Ghiblee in MapleStory as a second Community Manager.

    I was ecstatic to not only be given yet another opportunity, but also to work on a game that I had some familiarity with and that a lot of my old MapleStory 2 community had transitioned to themselves.

    However, over the many months spent in isolation working from home due to the worldwide pandemic, I had a growing desire to learn new things in order to have a better scope of what I wanted to do in life moving forward. Frankly, I'm still a bit unsure of what I want to do with my life. I started my professional career at a very late age of 27 and can't afford to be complacent with not knowing how my future will pan out. Thus, I've made the decision to work on single-player games elsewhere as a means of self-discovery and trying something new.

    For all of the MapleStory players, I express only gratitude for how you all accepted me into your community from the moment I arrived, spoke with me daily, and regularly guided me in learning the game that you are all so passionate about. I have the utmost respect for the passion that you all put into MapleStory and how everyone shares a common history in it. I am sorrowful that I'm departing from you all after such a brief amount of time of me being here. I know you all had high expectations for me, so I hope that at the bare minimum I was able to leave a tiny mark that you can all remember me by.

    And to my colleagues at Nexon, I've expressed equal thanks for them having been the best people I could've asked to work with. I really hope that everyone in the player community gets more chances to meet and interact with them. They aren't just faceless employees and I'm certain you'd like them more if you got to know them a little better.

    In any case, I have no doubts that MapleStory will do well without me. It always has before, and you are all still in the capable care of Ghiblee who has always shouldered a majority of the community work even after I had joined the team. Continue to be passionate about the game and willing to express your thoughts and opinions in places where the team can see it. You have a voice in MapleStory and it's always been the Community team's responsibility to listen.

    I will make a last appearance on the content preview livestream this Wednesday, January 27th at 1 PM PT. I hope to see you all there on my farewell.

    With all sincerity and hope to the future of MapleStory,

    - Kyrios

    P.S. - I wanted to also say thanks for the overwhelming amount of end-of-year 2020 community survey responses! We received over 1,000 of them and there were a lot of kind words written about the Community team in them, as well as a lot of great feedback on how Nexon can improve in the future. It fills me with determination.

    Don't forget to redeem awakening scroll rewards if you haven't

    If you're like me who puts it off until the very last moment to try and give yourself "more time" to think about what to do with it, don't end up forgetting about it.

    Is it just me or are Arcana maps a lot less populated now?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 05:19 PM PST

    I can finally find maps in the dcups (and even once in sidepath!) Did Nexon finally do something about all the botters that were there or does this always happen after winter break ends?

    unmotivated with my main

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 07:13 PM PST

    Good, I have my main Mercedes from several years ago, it is lvl 238, the other day I used a blue totem, winter experience buff, and the cash buff that is worth 3k reward points approx, for 2h in the area of ​​the esfera spiders and I only went up 15% at most, also trying to improve my equipment with fever time I have worsened my equipment, and the truth is I don't know..the goal I have is to be able to kill damien or lotus, I have 5-7m of clean range, but with buff I can kill hard magnus, hilla, cra .. it is satisfactory but I am tired of the character skills of using it for so many years, and I see that my effort to improve the damage is null, the other day I was wrong using an inno scroll and I lost all the stars of my umbra, thinking that I used the scroll that you do not lose stars, so I tried to raise it from 10 to 15 stars as I had, and I spent 400m + for nothing, I returned to having the 10 stars, the truth is tiring and I annoying, so I'm thinking of using my "second" main which is a lvl gunboat 210, I also have a kanna at that level, but I don't know, I have so many objects accumulated in the main that I start from the beginning getting good equipment to try to overcome my main in damage I see it somewhat crazy, anyway the fatigue of using my main makes me doubt whether to play with other characters..

    sorry for that big text but it was necessary, thanks for ur time, stay safe

    Why is 200+ considered the 'real' game?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 02:44 PM PST

    I see a lot of people say that once you hit level 200, that's when the game truly begins.

    However, at lvl 200, that's when you get less content and basically do the same things in the same areas over and over every day. There isn't really much new content or variety. There's less places to explore, you do the same exact quests every day on the same exact maps.

    I can't say anything beyond 210 yet, but just from 200 to 210 it's been the same thing and I'm wondering why that's considered the real game, when for 200 levels before that you're exploring, meeting new npcs, doing lots of stories, etc. That all just...stops at 200.

    So I'm curious why 200 is considered the real game when it feels like everything about the game stops?

    Only polite discussion please, I am asking this here because I got totally ripped apart on the discord for some reason so I'm hoping maybe I can get some more mature discussion here without people having to resort to calling me a 'stupid moron' or telling me to 'just quit' because I prefer the exploring and questing than doing "dailystory"

    Edit: Thank you all for your kind responses and thoughtful answers! I was considering quitting maple based on how I was treated on the official discord, but you guys have given me a lot of hope that the player base isn't entirely rude. Thank you so much <3

    some asks from a new kid

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 01:43 AM PST

    Hello maplers, I'm new to GMS, the last time I played an official server was on BMS when it closed in 2011 (RIP best server ever) and the last time I played on another server was a v163.

    I saw that the game has changed a lot since then, I decided to play again and I have a Wind Archer (is it a good class to start now?) at Bera.

    I started yesterday and I am trying to make the most of the event to get level 200.

    could you give tips to a new kid who is totally lost in playing an official server again?
