Should I even come back to this game?

Hi there.

I haven't played the game in sooo long, I think the last time I played was when cannoneers were first released. The only character I really ever played was my cannoneer, who's lv157. I was pretty weak too, i think my range was only 31k clean which if I remember at the time was less than average, so I assume that's below average now since it was such a long time ago lol? If I do come back I don't plan on spending another cent on this game though.

Is the game still difficult without money? I only had like 4m left before i quit

Economy is still as bad as ever, if I've been hearing right. NX and cubes still play a large role in the game for sure, so if you're looking to get strong you're going to need to drop some cash (I think there is a way to craft cubes now, but it's supposed to be very tedious IIRC). As far as the gameplay, its the same old Maplestory. Come back if you liked it back then, stay away if you didn't, IMO. Unless the idea of a few revamps excites you, anyway. We've had some of those. Notably, RED brought some huge changes along to the Adventurers.
