A good friend of mine is 15 years old, I was basically grinding in Vikings in Ludi when he was born, lol. He said his cousin introduced him to this game.
I’m 14, & I’ve been Infatuated with Maple since I was 8 or 9. I got into it from Pocket Maplestory (RIP), & ever since then I loved it. I used to despise MaplestoryM since it replaced Pocket, but I got used to it & started playing that one. I didn’t have a PC until I was 14, so I only got to start playing actual Maplestory around October of last year.
im 20 and i got into it when i was around 6. its weird, i didn't realize there aren't as many players my age but nostalgia can be a hell of a drug for anyone i guess.
Lmao finally I'm not the oldest 🤣 😭 in the comments thanks for that!!! Lol funny to think this game is older then my teenager! I'm 39 so you don't beat me by much!
The game is still a grind, I love old maple I really do. But this version of the game is definitely better. Just kinda hard to get in tonif you missed years of content. Hfhf
34 here, I've been playing since before GMS and MSEA split into two separate servers. I don't play nearly as much anymore, but I still come back every now and then!
When I was 13 barely starting out the game everyone I seemed to talk to was in their teens. When I was 19 playing the game everyone was in college. Now that I'm out of college I find it weird when I see people college age or lower playing this game
Turned 31 last month, played this game for the first time in 2005 or so when I was 14 and still lived with my family in our little Brooklyn apartment. Now I'm married and live with my husband in Australia. Both my life and the game have changed so much lol. Although it's not my main game anymore (moved to FFXIV 4 years ago) it's still really cute and a lot of fun to come back to when I can.
17, started playing with my brothers when I was 7 or smthing but didn't understand shit and kept quitting and returning, been playing actively since 2018 now
was introduced to the game when i was like 4 by my siblings (one was 11 the other was 14) back when we'd wait all day to go back home just to do spiegel's pq, took some breaks and now i play it much much more as an 18 year old
I've been playing since Jr. Balrog was the only boss in the game but quit a few times, I came back when Mercedes was released in KMS just to make some mules to prepare gear for her. Since then I've been playing Mercedes as my main. I am now 39 years old.
i'm 16 turning 17 this year, i played maplestory around when xenon was released so,,, around 2013? i played on and off since my sister and i played maple on one computer so she had most of the play-time. i fully stopped playing last 2021 because of school and the pandemic. my pee-pee brain was too small to understand a lot of the mechanics (until now, cubing?? bossing?? huh??) and just played for the lore, story, and kaiser's hot voice.
I’m 32 been playing since 2005 :D came back in 2012 then came back in 2017 but stopped because of a family situation but now that I have time I’m back :)
30 don't play much. Back in the day only got to 58 on a cleric. Friend let me play his 98 i/L got it to 113 spam farming mushmoms and grinding. Had over 500 mm kills and only one illbi dropped and it was ks's by a sin. 😡😤😡😤
29 here, i started playing in 2006 but my old 98 pc couldn't run MS. So i had to play on a cyber or when my brother went out on weekends and left me his laptop to play. Then in 2007 i finally got a new PC.
I'm the same age as you, started playing around the same time. I don't really play anymore as my friends all quit, but I have been thinking about creating a new character on some random world lol. Or maybe the same ones as previous to access my items.
I’m 30. I played since beta and managed to snag IGN of my own name which is a super common name, that’s how I know I spent too much time on this game….I recently built a PC after having OS X for a long time just for gaming, so recently got back into it and now again spending a lot of time on the game. Came back mostly for the nostalgia. I never made it past 12X when every level was a grind so it’s nice to be able to surpass that easily now. I do miss the social aspects though. I remember even when I was bored of the game and not training I logged in just to AFK or chat lol.
30 now & legit forgot when I started (times an illusion) but it was after Beta , when Fang(z?) was at the top of the leaderboard , & definitely before pirates and 4th job .
Been playing this game for years and only became 16 just last December alongside my friend who became 16 less than a month ago. Believe one of my guild mates is also like 16. I see others mentioning when they started so, 5 years old in 2010 running around in edelstein as a demon slayer trying to introduce myself via name and age before talking to people but would type too slow so they’d just leave. Strange times…
Oh, this is really similar to me as well. Started playing when I was in high school since my sister started then, and I found out my friend started around the same time since his brother started playing. So the 4 of us started up together
Yep 27 here. Started playing when I was around 12 and then got a little serious with it when monster carnival pq came around. That and killing snails in hhg1 was probably my 2 most favorite activities to do in the server! :D
I started in 2006 too, when I was 6 turning 7. Jumped servers because of a permanent move, took multiple hiatuses, and now I'm 23 and still playing :') I think the game has changed a lot! My memories back then were fonder as I was but a simple child with all the time to worry about surviving in Zakum. Now I have more things to worry about of course, but Maplestory still brings me some warm comfort at the end of the day despite its ups and downs.
started playing when i was 8 years old and kept playing till big bang and after that played but never really got anywhere cuz i didnt know anything and also never bought nx but when reboot came out i played alot but stopped and now im back playing for about 6 months and im 23
24 I was 12 when I found the game, first computer game I ever played. I remember going to people's houses and installing maplestory on their home computers cuz I was so addicted. Funny mushroom game still has me coming back.
24, I've been playing since before the pirates were introduced, I think I was 8 years old when I started! I've played on and off (basically every summer/winter update). Back then I was in a guild called RavensDreams, whose leader played with her son (who was older than I was!)
Henesys Hunting Ground, Bishop and Ice/Lightning spamming Genesis and Blizzard. Dying on flying boat to orbis by Balrog. Old Ruggedly Cape from jake quest. Pre pirate release.
Started playing maple when the resistance were released at the ripe age of 9 years old (21 now). Got my parents to help me make an account and have been playing on and off ever since
My {lder sister introduced me to the game when I was 4 kept playing on and off for a while, my first real main was demon slayer, and then Kaiser when he dropped, got him to like level 50, took me months, I'm 17 almost 18 now and I have a kanna level 220 hopefully 250 in the near future:)
I’m 20 years old, I played a lot of Maple with my older brother when I was younger so I came back and played on and off for many years. I do have to say that when I don’t play the game my bank account looks a lot less depressed… not sure why.
Im currently 28 but im not actively playing (but tempted to come back). Long time lurker but started playing roughly around age 13/14 iirc. Kind of miss the game but the cash shop side makes me stay away. Still have my account from way back when so I can always come back. May reinstall yet again..
I was 24 years old when I began playing. This year, I turned 41, and I'm still playing. I have taken breaks in between, of course, but not as many or as long as you'd imagine. :) And I think I'll continue to play for as long as I can. Maple is the only MMORPG I've ever played, and I love it and my characters too much to just quit for good!
I'm around your age and there's still a strong urge to play the game again. But I'd feel too guilty to play it until my career is more established. One day...
Easily most of the playerbase are people from back then.
A good friend of mine is 15 years old, I was basically grinding in Vikings in Ludi when he was born, lol. He said his cousin introduced him to this game.
I’m 14, & I’ve been Infatuated with Maple since I was 8 or 9. I got into it from Pocket Maplestory (RIP), & ever since then I loved it.

Oh good. These comments make me feel soooo much better lol.
LMAO RIGHT 🤣
29 here
29 crew!! Lesgo
Ayyy I turn 29 in a couple weeks let’s goo 😂
Same haha
i’m 18! i thought most players were teenagers but i guess not
Teenagers can’t afford fashion story
wtf
i'm 19... i was really surprised by how old most of the maplestory population was when i started playing again lmao
Same
25
Also 25 myself, off and on player until around V patch when I became more serious.
this is almost exactly me as well!
Apparently you are basically me. But I was a Bera/Broa/Arcania player
23 and I've been playing since 2009ish
Same dude, I still remember how i had sleepovers as a kid with my friends and play maple all night.
You should make a poll. 26 here
Nice Idea
im 20 and i got into it when i was around 6. its weird, i didn't realize there aren't as many players my age but nostalgia can be a hell of a drug for anyone i guess.
in 27, but i started playing in 2017. I do have a guildie who just turned 17 this year. She started playing cuz of her older brother
That's so sweet! Maple does have a more equal spread between male and female players which is rare in other games
I'm 43... and DAMN, this post is making me feel better XD
Lmao finally I'm not the oldest 🤣 😭 in the comments thanks for that!!! Lol funny to think this game is older then my teenager! I'm 39 so you don't beat me by much!
16 here. i genuinely feel like im the only person playing this game thats under 18
Nice try FBI
Wow I feel old (39)...I was I college!! I have 14 yr old now!!! I just restarted again for what feels like the 100th time and each time I'm more lost.
The game is still a grind, I love old maple I really do. But this version of the game is definitely better. Just kinda hard to get in tonif you missed years of content. Hfhf
Idk how you have time to play with kids ×_÷
34 here, I've been playing since before GMS and MSEA split into two separate servers. I don't play nearly as much anymore, but I still come back every now and then!
I didn't even know msea and gms were once together! What were the worlds called? Bootes or Bera?
Yep remember the black maple cap?
I have yet to meet anyone under the age of 20 tbh. I’m also in reg server so better chance maybe in Reeboot?
30 now! Having disposable income now makes the mushroom game experience much more fun than being a broke teenager begging your parents for nx cards
I'm 32, you and me are a bit older than the majority but generally speaking it's definitely not teenagers, most are in their twenties I believe.
When I was 13 barely starting out the game everyone I seemed to talk to was in their teens. When I was 19 playing the game everyone was in college. Now that I'm out of college I find it weird when I see people college age or lower playing this game
Doesn't surprise me the fan base consists of mostly nostalgic adults, if these comments are anything to go by.
25, played since I was 9
29
I turned 32 last April.
turning 30 this year, started in 2007
Im 41, almost 42, been playing since 2006, started during the 1 year anniversary.

I just downloaded for the first time 2 days ago I'm 26 and I've been grinding pretty hard, probably playing super inefficient but it's fun
I was about 12-14 when I was playing . I’m 27 now . I still hop on every now and again for old times sake.
35 here, on and off since 2006.
Turned 31 last month, played this game for the first time in 2005 or so when I was 14 and still lived with my family in our little Brooklyn apartment. Now I'm married and live with my husband in Australia. Both my life and the game have changed so much lol.

31 married with 2 kids. First one turning 3 this year. Lol
26 here. Started playing just before the BigBang patch.
17, started playing with my brothers when I was 7 or smthing but didn't understand shit and kept quitting and returning, been playing actively since 2018 now
was introduced to the game when i was like 4 by my siblings (one was 11 the other was 14) back when we'd wait all day to go back home just to do spiegel's pq, took some breaks and now i play it much much more as an 18 year old
24
I've been playing since Jr. Balrog was the only boss in the game but quit a few times, I came back when Mercedes was released in KMS just to make some mules to prepare gear for her. Since then I've been playing Mercedes as my main. I am now 39 years old.
I was like... 26 I think when i started in '06. I'll be 43 this year. I take Ibuprofen now before I try to use a totem.
i'm 16 turning 17 this year, i played maplestory around when xenon was released so,,, around 2013? i played on and off since my sister and i played maple on one computer so she had most of the play-time. i fully stopped playing last 2021 because of school and the pandemic. my pee-pee brain was too small to understand a lot of the mechanics (until now, cubing?? bossing?? huh??) and just played for the lore, story, and kaiser's hot voice.
👴60 Playing off and on since 2006
Crazy im 31 too, started playing around the same time as you
Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug, I stopped counting after 25 and actually had to think about how old I was for a hot sec
Majority of current playerbase is adults/people that played back then.
I’m 32 been playing since 2005 :D came back in 2012 then came back in 2017 but stopped because of a family situation but now that I have time I’m back :)
19, only started in 2018 though.
Started when I was 12, 21 now :)
i feel like the only 15 year old on this game sometimes.
Same, my incredible hatred for middle aged people never ceases
30, came back because of covid. Started in the preBB era.
34 in a few days. I've been playing since only Scania and Bera existed. No 3rd job. Never thought I'd come back to this game but... here I am.
20 but started in late 2008 when I was 7 lmao
I'm 37, started post-Big Bang... Ahh, the memories. 😜
MapleSEA player here, currently 35 with 4 kids LOL.

I'm 27, turning 28 in July. Youngest I've come across recently is 20. Oldest are 2 people who are 34.
Am 20 :D
from how people act in this game you would assume many players are preteens lmao.
🤦♂️f, I am also 31, turning 32 in 10 days
Started playing when i was 5-6. Am 24
There is as I doubt a lot of younger people have the patience to stick to maple well deservedly
[удалено]
18! Fr it feels like most of the people i meet can be my fuckin parents and...its an odd feeling
Been playing this game for years and only became 16 just last December alongside my friend who became 16 less than a month ago. Believe one of my guild mates is also like 16. I see others mentioning when they started so, 5 years old in 2010 running around in edelstein as a demon slayer trying to introduce myself via name and age before talking to people but would type too slow so they’d just leave. Strange times…
18, first played when I was 5 through my older siblings but only started playing seriously at the start of quarantine
Played in 06 when I was 6 know some people younger than me that play . Feel like most people I meet are mid to early 20’s. Know some teens that play.

I was 9 when I started playing this game.
Oh, this is really similar to me as well. Started playing when I was in high school since my sister started then, and I found out my friend started around the same time since his brother started playing. So the 4 of us started up together

26, played when 4th job just came out
Been playing since 3rd job came to the game. It's been a pretty long time...
I'm 21 now but I probably started playing at around 5-6 been off and on since then.
I started in 2006 too, when I was 6 turning 7. Jumped servers because of a permanent move, took multiple hiatuses, and now I'm 23 and still playing :') I think the game has changed a lot! My memories back then were fonder as I was but a simple child with all the time to worry about surviving in Zakum. Now I have more things to worry about of course, but Maplestory still brings me some warm comfort at the end of the day despite its ups and downs.
Started playing in 2010, I'm 28.
Most people I've met in guilds are Ether finishing collage or in full time jobs. Your age is basicly within the avarage playerbase age.
27, started playing when I was 12 a few months before the game’s 3rd Anniversary event.
I was around 10 or 11 when i first started im now 23
21, but my older cousin who is near 30 introduced me back about 12 years ago
23 gang here. Was around 7-8 when started playing mushroom game

24 I was 12 when I found the game, first computer game I ever played. I remember going to people's houses and installing maplestory on their home computers cuz I was so addicted. Funny mushroom game still has me coming back.
Haha everyone that was 13 and around that age that played is now in their 20s and still playing, I’m 25 and came back
Started playing around 12~ yrs old and am 26 now.
24, i remember playing since beta on my uncles account
24, I've been playing since before the pirates were introduced, I think I was 8 years old when I started! I've played on and off (basically every summer/winter update). Back then I was in a guild called RavensDreams, whose leader played with her son (who was older than I was!)
21 here
I’m 19 and started playing when I was 5 back in 2007 haha
Yeah I started about 6mo to a year before pirates came out I think. I believe I was like 9 or 10 (definitely still elementary school). 27 now
I started playing Maplestory in 2007 and I’m still playing to this day. I’m 26 now!
Henesys Hunting Ground, Bishop and Ice/Lightning spamming Genesis and Blizzard. Dying on flying boat to orbis by Balrog. Old Ruggedly Cape from jake quest. Pre pirate release.
Started playing maple when the resistance were released at the ripe age of 9 years old (21 now). Got my parents to help me make an account and have been playing on and off ever since
My {lder sister introduced me to the game when I was 4 kept playing on and off for a while, my first real main was demon slayer, and then Kaiser when he dropped, got him to like level 50, took me months, I'm 17 almost 18 now and I have a kanna level 220 hopefully 250 in the near future:)
Almost 23 here. Been playing on & off since 2006 when my cousin let me play with him and his friend. Got hooked the moment I saw my first drop party.
26, first played When I was 11
Around 8/9 years old when I started playing, 21 now.
24
20 It’s almost been 10 years since I’ve started
27. I feel the same way. Maybe once we log into maple we still talk like we are 11 without realizing it
18 here, I've been playing since early 2010. I think I had the most fun with the game back when I had no idea what I was doing :'-D
I’m 20 years old, I played a lot of Maple with my older brother when I was younger so I came back and played on and off for many years. I do have to say that when I don’t play the game my bank account looks a lot less depressed… not sure why.
Im currently 28 but im not actively playing (but tempted to come back). Long time lurker but started playing roughly around age 13/14 iirc. Kind of miss the game but the cash shop side makes me stay away. Still have my account from way back when so I can always come back. May reinstall yet again..
I was 24 years old when I began playing. This year, I turned 41, and I'm still playing. I have taken breaks in between, of course, but not as many or as long as you'd imagine. :) And I think I'll continue to play for as long as I can. Maple is the only MMORPG I've ever played, and I love it and my characters too much to just quit for good!
Born in 93'
4 days ago i turned 16 lol.. playing for almost 9 years
20 right now. Started playing when i was 5
I'm around your age and there's still a strong urge to play the game again. But I'd feel too guilty to play it until my career is more established. One day...
