You might think, "Maybe it's time to jump back into gaming,"

but one look at all the piled-up updates and more complicated systems can feel overwhelming fast.

But here's the bottom line: right now is the perfect time to come back.

​

These days, games have seriously lowered the barrier for returning players with giveaway-heavy events and major quality-of-life updates.

I came back myself after 6 months and was able to settle in with zero pressure,

so here are 2 comeback picks that are still absolutely worth starting right now!

​

1. The ultimate giveaway event king, MapleStory

​

Thanks to the leveling expressway of "Item Burning X Hyper Burning X Burning Beyond" plus settlement support rewards, you can break into Arteria in no time even if you're starting from absolute scratch!

​What shocks most returning newbies when they log back into MapleStory is the ultra-fast growth events like "Hyper Burning."

You don't have to live at hunting grounds all day like the old days anymore—every time you gain 1 level, you get +2 more on top of it, so your character literally hits "explosive growth" mode.

​One returning newbie friend's experience: I came back after about a year with the mindset of starting completely fresh, and thanks to the Item Burning gear, Core Gemstones, Sol Erda Fragments, Sol Erda, and Symbol support handed out during the event period, I didn't spend a single cent

and still made it all the way to Black Mage lower-tier bosses.

​Lower entry barrier highlight: A huge number of the complicated prerequisite quests that used to be mandatory have been streamlined, and the Guide system has been heavily revamped, so instead of asking, "Where should I hunt right now?" you can just follow the guide.

​2. If your fingers still remember the game, you'll readapt instantly: FC Online

With a special settlement package for returning users and player pack support, you can put together a solid squad from day one of your return!

​

A lot of players worry that in sports games, they'll be crushed by veteran players' squad (team) value and won't even get off the ground. But FC Online is famous for generously handing out large-scale currency (BP) support and player packs for returning users.

​The moment I came back after 6 months and claimed the welcome package and return mission rewards,

I was able to quickly build a team around the named players I'd always wanted.

​Lower entry barrier highlight: Even if your club value is low, official matches pair you with users of similar skill or team value, which keeps the stress level way down.

On top of that, recent patches have made passing and defending controls more intuitive, so it doesn't take long to get that satisfying touch back.

​

To wrap it up: if you're hesitating, just log in!

​If you're thinking, "I don't know anyone anymore, and all the systems have changed—what if I can't adapt?" you can put that worry on hold for now

because a lot of online games, including Nexon games today, are more committed than ever to showering new and returning users with support so they can settle in
