First of all this is one of the best mmos ever. Its less complicated than most other one so it is a little more fun than stressful. The only downside is that it gets extremely hard to level up once you get to about lvl 50. The upside about leveling is that there is alot of stategy in placing your points every time you level up and the skills are very gripping. The other great thing is that there is no level cap. The highest level player in the game right now is level 216. THe game universe is pretty big. First you are on maple island and you think the world is very small. Then aroung level 10 you are taken to Victoria Island. By now you think the game has a fair universe but what that player might not know is that they`ve just scraped the edge of the whole game universe. There are a couple smaller continents like Masteria and Amoria and one huge continent called ossyria. Ossyria is huge !!!!. It consists of several regions that are pretty large themselves. THis game could have still had a lot of content if Ossyria was just made up of one Region like the rest. There are a huge amount of items and stuff to use and the character customization really relies on what you wear rather than when you create your character at the begining. Pretty much you choose the gender, pick one of about 5 face types and choose a hair color and thats about it. There are plenty of quests even for lower levels and by level 30 most peaple will be in guilds. On the server I played on the largest guild was called Lost Seraphim and consisted of over 30,000 players. The average level for the average person you find at a town is about level 50 so you don`t have to worry about meeting someone to far ahead of you even if your a noob. There are hundreds of types of enemies and some of them were clerely desighned for guilds of atleast 20 or 30 peaple or like a level 300 single so if you one day become the strongest character there will still be plenty challenges to face. There are Four main proffesions warrior, majician, bowman and thief each with several branches. For instance the warrior can go from warrior-fighter-crusader-hero. This adds some depth to a simple looking game. THis game is really not simple at all but is really just a complicated yet easy to get the hang of game. You can also go to something called the cash shop were you can pay real money for ingame stuff for instance you could pay 12 dollars and get a dragon pet or you could pay 3 dollars and get an awesome new set of armor. All this adds up to an absolutely outstanding game.
Maplestory can be explained in 1 word: GRINDFEST. The point in the game is to rapidly press ctrl against an enemy until it dies. Do this continuously until you lvl up. Once you lvl up, you can get new abilities,weapons, ... Read Full Review
MapleStory is a side-scrolling MMORPG game. It is not as impressive as the other popular main stream MMO's but at least it looks better then Runescape. At the beginning you start off as jobless pawn. You mainly train ... Read Full Review
