A good game. With some side affects fo thoose not used to MMORPGs.
After you hit level 8/10 you can now take the ship ride to Victoria Island. On Victoria Island you can get a job advance. Go to perion for warriors, Kerning for thieves, Henesys for bowman, and Elinia for mages. Once you get this first job adavnce you train up to level 30. This can take from 1 week to 3 months. After you hit level 30 you go back to the first person who let you become a thief,warrior,mage, or bowman. They will tell you you have to test ok. So now you have made two job advances. Now the 3rd of the 4 is at level 70. Once you make this advance your now a "pro". Now that I have given you a run through i can tell you the pros and cons.
The pros.
1. Maple has about 3 armor choices for every time you can 5 levels and 2-3 weapon choices.
2. You can choose between 4 main classes. These classes then branch off in to 10 other classes.
3. You can make multiple friends and it is an easy buddy system/chat layout.
4. This game is fairly easy and not a slow game.
5. It is a growing and highly updated game.
Now the cons.
1. Gets VERY boring at times.
2. Players can be very cruel and rude.
3. You may use all over your money and then fail on getting what you wanted.
4. Hackers.
5. Watch out for scammers.
Ok that is my basic judgement of Maplestory. I hope I have helped you choose if you would like to play this game or not. Have a great day everyone.
