For me, this game worth 21 hours a day!
First of all, MapleStory is not a game with a story to follow, it just a game where you train yourself and try to become the best of all. There is some quests with some sort of stories but nothing major. In my opinion, the most important objective of this game is to find some trusted friends to have fun with.
When you start playing MapleStory, you will start out in a small island where you will learn every feature of this game to help you in the future. After you become strong enough, you will eventually start thinking about headed to the larger island and start you first basic job.
The 4 basic jobs included Thief, Bowman, Warrior, and Magician. Once you choose which one you going to be, you can't change it, you will have to train and advance to the next level of that job, in which you can choose again. You can advance two more times after that, but trust me, it will takes at least couple of months before you can even get close to the last job.
This game contain many quests to help you train, some quests is easy, but some is mind blowing. After every quests, you will rewarded with some EXP points and/or money, sometime you will get more than just money, you might get expansive stuff that you can sell it for very high price.
If you were a businessman and wanted to sell stuff for fun, you can go to a free market and sell your stuff there. You can find people in the free market everyday and every minutes. If you were rich enough, you can even open a little store with some real cash.
MapleStory is easy for most user because it easy to control. The controls are completely customizable, so you can even play with controller other than the keyboard.
The graphic of this game is very great for a 2D game. Is it very cute and with a lot of difference on every maps.
The sound of this game is not very good after all, but the music is very nice. It just that the sound of hitting suck.
There is also many downside of this game:
-Too many hackers and scammers.
-Leveling is harder every times you become stronger.
-Too many server checks.
-No reply to help mails.
Overall, this game is a must play for many people. Even with hacker and scammer is everywhere, you will understood how to protect yourself after some period of time.
