I've played this game for a month now, I got a lvl 27thief, and a lvl 34 Cleric... but I can't uderstand why I wasted my time on this... ;_; Even Fairyland would be a better pasttime
And about asian games, I usualy like them allot... but this was a major dissapointment
ah forget what i said this game is boring......i've played it for like two months now and i got tried of it.....allu do is level up and get better cloth
I've only played a few times when I go over to my friend's house-It seems interesting-but is it that bad? I thought it was pretty fun, but maybe thats just me.
I think that maplestory is very cute! but cuteness doesn't make up for the fact of being boring and it takes forever just to get from one town to another....ur best bet is to die when u r semi close to it and be transported to the nearest town.
Originally posted by Koushiro-kun Alright. I have been playing Maple Story for a good two months or so now, and it is starting to get real old. All you ever do is level and a few worthless little quests. I do not reccomend this game if you are not one of the following. 1. A person who has alot of time on their hands and is real patient with real slow leveling. 2. A person who downloads hacks and doesn't care if they get banned. Maple story is a game based around hacking. Around 40% of the people on Maple Story have at least one hack and anyone you see on the Global server that is 50+ is most commenly a botter.Edit: I have two characters 30+. A 31 hunter and a 33 wizard. Don't try to say I don't know what the game has to offer. -Koushiro
Unfourtanately hes 1/2 right 1/2 wrong THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY POINTLESS no story line... no bosses now then where hes wrong... its not a badly hacked game... theres mad patching going on and hacks r getting fewer n fewer theres about 10% of maplestory hacking now AND u can report them to GM's
ok u said lvl 31-33 still not good enough by about lvl 40 uve experienced everything... on victoria road (still got ossyria) dont forget though this is beta i play alot but is getting real old gets hard to lvl from lvl 20+ uber annoying
Death is inevitable... SO DONT LIVE IN FEAR Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity
Welcome to the stone age! Is what I thought as I entered Maple Storys world. Sure it is free, but couldnt they try to be original? As I was grouped with a couple of irl friends and my little brother, I was humming the snes mario theme only to realize *Hey! This is like mario!* Ohhh, repetition is not a factor! Shiz, all games are like this. I mean as a low level mage you go from chucking a magical ball to tossing a claw, to healing dead zombies! (Sarcasm anyone) You can gain levels quite quickly... due to the tenaciousness of my party members, I am level 53 with a couple of millions worth of equipment, black ores, and gold. However, I am not ever going to touch this game again...
YOU ARE GOD DAMN RIGHT. Maple story is the worst game ever in my opinon. Whats so fun about killing a bunch of snails? THe instant i downloaded and saw the graphics and the enemis o man did i hate myself for that.

Let me start off by saying most MMO's suck, Subscriptions inparticular, and they suck like a two dollar ho. They're all a rehash and slight advancement of the EQ Formulae and rely on pretty soulless graphics to keep people doing the same "slightly improved" crap until they max out a character and start all over again.
These games bore me to tears, they're crap, they do nothing new or innovative, the name itself...MMO; Massively Multiplayer Online, the things you could do are amazing. Yet somehow companies refuse to do something interesting, I look at the massive game list and all I see is "EQ Clone".
Well MapleStory is trying to break the mold, it's got charm and fun, two things most MMO's can't provide no matter how much cash you spit out per month. MapleStory stops the stat-clash BS which plagues every other MMO out there, you still have a specific set of damage and criteria, but your ability to time jumps and strikes stops the queue-up crap every EQ clone duplicates.
MS doesn't need to "impress" you with a "deep" decked out back-story which never comes into being, it doesn't need to stuff a bunch of repetitive grind down your throat. MS doesn't need to sell you with a "Deep" experience so you cough up the cash each month, nor does it use flashy graphics to cover up the fact that it's another EQ-Clone. MS refuses to make you another sheep for the Mainstream machine by telling you a great game should have mind-blowing graphics, and if it doesn't, then screw it.
What MS accomplishes is honesty, it's simple, it's cute, it's fun, and it doesn't claim to be anything more or anything less, I have yet to see any MMO tout such honesty. The game isn't for the mainstream graphics sheep and it isn't for those addicted to the boring and overdone EQ Formula, MS is a fun game, the levels come quickly, it isnt in some kind of disguise, and its free and will remain free.
The bad things about MS are the players are often times jerks, and there are no established systems as in other MMOs, such as auction houses, the ability to send items long distances, and of course the risk with buying or selling fame. MS isnt perfect but its a heck of a lot better than all the EQ-Clones everyone seems to love.
What MS needs to improve is to differentiate itself from hacknslash, and make more fun of itself than it does, with the view given you could do many interesting things. Differentiating the types of armor each job gets is very important; a bandit shouldnt wear the same thing as the assassin. The Paladin should have a very armor-heavy look, and tout more appropriate shields and weaponry.
The way you fight could also be stylized just for the game, the shield (if strong enough) could be used to blockade enemies just as an obstacle could, but perhaps only for a certain amount of time or only able to block enemies of a certain strength.
This is a great, innovative game that tries to stray from the demand for soulless 3D EQ-Clones but keeps the hacknslash level-up formula which has kept the genre alive, it has faults, but its still a great game.
Well it isn't hype if it's true , keep that in mind, though I think it's relevant to the topic at hand, it's still just my opinion as a 'usually critical of MMOs' forum browser.

hm lvl20 and up starts the fun.4 me now,i got bored of it,but i still say its fun since i still play at least.
talk about bad planning
"Touch me. I'm hawt!"
1. Your characters aren't very good. (believe me, after dying a few times you'll want to uninstall it)
2. You have horrible patience to level up(no offense)
3. You don't make any friends/clan/party in that game, or in other words, your a loner.
If you don't like this game why post it here?
why don't you go post it where people who like the game wont be put down?
If you start playing and getting into the whole settings
its adictive...
"If you don't like this game why post it here?"
To warn others (like me) not to play it.
