I just downloaded this game earlier today. I have heard some good things and some bad things about it but only from a few people. I also know 2 of my friends who play Maple Story, but they are rather high levels I think and wont want to be bothered by a noob like me.
I have heard that the game has a problem with kill stealing and that leveling up is really hard. Also, i have heard that his game has a lot of level grinding involved in this game.
thoughts? _________________

I use to have an account. I hardly played it though, my connection was too slow. I had a rather noobish character...only a level 14 warrior. |

I managed to level up my chara to level 23 ninja I think before I got bored =\ I just sorta ran out of simple quests to do...
finally deleted the thing off my harddrive as I found some other mmorpg I was interested in playing
(and yeah yeah I know Maple Story is not a mmorpg technically speaking)
By the way...just to let you know...there's already a Maple Story thread floating around.... _________________

I have a couple high leveled characters. But I don't play anymore, it gets tedious after the first week of playing. I didn't have any problems with kill stealing, but I also avoided heavily populated areas.
But yeah, once you get to like level 15, it's just the same thing over and over again trying to gain levels. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

I played it to about level 10, got bored, and stopped playing. Also I discovered that nearly everyone who actually plays it gets hacks for the actual game. |

I've wanted to try it, but like almost all the other cool-looking little online games, there's no freakin' Mac version. >_< _________________

Ah, forgot about this. I'm actually giving away accounts at the moment. I've already given away my 25+ account, but I think I have a level 10+ warriorish type and a level 5 or 6 magicish type. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

Wow, am I seeing things or am I the highest leveled person here?
I started playing this game in December 2005, and my highest leveled character is a level 69 Hunter. I don't play on Maple Global (The version for all English speaking players who don't have their own version) though; I play on MapleSEA.
If there's one thing I like about this game, it has to be the gameplay. Although I must admit that Maple Story's gameplay gets extremely repetitive after some time, the good thing about it is that the game starts off very simply, hence making it good for beginning MMORPG players. The interface is also pretty good and you can customize your controls well. The grinding part is very difficult for most people to handle at higher levels; at level 31, the EXP you need to level goes up to six digits and at somewhere around level 60 and above, the total EXP you need to level up goes into the millions. At that point, you'll certainly feel like giving up.
The graphics are one of the things I like about this game, as they are 2d and colorful. The costume designs are also quite good, but if you don't have access to PayPal or prepaid cards, you're going to be left sorely wanting.
Perhaps the best thing about Maple Story is that pretty much any computer can run it easily. Unlike other games like WoW, you won't need a good graphics to run Maple Story smoothly. I think that in the long run, this, the graphics and the fact that it's free keep it going.
As of now, Maple Global actually has very few hackers because of something that Nexon did with the patch and they have New Leaf City, which is the Maple Global exclusive city (all the versions are supposed to have a city unique to their version). Likewise, Maple SEA has its own exclusive city as well. Can't say the same thing about the attitude of the players though, since my friends keep complaining about how stupid they are. _________________

I got to level 14, and then I shot myself in the foot because my life was just lacking excitement that bad. I dunno, between the repetitiveness, hackers, and the feeling of triumph from killing a mushroom, and then shame for being proud about it....was too much for me :*laugh*: _________________

Excuse me for sounding dumb, but what's Maple Story (other than an MMORPG)? _________________

Maplestory, eh? I remember playing that game only because my friends did. Playing without them made it boring. I remember hacking in isolated areas..I was so SICK of grinding just to get 1 level up. Speaking of MS, they're planning to make it an animated series. _________________
