MapleStory

is this a whorthy game?

i try to download it, but very very slowly...

It depends on what you consider "good."

In the beginning, it's pretty interesting, there's plenty of quests for new people to do to make leveling easier. There's Party Quests that you can do with other players to also make leveling easier, but they get costly due to the amount of pots you have to buy without the normal grind and meso (in game money) collecting. PQ'ing can get tedious since the "hardcore" players tend to want to get them done quickly to get their exp, they don't like inexperienced players slowing down the process.

Once you get past level 31, leveling is a complete pain in the butt since there's no PQ for you to do (besides the newbie one that gives minimal exp). The only way to survive until level 35-40 is to buy a x2 exp coupon from the cash shop (or grind for about a week). Speaking of the Cash Shop, you'll see almost everyone running around wearing the clothes and you'll get treated differently if you don't have them. IMO, the CS is a rip off since everything only lasts 90 days (except physical changes like hair, face, skin and eyes) and then it expires.

All in all: This game is a good starter MMO, it's bright and colorful and will keep you entertained for a couple of months. If you're a MMO vet, you can try it, but you'll probably get bored really fast. Very Cash Shop dependent if you want to get anywhere good, "fast."

this game is actually very good, i once played it and it is very fun and you have a lot of things to do,

Its fun  until you realize you could be spending that 7 hours you just used to level in a much better way.

 You wont need to buy a 2x exp, all you have to do is level from 31~35 which doesnt take that long. And after that there is a pq from 35~51 and then 51~71. You dont really need the cash shop for much unless you want to look "cool". But yeah, in this game you will have to deal with many hackers/scammers which gets annoying. And there is a lot of kill stealing depending on where you train etc. This game is pretty fun for a while.

I think MS is a good game when a few friends play it. When your alone it can be a bit boring sometimes like with PartyQuest but its a very good game

MapleStory is a great game that I have personally played for a long time. Unfortunately, I became addicted to the cash shop and spent over $100 in a single month. It was then I realized that I needed to quit.

The game can be a little difficult to get into, though it has come a long way since I started playing a few years ago. Some quests have been introduced and some areas fleshed out like the new tutorial area has been overhauled quite nicely and no longer has confusing text due to poor translation.

Probably the most difficult part of MapleStory is getting the perfect stats, which unless you're lucky can take quite a while of monotonous clicking.

You'll definitely want to visit a FAQ when rolling your stats to determine ahead of time what kind of class you will want to be. You don't want a warrior with 10 INT at the start; of course you can fix these errors with cash shop items, the point is you don't want to have to spend money if you don't need to, yes?

Anyway, once you've decided your stats, you're placed into a colorful world. By following the tutorial, you'll eventually end up in the real world, where you'll meet other players. At this point, you should level up until you are ready to switch to your first job. After that it's simple grinding, which brings me to the second worst part of this game; the Hackers.

Never have I seen a game so full of hacking. Some areas are so bad that the monsters can't respawn because the hackers broke the respawns. Hackers use creative ways to hide from your view so you can't report them. Some hackers appear on top of the roofs and the only way you know they're there is by seeing their dot on the mini-map and a trail of monsters floating towards them.

Aside from hackers there's kill-stealers. These guys muscle in on monsters you're attacking and kill them, stealing your precious EXP. "true" kill stealers are the ones that follow you and kill the monsters before you do while competitive players will just share the room with you, trying to beat you to the monster, which is acceptable behavior, but can lead to uncomfortable channels.

The best thing to do is switch channels until you find an empty one. Sometimes you'll find a channel with no monsters, which means a hacker broke it. This can get incredibly frustrating. Apart from grinding monsters, there's not much else to do in MapleStory. Some of the quests can be challenging and fun (especially the jump quests), but aren't mandatory (aside from getting some very nice gear). All in all, MapleStory doesn't seem to reward people who use the cash shop enough. If they truly cared about the people, they'd likely take a bigger stance on hacking, but right now, it's such a large part of the game, that most people just give in and start doing it themselves, especially since it's relatively easy to do.

I think it is a good game but after a while u get bored and u think that it should be improved.
