MapleStory

how is the grind terrible? im confused i dont play this game dat much............

See that list to the left?

<---

I've played ALL except 12 of those games, in either trials or as a subscriber (I'm old )

Not one of those games comes anywhere CLOSE to the MS grind. Nowhere close at all whatsoever.

The game I've played most is FFXI, which is notorious for the tough grind,  and even that doesn't compare at all (unless you compare leveling all jobs to 75 to leveling one class to 200 in MS)

Maple Story has THE WORST grind of any game that I've ever tried. And I've tried a LOT of MMOs.

Japanese Maple Story has a 1.5x base exp more than the other versions, and I wish GMS would follow suit.

Pretty much agree on what you say. Repeatedly killing the same thing over and over again, going to buy pots, spam skill button again. This is the main reason i quit. Maybe other people have different opinions though.

The grinding is bad but the awesome combat system balances it out. In my opinion it has one of the best "grinding experiences" plus it gets alot easier and funner after lvl 50.

did you seriously just say that?It gets harder and harder and harder.

Dude, did you just seriously say that? LMPQ,OPQ,and maybe LPQ give awesome exp. Partying(as explained earlier i belive) is awsome exp. Also MapleStory has no skill difficulty. I enjoy it when i wanna check up on the awesome community. Oh and the forums don't cuss or use much racism. You just looked at the first post didn't you. I apoligize i know were you are coming from but honestly maplestory is a good game i won't watch you say it's inferior...

In every MMO's forum there are going to be some haters and lovers both on extreme sides of the fence... The haters saying stuff like "The grind is terribl! The graphics are kiddy! OMG A 2D MMO LOL???" and the lovers will be like "MAPLE THTORY IS THE BETHST GAME EVA!!!" no matter what...

But the fact that these lovers exist is reason enough to just let it lie. In my opinion, all MMO's have a bad grind, but in this very thread someone admitted to being level 97, so, it can't be THAT bad if at least someone still enjoys the game after getting to that freakishly high level. As for me, I have like 13 MMO's on my computer because I have attenion span of a tampon.

So anyway, that' my 2 cents. Maple Story is as fun as anything else in its own right. And the grind is a grind like any other grind.

AHMEN! Ha couldn't help myself... The grind is bad but get some friends people. Oh and dash, the people spelling like that ARE the kids.

I would play Maplestory if I had one of those hacking programs. But since I don't have one, I rather not waste my time.
