Maple Story
Has any one played Maple Story Here?
It looks really fun, so i started downloading it.
I heard its 2D...
my username is 08jackt, although i haven't started playing yet (still downloading....)
What's it like?
Is it worth the 1.5 Gig Download?

Re: Maple Story
What version?
I'm moving to the area where global can be played, I have to play europe right now.
It's fun, and remember: stay away from people that look rich if you're in a random place (summoning bags 
)!

Re: Maple Story
Its a horrible game, all you do is grind. There are literally no fun things, no pvp, no minigames, no quests that involve something other than collecting lots of monster drops. I really think its the worst MMO ever.

Re: Maple Story
Yeah, at higher levels you can grind against bosses with teams
But in the end, all you do is grind. The skills are cool though.

Yes, and thats like no life....
With in 27 hours i would have watched a movie with my friends and my girlfriend and go shopping with my "girl" friends.(You know...female friends?)
And then i would have gotten so much sleep

Downloading?
Downloading can take up a lot of space but games like RS or StickArena Ballistick
Are good

It's worth it to some people, not worth it to others.
If you really can't decide, flip a coin. If heads, go play maplestory. If tails, go play rs/funorb.
Oh and BTW archmage, do you play steel sentinels?
