MapleStory

It would be irresponsible to ever recommend this game to a new player. Skip it.

Downloaded the game years ago and created a character, then never touched it after that. Tried it again this year just to see that im banned. Nice.

Just received the email for those founders packs. You must be absolutely out of your mind Nexon.

After more than 2500+ Hrs on Steam and about 3000 in total , returning from Pre BB Aran Evan Dualblade Era ... loved it for most part but the grind is real and its more of a money sucking monster than a grind for fun to play , Passses Passes and more Passes , from Event to Event ... Mule story , Daily Story , Grind story ... no Quests , no Content that is for Groups whatsoever , Maps becomes more and more like pictures on Big World map instead of Traveling though them , to sum it up this is a P2W game ... without it you just get tired out ... im Out for now hopefully Classic may change

This game is like that really easy girl in middle school. You played with her for a while and got bored with her, but you hear her call your name and for whatever reason you go back to see if anything has changed, and every time you go back, nothing has ever changed. Now, almost 8 years since you've met her, and you two still meet up every once and awhile to diddle. This game, man.

8 hour "minor maintenance" about every week. for a 20 year old game. absolutely unsatisfactory patch roll outs riddled with bugs. ZERO communication. no fair compensation. do not play this game

This used to be one of my favourite games. I spent many many hours enjoying the grind. I decided to pick it back up as I'm taking a break from a couple other games, and highly regret doing so. This game has gone downhill more than I thought possible. Right away at the character creation screen you have too many options for class, making it impossible to pick one without reading descriptions for a long period of time. Next you load into the game, and it tries to get you to auto level to job advancement, and you can't even roam around freely killing snails like the good old days. Instead of getting to enjoy every level up while doing quest and grinding, you now follow a basic questline that is 90% cutscenes. It skips like 10 levels at a time, even without making a burning character which levels way faster. If you loved the old Maplestory, do yourself a favour and don't play it now. Remember the good times and find a different game to enjoy now.
