Summary: Maple story would have to have the friendliest graphics of all time. Although the game is 2D and often described as a Mario like MMO, its stunning graphics make up for it. The unique vibrant colours make each game area, and each of the towns a new experience.

Maple story would have to have the friendliest graphics of all time. Although the game is 2D and often described as a Mario like MMO, its stunning graphics make up for it. The unique vibrant colours make each game area, and each of the towns a new experience.

Positives

The grind factor of MS (maple story) is often looked down upon as at high levels of say 150 plus it could take you a week of 24/7 for one single level up, and the fact that even at low levels one training location could serve you 10 or more levels (example. Ice/Lightning Mage, leveling at crab map.) However the quick paced, fast killing, and short time between each mob, gives the game a very active and absorbing feel to it. With this type of game play there is no time for AFKing.

Each class is so different to each other and the game maps are so huge and spaced out it really is an adventure travelling around. High-level skills after 3rd job are visually breathtaking and so well hardcore (some taking up even half the screen!) That it really does add the excitement to grind.

Negatives

There is little to do in this game but grind, as bosses are limited and instances are scarce and mainly at low level, such as party quest lvl 20-30, lvl 35-50

Leveling taking so long is often viewed as a negative amongst modern day MMO players, and the main negative in MS in most players opinions is the hacking. The hacking in MS is more common than any other MMO I have played and it ruins the experience to some extent. Other then them it is a fun game and I suggest you don?t just pass up the game due to the 2D graphics but instead give it a go.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
