The game is REALLY fun and kinda addicting. The real appeal of it for me was the fact that I can just have fun in a game where I do quests and kill some random little monsters and talk to my friends and such. The game is very enjoyable with friends. The only big flaws I see are the time and effort it takes to level up [it took me a week to get from lvl69-70 on 4 times experience becasue I actually have a life] and all the immature and often really annoying people who are currently holding the majority of the population. Other than those flaws, I’d say that people should give it a shot with some friends! Maplestory is definitely something worth experiencing.
A game that’s so simple, its fun! there’s tons of quests and casual and hardcore gamers can get into this game as well. The gameplay reminds you of an old school plat former and if your new to MMORPG’s then this a perfect game to start with. Some things that I dont like about this game is that it is real easy to screw up your stats and it takes ALOT of grinding to level up. Not only that but the cash shop items that you buy are only available for 90 days. Overall it’s worth your time to try I give it a 3/5
Nexon the company that owns it is TERRIBLE. The censor forums for any glitches they dont want to fix or any criticism. They will delete it no matter how big the problem is, while not paying attention or fixing glitches or hacking. Another flaw with them is they are greedy greedy greedy even making new headlines because of it. If you want to play a great game like this without the crappy ownership play windslayer or wonderking. They may not have as many classes but think of it this way, literally all the newest classes are rip offs of the old ones so shouldnt really count as new classes.
and they destroyed Gamania D:
still they have small amount of good games (what are ruined by greedyness. example: Mabinogi.)
NEXON Sucks Ceapest companie there is so many problems and they ignore it and focuse more in maplestory then any other mmo
Well, knowing Maplestory is what got Nexon extremely popular, they should try their best to focus on it (for the sake of all the MS fans) Why are you complaining as well? Didn’t they just update Vindictus with a new character and also updated Dungeon Fighter? To be honest, compared to G1, they aren’t that cheap…
Nexon sucks as a company. And after the Big Bang Patch, MapleStory sucks as a game. All of the new classes are so incredibly overpowered that it makes the game completely un-fun for anyone who likes to stick to the basics and play Adventurers. It’s completely impossible to be good in this game unless you have a lot of money to spend on Nexon Cash, because that’s the only way to get amazingly good equips, and really the only good way to make money. Nexon has completely alienated their original fan base by adding all these “improvements”, and continues to show their inability to care when their members get hacked by the hordes of hackers that frequent this game. All in all, this game is NOT worth playing. Try playing WonderKing instead. It’s new, so there are still a few glitches, but there are virtually no hackers, and the company that runs WonderKing actually responds to your problems. MapleStory receives a 2/10 from me, and that’s only because it was once a great game, but sadly, is no longer.
Eh dude you can’t blame them for the New charactor update and it is not over powered new charactor its just more weaker than the normal adventurer classes and its not requested by them its requested by the fans of maplestory in Korea so please be a bit of respect for Nexon.Please.
This game was really fun and addicting! I had lots of fun on it, but it got boring after a while for the pure grinding and repetitive party quests. Though I really do love the party quests system, great chance to interact with other players and an alternate way to get experience!
Though I hate how you have to be rich to be able to survive on this game. 1 pair of normal work gloves costs like 50,000 mesos! All equipments have gotten their price increased! I was hoping for a new start in new servers, but some people bought cash and transfer their characters! Therefore it’s hard to get a new start so that you’ll be able to afford things. I would come back, but I’m sad now that I cannot be great as many other players who have like 10+ attack work gloves (where a LOT of players have it, for every party I go in for a party quest, there’s bound to be 2 or more people with good equipments)
FANTASTIC GAME. but nexon has been ruining its fun simplisity by adding more advanced and overpowered classes,while i do apprediate the change whats not broken doesnt need to be fixed.
maple story has been around since i was a kid i always wanted to try it but my damn computer wont let me so if u cant download maple story then dont worry they’re naking a facebook version of it i don’t know much about it tho all i know is it has the same kind of custimaztion as the original its still in closed beta tho but i have no clue when it will b in open beta
this game if they made it 3D or 2.5 D
as Maplestory 2 or something it would be awesome and it will get alot of ppls
after i saw this cinematic trailer i thought of being 3d
i’v been playing this game off and on for about 6 years now.
gameplay-
in the early days the game was incredibly grindy with very little to do at end game, in fact the way the level system is set up, level cap was made to be nearly unreachable, took about 2 years if im not mistaking for the first person to hit it. the cap is 200, the highest character i ever got was 94 and it took on average an hour per 10% of a lvl, and dieing just one time resulted in losing 10%, and since at high levels you can die from getting 2, or even 1 shot, you can imagine why level cap was so hard to hit.
fast forward to big bang, they have revamped the whole leveling system, in a very good way. its now possible to get to the interesting job advancements in a matter of a few days rather than a few months. the class system is alright at best, there are 4 classes with 3 different paths that are slightly different, but at later levels, there’s a huge imbalance of class viability. warriors vs magicians for example. every boss has the ability to drop everyones hp/mp down to 1
warrios get their survivability from their massive hp, wheras mages have an ability called magic guard that makes 90% of damage take away from their mp rather than hp, this is fine, except bosses also have the ability to lock your spells that can only be removed with a priests dispel, or a potion. now you can imagine how hard it actually can be to even survive if these 2 abilities overlap, mages have to dispel themselves, hit magic guard, then hit a health/mp potion to survive the next attack, which comes within a few seconds, any latency at all and your dead, wheras the warrior needs to just spam health pots all day and its no problem.
fun game i must say, but at later levels you start to see there really is no point in trying to get better at the game as there is almost nothing to do at level cap, and if you accidently chose the wrong class, may not even be able to kill bosses rendering you completely useless after spending so much time playing.
derindel maplestory has been around for 6 years only
but yeah i played for 6 years too and nexon just wastes our money on nexon cash and people make fun of you if u dont even have any… they would call u poor so actually i quit just like a month ago
does this work for mac
I’ll say it deserves a 7/10. Basically,there are the Adventurers,KoC(Knight Of Cygnus) ,Aran,Evan,Dual Blade,Resistance and the Legend. Each of them,excluding Aran,Evan and DB,has 3/4 sub-classes. It gets kinda grindy when u reach to a higher level. There are mainly only 4 archetypes:Warrior,Bowman,Thief and Magician. Skill animation is awesome! Please try it out at least once. Personally,I quit the game because of boredom and also I do have a life -.- Tonnes of quests for u to do and graphics are very original. RPG,Side-scrolling,2D . However the storyline is not too In-depth like Dragon Saga. Level cap is 200. If u want ur character to be ahem… awesome.. there are such things like pure _____ like pure int,dex,str,luk . WHich means its not like other games where your att range depends on ur eq.(it depends on how u pump ur stats) Ok thats about it .. Give comments for my 1st review ^^
Okay so not only could this be a private serevr, or a completely different version because all the shots of the version and trainer are different recordings, but there are also no monsters killed (As far as I see).Plus that just looks like it kills potions if it isn’t client sided. It looks hella client sided though.
maplestory used to be good when it was hard to level XD and there were sooooo many nice people around back then and congratulate you if get 3rd job advancment (which was damn hard) now its just if you have nx your not poor and a noob if you dont your just a noob and literally everyone is level 120+ and so yeah…….liked it when it was actually wizet and nexon nows its just full on nexon >:U
I have to say man. I LOVE THE MUSIC!!!!
It’s in 2D but I usually play 3D games is it a good game or a bad game cause a lot of people are saying it is not worth playing
this game is one of the best game i have played …games like this u play for a lil then u quite for year are so and come back…
Heh. pretty much what I’ve been doing. Got a mage at 200 now. Just working on quests.
i have no lvl 200′s but 3 lvl 130 and 4 lvl 80 +…
I’ve been playing on and off for about 5 years and I actually enjoy the changes that came about from bigbang. It’s a lot easier to get things done now, and mages can actually boss. That being said, there is a huge gap between free and paying players and nexon’s customer service is somewhat lacking.
THE GOOD:
-VERY expansive and FREE RPG
-Many ways to customize your character
-Oodles of classes to try
-Tons of quests to do
-Party Quests!
-Vast variety of equipment
-200 (or 120) levels to gain
THE BAD:
-Many features of character customization require NX points
-Economy is ridiculous compared to other games’
-In the later levels, leveling up can be arduous
-Can be hard to get an original name for your character
-Graphics and detail
-Sometimes the game can seem to be out to get you
I LOVE this game, its really fun and you can hang out with friends and make your own character.
(you might need Karma Koin, Or if theres a major glitch followed by many maintences, they give you 5k nx)
The game can get REALLY laggy, But I have never been outside of Scania. (Scania is probably the most populated server in ALL channels, so you might wanna choose some of the newer ones E.X Renegade) It has a nice leveling system, (it was harder back then)but it gets harder in the 100s. If you make a Cyngus you only get to 120 as the max, and others are 200.
New classes come out almost every year, but they are mostly an extension of the older classes.
You can hang out with friends, and alot of the time they censor out words. Even though they do, its not exactly “Kid Friendly”. There are also mean people and spammers, which can get annoying.
Even so, its a really fun game, tons of quests, party quests, mini games, (Omok and Card Match)events, and its FREEEEEEEEEEEE~
This once was a really amazingly outstanding game. I first played this game in 2005, leveling was extremely hard but that wasn’t the point of the game. The point of the game was enjoying quest,events,and mostly chatting to friends. Doing all the most goofiest ways in game was the best about maple(ex)KSing noobs in HHG, playing hide and go seek, racing to the finish line in jump quests and if your friends fall off a ledge you “LOL” at them. Those were the good old days.Now Maple is all about leveling to 200 and having the best gears. So hard to find good trusted friends now.
The peoples in game now are Map hogs, mesos hogs, item hogs. Peoples are very impolite and wouldn’t help each other at all. Most of the players now are players who started playing maple Story in the Big Bang update. Iv’e played this game from 2005-2012 and all the changes in the game that i see are immature peoples and hackers.They say that they like the game, but little do they know that the game has gotten from legendary to shit.
i think maplestory is fun i’ve been playin this for a little while. Now iam lvl 92
this game is fun! and i have a lot of friends in the game :3
Maplestory changed alot, I remember feeling so proud cause i had finally got a character to lvl 20. Stopped playing for many years but i just couldn’t forget about it, and i decided to play again. Suddenly i logged on and there’s lvl 100s and lvl 200s running all over the place, and more classes than i’d ever imagine with more to come. Everythings so expensive now so i rely on events for equipment. It was so fun back in the days and random people would party together to help a lower leveled person on a quest or something, now i don’t see that happening much anymore cus everyone’s leveling so fast it’s crazy. But i really cannot bring myself to dislike the game even though it’s not what it used to be, had too many good times in this game, i’ll always remember the wonderful game that Maplestory was.
Yea i played it be4 and train untill lvl 90+ and quit. For me, i mean jsut for me a NEWBIE a NOOB.Whos probably just start off this game..my opinion..this game not that good D: the game is cute, but u get fade up later. Why?first good place to train exp always fill with alot of people and they will just ask u get lost and talk sh*t. second, the jumping is hard D; i am a newbie so… this make me hard to do party quest. activity in maple? train train train train get storng get strong. presure, god. for the maple’s lover, no hard feeling guys. you guys are pro, i amma a newbie noob D; i get fade up. Bye
Well one thing I need to touch base with first is. There needs to be a new first look video of MapleStory.
The one up right now has horrible sound, the clash of what seems like shouting versus how loud the actual game is just.. lol. I dunno how you guys have had it up for a year, just saying!
Now the actual game part!
MapleStory is currently on v.125 and on January 9th it will be on v.126, leaving us with Thirty-five classes total. Twelve of which are Limited/Event release types. Two of those are gender locked.
With the v.123 game update was Tempest: Prelude, it removed the need of the secondary stat for all characters. IE: Warrior used to need STR(Primary) and DEX(Secondary).
Along with that was… The Job Advancement change!
3rd Job: 60 (From 70)
4th Job: 100 (From 120)
Also in v.123 was the max mastery for skills being lowered on a lot of skills through most if not all the classes. Making it probable to max all skills on most classes through all job advancements. Some classes are more complex and thus make you choose a skill(s) to leave behind.
Because that happened the amount of SP gained per level was modified as well.
Anyways, those are some big changes and are not the only ones that MapleStory has received since the update this site has had on this game.
I hope you guys update this page! It would be much appreciated <3

@GamerBewbs
Any chance you can tell me how to make the 3rd job advancement for a priest now, after all the changes. It seems you have to kill Zakhum???
who ever did the first look is kinda stupid its a basic game thats very easy to understand and he can’t even figure out how to equip an item obviously if he looked at his character which he claims is to small even thought it fits perfectly in the world, you can see the character wincing and huffing for air like its out of breath. Hmmm oh wait it stopped it seems this happens when i get hit by monster say let me climb onto a rope and wait 3 seconds so I can equip my item. Also like he said the starter weapon sucks so obviously grinding with it isn’t a good idea. He did a horrible first look the games noob friendly but you can’t figure it out x.x
Here is the game in a nutshell as of right now.
Hacks are selling ATT scrolled earrings and such for tons of in game cash. You can not really get anywhere without ATT scrolled items at first then you have to % scroll, cube, AND Chaos scroll rare drops to get to 200.
You are always almost able to mob at the best xp spots and by the time you get to it the xp means nothing and you have to find a new spot. Game is geared towards pay to win in all aspects, you can limp along if you want but the in game market is ridiculous and you have to buy a market stand just to sell anything unless you want to stand around yelling at people that your trying to sell stuff.
Everyone that plays is either an egotistical little girl or a fat dude that wants to max out everything.
some guys are telling that the MS was better before the big bang update what happen and what was the big bang update . reply please I think I am going to play this game but I want trusted friends.
It was better beforehand however you can still have fun. Just expect to mob your way past some levels and unless your willing to pay money, you will grind quests to get random rewarded scrolls to make it far.
A general tip would be get a Cygnus Knight or whatever to level 120, it will add stats to your next character you make, preferably an Ultimate Explorer that you earn after reaching level 120 as a Cygnus Knight. Make one character a Miner/Smith and the other a Herb/Alch so you can have fluid supplies to level each aspect up.
Download seems like it will take long but PMB fixes that. Should take an hour or two, just make sure to uninstall PMB so it is not eating your bandwidth.
If you want an easier solo based experience just play as one of the Hero classes, you will have no problems maxing it out and it is still a fun experience.
hmm finaly a download that will be good and not take much time….. WAIT 4GB !
This used to be a great game, then suddenly they added jump down, changed the maps and started adding new classes, starting with pirates.
MapleStory was at its best at v.55.
I’d say the perfect MapleStory server to play in would be a v.55 with 4x exp, 2x mesos, 2x drop and around 100-200 players online at any given time.
Sadly there isn’t any.
