Hiya.

First off this is like the old 'Yuki Rates' things i did AGES ago. But yea.

Well today I downloaded Maple Story just to see what its like, and i 've played for maybe.... an hour or so. So, here i go:

Graphics: Well they're Okay, the backround is nostalgic to thoose who played Rayman on the old Playstation. The Anime Style is quite good and the 'Loading Screens' are very pretty and uplifting. Rating: 9/10

Gameplay: Errrrr, i HAVE seen better, but i have also seen worse. I found it kinda cramped and a little confusing, but i DO like the quests, although some take a few seconds to understand. Rating: 7/10

Controls and Battle System: Wow, I REALLY liked the battle system, Since your not just clicking and letting it do it itself, your in control. The Controls are also quite simple to use if you read and use them. Rating: 10/10

Items: Well.....Here is where i knock points off, They have the old 'Cash shop' which seems to be full of EXCELLENT items but i have very little idea how to buy them without ordering cash. And this is usually a drawback in my books as i dont have money i can spend of theese things. But the items your given are ok. Rating: 4/10

Overall: I think this is something i will keep playing this, but it seems like i might end up going off it, or i might not. It seems really good so far and I cant wait to continue playing!
Overall rating: 7/10

Anyone else played and has C+C about it?
 
I really liked it, but it just got too boring after a while, all you do is quest, grind, buy new equips, and the chain starts over again.
 
Pay to play MMORPG's like WoW, Aion, Everquest, Eve online, and Final Fantasy XI are better in my opinion, but I guess people have different tastes in online games.
 
I usually play 3 or more times a week. I like it, I just wish they would make it easier to level. My username is Dragela if you wanna add me.
 
I played for a while, but it got confusing because I didn't know where to go. Then I got the hang of it, and I was like, "HOLD UP, WTF AM I KILLING CUTE PIXELS?!"
So I quit after lol.
 
i used to play this around 2 years ago. if you know how to lvl fast and make money fast its an easy 9/10. it gets much better if you are a higher lvl.

gameplay is awesome especiallly 70+
grafics are soso
recently they added many new areas so there are many places to explore
quests are fun

id say this is more for a softcore gamer/ social type game

The game is more fun if you have friends that play.

Reasons why people think Maple is boring:

Grinding - You don't do quests; You're too lazy to do quests; Don't train in right areas
No Money - Don't pick up mesos; Don't sell things; Don't get equips to sell
Equips - It takes patience to get enemies to drop equips

Think I put enough emphasis on patience?

This will always be the case.

I've personally never liked MapleStory, if I was forced to play any free MMORPG it would either be Flyff or Rappelz, I think they're the best ones.
 
Tbh with you guys im TRYING to find something which is like FF games, As fun packed as RS/WoW, at least free to play, a large selection of equip items and free to play.

Then try the games I suggested.
 
MapleStory is and has always been a horrible game, just because they added animu scenes and Easy+Hard mode doesn't change the fact that it's a stale and repetitive MMO.

Here's a list of games I reccomend:

Runescape
Ether Saga Online
Cabal Online
Asdastory
Exteel
Wonderking
Torchlight (Not free but a good game)
