MapleStory

Background

Maple Story is a Korean massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that's rising in popularity. While the Korean version of the game thrives, the English version is still lacking in comparison to the original. However Wizet, the developers of the game, are always releasing new patches and upgrading the game. Maple Story has plenty of potential but it's not quite there all the way yet.

Gameplay

Explore a totally new and unknown world you have never been to, put on beautiful clothes and gorgeous accessories, and even attract other users in the process. You may begin the journey to explore the world of unknown alone, but you may come out on the other end with numerous new friends through hunting and chatting. The games objective is to hunt down monsters and protect yourself in the process. You'll be given 5 paths to choose from, 5 that will define your life in MapleStory: Warrior, Bowman, Thief, Magician, and the newly added Pirate job. Through leveling up and meeting some requirements, you'll be able to make job advancements and nurture your character in your own, unique way.
