Play a Private Server -.-

User Rating: 7 | Maple Story PC
By maple_fan_1391 | Review Date:
Graphics (7): Good. Older towns need some upgrades, while newer towns like Leafre or Ereb (currently only in Korean version) are amazing.
Music (7): Decent. Could be a little better.
Community (1): Horrible. Basically everyone is rude, and you are constantly being harassed while the GameMasters don't do anything to stop it.
Gameplay (2): The gameplay is good, however it takes multiple years to actually reach goals (and yes, years in real life, there is no time in the game). Also, the job classes are heavily unbalanced. Plus, it's all grinding.
Learning Curve (4): Actually an easy game to learn, however, they are ALWAYS changing stuff, so you always have to learn new things.
Replay Value (1): Very low. If you actually do beat this game, you will probably want to quit.
Story (0): For a game that has Story in the name, there is no story. Any story is only available from impossible to complete quests with horrible rewards, that will only hinder your training efforts, not help them.
Bottom Line: Decent game, if you play on a Private server.
