Maple Story (free online RPG)

[Goufunaki]

Ok, it's not quite FFXI, or WoW, but I still found some fun in it. Wasn't sure about it at first because it was a ad banner from newgrounds, and most of what they advertise is crap. But I tried it out. It's like a platformer RPG.

Over 400mb for the download. How these guys make their money is from selling special currency to buy special items and other event items, but from what I've seen so far that's not even neccessary to enjoy this. The only jobs or classes i know of in this are Warrior, Archer, Thief, and Magician. I of course chose my favorite role as a thief.

No automatic battles. You fight in real time and have to keep pressing the ctrl key to attack.

Right now i'm currently lv11 and have an awesome axe (i don't have a pic to show that yet)

When you level up you earn Skill Points, and the great thing about this is you can spread them to whatever stat you want. I haven't been in a party yet, but from what I played so far, it seems pretty solo friendly. All armors and weapons you get actually are shown on your character, plus they have different colors of each armor piece to give more customization.

If anyone wants to try it out, i've been running around the Windia world, on channel 20. http://intro.mapleglobal.com/
I think i'l keep myself busy with this until PSU is released.

Heared about it, I like Guild Wars though.

I dunno, I might check it out, i've been on a RPG binge lately.

[KumoShinagi]

I have a character on it. I just wish it supported game pads though. :(

[altoecko]

It's downloading now, it should be done in a few hours. My name is Altoecko, I'll look you up once I get started.

[TechStorm]

Nice find.

[d2king10]

Yeah i played it awhile back, and the game becomes boring pretty fast if the game isnt for you.

Also, the grind is HUGE in the game. But its good for a free game :D

[Libby]

I've got this too. Haven't been on, 'cause as soon as I DLed it, I lost internet. I'm librainred (if people can't guess who I am ANYwhere by now) But I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm still learning how to use it.

[Zieg Rauros]

If you want a party member I play a lot, I can make a new char on windia with you. I got a 11 warrior and a 9 magician, on Bera and Broa.

[Kefka Jr.]

... Is it Korean?

[Goufunaki]

seems to be made by them, yeah. the game itself is in english

[Red Dragon]

Gawd this game LAGS. I can't do anything without nit taking 23 seconds to do.

[Zieg Rauros]

I have never gotten lag on the game, EVER. Which server and channel are you on Red Dragon?

[Red Dragon]

The first one...

[Zieg Rauros]

The first one doesn't say much... there are like, 12 channels in every one of the 8(?) servers.

[Red Dragon]

Umm, It lags to much to make me want to check,

It's the Very first one, ie 1st server 1st channel.

[Libby]

Okay, so I've actually got somewhere with this game, and I'm lonely. Anyone on the Windia Server? I'm LibraEnRose, battleing desperately to become a theif (failing miserably) and should be around. :D

[Geno Blue]

after I make a character play for awhile and sign off I can never use my old character again...am I just missing something?

[jase]

I played it but I stoped playing for some reason. Now I can't remember my password...or maybe it's my username I'm getting wrong. I'm SO confused

[Zieg Rauros]

Are you sure you went on the same server? Chars are server exclusive.

[Goufunaki]

i'll be on for a little bit tonight. i am usually in Kerning City when I need to sell things.

[IRC]

I'm on Windia server. Inragedcow. Man this game is addicting. I played for an hour and I'm already lv 6. I'm kinda thinking about being a bowman. I know everyone probably wants to be a thief.

I'm doing the Mia and Biggs quests right now. Damn those big mushrooms.

[Vanilla Iced Tea]

It seems like it could be a decently fun time-waster. You might see me on Windia as Gloucester. And you might ignore me like Inragedcow.

[tamoki]

I had a level 30 cleric, but I gave that account away.

How am I supposed to know it's you?

[Vanilla Iced Tea]

'Cause I was like, "Hey, dude, This is Vanilla Iced Tea."

I'm usually Windia Channel 2.

[IRC]

So I bought a ticket to Orbis to get a better claw and now I'm stuck because I only brought enough money for the claw.

[Tex Ritter]

I think this game is kind of fun. Just a 'lil bit.

I am level 8 and on Windia Channel 2. "BungoDee"

Maple Story DS (http://ds.ign.com/articles/753/753842p1.html?RSSwhen2007-01-09_042300&RSSid=753842) It's not coming until September in Korea and who knows when elsewhere.

[The Dark Jester]

I play. but not much.

I got my friend and her boyfriend into it though.

[IRC]

I stopped playing after it took me more than an hour to level up.

[Alzar]

wtf idiots this should be in the online forum

wtf is it doing in the non online forum

god

[Denmo]

Because this topic is older than the online forum.

God.

Maple Story DS sounds intriguing.

[John Mora]

If by intriguing you mean Korean.

:racism

[DBtheProdigy]

I play this game and im a lvl 26 archer name heroicfalnor in windia sever.

[IRC]

Eh, I got to the point where it took more than a few hours to level up and I stopped playing. It's an ok game, but it really really needs a plot.

[hitogoroshi]

And it needs to get rid of those damn snails. I don't want to kill eighty billion snails. Geez.

[JPS]

Im downloading it, Ill update this post when I register:)

Username is jstaples

[DBtheProdigy]

After taking a break from this game for about a year, i've picked it back up. Alot of things have changed since I played last, like 6 new classes and party questing. It's also a TON easier to level up. Levels 1-20 can be accomplished in a short 3 hours. I'm level 70 now because it got addicting... If anyone wants to play im still on the same server with the same character.
