The Bottom Line:

"Don't believe the hype"

Maplestory is an absolute waste of time and i have no idea why i played for so long. The optional add ons(cash shop) cost like $2ea and only last for 90 days. There is nothing to do but key mash all day and break you keyboard. I play for about 30 hours and was just so disappointed with a game that had so much potential. You can only grind level up your charactar get your fist job then grind get your second job grind so more its just so repetive and the fact that you can only go through portals to get to another map is just annoying. Also the map is so small that by the time you level 30 you have been almost every were. Orbis,Showa,Victoria island, Florina Beach,Under to sea,NlC,desert,Leafre, Lego land(forget how to spell) there are more(i think) but these i can remember. Also the only way to get to half of these is to go throuhg orbis which take the better part of an hour. I would give it a lower score but I can't. By the way most players are basment dewlers.
