Free Maplestory Download
When I first downloaded MapleStory I thought, “Hey, a neat 2d MMORPG. This could be pretty cool.” But as I started playing it, I began to realize the monotony of the game.

Leveling: Leveling up takes an insane amount of time. I have been playing this game for almost a year and the highest level I have gotten was 28. The most experience I got from a monster was around 120, but that was on a double-experience day. Now, take into account that some levels take up over 100,000 exp to level. It would take you killing 800+ [120 exp] monsters that don’t spawn very often and are some times challenging, on a 2x exp day for you to level ONCE.
Combat: Combat is extremely boring and repetitive. Depending on your character type, you will use at most 5 attacks throughout the entire game. Most combat goes like this: Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, run away, heal, repeat. This as you can imagine gets incredibly boring, making the leveling process even more tiresome.
Character/Enemy Creation: This part of the game was a huge letdown. When you start a character, you can choose from about 5 faces, 3 hair styles, and maybe 3 colors for hair. There are just as few clothing options. You can access more clothes/faces/etc by purchasing items from the “Cash Shop,” but otherwise you’ll run around looking like everyone else. Enemies, on the other hand, can vary quite a bit. They go from Snails to giant floating pieces of armor, such as Gate Guardians. For the most part, the enemies are well designed and fit the style of game really well.
