This forum is already covered with the answers to these questions. Doesn't this seem a little pointless?

I like that I can dress in all pink.

Not enough bacon related content.

Good: 2D side scroller with graphcis and gameplay like no other

Bad: NX is a 100% requirement and not just a small amount, HUGE AMOUNTS. (If can't afford NX you can replace the word NX for time and multiply that for 10).

No auto-attack

Hold down skills act like auto attacks, if you alt+tab or click out of the window while holding the skill down it will continue to use it, and hold down skills also are not affected by the antibot hit limit. With a jr.boogie familiar or auto pot, you can just click and afk for some classes (works well for Xenon Blade Dancing in Evo world).

Also, to get back on topic:

Maple was fun at first, when there were so many places to explore, quests to do, and the like. It was also a simpler design and I liked 2D games more. New classes (and new content in general) is what kept me playing for the most part. I never really had a main and liked to try out all the classes. But over time it got very repetitive and boring. Events helped, but then it just turned into: farm X amount of monster/coins/item. That, and many of the people I knew from when Nova opened quit.... like 90%.....

I also found better ways to waste my time, like anime and lolis.

Maple was very grindy which was fine because that was the way it was. Then there was this wall that appeared. A gigantic wall that was impossible to pass without money.

Annnnd you made someone else curious

OT:the good thing about maple is its a simple game and easy to get into. the bad thing is this area where things are too weak or too strong to solo and the comunity doesnt like parting up.

Maple was very grindy which was fine because that was the way it was. Then there was this wall that appeared. A gigantic wall that was impossible to pass without money.

More like, non payers could slowly climb up with their bare hands. The walls are covered in their blood, sweat, tears, and urine. The people that payed small amounts could get some decent climbing gear to make it go faster. If they payed slightly more, or took advantage of some events, they could get some pretty good gear and would eventually get the hang of climbing the wall. And eventually, they may make it to the top. Some would fall off, some would quit, and some may even die. And when they made it to the top, what did they see? More walls. More and more walls, as far as the eyes could see. But, at the very edge of the horizon, there was a faint golden sparkle. It was this hopeful goal, this promised land, that they slaved away to reach, only to realize they never would, not at their pace, and not in their lifetime.

And then the people that gave out the real money could just nuke that pesky wall, and the ones behind it too.

The good:
-Pretty good music
-Cutesy
-Many different classes
-Probably many people's first MMORPG
-Has a lot to give for a F2P game

The bad:
-Pay2Win has gone too far, not to mention you can dump thousands of dollars into this game and still not be good enough
-Expiring NX clothes/pet stuff/shops
-Cubes
-Only the truly invested can get a sort of return from the time and money put into the game
-Did I mention the return/enjoyment you get for your money is really horrendous in comparison to other F2P games?

well i dont be on the forums like that ... i wasnt aware of another thread like mines.... why get mad tho ? just ignore it....

Never said I was mad, but this is the second time, and it was pointed out the first time. Not to mention you have posted in the parent threads so its not like you didn't know they were there. And it seems like every single time someone disagrees with you in a thread, you go and make a new thread so you can bring more attention to your question or yourself.

Also, its not the forum, its a user. Not the whole forum, just one person that doesn't seem to realize its them.

that's cheating though.

Moneybags from Spyro found his way into MapleStory.

"I used to know how to knock down this wall...but I'm feeling rather forgetful. I feel like some money might help jog my memory. How about....five thousand of your gemsdollars?"
