Yeah I tried playing the first mission of arcana during my lunch hour at work and I wasn't that impressed with it. I think I will eventually get around to it though.
So....maple has changed very very much since I stopped playing like 4 years ago. I went to ghost pirates on my fire/ poison mage and they really didn't do much damage to me at all. And it was extremely fast killing and exp gain. I still need to get used to my keybinds. I played warcraft for about two years, and I keep wanting to grab the mouse.
