~~Have played this game for 10-12 years. Thousands and millions of wasted gamehours. And euros. ~~ - Proud owner of the #1 Battlemage (EU) ages ago :)) <There could be more things in this review but ill just put the things that come first in my mind> Positive: + Region combining added more players and motivation into it. Noice. + Overall, I feel like the game is going into right direction, since you dont need years of playtime (or 5000€) to make a high end character. ~ Quick example about playtime: Pre Big Bang update in 8 hours of pure grinding you got to lvl 30. Now pure grinding of 8 hours will get you to lvl 130. But it will get a lot slower after that ye. ~ Quick example about high end characters / money waste: You used to need literally hundreds of euros to scroll and cube a high tier weapon(/item) Now you dont need the scrolls (Reboot) and can get the cubes with mesos (Reboot also) Negative: - Probably no player will keep playing or understand the greatness of this 2D Anime MMORPG if they have never played it before (back in the days). I just feel like it xDD come on look at this game.... Late 2024 edit: It's so fking totally ruined I miss old maplestory so much :)

ATTENTION EUROPEAN PLAYERS: Avoid playing on European servers at all costs, it's trash. Just play on the NA one, the european server lags like crazy. Especially if you've got strong internet, in that case you won't feel any lag in NA, while there'll always be lag on the european server, as it's the server's problem. I don't want to beg for "likes", but please upvote this review so people can be aware of this. Thank you in advance :) Edit: I recently came back to MapleStory and remembered this review, so I should update to let you know that the EU server no longer lags and it's absolutely fine to play in. HOWEVER, be aware that Maple Story has always been many times more popular in the USA than in Europe, so our server is nowhere near a populated as the american one

I will say this, in my opinion, this is one of the best free-to-play MMORPG's you'll ever find it is so in depth and specific and so many different quests, monster, bosses, and events you will never be bored. But I will say this this a game where you need to work for your levels, in this case characters go up to lv 250, this may seem like a lot but actually u don't really need to go past 120, and in general if you find the right areas it wont be hard. This is a great game to play with friends in fact its almost recommended, but in my case since none of my friends play this game I just put a Youtube Let's Play on the side and its great. Background Information: Been playing this game for 3 years, am 16 now was 13 when I started and still love it. Defiinitely recommend it, so many classes to choose from, You'll definitely enjoy it its a great experience!

Game is great. Reboot is really awesome if you want to progress with your friends, or just by yourself without spending ANY money. Have been playing this game for 2006, and have really fallen in love again the last 2 months. I would suggest anyone to at least try it if they enjoy an mmo especially one with unique sidescrolling graphic and a beautiful soundtrack.

I remember this game from my childhood as the game that i could spend countless hours on and only make it to level like 30 XD. I mean honestly that isnt this game anymore but now a days its more of a boss game which is fun in its own way. But from all the years this game has lots of customization and i love it to this day.
