This game fucking blows, do NOT spend your time on it, you will be MUCH happier as a person. The art is super good though.
Nostalgia misses this.
Peak gaming when I was 7 years old
era brabo
maplestory is a massive inspiration to me but unfortunately it has been left in kmmo hell. endless events, gacha, and desperate attempts to keep the remaining playerbase enfranchised.
the music and artwork is truly beautiful.

Great game if you played it before 2010. It's shit now though.
Antigamente era bom, agora virou varzea.
Played this taking 1h turns sharing the PC with my lil brother. He was way better than me. I was shocked when found while on a trip at KR that it was still successful/remembered there.
um dos melhores mmos da minha infancia, minha primeira experiencia sendo shemale acidentalmente so pq gostava de fazer garotinha fofa no jogo
Other than the annoying grinding quests (AKA kill 200 bicycle monsters), the soundtrack and childhood memories are strong with this game.
Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
2003? Solid 5.
2023? Barely a 3.
Wizet era was the absolute best and it's unfortunate what Nexon NA did when they finally got a hold of it after they considered it a failure. One of the biggest cases of P2W to ever happen for quite some time and it's not even fun anymore playing through new classes that come out.

Very cute art style. Makes me forget I'm murdering thousands of creatures.
Still actively playing one of my favorite games since entering adulthood. If you don't like grinding 💯 , tough love for you. Priotize your time in-game that's what I do, because it gets boring quick.
I never knew how to play, but man, little me loved watching those music videos that people would make
The Brazilians servers were incredible. Only good memories from this game. I understand that this is not a technically good game, but my heart can't say a bad thing about it
Good memories, but it's a cash cow and grindy mess.
Obv the game turned different with the years, haven't tried it recently but I grew up along this game and have had friends.
I miss Extalia tho, played lot of GMS too

This game changed my whole life but sadly it is so ass. The KING of Timegating mmorpgs and enemy of the free to play player. Nexon is the Hitler of Game Companies
Pre-BB was such a great experience. Now it's just a cash grab with mindless killing monsters with no social elements whatsoever.
Giving this 2.5 stars because it's the average of 5 stars (Maplestory in 2005) and 0 stars (Maplestory in 2023)
I tear up every time I think about this game. The memories I have with this game are something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I feel so lucky to have grown up with this game and the soundtrack is genuinely beautiful but it has just been outclassed by plenty of other MMO's throughout the years. Still a phenomenal game, but a game better left in my memory.
This game was good back in the day, and the soundtrack is wonderful. But it's lost the magic that made it special.
played it when i was a kid and it was probably my most magical video game experience
revisited the retail server for long enough to get an idea of what the game was actually about (starforcing) and found a lot to like, but ultimately left me wanting a little more. dropped it for path of exile

My most played game. 2156 hours tracked via Xfire, with an estimated ~2000 more before/after the Xfire days. The only MMO that would run on my laptop in middle school completely won my heart and was an integral part of my life until I finished high school. Made some great friends and memories. Bera pride.
Maplestory is one of those games I can keep going back to even if I haven't played for a year or two. The story itself is charming and memorable, and I have many fond memories of it from my high school-college years. I've been able to experience many different eras of the game via private servers and the official servers. It's a fun way to just kill time fighting hordes of monsters in a beautiful pixel-art world.
incredible memories, sadly game is dead now
I have spent many, many hours in this game and have spent a lot of my money on it. This is probably the game that consumed the majority of my time between 2005 and 2015. I have a ton of memories made in it that I get incredibly nostalgic for. The soundtrack slaps harder than a brick to my face, but there is no denying that Nexon absolutely destroyed everything great about this game.
The cracks began to form in 2012 after the Big Bang update completely overhauled the game. The maps changed, entire class structures changed, monster levels were randomly boosted or nerfed, a lot of content was removed, and it began to really chip away at what I thought was the pure joy this game gave. It slowly started shifting towards becoming a pay to win model, where people willing to spend billions of mesos always fared way better than people who couldn't, ruining the casual playerbase.
Anyone not able to play often were suddenly left behind by their now overleveled friends and guildmates. Party quests and traveling shut down and the social aspect died with them. Grinding for forever to get to max level and having the best equipment became normal gameplay.
I have tried several times to randomly get back into this game, but it's just a husk of what it once was. You barely run into anyone anymore and the only thing to do in it is to just grind levels out forever. Nexon is still an awful company, so I am done trying to get back into this game even as a meme. Very disheartening, but the soundtrack at least lives on.

Another gem from my childhood. I've tried to get back into it in recent years but it's far too time consuming. I do enjoy the memories made.
okay game. i havent played it in years but the gameplay loop gets pretty monotonous unless you're really in to repetitive mobile-gaming type objectives. it's really cute though.
