So, I thought this would be the best place for this thread. Move if not.

So, I've been playing maplestory for years and a bit wow in between. Now I spotted this game and got some questions. I've tried to once before for like 15mins.. tongue

1) How does getting money work? Can you hunt enemies to live or is it also possible to merchant? Is here any 'auction house' type of place where you can sell stuff and is it free or like NX based like in maplestory?
2) Is it still laggy? I remember when I tried this game last time it lagged the hell outta me.
3) Is this possible to be played in short periods, unlike maple requires you to play hours and hours straight if you want to achieve something?
4) What would be a good boss class or a damage dealer class? Im not quite sure how does this game work but I expect bosses and such. Correct?
In maple I chose mage class which turned out to be grind-only-or-quit class. So here I wanna choose a heavy damage dealer class. smile Dont worry, in all games I always like all classes except the support ones, which I find kinda boring. No need to say "pick a class that matches your style". Maybe name a few classes that might match for those requirements.
5) Any guides for classes? I wouldnt like to fail my char at beginning, I failed quite a few in maplestory and thats annoying. I wouldn't like to repeat it here.
6) How does upgrading items work? A gem based system as in wow or a luck based scroll system as in maplestory?

I just hope this isnt a game like maplestory: free to play - pay to enjoy.

Also: Joining some nice, active & helpful guild. (I dont know my IGN yet as I havent ene downloaded the game yet.)
Thanks for your time.

How did you need to pay in MS to go aynwhere ? I had like 5 70+ 1 of wich were 100 +

For shop to merchant etc. in ems you cant get free nx via mts and when I played gms there was no mts. :P You just cant merchant well without a shop, you cant reset stats without ap resets and cant look good with lukless equips.

So, just answer about the latale stuff and use ms only for comparing. :P

Thats called a balanced cash shop theres no real advantage to be honest. It takes more time to do things other ways. Go play mabinogi or a real CS dependant then QQ plox.

Anyways , your comparing games that shouldnt be compared the only simularity is that there side scrollers.

Latale is grindier , and much harder to meet people due to lack of PQ's.

MS has the worse comunity of the two.

Thats all I can say realy.

Well in the 1st post I listed quite a many questions. Im only looking for answers for them. :P

Also, I dont like heavy CS dependant games, cause I get addicted to the value whatever it is.. nx etc.

Again they both do everything you asked for difrently, Im not the one to say who did it right.

However just DL it , its well worth the 15 minute download.
