    Default what's the point?

    well ive been facinated with maplestory for the past few days with like, why do people go through so much to get to such high levels?

    well i downloaded a *cough* server and played to 200 a few times, got a nice, smart guild (the community was much better than the real game's), and did a few boss battles

    and i realised once you do the boss battles that's it, that's the end of the game, they werent even that fun or even challanging. You just stand there and spam pots and skills untill the bitches die

    so why do people try so hard to get to high levels? and i dont mean the people who stay on there for the community i mean the people who actually level

    Because 90% of the population are 12 year olds who beg for their mommys and daddys to buy them nx so they can get a gf thats a guy IRL.

    And most of them don't realize end game is the most boring and unrewarding shit ever

    I'm still with my answer though.

    They play because one of them thinks its cool and 'in' and drag all of their friends in with them, and usually their pretty newb to the MMO world.

    Its like a pyramid scheme.

    that's probably right, it's too bad to actually be called a game so it must be a marketing scheme!

    Its getting bad guyz seriously. We dont need to see the same topics over and over.

    You wanna know why people play maplestory?

    Because its Fun and simple. You dont need to worry about Huge tactical builds or any of that junk. And like you said the boss fights are easy. Do you honestly think they wanted to make Maplestory to have huge strategic gameplay?

    Look at the audience they were looking for!!!

    And donald if you honestly think 90% of the population are 12 year olds or younger you also need to read my first line over to yourself a few times. LOL at you 200+ maple hours btw talk about insulting yourself.

    Im not flaming you i just think the boards are getting filled with too much spam threads.
    Not to troll or anything , but you just failed , quite epicly.

    He's asking why people stress over ZOMG I GIT TOO LVALS 180 I R T3H LEETZOR.

    There difrent topics , if he was wondering WHY people played I'd doubt he'd be playing , Yaw mean ?

    Anyways, in an MMORPG , your main objective is to roleplay and move forward in thus role play , not saying its fun all the time , but thats your #1 goal. If your looking for a comunity based game , play gaia :P.


    Edit : I just realized you could take this as a "Flame" or a diss , or what not. It wasnt intended to spark an argument just wanted to help the OP here :P.

That destroys the point of MMORPG's. Thats why leval caps are quite boring IMHO.You sit at thus leval and you cant progress any further.


    To simplyify it.

    Question one. Why do people play Maplestory , ITS BAD.

    Question two. I play maplestory , but I dont understand why people put so much strain on levaling , elaberate ?
    Humm good point but i think the no level cap thing is a whole new discussion in itself. There have been some games with it and it doesnt work UNLESS they added in the feature talked about in a different topic where mobs level up.

    Once someone got a huge level they could just do anything they wanted and 1hit anything they wanted how much work would the devs have to put in to keep everything balanced especially if there is pvp. level 1000000000000000000 vs level 1000000000 doesnt seem very fair now does it.

    Aha , see thats why I like grindy ass gritty games xD.

    A game with MS's grind (Thats fun though FUN GRINDING FTW) where they'd update the leval cap through expansions and what not(Like WoW) with deep content , would be straight up beast , I have high hopes for B&S :-\.

    WAR3 ----------------> WoW

    WAR3 was thriving then Blizzard decided to kill it and make an MMORPG out of it

    did someone seriously make this thread? rofl this is probably the oldest news on onrpg. Maplestory is fun until about level 70, that is when the party quests run out (except the horrendous pirate party quest that barely gives you any reward). The monster carnival is actually insanely fun and addicting. I also had fun in Ludibruim Maze PQ and Orbis PQ. But at level 70 your only left to grind on like 2 or 3 different mobs for another 130 increasingly time consuming levels. I have a level 73 white knight and i just logged out when i stopped having fun. Im sure they will release PQs or something at some point in the future, no reason to level now. Its free to play its not like we lose something by not playing.

    having a good pvp system always adds fun to the game, and gives more reason to play a game imo
