Some Wonderking eye candy.
These are supposed to be items of high level characters from different jobs.
Credit goes to the guys at http://www.wonderkinghq.com
The game isn't even out yet and they are already providing much information.
Anyway:
IMHO, I like them way better than those in MS. I'm liking this game even more.

Let's make a deal. Every time someone says Maplestory clone you will give me 25 cents. I will be a millionaire in just few hours :3
On topic: The characters look nice. Very detailed.

You kinda missed your chance. Most onrpgers already know about this game (and already called it a MS CLONE LOLWUT). Here's a marzipan for you though.

Fixed for ya, hek it was #1 on mmorpg.com's top 10 most overused/misinterpreted words on the net.
On Topic: Those Sprites actually look really well done, love the clothing on some of them, look pretty sweet

You gotta admit they look very simular to MS character especially in the face. I'll call it a maple story cousin! boom, no 25 cents for you this day.

Why do you wish for this game to have a terrible community.I hate marzipan
Too sweet for me.

According to people that already played the JP version it plays similar to MS, just well... better.

This may be the Maplestory killer.
Definitely will be playing this in the near future.

I just read about several features that I loved:
* Seems that every monster is capable of dropping its card. If you collect three cards (A, B and C) you can transform into that monster for 18 minutes. Not sure if that means you get the skills/attributes, but it's still pretty amazing.
* There are mounts. Some are huge cats, some are cars (yes... cars). They require cash, though.
* Shops are free. That means you can put up a shop without cash.
* Daily chance event. Monsters will drop a capsule that takes you into a minimap filled with treasure chests and mimics that drop money and items.
* Play 1 hour for five days and you will be able to receive a special high-value item.
* Party system: Similar to Dragonica in the way that as the party hunts together you build a EXP jackpot that gets split between all the members at the end of the party.
I know, I'm hyping the game way too much. But... but... it might be the MS killer that I have been looking forward to.

Should put a little disclaimer: "Warning, all items, costumes and weapons you see here can only be acquired via cash shop."
Also: needs customizable keys.

Pah, It'll be the same as Maple Story with the dead community of GHOST. If it's ever brought here, Nexon will find a way to reel people back anyway. Maple Story is the 2D sidescrolling tycoon in North America and Europe. To say something that looks like Maple Story will replace Maple Story is simply not true and highly unlikely. Maple Story's established player-base is just too strong to die anytime soon and as the years go by they can simply make a sequel or implement a graphics overhaul. The only possible way a game like Maple Story will die is when the developer runs out of steam. But developers are fueled by money and Nexon is pretty much swimming in money now.
What makes 2D side-scrollers better than others is the content and the community, the more players, the more there is a demand for content, the more content, the more players. the cycle of a MMORPGs success is very, very hard to break and the only plausible way to break a games popularity is the royally **** it up with imbalance and whatnot. With Maple Story, they really know what they're doing with it. It's a very social game; like World of Warcraft and has enough content and people to keep balance in the game. PvP? Maple Story never needed it because the community never really cared for it and in a game like Maple Story it would simply be a waste of time to implement because of it being 2D the system would be too simplistic and unattractive. Maple Story is fine and with the continued support of Nexon, it will be for many years. People who see games and call out "THIS'LL BE AN X GAME KILLER!" should be beaten with a broad stick
- Killzone is not the Halo killer
- WAR is not the WoW killer
- Taikodom is not the Air Rivals killer
- and; Wonderking is certainly not going to be the Maple Story Killer
There's more the an MMO game than features and graphics, so much more; developers and publishers may not grasp them all but sometimes, SOMETIMES; they will grasp enough to make a loving and loyal playerbase with features fitting both the game and the playerbase. That OnRPG is what makes a game 'Killer'.

@ Tax : you are right with you answer but MS is allready killed and i think it wasnt that hard to kill because its not really a good game.
look at the top sidescroller and you will see that MS is not at the top ^^

How exactly can you check that?

It seems pretty high to me, unless you're stupid enough to call Diablo 2 a 2D sidescroller.

IT'S JUST MAPLESTORY.
the only difference is-
1. Graphics are way more appealling. Some of the equipment has motion even without you moving.
2. Pets are helpful, and the mobiles (mounts) are awesome
3. WAY better hit detection. no OH LULZ 5 FEET AWAY HIT
4. Better feel of controls.

MapleStory isn't populated, dead even lol...right. Because Xfire statistics are completely accurate.
Wonderking is like a slightly better version of MapleStory. If you like 2D side scrollers I'd say you guys will find it fun but it's not a MapleStory killer (not that it needs to be anyway).
The physics for Wonderking are vastly different than MS btw. You have better control over your jumps and you get 2 of em plus everyone can attack while in the air. The min and max damage range is also much closer so you'll have a more stable damage pattern. There are a lot of major and minor differences as well that you guys will find out soon enough I guess.
Just don't expect this to be more than it is. We've been through this before, it's a decent game if you are into 2D side scrollers but it's not going to change the minds of the people who can't stand these type of games in the first place. It's fun but not revolutionary.

Find something more accurate than claiming its death and I'll believe you.

nah i am right but ok. I will stop. Saw that you are a ms player so i guess you will protect it ^^Not important for me.
yup. Like every gameI'd rather not hype the game because I don't really want to play it, but it seems like it'll be better than Maple.

You still haven't proven squat.
I did play Maple Story yes. We all have. The last time I logged on was in 2008.

I don't really care one way or another if you believe me, if you want to use Xfire as your source that MS is "dead" that's fine but last time I checked the servers still had people playing in them.
