MapleStory

MapleStory is a free, two-dimensional, side-scrolling Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game developed by Wizet and distributed by various companies. The game takes place in the "Maple World," which players must defend against monsters. As in a typical online game, players can mold their characters to their liking by increasing their abilities. Interaction between users is encouraged in a variety of ways, including chatting, trading, and playing minigames.

Though the game is free to play, players may purchase various enhancements and upgrades in the Cash Shop using real money.

Gameplay
Like the typical online game, players engage in combat with monsters in various dungeons and fields and complete quests, therefore earning them experience and Mesos, the game's currency. Gameplay involves the use of the keyboard, to open windows and execute skills, and the mouse, which is used to trigger NPCs.

By earning experience, characters will eventually level-up. Each level-up grants the character bonuses to their abilities and skills. The maximum possible level is 200.
