MapleStory is a free, two-dimensional, side-scrolling Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game developed by Wizet and distributed as several versions by various companies. The game takes place mainly in the "Maple World", where players must fight against monsters while completing quests. As in a typical online game, players can mold their characters to their liking by increasing their abilities and skills. Interactions between users are encouraged in a variety of ways, including chatting, trading, marriage and playing mini-games.
Though the game is free to play, players may purchase various enhancements and upgrades in the Cash Shop using real money converted into the in-game currency.
Gameplay
The controls of the game utilise the keyboard and the mouse. The keyboard is used mainly for combating skills and opening lists that are crucial to make use of during the gameplay, one can choose to keep or change the default key configuration to suit their own needs. The mouse is mainly used for triggering quests from NPCs and moving of items in their inventories.
Characters
- Main article: Classes
All players start their journey at their respective tutorial areas after creating their characters. There are many different choices when making a character. One can choose between the basic archetypes. Depending on what type of character one picks, one will start at different places with different tutorials.
World
In the tutorial stage of the game, one will learn about stats, monsters, skills, and most importantly, how to play the game. Levelling up at the start of the gameplay will be easy with the beginner quests, but as the player's level gets higher, the difficulty of the game increases and the player may experience events such as death that will cause a loss in experience that will delay one's speed to level up.
Players can chat with others, trade, hang out, and much more. There are also Party Quests where players can play in a group, or "party". At level 35, players can learn Professions to extract resources and craft items.
Elements
- Meso is the main currency of the game. Mesos are dropped by monsters and can also be obtained through quests. Players may also gain mesos by selling to shops within the game, or to other players in the game who willing to buy what they have to offer.
- Character Statistics (stats) is the build of a character, and determines how powerful or weak a character is.
- Quests are tasks that players are able to perform for non-player characters, or NPCs, in exchange for a reward. There are many quests available to players, each having certain requirements that a player must meet before being able to start the said quest.
- Party Quests are quests that only allow a group of players in a party to complete them. This is a great way to make new friends and escape from quest grinding or training. Party Quests usually offer large amounts of experience points or useful Equipment to the players.
- Monsters are the natural inhabitants of the Maple World. Players have to kill them to gain experience to level up, complete quests, collect items, or obtain mesos.
- Cash Shop is a store that allows users to buy items with cash. These items do not need to be purchased in order to play the game. However, some might want to buy the items to enhance their gaming experience.
- Auction House is introduced in the RED update. It allows players to auction off their items for mesos.
