A popular online MMORPG based in Seoul, South Korea. The game has 50 million players worldwide, topping Ragnarok Online and Runescape combined. MapleStory is very unique it its on way. For example, the name of the game represents the fact that the maple tree supposedly disappeared from Korea, and the fact that one can show facial expressions through his/her/its character. The game can also be noted for its quality graphics (can be toggled).
The game has a (relatively) simple user interface that's easy to learn. That's what I found out the second I started playing.
When you crate your new character(s), he/she is automatically level 1. By training or doing quests, you can level up and get stronger. The max level is 200. Nobody in the game ever reached level 200.
Unlike some other MMORPGs, you don't choose your job or path in the beginning. There are five jobs: beginner, warrior, bowman, thief, and magician. You are automatically a beginner when you create your character, and can choose to become any of the other four later on. Some just stay a beginner, who are often called perman00bs.
There are three islands in the world of MapleStory--Maple Island (where you begin), Victoria Island (the island where you make the job advancement), and Ossyria Island (an island designed mainly for mid-high leveled people). On Ossyria, there is sub-continent called Ludibrium (Ludi), which is toy-themed. You can call it a continent of its own if you want.
There are three types of maps--town, field, and dungeon. Town maps often contain NPCs and shops. Field maps and dungeons usually contain monsters, the latter usually with a higher spawn rate and stronger monsters.
Training is basically killing monsters for experience (EXP). You need EXP to level up and get stronger. You can form parties (up to six in one)to help you train. Depending on how you look at it, training can be f-cking boring or very exciting.
This is not all of what MapleStory is and what you need to know about it. If you wanna know more, create an account and play.

(based on statistics, not bias)
A guy distributes a poll to ten online gamers. He wants to know which is the best of the three : MapleStory, Runescape, or Ragnarok Online.
Six say MapleStory.
Three say Ragnarok.
One says Runescape.

A side-scroller MMORPG currently still in beta that consists of little custom chibi characters you can equip armor and weapons on. Is often criticized for having snails as the basic monsters when those who criticize haven't even gotten far enough into the game to kill higher level monsters. Is also criticized for being very similar to Ragnarok Online, for the job advancement concept, menu design, etc. Contains a swear filter much more sensitive than RO's, though.

MapleStory is an mmorpg that is extremely fun, yet truly addictive. (I myself couldn't stay away for 4 whole years.)
You create a cartoon chibi character and basically go around pwning small animals.
You start off at level 1. At level 8, you can become a magician. At level 10, you can become a warrior,theif,pirate,or archer. The newly-released Cygnus Knight class is a waste of time that crashes servers all the time.
The highest level is 200. Select few, the best of the best, have made it to 200. Most of them are Nx cash whores, which are people who spend REAL money on godly items to make their characters stronger and more rich.
I suggest playing it a few times, but be careful, or you won't be able to stop.

Mardia,Kradia,Yellonde,and,Dementhos, in these worlds you have different channels where you can go into, some with more people than others.Each world has from 14 to 19 channels.There are many versions of maplestory:JMS,EMS,GMS,MSEA,and KMS.In some versions though, they have different worlds with different names,such as in MSEA,they have a world called Delpinus.
You may play and train on monsters until lvl 10 to become either a:Thief,Magician,Pirate,Bowman,Warrior,and or Beginner.Other classes such as Aran or Cyngus Knights, Have different things.Such as that Cyngus Knights have a max lvl of only 120.These are the first job classes.(not
including Aran and Cyngus Knights)There are 3 more jobs after the first job.Except in EMS where there are only two right now.Once at lvl 30 you get to 2nd job,Lvl 70 for third job, and 120 for fourth job.Maplestory was made by Wizet and published by Nexon on April 29,2003 in South Korea.
Currently Maplestory has an estimated of over one billion players.Over two billion characters, and around one point five billion accounts.So far there is only one lvl 200 beginner right now in JMS.Someday maybe YOU will have a lvl 200 beginner.
