MapleStory: Free 2d MMORPG

The objective of this game is to travel around the "Maple World." Defeating monsters and making friends along the way. In MapleStory, you and your friends are able to band together and take on tough bosses (such as Zakum, Horned Tail, and it's newest addition, a boss that has still never been defeated, Pink Bean.) MapleStory is a great way to pass time, and talk to different people everyday!

Users can form Guilds, to help and aid each other. This heavily promotes teamwork and also helps them advance. They may also combine Guilds together and form an "Alliance." They may chat amongst the other guild members in said Alliance.

Players can participate in events held by the "Game Masters" (GMs) when they are held. The events can be from Jump Quests (where players must use timed jumps to get over obstetrical), to races.

The Cash Shop is a section of the game where players can use real money to earn points to spend in-game. Each dollar is worth one thousand (1000) points (or Nexon Cash.) They can then buy new clothes and accessories, Skill Point resets, 2x EXP cards and a ticket to MapleStory's own lottery, Gachapon. There generally two ways to earn Nexon Cash. One, is by using your PayPal account to transfer your amount to Nexon. The second is by purchasing prepaid cards at certain stores, and charging them to your account. So far, the cards will give you either 10,000 and 25,000 Nexon cash depending on what card you buy.

As MapleStory is a very social game, Party Questing (PQs) are highly used by the community. It's a quest which players must band together and from a "party" and take on various tasks. This also promotes teamwork.

Of course, if you feel like playing alone, MapleStory has that too. There are a load of maps you can train from alone and many different monsters to choose from.

If you're into Anime-styled characters, MapleStory's cartoonish graphics and style are here to save you!

Overall, MapleStory is a fun-filled FREE game, and as a sidedish, an optional Cashshop.
