I liked how virtually every single review gave the community an extremely low rating.

To cite an example of the snail-like rate of leveling, between levels 14 and 20, Slimes are one of the best monsters to kill for "powerlevelling". The catch? Each slime monster gives around 10 exp, whereas you need as much as 13000 exp to gain one level ( I took around 5 hours to get one level from level 18 to 19 ). To finish this unholy combination, monsters are found in limited supply and time must be spent to wait for these monsters to respawn. This concept is found in many MMORPGs, but the problem in Maple Story is that some classes are just too strong against crowds - the Mage class, in particular. Also, because it's a 2D game, it is very easy to have some random Mage coming in and casting a spell that zaps all enemies on screen, killing the monster whose HP you've worked so hard to a low level. Comment 1: go HPQ, its 1600 exp per PQ Comment 2: lol slime tree Comment 3: its called a kser

The ones giving a 4/10 or less are finding it difficult because they though maxing magic armour saves Mesos by giving you free armout

Lastly, the leveling can go by EXTREMELY slow when you're a higher level. I'm talking less than 10% an hour slow. Despite the problems this game is pretty fun. Until you meet the community. Story N/A Ironic a game called Maple Story has no story. ---- It's supposed to be your story.

There is a story. Theres no story behind your existence, and barely any quests autually affect the enviroment except a select few (Time temple, ability to buy all cures. Etc.) but really there ARE reasons behind why your mindlessly killing these monsters, I just wish there were more enviroment affecting quests. You really feel accomplished when you finish a quest after 3 hours and are rewarded with the ability to do something other people can't. Not so much when you quest for 3 hours, get a scroll and then nothing.
