Mages are overrated and weak. Enjoy the grind up to whatever level you stop at. Because trust me, it takes a fucking longass time to level once you get to higher levels.

This game is terrible. It's a complete waste of time and the most grindy game in the entire world. Mages are really boring. Lvl 40 is nothing, but around 70 you have to train for an hour for 10-15% of exp, and around lvl 80 it becomes around 5%. I know this lvl 130+ Ice Mage on Broa, she can barely level anymore. In the end it just is a bad game, at least the public one. The 1000x exp/meso private servers are all right. Fun hunting without the painful grinding.

Mages are the race that is typically easy to level with early on, but in the end sucks. The scrolls and such have little effect on them as well. Around level 50 or so they can kill and move far slower than an assassin of the same level, whose DPS is higher and he also has haste.

A spearman / Dragon Knight is also really good later on as soon as you get a nicely scrolled(+10) outfit and a well-scrolled spear. The options for maximizing are also a lot better for other races. Mages are okay, but they level the slowest and have to rely on their party a lot most of the time. Mage is the easiest and the weakest race, pretty much. Thief is probably the most cost-efficient race by far.

So? People like this kind of game. There are way more people that play maplestory than starcraft so you can say it is a shitty game when over 2 million people play it.Just cause you have no patience and desire to play it doesnt mean u ahve to crictize it. Its a good game, its got great people, great quests, and just a great overall feeling to it. I played it for a while, got to high levels etc. But now i quit because i got busy and needed more time to play starcraft ^_^


P.s. i also play on broa

It's basically a chatroom where you can waste your time. And yes, a game completely based on mindless grinding is bad. IRC has many users as well and it's not even a game. A good chatroom != a good game.

EDIT: No patience? Well, I got some characters to the third job and plenty more quite close.

Stracraft is pretty much a chatroom too. And its not all about mindless grinding. Its about finishing quests, killing bosses, merchanting, getting good weapons and gears. Its not just about grinding. If you want to get a high level, sure thats what you gotta do. But its not all about fucking grinding.

Yes it is. It's all about grinding. The quests are a complete pain, luckily you don't have to do most of them. And yeah you pretty much got to get to a high level, but in the end it's just a waste of time. After you quit you just wasted a lot of your time. Also, you barely even type while playing Starcraft. What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? There's barely any time to type anything in the middle of a game and when you do type to communicate with a teammate in a 2v2 game you have to type with such haste that proper spelling almost never occurs.

Agreed, its pretty much exactly what you said. I don't know whats the phenomenon with Maplestory that draws so many people into such a shitty "game" (I don't even really consider it a game). Personally I think its due to majority of teenagers that likes to chit chat with fake "drama" (you know the kind that is about/and result in nothing) along with slow RPG like character progression. Even though Maplestory is such a terrible game I have to say props to Nexon knowing what the majority of teenagers want and taking advantage of the situation.

How is starcraft a chat room? Maybe for you it might be, but when I log onto iccup to play starcraft, thats exactly what I do. I don't sit there and chat with anyone. I just game. Im not the only one either. Almost every single korean on the server is just mass gaming, with no chat in between.

Some of my friends got addicted to this game for some odd reason. I've tried it once, and it seemed extremely bland. I couldn't stand playing it after a few minutes and just uninstalled.
After a few months, my friends stopped playing and started saying, "lol, maplestory is gay"

Just stop before you waste too much time in it.
And if you want a decent MMO, get Guild Wars. It's the only MMO I'll ever recommend, because you can play casually and still get a great experience from it.
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.
