Title: So, I saw a Maple Story ad.
Post by: Commander Awesome on October 13, 2007, 07:55:32 PM
1. Why the hell now, Nexon?
2. Why the intercourse  were the focus of the ads placed on slapping eachother with fish, and a Pig in a Gentleman's hat?

wtf.

i understand banner ads, as crappy as theirs are,

but iirc, there weren't even ads for WoW. :|

not to mention that Nexon basically tricks people into in-game quests so they can scam money out of you in that game.

then you have to pay to get divorced when you realize that the person on the other end lives miles and miles away from you. :|

and then there's that hair quest scam, that I'm sure everyone knows about.


the fact that they advertise it as free is horrible.

Heh, just saw them all on Youtube.
I'm glad I quit at level 12. :D

Post by: Jono2 on October 13, 2007, 08:43:06 PM
the game is fun while it lasts... I got to level 60 before it stopped being fun.

ground my way to level 62 and was like "screw this crap" and quit.

found a few Nsider friends there though...

BoriBori to name one. :D

there was a whole slew of them that I found, but I forget all of their names.  the only reason I remember her is because I have her MSN. o_O

It had it's start in Korea, so if you ever play it, be prepared to spend fifty bazillion hours trying to level up.

Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Zeldafan has the right idea. It takes so long to level up, and if you die once, it'll take hours to make up that EXP.

like World of Warcraft except that:

you CAN play for free
it's not updated as often
updates are not nearly as good
you don't pay 11 bucks a month
it's 2D
it makes much less sense
no opposing sides
no PVP
in comparison, No fun.

MapleStory sucks something fierce. Leveling takes literally forever, most everyone is out to mess up your training, too many idiots, and when I played, everyone kept whining about something.

Hell, Runescape is better about training.
No one KSs, because you can't.

It's almost nothing like WoW. Oh, and the South Park episode barely shows what WoW has. At all.

Runescape fails hard. Why would you pay like 5 bucks for nothing? Sure, 5 dollars is nothing, but what am I paying it for? Building a house? Getting special skills and aroumer? Sounds cool, but no way it's worth it.

Runescape has tons of scammers, tons of ways to cheat, and no cool things to wear for mages and rangers. Sure you have those gold trimmed robes, and those dragon hides for rangers, but thats it!? Sure there are others, but there not cool at all.

Runescape fails.

End of story. There are about 20 other reasons, but I am to lazy to name them.

Maplestory is free. There are tons of aroumer and everything for free players. If you want to pay for nexon cash, you can only get some decent stuff such as swords, hair, clothing, and glasses, and pets.

All that stuff is not needed. There are cool stuff for free players also.

They both fail really.

they do both fail.

but in MS, they have quests which give you a chance at NX stuff, but 90% of the time they give you something horrible, which you end up needing NX to repair.

thats what the scam is.

Hahah. In RuneScape, to actually REMOTELY have fun, you need to pay monthly. Players on F2P get no poop whatsoever.

I had fun for a long time on RS w/o ever becoming a member.

I played MS during the transition from F2P to Optional P2P.
