Is Maplestory slowly turning into a good game?
Maplestory.
The massive multiplayer online role playing game that has slowly taken the world by storm. Nexon is currently rolling in big ol' piles of cash and the consumer is absorbed into the complex and enthralling world of Maplestory. As time slowly creeps on we've noticed a number of changes that have actually made Maplestory into a somewhat playable game!
Now you want to know about me? Well I'm a Maplestory war veteran, I've been around since the very beginning. What's that? You don't believe me? Well take a look at my Basilmarket trade history, it goes all the way back to early 2006! Boom baby!
So now that you know my background I can easily say that I've experienced the grindfest that is original Maplestory. I'm well aware most MMOs out there are built around being grindy bore snores but Maplestory always struct me as a game that shrived to go even beyond that and dared to be the BIGGEST BRAINLESS GRINDFEST EVER!
Maplestory has slowly changed over the ages and become more accessible to the average man who does not want to waste his life away hitting a shift key. Although there has been a fair amount of rebellion from Veterans, who claim that Maplestory has lost it's challenge over the years! I'll agree that staring at a computer screen and hitting the shift key for 6 hour increments just for one level is indeed very challenging, but not the type of challenging that would provide an enjoyable video game experience. These people are all clearly nostalgic lunatics who have no clear idea about how to make an enjoyable video game.
Now ignoring all that bull malarkey the question still stands, is Maplestory slowly turning into a good game? As I said earlier, due to these patches that have made Maplestory a less grindy experience it has slowly turned into an actual game. The problem still stands though that when you reach a certain level it does just turn into a grindfest but is it posssible that one day we will be playing a Maplestory without any grinding? Meaning that Maplestory could actually turn into a good game!
I ask you the basilmarket community, is Maplestory evolving into a good game?
