I used to play (started right after Beta).. Wasted my life and money on that game sadly. I have/had a lvl 132 (ish?) Dark Knight that pwned but the game got way to unbalanced. I played in Windia and it made me sick to see the extremes players would go to just to get ahead in that game. They would: Crash the servers to get better FM spots, cause rollbacks to duplicate items, abuse glitches, KS like no other, pick on new newbs (not noobs, but actual newbies), hack accounts, D/C people just to steal their map, and crazy stuff like that. The game became a DPS contest. I lost many friends on that game due to jealousy. The game was fun while it lasted but isn't worth the time anymore IMO. MapleStory is a fun game, but if you don't want to spend actual money to buy NX Cash, it won't be fun for to long. You'll be surpassed by people who have better equips than you and do 10x(or even more) the amount of damage you do.
