ATTENTION EUROPEAN PLAYERS: Avoid playing on European servers at all costs, it's trash. Just play on the NA one, the european server lags like crazy. Especially if you've got strong internet, in that case you won't feel any lag in NA, while there'll always be lag on the european server, as it's the server's problem. I don't want to beg for "likes", but please upvote this review so people can be aware of this. Thank you in advance :) Edit: I recently came back to MapleStory and remembered this review, so I should update to let you know that the EU server no longer lags and it's absolutely fine to play in. HOWEVER, be aware that Maple Story has always been many times more popular in the USA than in Europe, so our server is nowhere near a populated as the american one

Coming back to the game, its still as laggy as ever. They need to fix the trash servers.
It's a great game But good luck getting past the login screen
I have played this game back in 2006 and I had a blast, everything was new to me, the settings, the people running around and killing snails on maple island then slimes and mushrooms in henesys hunting ground. Took many years of breaks in between, back and forth, but when they revamped the game and released big bang is when they started to lose the vast majority of players (slowly). I know that change is needed for games to progress, but so many changes killed the game. Pros: - if you're a fan of mario style games or platformers and like to see big numbers when you hit monster, then try out this game - it's not a grindy game anymore, *sadly* (at least not from lvl 1-200) - amazing map BGM's - a lot of friendly people still and so on Cons: - p2w - bugs, bugs and yes, more bugs! "yay!" - gets a bit grindy past 200 and gets a lot grindy past 200 if you didn't pay a lot of real money into it - the company NEXON America, doesn't care about their customers/players I could go on forever wi...
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU DO NOT LIKE DOING REPTITIVE THINGS, LAG, UNSTABLE SERVERS, CRASHING OF THE GAME 30% OF THE TIME, MISJUDGEMENT OF GAME MASTERS. The reason I have only 0.1 hours is because I use the game launcher. The game has lost so much ever since I came back to it. I remember back in the days when party questing was live, I was always looking forward to party questing with other people but now they took the fun out of it. In party quest areas, you may find like 1 or 2 peeps, that is not enough to get you into one, and they may be 80% be afk They may try to attract you to the game by putting up events but it really is not worth it. Try another game. Plus Game Masters look investigater and suspend/ban legit players who report real hackers and let the hackers roam while they put the legit players on the ground for a month. It is just absurd, they are taking the very incentive that makes us report hackers, to get them banned. The community is pretty much dead as well. If y...
This game sucks but im too addicted to stop
Game is great. Reboot is really awesome if you want to progress with your friends, or just by yourself without spending ANY money. Have been playing this game for 2006, and have really fallen in love again the last 2 months. I would suggest anyone to at least try it if they enjoy an mmo especially one with unique sidescrolling graphic and a beautiful soundtrack.
It's a great game and very addicting.
***Most positive reviews mention "childhood" or something along the lines of that subject. What if Animal Crossing was an MMO, a 2D platformer, had combat, had nothing to do with animals living in a humble town, and was also terrible? Missions: go and kill those things to give me these things, then go to that guy to kill other things for some other things to turn in, then do the same thing with everyone else. In short, I. don't. like. it.
I will say this, in my opinion, this is one of the best free-to-play MMORPG's you'll ever find it is so in depth and specific and so many different quests, monster, bosses, and events you will never be bored. But I will say this this a game where you need to work for your levels, in this case characters go up to lv 250, this may seem like a lot but actually u don't really need to go past 120, and in general if you find the right areas it wont be hard. This is a great game to play with friends in fact its almost recommended, but in my case since none of my friends play this game I just put a Youtube Let's Play on the side and its great. Background Information: Been playing this game for 3 years, am 16 now was 13 when I started and still love it. Defiinitely recommend it, so many classes to choose from, You'll definitely enjoy it its a great experience!
