What is Maplestory?

Maplestory is an MMORPG game, also known as a Massive Multiplaying Online Role Playing Game. The main point in an MMORPG game is to make friends, level up, and get to know other people.
In Maplestory, there are five main classes you may be, a Pirate, Bowman, Magician, Thief, or Warrior. All classes have their disadvantages and advantages. For example, Warriors, some pirates, and some thieves are melee type characters. They're specialty is getting up-close and personal with their enemies.
Other characters, such as magicians and bowmen, are ranged characters, meaning they attack from a distance, leaving little room for the monster being attacked to counter attack.

Over the years, however, Maplestory has been notable for being not only one of the most played and well-known MMORPG in history, but has also been ranked up in being fun in social ways. Many players find chatting with friends and "hanging out" more interesting than training to grow stronger.



Maplestory Addiction?

Maplestory has also been noted for having a high addiction rate. Like most "addictions", it may be harmful, not only physically, but also mentally. The player may have problems in school or in his/her real social life, and resort to cybergaming for a cure, hence the following picture:
