MapleStory

The MapleStory phenomenon is all set to gather further momentum as one of the most popular MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), has launched a detailed update that brings new levels of depth and gameplay to the title. For those not familiar, a quick recap is essential. MapleStory is an online adventure game that centres around the Maple World, allowing players to combat monsters and develop their characters‘ skills and abilities in a platform–inspired persistent world that is especially friendly to younger gamers. Players interact online through chatting, trading, and playing mini–games. Groups of players can also ally together in parties or guilds to socialise, hunt monsters, and adventure through the colourful cartoon–like world. "

"MapleStory isn't for everyone, but there is a market for it. If you are new to MMORPGs, MapleStory does a good job of easing you in to see if the more time committed ones such as World of Warcraft are right for you without investing the money into the software or hardware you might need to upgrade your system."
