Ghostly Thieves!



I was browsing neo and saw an ad for Ghost Online. Something about the ad was bugging me though. I swore the eye type was Male #6 from maple story. I have it on two of my characters. A quick google search made me laugh.



How is that not ripping off maple in some way?
  • Background screams "Maple Story!"
  • Eyes.
  • "Assassin Bandit Power"? I swear I heard of assassins and bandits being classes somewhere else...
  • The first skill in the bottom left corner. I bet you it's called Haste.

re: Ghostly Thieves!

Lol ._.

Well, obviously Ghost Online is a failing knock-off of Maple Story, but this is really funny. I laughed at the Assaulter-looking thing.

No, actually, best part was the Meba look-alike, and the fact that they completely hijacked Assassins from Maple Story.

re: Ghostly Thieves!

Eww.... NO NO NO!!!!

But seriously NO. Looks like a game that belongs on the Game Boy Advance.

re: Ghostly Thieves!



It does kinda. The graphics aren't great at all. A bit past the GBA though, DS would do it.

I just saw the ad again. It always shows up on my neohome, makes me chuckle.

re: Ghostly Thieves!

The skill on N looks so much like Savage blow.
But no skills on Ghost online can be as reall as Savage blow.

I would laugh a bit more if it overtook maple in popularity and nexon sued.

Hey MCS, if you want I'll fix up your sig with a border and nice text, getting bored and I need to play with photoshop a bit more than I currently do =x

edit: It showed up again, here's the ad:

re: Ghostly Thieves!

Just remember that there are A LOT of games similar to Maplestory. Maplestory isn't the first of it's style, and it definitely isn't the last. I'm not too surprised that there's a rip off

re: Ghostly Thieves!



I'm just surprised at the amount of stolen content. When you make a game you at least make it different than whatever you're basing it off right? Or have I completely lost touch with reality again? (It runs away from time to time, I have to go chase it down)

actually, according to Wizet Korea, MS was the first 2D sidescrolling MMORPG -- but there are lots of games like it now, just because its the same style doesn't neccesarily mean its a copy or knockoff... there are only so many things you can do with a 2d game
and windslayer is even more of a lookalike than ghost online imo xd

So no MMOs besides ones from nexon are allowed to sell in game items for rl money? :3
Also regarding the theme of the game tanc I think it's rather excusable for assassins(ninjas) to use throwing stars(which are commonly associated with ninjas.)
If you actually tried out the assassins in there you'd see the mechanics are much different. YOU try to jump shot in GO.

GO isn't actually a bad game the problem is all the hackers.. >_>
And they don't do SHIET about it. Also the company is worse than nexon.
The first day I started playing I got an error that kept crashing my client. They psoted it on their website. alright after 3 WEEKS they get that one error solved.
So I'm going around CRASH AGAIN. >_>
Another error.
Gets posted on website. Another 3 weeks. >_>

Alright so finalyl they don't have error problems.
Now we have mr. people with spam names and using proxys BOTTING EVERY MAP WITH INVINCIBILITY.

Alright well the PvP aspect should redeem it a bit right? right!?
WRONG
Here comes hackers that can hurt you like in PvP except that it counts as you losing exp since the duel doesn't initiate.
And they can do it ANYWHERE. Not just cities. And they have god mode so all attacks pass right through them.

So I quit.
I came back about a month later to see how it turned out..
And the hacker problem wasn't solved. >_>
Though I noticed just about everyone quit in that time. I wonder why.

And that's my experience with the greatest shiethole of online gaming.

re: Ghostly Thieves!

You got us! We're just that bias. Though, I'm still surprised at how much money they bring in for selling virtual items just to boost your E-coolness.

Eyes are something you'll find in many 2d games. Assassins and Bandits aren't unique to MapleStory. They all steal from this game called Real life (Yes, I have it, great graphics too). Haste.. ever heard of Final Fantasy?

re: Ghostly Thieves!



The thing is not that there are similarities, but there's a lot of them. More than there should be if it was entirely a coincidence in my opinion.
