While I’ve admittedly not been following MapleStory 2 very closely, I’ve heard that Nexon America has tweaked the English version of the game, cutting back on the pay-to-win parts of the original. While they, of course, intend for players to spend money, it mostly goes on convenience items (like quicker fast-travel) and cosmetic items for your bobble-headed avatar. That said, it is possible to sell gear to players for cash-shop currency. A curious way to make a virtual buck or two if you snag a rare item you can’t use, and hopefully not too unbalancing due to being co-op.

I never quite got along with the original game – it was just a bit too messy for me – but it seems that people are broadly pleased with the sequel so far. It’s a tough act to follow, living up to the nostalgic expectations of a generation of players (many of the teens at the time), but reviews seem mostly positive. From the little bit I’ve seen streamed (I’m downloading the game to give it a poke this evening) larger co-op battles are chaotic and hard to follow, but solo or small group play feels a lot more readable, and the level design looks frequently cute and clever.

MapleStory 2 is free-to-play and you can find it on its official page here or on Steam. The pre-order Explorer’s Packs (which got players in early) are no longer available to buy.

Anyone who plays MapleStory—an online multiplayer game created by South Korean developer Wizet—soon learns to loathe what gamers call "looting." As in most fantasy massively multiplayer online games, or MMOs, players spend much of their time trotting about a large virtual realm in battle with vicious monsters. These monsters, once vanquished, leave behind in-game currency and all sorts of valuable or crucial items—which the victorious player is then obliged to wander over and click a button to collect, or "loot." Thousands of monsters populate the game's Maple World, each one carrying something for players to capture. Countless hours may be frittered away in this repetitive pursuit. Looting, for the dogged MapleStory player, becomes a maddening chore.

But MapleStory also features what it calls a Cash Shop. There, eager players may exchange real-world money for a number of in-game items—including, indispensable, a digital pet that offers companionship while also taking care of the looting, usually available for about $5 every 90 days. "The pet follows you around while you play, and items near the pet magically jump off the ground and into your inventory," explains Uzo Olisemeka, a longtime fan of MapleStory who insists that paying not to have to loot an item hundreds of times every hour is "a steal." MapleStory is officially free to play, and nobody is required to spend money in the Cash Shop. At least in theory. "The game is practically impossible to enjoy at higher levels without a pet looting for you," Olisemeka points out. "But nobody thinks of it as a subscription fee, and everyone gladly pays for their pet."

But what exactly does a player of MapleStory own when they spend money on their digital pet? The question is becoming increasingly relevant at a time when more and more of our property exists in the virtual sphere: digitally downloaded movies, television programs, Kindle books, MP3s. We understand perfectly well that when we exchange money for physical goods—for a TV or a refrigerator or a pair of jeans—that a tangible transaction has been conducted. Namely, we understand that having given money to another party and having received goods in return, the goods in question now belong to us in a concrete and legally protected way.

Nexon, the maker of the unbearably adorable side-scrolling MMO MapleStory, has released an infographic claiming that more than 17,800 years have been cumulatively spent by players in the game since launch.

MapleStory is a light free-to-play MMO that takes players on a journey through Maple World, ultimately facing antagonist the Black Mage. Players level-up characters through typical RPG methods such as defeating monsters and working jobs, and can interact with other players via parties and guilds, and by playing minigames. The game was developed in South Korea by Wizet, which was acquired by its publisher Nexon thanks to the game's success.

Interestingly, there are currently more divorced player characters in the game (84,075) than married (79,944), out of a total of 12,985,342 players to date.

To be clear, these numbers represent the original MapleStory -- not MapleStory 2, the sequel released in July 2015.

In fact, the original title is still going strong, with a big update coming on December 15, including new abilities, elite equipment sets, high-level content, improved quest rewards, a new job advancement, and more.

Check it out for yourself, available now on Windows PC.

MapleStory, the long-running MMORPG that gives players the chance to befriend others while building adorable little anime-style avatars, has teamed up with the creative force of Evangelion to bring an all-new event to the game that old-school players will really enjoy. The collaboration, announced today, brings Evangelion's 3 main characters -- Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley-Soryu, and Rei Ayanami -- into the world through a crossover plotline that perfectly fits early 00's anime fan fiction, and we mean that in the kindest way possible.

Basically: an inter-dimensional rift has opened and dropped the three teenage pilots into the vast world of MapleStory. It's up to the game's players to meet and assist the trio in order to get them used to their new surroundings (and, eventually, one would guess, back to the right universe). In order to do that, players will have to complete different challenges, and as a reward, new perks and accessories have been added to the game for players to add to their collections.

Here's what the event offers, according to MapleStory's developers at Nexon:

The Evangelion pilots are lost in their new surroundings in Maple World, so players are tasked with completing daily quests to help them navigate and become more familiar. Maplers can interact with Shinji, Rei and Asuka to earn EVA Coins to spend on limited-time items and must fend off waves of invasions from Angel enemies to save Maple World.

Other key features of the MapleStory X Evangelion event include:

● Evangelion Coin Shop – After completing Evangelion-themed events and quests, players will earn EVA Coins to trade in for limited-time items including chairs, medals and even permanent equips;

● Evangelion Style Boxes – For a limited time, players can purchase special surprise boxes with accessories and outfits to dress up their MapleStory character in Evangelion style;

● Exclusive Items – Players can also purchase special random boxes and open them up to find Evangelion-themed items including androids, as well as purchase hair coupons designed to look just like characters from Evangelion.

MapleStory has been active for nearly two decades, launching in 2003 and out-living almost all of that era's MMORPGs. For players who started way back when this might be the perfect mix of nostalgia needed to get back into the game.

MapleStory is available now for PC and iOS.

MapleStory shot to fame when it was released back in the early 2000s, and despite the game being out for quite some time, it still features a huge fan base. The 2D side-scrolling MMO transports players to the Maple World with the aim of defeating monsters and developing their character's skills and abilities. Sounds great, right? Mac gamers wouldn’t know, as the game has never officially supported macOS/Mac OS X.

Don’t get disheartened though, as we’ve found a way for gamers to play MapleStory on Mac – and here’s how.

Nvidia GeForce Now for Mac

The best (and easiest) way to play MapleStory on your Mac is via Nvidia’s new cloud-based streaming service, GeForce NOW for Mac. The service, currently available in beta form in the UK, Europe, and the US, allows Mac gamers a great and easy way to play any game from Steam or Battle.net regardless of whether it offers macOS/Mac OS X support, or how powerful your Mac is. You can run the latest graphically-demanding PC games on a basic Mac Mini if you really want to.

How is this witchcraft managed? It’s all down to Nvidia server sites scattered across Europe and the US which handle all the processing required by the games. When you select a game you’d like to play on your Mac, Nvidia’s impressively powerful servers (which we’re told provides the equivalent to GTX 1080 performance) run the game remotely before sending it to your Mac via the internet.

The best part? Every game that’s available to play on GeForce Now for Mac has been optimized for streaming, meaning you’ll be getting the best quality possible without having to delve in and tweak the graphics settings yourself.

Oh, and Nvidia keeps a cached version of every game available on Steam and Battle.net on their servers, meaning there’s no waiting around while the game downloads. You should be playing the game within around 30 seconds of hitting the play button!

Of course, the performance will somewhat depend on your internet speeds and location of the servers, as someone with high-speed internet that lives 500 miles from a server site will get better response times than someone with slow internet in more remote areas.

With that being said, we’ve generally been impressed with the response times provided by GeForce Now for Mac when connected to Wi-Fi and Ethernet, although admittedly we have access to 200mb+ internet speeds not available in many parts of the UK.

The service is completely free to use while it’s in beta too, allowing prospective Mac gamers to dive in right now and make the most of the service. Nvidia has reassured Macworld UK that the service will stay free until at least early 2018, if not longer. The only catch? High levels of interest in the service mean those that want to test it out must first join a waiting list.

Once you’ve got access, it’s as simple as signing into your Steam account, selecting MapleStory and hitting that play button! You’ll be playing in no time.

Boot Camp

But what if you don’t have access to a high-speed internet connection to use Nvidia’s streaming service? Don’t fret as there is another way to play MapleStory on your Mac, but it will come at a cost of performance and storage space. Full disclaimer: we haven’t tested MapleStory specifically with this method, continue will be at your own risk.

If you’re willing to give it a go, another way to play MapleStory on Mac is to split your Mac hard drive and run Windows 10 on a separate partition using Apple’s Boot Camp software. This method requires you to (semi-permanently) partition your hard drive and sacrifice a big chunk of Mac storage space, so consider your options before doing so.

We suggest providing your Boot Camp partition with as much storage as possible, as the game and operating system will take a considerable amount of space - MapleStory is 14GB while Windows 10 requires around 20GB. Admittedly you can change the size of your partition once you’ve installed Windows 10, but it can create issues – read more about how to partition your Mac’s HDD here.

If you want to go down the Boot Camp route, take a look at our instructions on how to run Windows 10 on Mac using Boot Camp. Once it’s installed, simply install Steam and MapleStory and game on! As said above, performance may be sub-optimal depending on the specification of your Mac, so you may need to tweak settings for a decent gameplay experience.

MapleStory, that wacky MMORPG that just refuses to die is about to embark on its next journey. That’s right, after numerous betas (I played in one, I’m not ashamed to say that), MapleStory 2 is almost upon us. Scheduled for an Oct. 10, 2018, release date, the game will be available for all PC gamers to check out. 

When the game officially launches, a few things will be added that weren’t in the beta. A new location, Karkar Island, that’s filled with new creatures and dungeons. There’s even a new class called the Runeblade. Finally, the level cap will be raised to 60. 


In addition to the release date, Nexon sends word that the pre-registration for the MapleStory 2 is also now available. Head on over to the official website, here, to sign up, download the launcher for the game, and reserve your name. I mean, you don’t want anyone else taking your super unique name, do you? Besides, it’s completely free. Those that do pre-register will also earn a couple of in-game prizes, which haven’t been announced as of yet. 

So, why would you want to check out MapleStory 2? Everything that made the first game so enjoyable has been brought over and the gameplay mechanics have been tweaked. Visually, the game has received a huge advancement; it’s all 3D. While the first game was stuck as a 2D sidescrolling game, this time you’re in a vast 3D world. Also, while MapleStory was a grind fest, this time the quests you do will provide more experience and remove some of that tedious grinding. 

While my time with the beta was brief, the game definitely feels like a modern MMO. These changes, bring the cutesy title into the leagues of games such as Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft. It’s still free to play as well, so there’s a lot going on and basically, no cost for you to check it out. Sounds like a win/win to me.

MapleStory 2 drops on Oct. 10, 2018, or Oct. 1, 2018, if you’ve picked up a founder’s pack. Maybe you’ll see me around the world of MapleStory 2.
