The one problem is the lack of PvP. For some, that is a problem, but there are Party Quests that pit one party against another. Though you won't be directly fighting the other party, you will each be trying to out score your opponents.

Class Choices

There are twelve classes at the end game. The classes are all somewhat different. They are grouped into five main classes: Mage, Warrior, Archer, Pirate, Thief. Each class is needed at the end game as well.

Customer Service

MapleStory has lot of glitches. Many of these glitches have very annoying effects. For example, if you get hit by certain monsters, you get perma banned. Though you can report a ticket, you will only get a computer response.

Graphics

The graphics are very clean cut, and there is a nice background. It has better graphics than most other 2D side scrollers. The spell effects look cool, and so do the other class skills. The turn off to some is that the graphics are too kid oriented.

The character models are weird as well. Their heads account for half their body height, and they have twig arms.

Grind

maple story mesos has considerably less grind than other Korean MMOs. Party Quests allow for constant exp and money when one gets bored of grinding.

Performance/Lag:

In most areas, there is no lag whatsoever. However, in more crowded servers and more popular channels, the city areas and the free markets tend to lag a lot. Also, boss areas and event areas often disconnect users.

Sound

maple story mesos has "kiddie" sound to match its "kiddie" graphics. The soundtrack is average, and it loops. The background music is quite pleasant though. The spell and skill effects are unusual at times. For example a crossbow shot sounds like someone plunging a toilet.

Tutorial

The tutorial is very good. maple story mesos's tutorial is updated frequently, and gives the user a lot of information. There is even a class quiz to see which class suits you the best. The one complaint that users usually give is that one can't skip the tutorial anymore.Another good thing about the tutorial is that it teaches you how to build your stats in a beneficial way for a starter. Though one does not need to follow MapleStory's advice, it is pretty good. If one messes up their stats in the tutorial, they need not worry. All characters get their stats reset upon their first job advancement.
