Have any of you played it?

I can't figure out how to sign up.. I keep trying, but it says something is wrong with my ID everytime.. and I've tried all the weird little names I can think of..

Since I've tried to sign up 3 to 4 times now I was wondering is it really worth it?

The link is.. www.maplestory.com It looks cute, but I'm afraid it'll just be filled with lots of the type of people that log onto Lusternia with names like 'Lovewolf'.

You can't, it's a Korean game and requires a Korean ID number.

Why is there a global version then?

link to that one is www.mapleglobal.com

did you validate your account? look at the support website and follow the links that mention the erros you get.


And is it made by the same people who made gunbound?

Yes, you can play it Joli. The global version, that is. Zenji and I play it and we're in the US. It does have a lot of those types of 'Lovewolf' people though. There's no RP, there is l33t-speak and other languages and 'omg, u r .." types of things ... but you can just ignore it. Sadly, there's no actual 'ignore' command. It's just like an arcade game sorta, but it's cute lil' graphics and fun at times to be playing something where I don't have to worry about dealing with Tsuki's responsibilities.

I basically play on Bera, main character is a mage that just got up to level 18 .. because I messed up my thief's stats a bit. That's another thing. You can really screw up your character compared to others if you place your stats or ability points in the wrong place. If you are interested in playing, look over some of the things here: GameFaqs section

If'n you decide to play on Bera, let me know and I'll let you know who I am and can help you a little if needed I guess. Happy Mapling!

I still can't figure out what is wrong with it. I don't really get an error.. it just says I need a different ID. But there is -nothing- wrong with any of the ones I submitted. I looked at the rules for making one and I can't tell what I'm doing wrong, but it's bugging me.

Oi, I got it to work now.. I'm a retard. It's required for you to 'check' your name and won't do it on its own.. -mutter-

hehe, my Main charactor is "Wesmin" on Bera, he is a lvl 30 fire wizard, if you need some help just send me a whisper or add me to your buddy list. I'll be glad to help you collect quest items, or hook you up with some lvl 10 gear for your charactor to start out with

Edit: and ya, Tsuki said there is no "ignore" command, but you can always switch channels to get away from idiots, and if they start following you around being annoying, you can report them to admins, so, although there are idiots, you can avoid them.

Mm, yes, Wesmin's quite advanced with the wizardyness. On Bera, I've got a level ... 20 or 21 mage named "Elisce" and a just-restarted thief named "Saoni" ... either of which would do to look for. Just do a "/find Elisce" or "/find Saoni" to see if I'm around and let me know you're from here so I know you aren't just some random 12 yr old who's going to start saying "mesos, plz! plz, plz, give mesos! ne1 have pots?????" or something. Magicians are difficult to start and advance with until they hit around level 18, then things speed up and they get better. Thieves ... well, Wesmin's heard many, many, many times how much I love Dark Sight.

I've played it. Had a tough time getting into it. Its pretty much all just mindlessly killing stuff. Strangely enough mindlessly killing stuff is more entertaining to me in text

I like to have a mix of killing, and RP'ing, as well I like to have a mix of text/imagination and graphics.

Reading a book *is currentally reading Tolkien's Unfinished Tales* , playing a game like Maple Story, and playing a game like Lusternia suit all of those needs pretty well

We should all make characters and invade on of the channels to RP.

I made a character on Bera named Celinus.. She's still itty bitty at the moment. I still haven't figured it all out yet.

Oh.. does anyone know what to do if it starts kicking you off repeatedly?

I used to have that problem in Beta, but since it's been out I havn't at all, so i don't know what to tell you there.

I would look at the guides on www.hidden-street.net they are really good, and can explain how to best create a strong charactor. (my first charactor back in Beta, I completely messed up skill/stat wise)

Hmm, it also might be kicking you off if you're playing at times when a lot of other people are. I've gotten kicked off a very few times since it's been out of Beta (though it used to be much more often back then).

I notice you haven't said which job you're going for with Celinus ... and that's something you want to know right away, before you even get to level 2 (well, before you even make the character, actually), so you can place your ability/stat points (APs) appropriately. For example, if you're going to be a mage, you start working on increasing your intelligence right away, as higher int gives you a slightly greater increase of MP at each level up. I know stats for thief and mage best ... in general, thief (only exception would be str dagger thief, rather than luk dagger or stars) wants dex at (their level times 2) and everything else into luk. And, in general, mage wants luk at (their level plus 3) and everything else into int. The stats you're not going to be increasing, you want to roll either a 4 or 5 on from the start and then not touch them at all.

Hidden Street is a good site, but it might be confusing if you just try to go there and don't know where to look. Try the Guides page, and look under Characters--Beginner.

And yes, Wesmin and I can try helping with questions and items and maybe even levelling or whatnot. Don't worry if you mess up with your APs ... I knew better and still managed to mess up the first time I started my thief, so I had to go and remake her.

I'm thinking of being a bowman (er.. bowwoman) and carrying around a huge arse crossbow.. I still haven't seen either of you in game.

Delete it and play something fun?

Nuts, I think I already sold the Green Able Skirt a stump dropped Well, just be sure you're started with good rolls for your stats and that you're placing your points correctly if you're working to level up.

And I haven't been around either Lusternia or MapleStory because I was frantically working to finish my last assignment. Graduation's on Saturday. *flap*

Hrm, I use to play this with my friend. but when he stopped I lost interest because I need someone to talk to while I play or I go nuts.

I think maybe I should start a new account, I use to play a mage. But maybe a thief or a bowman?

I'm only level 12 and I feel so small..

I usually bother a close friend until he logs on.. he is itty bitty on there but he follows around while I kill those big mushrooms.

We should make a Lusternia channel and roleplay.. with graphics!

Why's nobody a fighter? I've tried making a mage and bowman, but I find the lack of things to do quite hard to get around.
