I played the first game more than a decade ago. I played lots of FTP MMOs, so my memory is pretty fuzzy about MapleStory 1. I played Guild Wars back then, was never interested in World of Warcraft, and I could only play paying MMOs if they had card time (game card 1-2 months) that I could buy at EBGames stores.
Anyway, I’ve checked out MapleStory 2 out of curiosity, which I’m grateful for. The graphic and art style are well done, and it’s so cute, colorful and adorable, that it gives me the impressions that I would die of an overdose of sweetness and cuteness. But I want more of it, it just give the taste to play it.
Is there anyone else playing it? It’s Free-to-Play for those wondering. I had too many issues with their Nexon Launcher, which was preventing me to play the game, after one of their updates. So I was very happy to find out they have it on Steam too, so I re-downloaded the game on Steam and now I can play again the game.

I forgot to mention that I play on the North American East server.

Am I the only one interested in playing? Personally I don’t craft anymore, but the crafting side of the game would make any crafter head turn for it and go gaga crazy. Must craft! Must craft! Must craft! I don’t craft anymore so I don’t feel the urge to do it, but apparently housing is one of the craft in the game, and I’ve always loved housing so I will probably do that crafting in the game.
