The reward for hitting level 200 is a pat on the back and a small sense of personal achievement. Sorry, no choir of angels, no big celebration. I don't want to be cynical here, but the entire point of the ranking is just to be a form of self-validation for people who are willing to sit on their ass and hit three buttons for 3000 hours. There is no real or permanent benefit that comes out of it. If you're not having fun on MapleStory and you're treating it as a form of labor, you need to put the game down and seek help.
Nethack would like to have a word with you. Sure, you might take years beating the game even 100% spoilered. Sure, you might lose at the end-game a number of times before you succeed. Yes, you will cry. Yes, you will rage and scream. Also yes, the choir of angels is invisible and all you get is the text description. But you know what? It's totally worth it and no one can take that achievement away from you plus you can halt it any time you want and it's free!
Maple Story, on the other hand...Show me how many achievements are left that don't need cash.
