Hiya! Call me Nethial. I'm the guy who's been toying around a bit on Dungeon Fighter Online, and I thought I'd take a peek at the other games that Nexon offered.
MapleStory caught my interest, but I'm perplexed on what the game is like.
That being said, I know next to nothing about it, even after having browsed these forums and read almost every single post.
So... um, first thing's first. I'd like to know exactly how long this game's been in service (from what I understand after reading, it's been a pretty long while).
One thing that I don't think I've decided on yet, is which class to be first. I know it's taboo to make a "Which class should I be?" thread without posting preferences, so I'll do that.
In DFO, I'm a Blademaster, which utilizes speed and high combos over raw, brute strength (if any of you play DFO, you'll know what I mean). I'm someone who would like to keep an enemy on its toes, constantly dancing from place to place while avoiding any major hits from an enemy. In my book, Speed > Power.
Okay, next thing I want to address: Someone (I won't say who, because I'm not going to offend that person) told me that this site was based on posting facts and overall deciphering of the game's mechanisms. Does this mean that you guys don't typically welcome newbies, or do you guys have trust issues? What's the deal here?
I've only played one MMO prior to this, and that was WoW. I didn't like the whole "mindless army of raiding drones" deal, so I left. Now, I'm not going to bash this game if I find the majority of the community is similar, but at least tell me there's some decent people in this game, unlike the many idiots in WoW. I don't care if it's just one group I'm associated with, I just wanna know that I have a place to call home and not be judged on whether or not I've hit the level cap by said group.
Which brings me to my next concern: Server choice. I'd prefer a server that isn't too crowded, but has friendly enough people to merit being on. Any suggestions?
Finally, why does the head admin of Southperry.net have such an interest in Chinchillas? I'm just curious, that's all.
Alright, I'm going to close my questions and concerns for now. If there's any more concerns I have, I'll be sure to post them here (that is, if you guys don't mind me doing so).
Later guys!
