What is Maplestory?

MapleStory is a free-to-play, 2D side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Wizet. First released in South Korea in 2003, MapleStory later launched in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions over the next several years.

In MapleStory, players travel the virtual world of Maple World, defeating monsters and completing quests as they develop their characters. Unlike many MMORPGs, MapleStory uses a side-scrolling perspective inspired by classic 2D platformers. Players can play as one of several available classes, including warriors, magicians, bowmen, thieves, and pirates, each with unique skills.

As players gain experience and level up, they can allocate ability points to strengthen their characters. Much of MapleStory's gameplay revolves around improving equipment and obtaining new abilities and skills to take on the game's myriad monster-filled dungeons and challenging boss raids, either alone or in parties with other players.

First released in an age before microtransactions, MapleStory was one of the pioneers of free-to-play titles, supported by non-game altering purchases like character customization options, inventory expansions, and more. Now over 15 years old, while showing its age in certain respects, MapleStory maintains an active player base, especially in Asia.
