Joy Factor:

It's a story about maple. Or...not really, but there are thousands, possibly millions of players who spend hundreds of hours on this game and also the other popular game from NXGames, Audition around the globe. The gameplay rocks, but the graphics isn't good or bad. It is a classic game nonetheless.
This is the first 2D side-scrolling mmorpg available to the public. With over 50 million players in all versions across the globe. Fight monsters in real-time like a platform game, and go on various quests to fulfill your needs. Level up and learn new skills like any other typical rpg. Make friends, trade items, play minigames, and chat with other players. Select your class of Warrior, Magician, Bowman, or Thief. From there, you can level up and change to second, third, or fourth (not yet implemented) job advancements.

Editor's Pros/Cons:
Pros: There really isn't any other mmorpg that is like this, so if you like 2D side scrolling mmorpgs, this is probably the best or only one there is. For those with low-end computers, this game is perfect.
Cons: This game is based on level grinding. Some players who are at level 70+ will simply give up after seeing how hard it is. Another problem with this game are the amount of hackers and scammers that are taking advantage because of the lack of GM activity.

The game in itself is quite a tasty treat, visually it is like playing an oldschool 2D sidescroller, however with that said, I find that the game is also quite unorganized. Missions are unbalanced, as mentioned above, you will spend most of your time just hitting the attack button and level upping to to what seem simple missions. I would play this more, but I do not feel like spending hours upon hours leveling up just to find that I need to do it some more to do this mission that I have to do.
It could be MUCH better, I just wish it was as this WAS right up my alley. Since it is FREE and fun to a point I will give it 6/10.
