Despite Misgivings, We Might Play MapleStory Worlds For The Nostalgia
But We May Not Be The Intended Audience
I , like many others of my coevals , have fond memories of playingMapleStorywith my friends when I was new . The game was bare and repetitious , but it was this charming simplicity that made it so easy to get soak up into the game for hour . As an grownup , I no longer have the time to dedicate myself to an MMO , so I ca n’t imagine ever getting back into a game likeMapleStory .
However , MapleStory Worldshits me right in the nostalgia , and it looks like a game that would n’t require as large of a time dedication . I ca n’t see myself playing it long - terminus , but I will in all probability download and play around with it . I mistrust that I may not be the intended interview , though : TheRoblox - like appealof the biz might be an effort by Nexon to get the attention of a new , younger player cornerstone .
MapleStory Worldsis available to download and play in the Americas right now . The game is in beta and will continue to see update as more creation and worlds are summate .
