Answer 1

MapleStory is a free, 2D, side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the Korean company Wizet. Several versions of the game are available for specific countries or regions, and each is published by various companies such as Nexon (NexonKorea, NexonChina, and NexonJapan), NXGames, Shanda, AsiaSoft, and Gamania. Although gameplay is free, many player appearances and gameplay enhancements can be purchased from the "Cash Shop" with actual currency. MapleStory has a combined total of over 47 million players in all of its versions. MapleStory Global, for players mainly outside of East Asia and Southeast Asia, has over one million players.

In the game, players defend the "Maple World" from monsters and develop their character's skills and abilities, as in a typical role-playing game. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading, and playing minigames. Groups of players can ally together in "parties" to hunt monsters and share the rewards, or they can band together under a common name in a guild.

MapleStory DS is the tenative title of the Nintendo DS version of the game, which is currently under development. The Korean release date is set for late 2006 or early 2007.

GamePlay:
As in any typical MMORPG, gameplay centers around venturing into dungeons and combating monsters in real time. However, MapleStory's 2D side-scrolling viewpoint more closely resembles a platformer than the typical 3D or top-down view of other games. Though the 2D graphics don't give the player a more realistic feeling, it is an important part of MapleStory, for the 2D effect helps the game have larger levels. MapleStory characters fight monsters through a series of attacks and skills. Along with combat, jumping is an integral part of the game. MapleStory is played mainly with the keyboard; the mouse is used in different menus and inventory windows

Characters in MapleStory advance by gaining experience points (EXP), leveling up, improving various skills and collecting various items and pieces of wieldable equipment. The players combat monsters, acquire play money called "Mesos" or "Meru" (depending on version) and various items, as well as completing quests.

MapleStory characters exist in domains called "worlds" or "servers", e.g., "Scania" or "Juidis". Players are allowed to create up to three different characters in each world. Each world, similar in content between each other in the same version, is split into twenty channels, among which characters are allowed to switch. Characters and their items cannot be transferred between worlds, although there is limited functionality in transferring items between characters of the same world. Players can use facial expressions ingame. Players may also buy additional facial expressions from the Cash Shop.
