For me, Maplestory was more than a game.

It was my childhood.

But do not be mistaken; I did not spend my entire childhood playing itRather, I spent the entirety of it listening to my friends talk about it.

“Hey, did you see that latest job?”

“Yeah, I did! It’s totally wicked!”

And then there was me, who didn’t really give a rat’s fart about it. But guess what? Wherever I go, however much time passes, I would always hear about it.

When I entered the workforce, I had pretty much resigned myself to my fate. And true to my expectations, my boss came sprinting to me this morning with a paper in hand.

“Is that… toilet paper?” I crinkled my nose.

“Dat’s right. Saw it in the toilet and just had to write it down, yo”, he said. “Anyway, Strawberry! Write this ASAP.”

I took a look. “You Can Now Play MapleStory on Your Phone. Here’s What You Should Know,” it read on the paper. Curiously, the fonts were a distinct, liquid brown, but I didn’t ask about it.

I looked at it for another second, before sighing.

Right, there we go again.

There will be an arena-based challenge too, called the Mu Lung Dojo, where you’re expected to defeat monsters on each floor to advance and ultimately face the martial arts master ‘Mu Gong’. ‘Nett’s Pyramid’, on the other hand, is an arena where you fend off mummies and monsters alike to reveal mysterious treasures.

And of course, no Maple game’s complete without its iconic boss character! Join a raid party with up to 10 players in ‘Expedition‘ mode, and battle against Zakum for exclusive rewards!
