Maplestory vs. WoW from Maplestory guide for beginners and experienced players

daria369 Moderated by daria369

Maplestory is a hundred times better than World of Warcraft. I don't know why no one wants to admit it but you all know it.

Maplestory = Win

WoW = Epic Fail

Don't you agree??

randomperson says:

duh...

noor says:

WoW is epic fail it sux badly.
right

mervire says:

MapleStory rocks

Jhon says:

15 bucks a month on wow and first purchase cost is no were near as much as the avg maplestory player pays. Plus it is just a matter of opinion which games suck over 2 million people play Runescape, 7 million for Wow, alot for Maplestory, my point is it is just opinion it is not set in stone which game is better.

sdasda says:

WoW = Epic Fail, nuff said

WoWisWASTEofURlife says:

MiMi says:

luvan1me says:

you don't have to spend on cash shop.. geesh. and maple story is FREE fyi. unlike stupid WoW it's just bull crapz on what you're paying, when i can play PerfectWorld for free and get pretty much the same damnz thing! so maplestory vs. WoW = maplestory winz
sorry but waaaay too many ppl i know have been sucked and zombifiedz by WoW so i HATE WoW with a passion!

sn0wstar says:

unkn0wn: "Think about it, How much do you spend on cash shop? You prob. Will spend more then what us WoW players spend. We pay 30$ for 2 months. You MS players pay how much for cash shop that most items only last 90 days? I'm not hating on maple or anything, but I think WoW is better, better Gameplay, Better Story line, its something that everyone can play, 3-D, Maple and WoW both got its pros and cons"
FAIL!!!!
90 days is 3 months and you said your stuff lasts for 2 months!!!

MS FTW! says:

wow = worse than maplestory
wow = 15 times more expensive than maplestory
thus wow = crap

DuskChain says:

DUH

Pieluvr says:

Pie = epic win
Maplestory = really good=
Wow = just plain stupid, im not even gonna say epic fail......nvm.....EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

Get.a.lifeSTFU says:

who cares there 2 completely different games WoW is shit 3d american game while Maplestory is a better 2D asian game so stop whining for fucks sake

Nigger says:

Fucking nigger WoW.. Whoever likes that needs to get laid.

MapleAddicted says:

MapleStory is wayyy better than WoW. I mean, just looking at the tittle "WoW" just makes it epic fail.

fk you stupid gay guy says:

yes wow can suck dick

the stupid gay guy says:

yes ms is better

axel says:

they are very different so it is hard to compare them. however i am just starting ms and am lvl 22 on wow. overall i like wow, but i hated the grinding untill level 20, when it starts getting fun. if maplestory is the same id say they will end up about even. i love the grapghics and system req. great if playing on an older computer. hope someone actually read all this, (=

Kimberly says:

is a hard dicsion beacause i play both but over all i would have to say maple is better

asd says:

Wow

sickynar says:

all the people who are saying WoW are kinda weird I hav played WoW and its not that great. A bunch of my friends played it and most of them were high level 65+ and I was level 30 but it was really boring. Maplestory is nice because its easier to level up, but not too easy so it just clicks. The other thing about it is that its in 2D, which most people think is stupid, but it makes the game much more playable and fun. 3D games arent bad but to really play them well you hav to click on wat you want then do a series of other buttons then move your hand back on the mouse. It doesnt seem to matter much, but when doing this hundreds of times it is terrible.

sickynar says:

i played maple then quit(idk why wasnt bored of it). I started playing WoW and it sucked. The skills are boring and because its PvP you cant do quests in certain areas. If you join a nonPvP server, than no one else is ever playing. But more importantly the skills are boring and in maple you feel cool when you attack so BOOM.

Mo says:

duh

Really? says:

Just putting it out there but a lot of the people posting on both sides seem kinda stupid... its not that hard to write more than "MAPLESTORY FTW"(Just picked one of the shorter ones) and its gonna make you look less stupid.

Mr. Maple says:

Wow=BORING Maplestory= 100% (plus its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) =P

Nazi LOL says:

All Right.:)

Beta says:

I have played WoW and I prefer MS. No other game makes you feel quite like a god as a high level class in MS. But it's all about which you like to play more...

Anastasia V. says:

Err, wow.
It sucks that people that can't type defended MapleStory...

In my opinion, BOTH games have ignorant players, and you can't prove that either one has more than the other.
Don't even say "NUU MAPLESTORY HAZ MOAR IGNORNT PLAYERS!!!!1111oneone"
Especially if you have not even played the game.
Which, by your responses it seems as if you haven't even touched it.

Also, you haven't even supported your thesis, but I can support my own:
-Why are you even proud that World of Warcraft isn't free at first? That isn't a good thing, idiot. Although Maplestory isn't exactly free either, two words: NX CASH. That just proved you know nothing about the game. But we don't gloat about it.
-95% of the people on Maplestory do not stick with beginner clothing/hair, they payed with REAL MONEY to get their items. That means they CAN afford to play any online game they choose, little shit.
-Wrong, maplestory involves more than pressing 3 keys.

I honestly think paying each month for a game like WoW is a waste of money. If you play for several months and add it up, then you'll see that it costs more than the average amount any game by Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, etc, which have MUCH better games than WoW, and are lower prices does not mean it's "cheap" and it "sucks", it just means products for people who have common sense in saving money for something that is x10 better than something less worthy of money and more expensive.
For example, you're buying a camera.
Brand A Camera is cheaper and has higher quality, whereas Brand B has lower qualities and more popular.
Which would you rather get?
If you're intelligent enough to realize money doesn't come out of your ass, you'd choose A.

Overall, Maplestory is a cutely animated game and allows many interactions and is full of adventure. The graphics are not 3d, but they are cute and tolerable. That's all *I* ask for in a game. It being 3d does not make it more enjoyable, sorry, it may be impressive but it doesn't gaurantee satisfaction.
WoW is nothing special. The whole game was completely cliche, there are so many games exactly like it, and with a lower cost.

That's the reason why I like maplestory, and besides, at least Maplestory doesn't have a bad reputation for viruses and fat retards that can't support their claims. -Cough-

MSsindit says:

Ok , dude look! u just trying to protect ur game from getting insultet, and I an help u guys stop being LAME, u made me rofl for hours of wat u commented and dude, I have to say u are pretty dumb for acting like addicted to WOW, is unlike i haven't played it yet, so stop thinking every one is just not mature and so poor that they can't even play WOW! this don't make sense, if u like the game so much, why are u still wasting ur time to make ur self lame?

oh yeah! btw, thx for making me rofl for hours, that was fun, do something stupid again so i can laugh!

^_^ haha

MSsindit says:

okay, ppl listen! WOW SUX LIKE SHYTS AND MAPLESTORY IS WAY BETTER! I no some of u will have hard feelings but I am just speaking the truth! u have to PAY to play WOW, but u don't in Maplestory, and Maplestory have better community unlike WOW, and this is Darn true, i did surveys on my friends and they like MAPLESTORY way better! so go home and start to enjoy maplestory and stop being a @sshole sticking to WOW! only losers play WOW and think it's cool!

MSsindit says:

MaplestoryRox says:

Maplestory DESTROYS crappy WoW!!!

MSrules says:

Maplestory rules. Only obsessed WoW players disagree.

asd says:

I AGREEEEEEEEEE!

FrostSoul says:

LOL who ever things WOW is better = NOOB. 15 bucks a months adds up to alot. and who caresif 3d is cool maple mad2 2d Pwn. it awsome, lots of user of all ages, and FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE =D

ZeroSinVGX says:

FUCK YEAH

Ridiculed and New says:

I personally believe that Maplestory is better then WoW, but only when you reach a higher level. Being a low level in this MS pretty much means Monsters are gonna be treated better. I mean, being a New play Player is pretty much gonna make you be hated for a while. Players on that game really have something against Newbies >_<"

And, there is a difference between Newbie and Nooby. Nooby is someone who is really annoying. Newbie is just someone new to a game.

Dust says:

WoW is overrated. c'mon 15 bucks a month

katie says:

i totally agree wow sux

Chris says:

MS rules. It's better than wow due to the friendly enviroment and the many unique bosses and special skills.

Amos says:

So right.

Wow sucks...Ms rules!!! says:

maple maple woo party ....

Shooting.....W.o.w =D

What mmorpg is brillaint....MAPLESTORY!!!!!

if you like maple story say maple123

if you think wow sucks press wow123

Wow sucks...Ms rules!!! says:

Pfft world of warcraft haha yes it has 10 billion player but what was that......maplestory has over 50 million player beat that, i am a level 20 beginner (perma-beginner)
i hit up to more than a hundred and i train mostly and will progress throughout the game and hopefully be popular =D becuase of me being a high level rare and unique perma-beginner so wow sucks sorry but it does waste of cash than ms is great it has more people on it becuase of there free of charge download and play today unlike wow i like 15 pound to 25 pound for the game and takes up loads of memory than maplestory only takes a bit of memory to install so maplestory rules!!!!! =P .....W.o.w booooooo =D

txmom says:

No subscription fee to play Maplestory, unlike WOW. Both are addicting, WOW more so. That being said, my younger kids prefer Maplestory and a couple older kids WOW.

asjgouwygfkjf says:

YES

Pikachu says:

MAPLE MAPLE MAPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW=retarded~_O

Garnet says:

wow w0w is like some nerd game for nerds while ms is for all users

KV says:

dang straight. i first played maplestory and was like.... this sucks.. now i pwn with my lvl 97 mage

kevin says:

ur right maple is better :]

Your Fellow Mapler says:

Whereas i have to agree with you on this, it is nearly impossible to compare the two, because the entire styles of the games are completely different. Maplestory is quite awesome though. So I say OH YEAH!!!!

aslfgqgo8ybvnca says:

yes

kaela says:

ya. WoW is ok but MS kicks butt

DP2727 says:

MS is definitely more fun, and can be just as hardcore as WoW. More in this game depends on your interaction with other players, therefore your choice of guild is important. Being in a guild of older players really makes a difference. Also, even though MS is 2D it has better graphics and better music too. Oh, and it's free!

darknesspower says:

WOW SUCKS because you have to pay alot of money like 50 dollars a month. It waste alot of your money and maplestory doesnt.I play the world scania, windia, broa, kradia and sometime other worlds.

darknesspower says:

maplestory rules because its fun and you can get married and party members, partyquest. Its fun fighting bosses like horntail can owned WOW.

ff says:

Thats right! Maplestory's WAY better!!!!!!

Zach says:

Wow is the worst MMO, it just has alot of money for advertizing

WoW Sukz says:

WoW charges ALOT + Bad Graphics

starandknife (bellocan) says:

duh
WOW sucks. cmon 15 bucks a month? think of all the nx cash u could get and still have enough left to get a load of skittles. trust me, i have tried it (for 2 months btw) and most of it was trying to find out how to move. insanely bad. the best part of it is the graphics and the ability to jump off cliffs (or so i heard)
WOW is a noob game dont play it! (or runescape)

japkebab (ems name) says:

i agree
i realy enjoy playing maple
i play it like over a year now and its still fun
maple pwns hard ^^

Earth4animal says:

i agree with the other kid.......

RUNESCAPE SUXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!
DX O POWNED! BUT SERIOUSLY IT DOES SUX.

Earth4animal says:

Maple story is fun to play, there are lots of kids my age. its free and it doesn't take up so much space on ur computer.
MS FTW!!!!!!!

They're both good says:

How could you compare them when they are two completely different games? I'm sure MapleStory has benefits of its own but so does World of Warcraft. I know since im both a mapler and a WoW player, they're both unique in their own ways..

runescapesucks says:

runescape sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ms rules!!!!!!!!! never tried wow tho but runescape suckss!!!!lolololololololol

sniifbot says:

maples the best!!!!!!!!!

bree623 says:

not an online gamer at all, I don't have the time.

Rachel says:

MAPLESTORY FTW

blueyblahh says:

OMFG.
only an idiot would think wow is better than maple.
OMFG; MPLESTORY OWNS.
MAPLE FTW FTW FTW FTW

[FTW = fuck the world]

BrianS says:

Who has the time, great for those that do though I guess.

IsisAriadne says:

I completely agree. There is no comparison between MS and WoW because MS has much better quests and gameplay. It's also an awesomely social game with beautiful graphics.

Arten says:

Im glad someone finally agrees with me jeez some people have no idea how bad and repetitive wow can get...

You're insane....

-.- ftw says:

3d adventure vs 2d adventure... get my drift?

unkn0wn says:

Think about it, How much do you spend on cash shop? You prob. Will spend more then what us WoW players spend. We pay 30$ for 2 months. You MS players pay how much for cash shop that most items only last 90 days? I'm not hating on maple or anything, but I think WoW is better, better Gameplay, Better Story line, its something that everyone can play, 3-D, Maple and WoW both got its pros and cons

Yo Mama says:

Maplestory sucks
WoW FTW!

Albert says:

World of Warcraft suceeds in graphics but big time of everlasting pointlessly stupid. Maplestory Graphics are as bad looking as my shit but is very fun to play and interact with other people Thank you.!

the stupid gay guy says:

whats WoW

jkl;' says:

WoW, better graphics.

get.a.LIFE says:

Maple... [+] ~nice looking 2D
~lot of fun
~free of charge

[-] ~worse game-economy i've ever seen; 7mil for just a star?
~it's hard to lvling from 30++ if you dont have extra extras
~Hackers.Hackers.Hackers(never see em on WoW)
~Fuckin Cash Shop, so Asian...blah

WoW... [+]~ Cool 3D
~ Huge environment (and getting bigger by time)
~ Deep gameplay
~ dramatic Storyplay

[-] ~Monthly fee(or once every 2 mnth)
thot its rather cheap and reasonable compared to cash
~Spamers

get.a.LIFE says:

WoW = Better display, better story, deeper gameplay
AND NO CASH FUCKIN SHOP THINGY
[it's sucks seeing kids wears blink-blinks]
-but i got banned ...Irabuana Whisperwind 80 rogue

Maple = nice 2D, lot of funny things, it just.. so fun... at the beginning
But once you hit 30........

the economy is the worse game-economy i have ever seen
1 star for 7mil?
-and still playing this just to killing time .....dementos sin, pirate, mage

Yuna says:

WoW works out cheaper.

UnBiased says:

Having played both WoW and Maplestory I have to say that games like Maplestory are great until about level 30, when evere kid decides that its easier just to buy a lot of extra items online with their parent's credit card (and same for all the adults but with their own credit cards). In WoW the first 15 or so levels suck, and it requires some perserverence to keep playing, but once you reach 15 or so you can go more or less anywhere (helps to have a high level friend though). WoW you pay once every two months, the subscription card is sold in most stores, and with the exception of expansions everyone gets the same thing out of the game.

So all in all I would say that for just the casual gamer Maplestory is better, but if you want to put a lot of time in over a shorter duration WoW is better.
Just a thought... Since this is on a Maplestory guide I will assume that most of the people supporting WoW have played MS. But how mny of the people demonizing WoW have actually played it?
Think about it.

Luna says:

WoW IS better. One, Most people who play MS know that its not free. The cash items are quite pricy. sure u dont HAVE to get them but i guarentee you most kids which are 30+ that play have gotten it.

WoW you pay for the 60 day card and there are no special privleges to anyone else. Point blank WoW turns out to be cheaper, more fun and realistic, and all ages play.

In a year MS will be bankrupt if people stop buying cash points (its their only income)because it is just a fad. WoW however, has many sources of income including books, figurenes, ect. not to mention the addons which have to pay them a little each month and the pre paid cards and other sources of 60 day pay.

Oh and btw. Mushrooms dont have faces, talk or walk.

jay #31 says:

point blank if you played wow you know hands down that it is better...
end :)

AA says:

maybe

jerm says:

both games have their strong points
but wow is much deeper and has more to offer.
Fortunately maple story is free so i can play both.
I have noticed that lots of kids play maple story though.

Alyssa says:

WoW IS way better.... before you say it sucks if u havent tried it try it for FREE for a whole WEEK at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/trial/index.html i sugjest Burning crusade for those who actually click the link... all the things in the 1st one but more.

Think about it. other than having an event every 3 months, or creating a "new job" or new quests MAPLESTORY DOESNT CHANGE.

Every few years, WoW might put a new version out for sale, that u have to buy but once u buy it u only have to pay after ur first free month every 2 months. and u get new patches FREE. so really, why not buy? do the math.

initial price-$50
after 1 month-$40
after 2 months-$40...

basically for 11 months it is $250. It may seems like a lot at first, but if u have an allowance or a job its EASY to get. just set aside $40 after youve bought battle chest for when ur free month is up, then $40 bucks every 2 months. Does that not seem reasonable? If not look at it like this: would you rather have an @$$kicking game for free for a month that goes bankrupt or one that survives and changes for lil? THROUGH AND THROUGH WoW IS THE BEST!

Cara says:

WoW IS a million times better and resonable price too! think about it, 50 bucks for a battle chest and 1 month, 40 bucks for each 2 months extra.... i have a $20 week allowance so i have plenty extra to spend still! WoW, way better graphics, more people, and unless ur a dwarf or gnome, no midgits!

ravenshaw says:

Maplestory contains more ignorant players such as the ones on the "OH YEAH!!!!" side who are continue to abuse the Caps Lock button saying stuff like, "PAY to play WOW, WOW SUX LIKE SHYTS AND MAPLESTORY IS WAY BETTER"

This obviously means this person can either not afford to pay for WoW or is a little child or teenager whose parents/guardians do not let him/her play WoW.
The graphics on WoW are much better than the ones on Maplestory.

Free GamesMaplestory.

P.S To the people on the OH YEAH!!!! side, please post more ignorant responses, you will prove my point even more :D

Drake says:

3 letters, PvP, WoW Imho

David M says:

Ive played both Personally so im not the guys on maplestory side who obviously havent played. WoW has many features that are clearly better then Maplestory But Maplestory is better then WoW in some ways. WoW has so much things in the world that it should cost more. World of warcraft has more players and they have better fundings i guess. Nexon could get this and make Maplestory better but they are too stupid and they just keep creating new games every year

I am a Mapler but i do support WoW

Jesse says:

hail no

anonymous says:

WoW!

pix says:

Nay, WoW has unique quests and a 3d environment makes things like battling bosses and duelling players way more enjoyable.

Fex says:

wow= awesomeness. reason: good graphics, whole wow world= at least 7x bigger, more classes, at least 3x more monsters and hell load that I dont have to time to say. =)

Stephan says:

world of warcraft kicks maplestory's ass, the only thing good about maple story is how its so simple to play a 2 year old could pley and it gives u a brake from the ausome intensity of wow

kyle says:

Wow is better(i had a longer thing but i deleted it by accident and im too lazy to do it again) THERES A REASON WOW IS 15 DOLLARS A MONTH!

MAMAMIA! says:

Well, they're both good...

pleasela says:

OMG maple better then wow?
hahah you gotta be joking!!!
in maple you reach level 200 and...
your out of options.

pleasela says:

Maplestory is a game where all you have to do is press 3 buttons. Obviously people compare it better to wow because its 100000x easier. 90% of the maple community are kids and spoiled brats thinking they are better then everyone else so if you wanna start maple why bother? maple is for kids

shawdowcreep says:

you are wrong wow is much more fun than maplestory! look wow has 3-d graphics more spells and better pvp/gameplay! Againist maplestory has lame graphics worse gameplay and the PVP SUCKS!

starryskye81 says:

I've never heard of Maplestory, going to ask my sister because she's a WOW fanatic!

Heather in Beautiful British Columbia says:

Hmmmmm... I have trouble enough playing scrabble... this is way beyond me!

Karen215 says:

I wouldn't know where to begin to utilize this. I'll bet my kids would like it.

Not Retarded says:

Maple Story sucks, it's just a clone of all the free Korean games out there that sell their own currency to stay afloat.

JamacianBacon says:

Runescape is better than either of them.

smuggler says:

get a grip
