Maplestory stories are the best!

I just wanted simply to thank Maplestory team for these stories, I like them much. Friendstory, Black Heaven, Heroes of Maple, Crimsonwood Past, Grand Athenaeum, Afterlands. Most of MMORPGs today are just click on quest, direct teleport to the monsters and then you kill them easily and repeat. But this game is different, you can see stories with actually LOGIC (not those random stories with no creativity), and I get immersed very quickly. I hope you guys keep it up with this game, although sometimes I see a few bugs, the work has been very well done!

    Crimsonwood "past" its at best dissapoiting really bad imo it feel like
    someone took the original content deleted a bunch of stuff and made a reboot of it
    it leaves soo many plot holes and deletes a few stated things in the previous work from somebody else
    btw not just the "serious" art exchange for some "cute" style

    Yeah... I take the story for granted sometimes, but there are so many games out there with much worse stories. For the heavily aged, bizarre and cartoony world that Maple World is, it has some fairly interesting lore and characters with a story that hasn't become a complete mess yet.

    Heroes of Maple and Secret Stories were my absolute faves. I actually didn't really like Black Heaven though lol. I mean, I ship Orchid and Francis, but I guess I just don't really like the Cygnus Knights and Resistance. Neinhart's voice acting was also sorta cringe for me.

    (also despite how much I liked Heroes of Maple and Secret Stories, I still think RuneScape has the best storytelling :3 too bad the really good ones aren't easily accessible to new players like the story quests in MS are)

    The Grand Athenaeum's story about the White Mage was one of my favorites along with the old version of CWK.

    A story line that a lot of people overlook, but is really interesting is the Magatia questline. I believe it hasn't been changed since it was first released.

    I really like the stories Maplestory comes up with too. In the beginning the stories were kind of slipshod and half-assed since Maple came up with the Black Mage as an excuse for new content so Aran and Evan's stories are kind of outdated, but they've been putting more effort into it since and it's been enjoyable.

    The Afterlands are one of the best theme dungeons i have ever seen. Mechanically and thematically likewise.

    Sometimes I just wanna do every quest and read every single dialog that the NPCs have. But then I decide that would be really boring after a while, even though I'd want to continue the story.

    Don't forget all the quests - they give a LOT of backstory and show you how dark Maple really is.

    Hats off to the writers.
    Gotta love the wide variety of stories they deliver extremely well; ranging from Black Heaven's raw emotional drama to Friendstory's lighthearted comedy.

    Inb4, "I always skip all the text" I knew quite a few people who do that, and then ask for help in it, because they didn't read anything.

    I wuv the story-line of Naracane made me feel for the ol' chap. Who would have thought that whacking snails with tuna can have a backstory like this lol

    I skip them most the time for random quest's, but when it comes to something like Zero's Story, or any of the main stories that have cutscenes and and stuff then I tend to read those, or listen if they're voiced acted.

    I don't know about those people who ask for help for not reading, but I use Google if I need help. xD

    @Hielk That's the thing though, those people I was talking about skip through everything with cut-scenes, not just a random quest or whatever.

    I find Lotus and orchids backstory so incredibly moving.

    Also the music, wow!
