Maplestory Evan Introduction

Since I have nothing better to do at the moment besides applying for jobs and doing the everyday chores and tasks I decided to try out a few MMORPGs I had not played yet. To be honest I was quite dissapointed. Either the game was too cash-dependant, had a rotten community or was just plain boring. Even though they are supposed to be 'new' MMORPGs I did not see any positive improvement. Perhaps the graphics look a little nicer but the gameplay is horrible, repetitive and very difficult to focus on. I have yet to find any new MMORPG that suits my fancy. To be honest I am not an easy customer though, I want my MMORPG to be free, constantly keeping players busy with events, cute graphics, an interesting storyline, different character classes, have some cute pets and I would love one where I can actually solo in. I have troubles making friends even in an MMORPG (sad I know) so I would like to be able play the game alone . These kind of MMORPG are hard to find though. I have played so many (36+) over the years but my absolute old-school favourite must be Ragnarok Online. I was planning on taking that up again but unfortunately they have turned into a P2P-type and the free official server has some awful downgrades that pretty much ruin the game for me. I am not planning to play on a private server either.

After searching around for a while I ran into Maplestory again. I don't know what I was thinking when I installed and booted it up again. The graphics are primitive 2D, the cash shop is required to keep up with everyone else and they have so many quests and maps that you soon get very confused and annoyed since your inventory is always full and you don't have enough storage room. I guess it is fine to keep me busy a while though. So currently playing Maplestory Europe on the Kradia server. The main reason for trying again is because eMS released a new class, the Evan to be exact. See the tiny video below for a quick peek.

They are a sort of mages who fight alongside a dragon to protect the world. The dragon and his master are bound through their soul and will protect each other to the end. I guess this reminded me of something and I thought the dragon was absolutely adorable. I am currently level 16 and fighting alongside my dragon who I named Sentaro inspired by my beloved Senpuppy. So far it's not too bad but I doubt the game will keep me busy for long. 

Actually I am waiting for WeMade to step up their game and finally release Digimon Masters Online. I can keep playing the Korean version but translating the quests always takes me 5 minutes each and that adds up to a lot of gaming time needed to actually level up and obtain the Digimon I like. I am also easily distracted lately by my own health, the lack of an income and the annoyance towards my housemates. Thank the Goddess for a lovely soulmate who pulls you up and gives you a reason to keep battling everyday.
