Tis I, Guruji.
I haven’t posted here in ages: one reason….actually, many
I quit Maplestory. However, unlike others who quit it, I’m not going to tell all of you guys and girls to quit as well, nor am I going to say “there are more important things in life” as an opposing argument to quitting.
I simply quit because I found an MMORPG that is monumentally better than Maplestory in many many aspects…
…a game called….trickster…
Trickster, in my opinion, PWNS maplestory. It’s got a storyline, card battles, normal battles against monsters, guild battles, PvP battles a unique drill system…and the list can go on my friends.
However, I’m not saying that Maplestory is bad…
Maplestory has…um…it has…oh wait…only…”killing monsters” D: …Yep, that’s basically it, I guess thats what makes Maplestory good in your eyes.
Anyway, here is a List of stuff for each game in comparison to eachother
Trickster
Pros:
-Unique Drill System
-Unique Classes
-Partying actually gets you a maximum of 2.5x experience
-Guild Battles
-PvP Fights
-My Camp (you set up a camp and buy stuff for it’s interior, people can come into your “my camp” just to chill)
-AFK Notes (you can leave a note above your head when your AFK)
-Memos (Send messages to people who are either online OR offline)
-Shops (yep, no cash shop needed to open up a user shop D
-And before you comment on “dinky costumes”, keep in mind that they can be taken off at level 20
-The world is pretty big, you can get lost in it (for me, it only makes it seem like a real RPG from the good ol’ days)
-Can’t be hacked D:
-There is probably more…it’s still in BETA
-Making the game a little harder to download and run gets rid of stupid n00bs
Cons:
-Takes double the time it takes to download MS (400 mb dload, then 400 mb patch)
-The GUI takes some getting used to
-No buddy list talk >.<; (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!)
I guess this proves my thesis that Trickster > Maplestory
The second reason why I quit was because you people write too many fanfictions.
IF YOU WANNA WRITE FANFICTIONS, WRITE EM AT link
I swear i feel like Simon Cowell when i read mosta of these fics anyway. The urge to make the author feel bad is so strong…the urge to make the reader feel bad about liking the crappy story is even stronger…
Anyway, thought I’d post a pic of trickster and MS Fanart from the golden days
Don’t phlame trickster if you haven’t played it for a sufficient amount of time or else your comments will be deemed worthless drivel that parallels nothingness
ov heard of it b4, im still deciding if wanna play,
Trickster is a point-and-click. People who play MS typically prefer the straight-forward, press-a-button-and-attack mechanic of MS. Also, there’s more strategy in MS: Heal, jump, attack, uncurse, heal, skill, In Trickster, it’s pretty much just click, use a potion every now and then for the beginning of the game. Not so easy to jump into, unlike MS. You have made some strong points, however, the game isnt that hard to run: download launcher, open launcher, download full game, and as for the drilling system, it’s just to retrieve items. It takes awhile before you actually come across something USEFUL. Again, you have made strong points, a good read, however, it’s not enough to get people to jump into the game. If you were too mention how the classes differientiate largely from eachother, or the massive amounts of quests, you may have persuaded a few people to pick it up. I also see how you left out the fact that the tutorial is an hour long tedious. As for the story, it doesnt really impact the game. MS has the same amount of storyline: In Trickster, you’re trying to find some mogal’s money, in MS, you’re trying to rid the land of monsters. You’re also leaving out the social aspect of the two, MS being the heavier. In MS, it’s geared around making friends and doing stuff with other people, however in Trickster, you can just go off and do your own thing. And I find it a lot harder to find friends, location wise, when first starting the game. Usually, when one starts a game, they dont know the map, so it’s a lot easier to get lost in Trickster. Too easy. Again, a good read, just make sure you have the all facts before you compare great games like this.
BTW i like the fan art.
im donloading it now
but were da site?lol
i played trickster. . .i hate it. It is (in my opinon) 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times worse the Maple Story
Ha! Took me 20 minutes to download the whole thing and wow, VirgilDiablo you sure like MS don’tcha ~_<
Anyways Trickster is good but don’t quit MS! T_T
Trickster pwns we all know that >.<
z, dam 40 min?i guess ill play rakion at the moment unless i talk 40 min and i can do that
uh, the tutorial is not an hour long or tedious. I finished it in 15 minutes on the first try
I didn’t mention the massive amounts of quests since i never really do quests in any MMO games
and MS has no storyline whatsoever. All you do is “hunt”.
This wasn’ t really much of an essay, more of a rant
Read: link
my best rant evurr
Then read the following: link which is where i make fun of anti-hackers throught their perspective
clicking sucks! it reminds me of runescape ugh. Are there any cheap means of transportation around the vast maps? (in runescape i had to wait for half a month before my magic was strong enough to allow me to teleport, and 3D games need hours to travel from one side of the world to the other) If there aren’t any, no way trickster is even gonna hold a candle to maple story. Also, Maple Story has jumping quests and Party quests, which I’m pretty sure trickster doesn’t.
Also, MS music pwns like hell. I downloaded the entire song base and I’m addicted just listening to the various tunes.
ugh, taking soo long well i might c wats its like in like an hour or so. im cofused.howed u play? if there is a tutorial does it say every thing u need 2 no?
Didnt say it was an essay, didnt say it was a rant. Just furthering the comparison of the two. i hate online tutorials, i always know what to do but I dont want to miss anything. MS does have a story line, if you did a little reearch you’d know that. And just because you dont do quests, doesnt mean other people dont. Not to be flaming here, but I dont really care for people who advertise their posts in a comment for their own post.
Yay Guruji posted! :*Guruji rules!*
Good point about Trickster vs. Maplestory, but the problem is I really do have very little tolerance for poin’t-n-click-n-that’s-it in games. I play MapleStory not so much for the depth, but for the action battles, and the friends, and the noobs are actually fun in some cases. *lovespwningnoobs*
Oh Jesus noooooooo I was gonna try Trickster but my computer is too messed up and doesnt have the 1.9 GB needed XP
i just stared playing trickster. pretty fun. how do u take ss? can u take ss?
also hows u get PvP? and u 4got bout card battle. hows u do that?
Trickster looks cool. My brother emailed me all the way from Asia to tell me to try it . I’m downloading it right now.
4 days for that? I got to 20 in one day then 30 the next day
Hmm. Trickster seems based mainly around killing and drilling for items. Oh well, I’m still downloading it to try it out; it’s at 13% right now. There’s one answer I couldn’t find at the main site. Are there multiple servers, or is there just one since the game is still small and in its Beta version?
Trickster = Runescape just with more animated graphics. =/
guruji don’t annoy maplers
if u want to brag about quiting maple and talking about trickster do it sumwhere else
and btw ur character is ugly.
My friend told me that the NPCs in Trickster have terrible grammar, I don’t rmber exactly what they said, but Trickster seriously needs better translaters,
haha ur lvl 15! maple is way faster to train
about
–Making the game a little harder to download and run gets rid of stupid n00bs
that is bad
“you” were once a noob to so don’t say that
u r just one of those stuck up pros who just think of maplestory as a “hunting game”
well here watch this [url=
&eurl=]text[/url].
thx to the love on youtube ^^
Meh, trickster follows the same basic mechanics that almost every other MMO I’ve played has. Maple story is nice because it’s actually different, in that it’s side-scrolling/platform based. Everything else is all the same to me.
Trickster may be more in depth persay, but there are so many other games that I would rather play if I wanted to play point-and-click. Maples is just, in a catagory all it’s own. It’s like comparing apples and shrimp — it depends on what you’re in the mood for.
Just my two cents~
no guruju has turned to the dark side!
i was also gonna try trickster but some error came up at about 3 hours into the patch, and i just agave up then -_-

um, kaiba. You don’t want to mess with me ok?
And this website is about MMORPGs. Trickster is an MMORPG, thus i can post about it on this site. ANd in no part did i brag about me quitting MS. I just said i quit. . .
and you said that my character is ugly. Well, heres news for you: I really don’t care. I don’t know you so an opinion like that is deemed worthless drivel in my mind
And about stupid n00bs. My definition of n00b is people who beg, KS, and who are named “kaiba525”, not someone who has just started a game. Someone who just started a game owuld be reffered to as “new” in my words
Another thing. I was only lvl 67, thats not pro.
And about MS being faster to train in? I’m already level 28 my dear, in a matter of 4 days >.>
Thats right Kaiba, now you can just stop talking
EDIT: saw your video. I’d like to say i daon’t fall under that category. I added most of my MS friends onto my MSN anyway.
Most beta MMOs have bad grammar. So do most MMO players.
In fact, the trixter NPCs have better grammar than Kaiba525, so if you can read what he writes, you’re fine.
I actually like games that require time to get between cities. WHy? Brings me nostalgia
I mean, in tales of phantasia i was told to go east and i travelled halfway around the world west . A real RPG gets you lost .
ANyway, yes, there are teleport NPCs and teleportations items. Unlike MS, the teleportation item allows you to choose where to go before it gets used.
Trickster may not have JQs or PQs, but they have event quests. These event quests require you to have a party and it uncovers a storyline (event quests are not GM events, they are a normal part of trickster)
And on terms of music, well, i get sick and tired of MS music (altho i like Omega Sector Music )
lol, i looked at the picture (btw, the girl’s robes looks cool) and i couldn’t help noticing they are burning a !0% scroll to light the fire. =P
kinda sounds like aero2 which is a type of ragnarok. i quit ro cause no one was playing but it seems a lot alike the graphics are kinda the same too o_O
Eh, It’s a lttle slow, got pretty boring, only played for 2 minutes max so I’ma play more. It takes forever to patch.
Both games are made by Ntreev, and they have an online golf game, PangYa.
PangYa seems alot better than Trickster though.
More colorful and exciting than Ragnarok.
Oh, and grats on level 28 in 4 days.
GURUJI
ure calling me a noob eh , hahahahahahaha
calling other ppl noob would ge called “stuck up pro”
AND IF URE TALKING ABOUT TRICKSTER POST IT THERE
and whats the problem with messing with u ,, ure anoying other maplers
-kaiba525-
as god as my witness you will NEVER enter true society with that kind of writing kaiba, write GOOD please, anyway. . . .trickster is no reason to quit MS, though i am getting bored of it, im tired of the non-stop training and thats it, nevermind. i might quit T_T

If you are to determine noobiness by level, then let me tell you that I have a level 67 fighter in scania. I know that’s a low level, but keep in mind that I was a beta tester.
Usually, proness is determined by seniority than level. There can be a level 78 noob-arse mage and a level 36 genius archer. I’ve seen it. I’ve bought a 10% glove atk scroll from a 5x mage for only 500k.
Anyway, MY seniority on MMOTales has decided that YOU are the n00b. Deal with it for it is the sad truth.
And incase you don’t know, this topic is posted UNDER the trickster section of this site so you can just suck it. ok? ^^;
Bye bye Kaiba. . . dealing with something as worthless as you is meaningless.
*gasp* what a horrid thing to say. Well, I don’t care
PS to rest of MMOtales: lately im in a really bad mood >.<;
watever
so lame.
i aint talking to u anymore
calling me useless is just plain dumb
otherwise mankid won’t hve a purpose
so lame.

I guess I won this battle. W00t.
EDIT: anyway, kaiba, you were just a random phlamer with no purpose that just felt like barking back to me. I call those kind of thread-junkies “porch dogs”. Why “porch dogs”?
Lemme explain. Ap orch dog may bark all he wants but he is not going to hurt you. A porch dog in threads and forums is a flamer that poses no intellectual threat.
Guruji, what world?
Pearl or Ruby
RUby
i tried to add you yesterday but u were offline D:
*cough* kaiba the yu-gi-oh wannabe got pwned *cough*
well guru ill meet you in a little while
but i need to at least get to 50 first
i dont want ms to be like gunbound
i thought i would never leave then i ditched it for ms
im not so willing to just let go of my maplers
besides it can be like old times
you in your 50’s levelin up every day
me in my 20’s leveing up every month lol
I played for 6 days and got to lvl 52. But it gets just as repetetive as MS. And now that my DK in mS has lvl 21 Buster (attacks 2 monsters 3 times) I’ve got way more addicted to MS. TO is worth it, but don’t delete your MS chars before it. Some people like, some people hate =/
EDIT: I’ve seen you around at Gate of Desert beach.
I’ve played Maple Story too much. Thus, I cannot adjust my eyes for any other games. I.E. Trickster, FlyFF. God damn, I can’t even read what people say on GunBound without being confused like crazy. -.-
MS = Simple.
I can’t even imagine leaving all my bestest online buddies on Maple Story for Trickster. (:
eh. . .i was looking through the other games besidesd MS blogs and i saw this and i came to comment.
and all i have to say is:
flyff pwnes
i agree with tat dude trickster is better. faster lv card battle and other stuff.+ maple story has a bunch of dumbasses like their saying buying puppy and crap like tat.+ if u play ms too ling the printings on ur keyboard might com off and ya
TRICKSTER PWNS U!
