There is something truly magical about role-playing; one can slip into a completely different world from one's own, a world that has infinite scope, limited only by one's imagination. With the evolution of the internet, the benefits of advanced technology, and the fascination with role-playing have been smoothly integrated to create a wide platform for players across time zones to come together and play, with a whole bunch of like-minded strangers, freeing themselves of the shackles of stress, pressure, judgmental eyes of acquaintances, racism, and so many such real-life issues. As time passed, table-top role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons started being overshadowed by massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs), like World of Warcraft, that has now grown to a strength of over 100 million accounts opened worldwide since its inception in 2004. MMORPGs were developed along various themes, such as fantasy, history, science fiction, horror, and many other such exciting domains. In general, online role-playing games are classified according to their graphics format (2D or 3D), subscription model (some are free-to-play, others are charged, and the charges are also levied in different ways for different games), and whether they are browser-based or need to be downloaded/bought in CD form. While most of the popular games available today have stringent requirements like a minimum memory, a good graphics and sound card, and speedy internet connectivity, the category of 2D games do not pose as many restrictions. They can be played by people in any part of the world, even in places where the telecommunication infrastructure is still nascent. Nowadays, one need not worry about the quality of graphics and visual effects being compromised in a 2D game, because developers are looking into optimizing these parameters with great detail. Apart from the game-play advantage of being able to formulate strategies better, since one has a convenient view of the entire field, rather than a point-of-view perspective of the field as happens with 3D games, 2D side-scrolling games also appeal to users because they remind them of those MS DOS-based games that everyone used to play in the mid-90s. If you are one of the many, many people around the world, who are addicted to the hugely popular, 2D, side-scrolling, multiplayer online role-playing game, MapleStory, we completely understand your grounds, and we are also here to provide you exciting alternatives, for when you want some variety.
