are there other games like maplestory?

[SomeMMORPGplayer]

dont get me wrong, i love maplestory. been an awesome game but... its not what it used to be . and its boring to play with bots and peopel with social anxiety. also its a money sink game. like nexon is doing its very best to stay aflow by ripping off its player base

so yeah, im really curious to know if there are other games in the 10% more or less asame style as maple story

If the game being a "money sink" is your biggest concern play reboot. Progression is gated by in game currency instead of $$.

As for playing with "bots and people with social anxiety" it sounds like you aren't even at a point in the game where playing with others is beneficial to you so no one bothers communicating.

I suggest joining a progression guild and start looking for struggle parties for bosses that you have access to and can't solo yet.

As for games that are like maplestory? There really isn't anything like it. You could give DFO a try it's another Korean based MMO.

You'll see a lot of grouping up and talking once you hit Lucid/Will and anything after those two bosses. You also see a lot more grouping content at 260+ since Monster Park Extreme is unlocked.

I'm not sure what server you're in or what kind of guilds you have applied to but most guilds are pretty lax in terms of letting new players join them especially when burning events roll around like right now. Unless you're applying to strict end game guilds then you shouldn't really have trouble getting into one.

I suggest taking advantage of the current burn event to get to the point in the game where you're doing LuWill and maybe find a guild that can teach you Will mechanics or maybe even a permanent bossing party that's at the same point in progression you are in.

If all else fails you can always stop by the reboot central discord if you're in reboot to ask for some bossing friends or look at guilds that are recruiting. If not on reboot I'm sure they have a regular server version of the discord server that you can refer to

im on reborn , im regretting the move too xD lots of wasted gears that i could have sent to my other chars xD

[Eshman]

On Reboot there aren't any wasted gears since you can sell anything unusable to npc characters for mesos (the in-game currency) which further funds progression. On Regular/Non-Reboot that could be considered wasted gear but then you end up ocd'ing over every piece of loot instead of just progressing (if that's your focus). In the end I say just level/grind, build legion, stack boosts/stats & have fun Mapling. If you want to socialize then others have mentioned how to go about it but tbh I'm no good with drama.

In all honesty there's nothing quite like MapleStory (in my opinion, thus why folks keep returning even after a hiatus) but there have been similar styled/type games which you can surely go search and find for yourself. Plus MapleStory is consistently updated and maintained when many others simply are not or do not appear to have added any new content/job classes in years if not decades.
