MapleStory
MapleStory is a free-to-play, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG that offers fun adventures across a vibrant and massive world along with adorable "chibi" characters and creatures. There are plenty of character jobs and factions that you can choose from before setting off into the world to complete quests, grind mobs and battle challenging bosses. Upgrade your characters often by increasing their equipments, skills, abilities and stats. Fancy adventuring in a cool outfit with a cute pet and mount by your side? Well, you can get these in the game shop too.MapleStory used to be incredibly popular because it was the first few free-to-play MMOs of its time, but now, it is still popular mainly because of the timeless classic that it is. Better yet, even after more than a decade since its release, the game and its community is still going strong. MMO players, especially ones who are skeptical of 2D MMOs, should definitely give this game a try.
