LINE Play vs MapleStory
LINE Play
LINE Play is a free to play, social virtual world game developed by the LINE Corp, the company behind the insanely-popular (mainly in the Asian regions) chat messaging app, LINE. Like other virtual world games, LINE Play allows you to interact with other players through the use of incredibly adorable characters which you can also customize and dress up to your liking. Players usually hang out in various lounges or virtual homes that they themselves decorate - you'll even get a virtual home to call your own too!Similar to its messaging app, LINE Play features a ton of entertaining and crazily-addictive casual games for you to enjoy. Rewards that you get from winning in these games will then be added to your personal collection.
In short, LINE Play builds on the success of LINE in many obvious ways, but ultimately, this game is a lot more fun to use mainly because it's actually a game and not just a chat app.
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.
