I oversaw some talk in the Gamefaqs message boards for Gunbound about a new online game named Maple Story, so I decided to check it out.
--Here's the overall gist of it that I've gotten from playing and seeing what others have found out:
------ It's a MMORPG, with the closest comparison probably being Ragnarok Online.
------ It's a sidescrolling MMORPG.
------ There are lots of plants in it.
------ There's supposedly many references to Australia hidden in it.
------ Lag shows up every so often, and there are occasional glitches, but the game is still in beta, so I'm willing to forgive that for now.
------ The game is apparently going to follow the pricing strategy of Gunbound, with the game permanently being free, but with special avatar items and services, like tanning and hair salon access, available through payment.
I've been playing for several days now, and have a level 15 warrior as my main character in it.
Oh yeah, I better put the URL for the game now, right? You can find it here. (http://www.mapleglobal.com)
