MapleStory Adventures

So one of Facebook's newest games is a modified version of the MMO game MapleStory.

They've removed a lot of the MMO portion of the game to better suit traditional Facebook game elements.

If you've ever played the regular MapleStory you'll notice that it doesn't look all that different. Movement on the regular game was done with the arrow keys, but here you just click wherever you want to go. I don't remember how many classes are in the original, but so far this beta allows 2: Warrior and Wizard. As you can see I went with Wizard. There's no chatting with friends here. Much like all FB games, the friends on this version are based on who you have on your actual friends list...which is something I'm not a fan of. I only have one actual active friend on this right now(despite what you see there). If you want to advance, you need to befriend strangers just for the sole purpose of being useful to the game. Yeah I know you can block your profile from them, but it's a hassle to do just for a game haha. Or at least that's what I think. So anyway, there's a bunch of quests that you can do in the game(of which all basically involve doing the same thing in different places). Those quests are added to the left side of the screen. Monsters drop items you will need and such. Not sure what else to say about the game 'cause I just happened to have blanked out so I guess I'll end it here. It's a good way to kill time just like most other FB games. Oh yeah, the level grinding can be pretty boring even if you "hire" your friends to help you attack. A few days ago I had given up on this game because the glitches were getting on my nerves, but I'm giving it another shot since they've updated the game and took care of most glitches I would run into. We'll see how it goes down the line.
