[COLOR="#0000FF"]*Sigh* RIP Dfo 2013~ 
Now that was a game..
Maplestory was pretty, had nice music and.. yea, but Dfo basically had that + beating people up real time + no money sink to get strong. You could buy some good avatar sets that gave additional stats with real money, but for one you could also buy them in auction house (expensive), or you could buy cheaper ones that make you look nice which will make you feel good at the same time (those also give stats too), then just upgrade your weapon and armor normally like everyone can. It's not like killing monsters by looking in their general direction is all that in a beat em' up anyway. If you played for long enough, you could make enough to try and get some of the rare avatars with in game money.
Basically, playing dfo felt rewarding basically in every level range because damage was pretty accessible, and even if you were weak, combo'ing baddies with multiple weak hits isn't boring either. If you're hilariously weak (hao), parties are there for you. I feel like the only thing that kept me on maple were the nostalgic graphics and music. Starting a new pirate/cygnus knight and hearing that music again never gets old.
