Okay, a few things.
I want everyone to understand the fact that Maplestory is merely a huge chat client (think of IRC) but with a minigame.
Maplestory is a not a very good game, if you were to look at a purely gaming level. This game requires no skill unlike many shooting games, and most of the boss runs require little organization. I could complain about the many aspects of the game that makes it a horrible game but I'd be wasting my time. If you play this game for the thrill of gaming, I suggest that you quit and play a hardcore game.
I believe that Maplestory is just a chat client that has a minigame that I can play together with my friends. I haven't used MSN for a long time, but think of it like the MSN games. You can chat with a friend while playing the game in the background. Maplestory seems to be the same thing, just on a much larger scale. If you can play Maplestory with the notion that it's just a large chatting program, you shouldn't have any problems having fun. Stop thinking of Maple as a game. It's not that great of a game. If you want to compete with other go play WoW or Counterstrike or something. If you just want to show off your damage go play a Private Server. If you just want to chat and have some fun, come back and play Maple.
Maplestory is a place to socialize. It's a pretty Facebook. It's probably the funnest socializing tool out there. But that's it. It's merely a socializing tool.
Oh, and by the way, I smoke my BBQ.
