Saint Wrote:MapleSEA got Thailand sometime around 2007/2008 if I remember correctly.
It was first released as this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4clW2zmA9MU
Big and bad training maps, but it was interesting at the first sight.
Years later, they upgraded Thailand to a better version with better training maps and better graphics.
Quest-wise, not that bad. But there's one quest that gives you a decent shoe.. (I think stats +1 to STR DEX INT and LUK) and that quest requires you to visit Orbis and hunt for drop loots from the monsters.
Training-wise... There are way better maps out there despite the upgrade.
Some of the maps still have mixture of monsters of different levels.
And no, you can't swim in the shallow rivers.
Other than that, Thailand has access to Free Market. So if you happen to be in places like Ellinia.. or any other places that does not have Free Market but have Spinel (World Tour NPC), you can travel to Thailand to visit the Free Market. Simple and convenient.
Apart from that, the potions available here are cheaper than other places.
Lastly.. the only NPC that I remembered it clearly is..
lol.
Basically, I guess it's a little too late when it's released. Almost nobody trains in Thailand. The only things that seem useful to me is the Free Market access and cheaper potions.
In a nutshell for both areas..
What I hate about World Tour Areas is that they doesn't seem to integrate well with the rest of the maps in Maple. IDK how to say but I hate the way Nexon creates all these maps. I like them, but I just feel all world tour areas still needs improvement on it.
For an instance, in MSEA, whenever there's events that require loot drops from monsters, usually.. they do NOT drop from monsters in world tour areas.
This annoyed me badly.
I really hope Nexon will improve all these world tour areas and not removing them because they are all nice maps and I find them to have the potential to integrate well with the Maple World.
1) Take a taxi to perion. Simple, convenient, and easier than going through spinel.
2) NLC pots > all. No one likes cheaper potions if the potions are still inferior.
