Storyline sh'it.

Will they be good dudes or bad dudes? YOU BE THE JUDGE!

Black Magician is the hero. You're the villain.

Black Magician is the hero. You're the villain.

You think you've been fighting Black Magician's forces for the past 5 years, but turns out he was only making friends with the wildlife and you've been cruelly murdering them en masse.

Pretty obvious they'll be the good guys.

Good guys because of the name Resistance. Rebelling against the Black Wizardman that's now controlling their hometown.

More like the Black Wings, who support the Black Mage.

The first 30 levels you are part of the black wings then you become good.

They are good guys because they protect the good black mage and are RESISTING the evil explorers who is trying to kill black mage and his buddies

The Maple Goddess is the supreme villain in MapleStory. The Black Mage was manipulated by her and everyone is lead to believe that he is the one responsible for all of the bad things that happen in the Maple World. The group known as Resistance has discovered the truth about The Maple Goddess and are attempting to turn everyone in the Maple World against The Maple Goddess.

Shammos: No Grendel, you are the demons.

I think it's more on the lines of: The black magician's minions & followers alike have set up a base camp in a city thats run by corruption and a sort of communism environment. You, the resistee, have to earn your freedom by doing tasks for the Blackwings in the name of a supposed justice.

Only to find out in the end that your efforts have harmed so many rather than help them, you force yourself to turn on those who had been using you this whole time.

In english: The black wings use you like they did Evan, you find out the truth and you eventualy turn against them.

Black Wings used Evan? :O never played past level 30, cool.

This is maplestoy. If you have the option of playing them then they're so good that they've got rainbows shooting out of their asses and kittens jammed into their armpits.

Francis and the Giant use Evan as a pawn to kill, which apparently was an easy task due to Evan and Mir's naivety.
At around Lv70 or 80, Evan meets Mir's parent and realizes that he's being used. The quest line is called Denial of Truth, Anger, and Death or something.
I would assume their link with the Black Wings, and ultimately the Black Mage, is why they can use spells like Dark Fog.

Not sure if they edited that in the GMS version to be more sunshiny.

I -think- there was a quest that ties Evan and Aran, but I never played my Evan enough to see that.

They are good guys because they protect the good black mage and are RESISTING the evil explorers who is trying to kill black mage and his buddies

My thoughts exactly
