Hello!

I’m Nexon Picker 피스타임.

To me, RPGs are basically a marathon online.

You start at level 1 and keep going until you reach the top,

picking up all sorts of experiences along the way, with the goal of finally crossing the finish line.

4x Faster Growth!

Maple Planet

Recently, I started playing MapleStory Worlds’ new world,

Maple Planet.

It recreates old-school Maple from before the Big Bang,

and the 4x faster progression makes it an especially fun server to play on.

I had a great time with MapleLand before as well, but

the leveling process was honestly too painful,

and potion costs were such a burden that grinding was hard,

whereas here, the drop rate is high enough that self-sufficiency feels very doable.

I kept hearing that Ice/Lightning Mage was the best for grinding,

but I went Fire/Poison Mage because that’s what I liked.

When I was a kid,

I have no idea why Fire Arrow looked so unbelievably cool to me.

Now that I’ve actually used it, though... it really is cool.

In just one week, I even finished my third job advancement while writing a guide.

Back when I used to play MapleStory,

I remember quitting after getting stuck in Eos Tower at level 40,

but now that I’m older and playing at 4x speed, I’m enjoying it in a completely different way.

I even took down a giant robot that made me think, “Wait, did I really remember this being in the game?”

And with the 100 million mesos I worked hard to save up,

I gave my character a full set of sharp-looking clothes from the auction house.

Just like a marathon, actually running more than 40 km isn’t easy.

But Maple Planet compresses that whole process into something much more comfortable,

which makes it feel like the perfect game to enjoy in a short, intense burst.

Of all the games I’ve played this year, this is the one I’ve been enjoying the most.
