It may have been a long time, but Nexon's MapleStory M has finally arrived. For those who don't know, this is a mobile explanation of the mainline PC MMORPG. In the past, we received some different versions of MapleStory mobile on Android, but they never completely overlapped with the original PC version and were subsequently closed. MapleStory M should wipe the mobile tablet by providing something more familiar to long-term fans.

For beginners, this is a slightly more demanding game, although its appearance is simple and clear. When there was a public test, I spent some time playing it back, and it seems that its requirements haven't changed in the past six months. You will need Android 4.4 or higher devices, dual core CPU and 1.5GB RAM. Once installed it only requires 214MB of storage, but there may be more downloads than I am in the game, so it may increase.

The gameplay is not your memory of the classic MapleStory, so if you are an older player, please have some free pranks. Now, it's not as famous as MapleStory for fair monetization. Of course, for the mobile version, this won't change. So, yes, you can expect an automated mission system and an automated combat system (unlocked at level 20), and you'd better believe that the in-app purchase range is as high as $89.99 per piece or you can also purchase it with Maplestory M Mesos. After all, this is a Nexon title, so I am looking forward to it.

Depending on how you view the mobile MMO, the automated task system may be negative or positive. The task is as simple as tapping the screen, so your character will continue to wear it endlessly. This may be a good thing for those who hate to waste time grinding, but when things move fast, it's also a cheap trick to indulge in active game loops.

Currently, the server is not online yet, but an official MapleStory M Facebook page has an article stating that they should be completed by 7:24 pm EST. So it seems that there is still an hour to wait until you really play. At least you can pre-install the client in the next hour to make sure you are ready.

What's interesting if you ask me is that although some people think this is the negative complement towards the classic naughty gameplay, I still would like to jump into MapleStory M. Maybe accusation in court the topic I miss, or it may be the earliest MMORPG on cellular phones. One of them makes me think I am playing on a PC. Of course, the recent Old School Runescape beta is often a better nostalgic trip because of subscription fees without IAP, but something about MapleStory's cute 2D graphics makes me return more, even though it has obvious about Maplestory Mobile Mesos and money problems.
