Clerics are cool!
 | About MelindraHi everyone. My name is Melindra and this is my Maplestory diary. I play as a Cleric (normal Luk) in Bellocan, Maplestory Global. I have been playing for many years but just as a casual player and I started this diary so I would be able to set goals for myself to give me more reasons to have fun in MS. On the left you can see my character's (LadyWysteria) ranking. |
What is Maplestory?
Alright, since this is the first page of my diary I guess I will have to explain what Maplestory is for those who don't know.
Maplestory of MS is an online multiplayer role-playing game that is free to play. This type of game is called an MMORPG. I'm not going to go into a lot of technical details but its basically the same kind of game as World of Warcraft, Runescape, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Everquest, Ultima Online and Age of Conan.
MS is a magical fantasy side-scrolling game. Side-scrolling means that the maps are two-dimensional and that the characters jump up and down like in Super Mario Bros.
Melindra's Diary
Today I logged in for the first time in six months. The game is still the same but I did have to download a new game client because mine was way outdated. It took ages!
I noticed that Clerics are not too common nowadays. It used to be that there would be clerics and priests everywhere but not anymore which is a bit sad for me.
Again, like the old days I still have problems with my character because it is not Lukless. I know that "the best" characters have no Luk but this would involve a lot of scrolling to get good Lukless equips which I simply don't have the time and energy to do.
It is a bit annoying when people bug me about this but I have learned to live with it.
What is more alarming is that I don't know where to train. The old training spots are still there but it seems that spell damage for priests has been hugely nerfed. Before I quit I would hit quite nicely but nowadays my spells fail very often.
Yikes! Still looking for a solution to this.
Current Goals
Right now I need to find a good group to level up with but I have had no luck so far. I did have some Maplestory friends but we lost touch when I quit last year. Now I am back and need some people to play with. It would be nice if they were roughly the same level as me.

What are the Important Traits of Good Browser MMORPGs?
It cannot be denied that there is no shortage of available titles in the
video game genre of browser MMORPGs. The good part is that most of
these massively multiplayer online role-playing games are free to play.
However, going through them is not an easy task, and it is even more
difficult to decide which MMORPGs are worth playing and which ones are
not.
Determining if a browser massively multiplayer online RPG game is
actually good right away is never possible, which is quite a problem.
Game developers often take time to become proficient at creating the
levels of these games. So, the first few levels of multiplayer online
RPG games are not as impressive as the build of the endgame. Therefore,
when it comes to figuring out if a browser MMORPG is actually worth it,
gamers should start by looking for certain traits. Click here to find some great browser MMORPGs.
Browser MMORPGs sites should offer some sort of new player assistance
Gamers who are new to playing MMORPGs often find themselves a bit
confused as to how they should proceed and start playing. So, even a
simple tutorial can make it easier for them to get started. It does not
matter whether the tutorial is in interactive, in the form of a
presentation or is text-based, as along as it is available and it is
helpful.
Good browser MMORPGs sites always provide a tutorial for new gamers,
which guides them what they need to do to get started. This way, gamers
do not get confused and frustrated when they first arrive at a MMORPG
site. Even a helpful introductory guide should be good enough to
instruct new gamers what to do and playing on MMORPG sites that do offer
a guide or a tutorial is more enjoyable.
Browser MMORPGs sites should be user friendly
No doubt, getting used to a new MMORPG site can take a bit of time, but
as long as the MMORPG site is user friendly; gamers will find it much
easier to get started. One way of finding out if the MMORPG is user
friendly is by checking what kind of options are offered by the game, by
searching the navigation menu. Often the navigation menu does not show
the complete features that the MMORPG is offering right away.
Browser MMORPGs sites should have a friendly community
The community of an MMORPG site is one of the major aspects that make
these games successful. In fact, the gaming community is one of the most
enjoyable aspects of playing MMORPGs. So as long as other players are
there in the community, and those players seem to be quite friendly,
gamers will have a lot of fun playing on such a MMORPG site. The game
will prove to be more captivating and interactive this way. Gamers can
even invite their friends to join in.
Certainly, the graphics and the storyline of an MMORPG are indeed some
of the factors that make these games worth playing. However, any browser
MMORPG site that meets these basic requirements is definitely worth
trying.
