Maplestory: Thief Edition

You start of as a you so in the online game
Lets just get this out of the way, games with multiple controls never work well with a touch interface, that said a small screen also doesn’t help.
Now that that’s out of the way lets have a look at Nexon’s offering to the iphone/ipad Maplestory: Thief Edition, well first off we can assume this will be more of these coming out (if this one does well) one can only assume that there will be an Edition for all the classes, or the 4 main ones.
So whats good and whats bad, well yes the jump and attack button are next to each other and i often find myself jumping at monsters, and the controls are quite clunky but what do you expect from a IPhone/Pad game – also as you could understand this game is quite intense on your iphones system so don’t expect to get hours out of it, and with no online or blue tooth connectivity its more of a standalone app. but putting all that stuff behind us, i have played it for a few hours now and its quite enjoyable, they game keeps it simple enough for some one that has never played before to be able to pick it up and go – but has features like scrolls to enchant your equips and is customizable enough to keep the most veteran of maplers happy with what they payed for.
So at 5.99 AUD 5 USD it seems like alot, its more then you will pay for alot of the other apps, but frankly i have played this game for about 2 hours now and im not that far in, compared to say toy robot series that are like 30 min each and 3 or so games, for $2 each i think its a good deal.
So why don’t you try it out!

Hey guys been a while since i talked to you, a real heart to heart – I’ve been reading a lot of my old posts and it got me reminiscing. One idea that i have always wanted to get off the ground was a news site for maple story. not like that crap Maple-news posts, real news with writers that are smart and passionate maple news was a great idea when it first went up, apart from savage’s strange affinity to My Chemical Romance, i was contracted to make videos for MNN to build up hype for the site, they started off strong but it seems that there writers do sloppy research and there articles could put my mother to sleep.
So Josh! you might say lets see you do better, wheres your maple news site. and i would reply – i cant find good writers, and i don’t want to be doing all the articles. so then came my idea to make maple story podcasts, some say this was doomed from the start, why? well if you cant find anyone to wright for you why would they talk? well sadly that fell though as well, i remember talking to spadow about it and asking if he would come on, his reply was “i don’t like podcasts” well that was crap. Although there is a small niche group that enjoy reading my blog that number is small compared to the amount that get drawn in by the latest news sites. 
Take the picture to the left, the Alexa rankings for spadow’s and savages site. both dwarfing mine. what i find interesting is that spadow’s site is falling since he started talking about things other then maple. will this be his downfall?. i say no, his site does not have a large regular reader base. let me break down his site trends.
1. KMS has a new patch
2. Insonya/mazefind/spadow posts about it
3. filters down though to southperry/sleepywood/basil and ellinforest
4. wave effect takes place, with small amount of hits from people that are eager to view then a few hours/day later the the wave comes in and the rush of hits come.
wait a few months and it happens again…I think i have lost my train of thought, so i will end up here with the following..
1. How many of you think the maple news articles are crap
2. How many of you would like to read/listen to a maple story news site/podcast
So guys take it easy i’ll see you in a few days, think i will make a video, and i also need to update the equips page on the site.
