Two Weeks of Experience Playing @MaplestoryU

Currently, almost no one has written any tutorials on how to invest and break even,

which makes it hard for beginners to get started.

With no one to guide or teach, naturally, there isn't much new blood joining.

The MapleStory IP already has too many versions,

each country has its own servers, and now there are even nostalgic servers.

If you just want to play this IP, players have too many choices.

The only advantage of the blockchain version is

"it can be traded" and "there may be profit-making models."

But in terms of gameplay, N is similar to other versions, and may even be slightly inferior. In terms of social aspects, most players are Asian, but they can only speak English, which greatly diminishes the original strong social advantage of MapleStory.

As for making money, there hasn't been a flywheel effect formed yet.

Some people might spend 500U, and if they're lucky enough to get a gold badge, they might break even.

However, this also highlights a problem:

The investment and return in this game cannot be calculated with a formula; everything depends on luck.

Investing more doesn't necessarily mean you'll earn more; the risks are actually higher.

Therefore, "small investment, low risk, relying on luck for returns"

is currently the most rational approach.

In conclusion: The current MapleStory N, whether in terms of profitability,

gameplay, or social aspects, has not formed a clear advantage.

Given the current mechanics, it is difficult to attract large capital into the game.
