Maple Story Basic terms
Welcome on Maple Mesos – Blog! Today I would like to add short list of basic terms, used in Maple Story.
Mapling – It’s the games way of talking about your adventuring. Mapling mean “playing in Maple Story” – you can travel, farm Maple Mesos or doing quests – it’s all Mapling ;-)
* CC – It’s short therm – Change Channel. If you ask someone to CC, don’t worry. If someone asks you to CC, they want you to change the channel you’re using so that they can continue training in peace, or for whatever reason they have in mind. Well, if someone is nice, you can CC.
* KS – Kill Stealing. It’s when someone in Maple Story of a higher level comes by where lower level characters are training and kills your opponents. It happens, so you can politely ask them to stop, or ask them to change channel, again do so politely.
* Mush – Another short term, this one is from word – Mushroom. In Maple Story, there are lots of mushroom enemies, and varieties of them. Well, if you like mushrooms, after Maple Story, you will hate them probably ;-). I wonder who is responsible for these at Nexon?! You can meet green mushroom, blue, orange, horned, yellow etc. Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms and mushrooms + thousands of mushrooms. Whatever…
Well, I must admit Mush is shorter word then Mushroom. Ok who want to mush in Maple?
* Pots – It’s short form for potions. In Maple Story Potions are, in a sense, a life blood for your character. Like in other MMORPG, you need them to help out your character during tough fights or during normal game. Pots in Maple Story, are extremely important, because if you die – you will lose 10 % of your experience and on higher level it’s.
* NX Cash – Well in Maple Story there are mesos (normal maple money) and special NX Cash. You can use it to buy special items you can’t get otherwise. They made up this money, because you can only get them, by paying them normal cash. Yeah – dollars or pounds. Anyway you can get that way, very cool Maple items. When you don’t have Maple Mesos, you can always get some NX Cash for real money.
* NPC – It’s short term from Non-Player Character, so all the characters in the towns that just stand around or move a few feet. You need them for quests – talking to NPC at the right time is how you start quest and stuff like that. In all MMORPG NPC can give you, quests, rewards like Maple Mesos or you need to speak with them while doing business on Auction House. What else about these NPC in Maple Story…Well, they have limited action and you don’t need to talk to them, if you don’t need quest, or if you are not ready for one.
One more thing – I suggest to DO NOT BEG FOR THINGS! Some players will kill in a sec, because it’s really frustrating when someone is begging you. Remember, when you die, you are looking 10% of your experience so begging is really dangerous. Don’t beg for Maple Mesos or items, it’s really pointless…
