MapleStory Adventures

Have been playing Maple Story Adventures (MSA) on fb recently and found it quite fun. However, character control in MSA is wholly through usage of mouse only, which makes me wonder why they didn't make MSA to be played with keyboard instead; I think should be quite possible and probably more fun :P 

What I like about MSA is that:

1) It doesn't lag. Most other games on fb tend to lag especially as you gain more levels and expand your restaurant/cafe/city etc which leads to longer loading times.

2) Your character can finally wear cash-shop equips w/o spending A-Cash! Obviously the number of cash-shop equips that are purchasable with in-game currency is very limited, but at least they still bother to cater to cheapskate people (like me) who will never spend a single cent on online games :P Plus you can also attain more non-standard equips through completing quests or trading in collections or even through treasure boxes although the last option is the hardest as the "randomness" is rigged. On the surface it looks like it has a 1 in 5 chance of landing you the equip but in reality it's far from that :s 

3) Although the max energy is pretty limited at 100+ depending on your level, the regeneration rate is 1 energy per min which I think is considered quite okay as it means you can come back to your game every 2 hours and it'll be full again. 

4) You can even enchant your equips with an enchant scroll to give them abilities at no risk, although there is a chance to fail but at least it doesn't destroy your equip or something. 

5) There is nothing compelling you to tend to your game at a certain time just to prevent what you are concocting in the cauldron from spoiling as with most fb games (e.g in cafe world you have to collect the food you've cooked within a certain time limit if not the food will go bad). 
In MSA, it doesn't matter what time you collect your item, even if you collect it one year later it doesn't go bad or what :P 

As for the cons of MSA, it's the same as with ALL fb games, i.e having to "beg" your friends to help you with quests which you'd otherwise be unable to complete on your own, and getting them to send you skill permits in order to level up your skills -_- What's worse is I think MSA is sort of buggy right now and even though your friends send you stuff and you accept it, it might not appear in your inventory :( 

What I hope will be implemented in future: 

- The usual 10/30/60/70% scrolls to strengthen wpns and equips with atk. 

- Being able to gift friends with wpns or equips that you find while killing monsters. 

- Maybe a free market system where you can set up a shop and sell your old equips or even collection items to other players, that'll be great :D 

That's about it for now. Obviously MSA lacks the vast amount of content available in the actual MS plus you can't really "utilise" your skills since it's all just about clicking, but somehow I find it more enjoyable (for now). I think it's probably cos it's less tedious as you can just click many monsters at one go, then change tab and go surf net or something then come back later to collect drops and rinse and repeat so it doesn't really take up much time and doesn't feel as boring.
