Basic Terms for Maple Story
Welcome friends on Lineage Adena! Today my third part of small guide to great MMORPG, Maple Story. This one is not related to Maple Mesos or Maple Mesos Guide – 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 mesos or doing quests – it’s all Mapling ;-)
CC – or in other words – Change Channel. If you ask someone to CC, do not be rude about it. Like most other things that are annoying or pointless, it tends to not end well and they won’t listen to you. 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.
NPC – Non-Player Character, so all the characters in the towns that just stand around or move a few feet. Yeah, you need them for quests – talking to NPC at the right time is how you start quest and stuff like that. 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.
KS – Kill Stealing. Lol my favorite term (just kidding)… 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. Well, you shouldn’t worry about it, if some do that, it’s frustrating, but you know…sh.t happens sometimes…
NX Cash – This money are special type of cash, created by Nexon (NX). 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 money. 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.
Pots – It’s short form for potions. 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 REALLY, REALLY ANOYING AND FRUSTRATING! Sry for caps…
Mush – Another short term, this one is from word – Mushroom. Well in Maple Story, there are lots of mushroom enemies, and many varieties of them. It’s sick and weird, but you can meet green mushroom, blue, orange, horned etc. It’s really annoying when you must fight with another mushroom, after you kill XXXXX mushroom. Well, I must say Mush is shorter word then Mushroom…;-)
PS I suggest also to DO NOT BEG FOR THINGS! Some players will kill in a sec, because it’s really frustrating when someone is beging you. You can ASK – only once, but begging constantly is like begging for quick death. You should remember that :-)
