Online Role Play Games

Across the world, 217 million people regularly play online games.



Two such games are Combat Arms, a first person shooter, and Maple Story, a colorful anime styled game in which the objective is to slay monsters and raise your character's skills.



These two games in particular are popular among users both because they are free, and also because players who are so inclined can use hacks and cheats to get ahead in their respective online worlds.



Maple Story boats a friendly, laid back feel to it's online world, with players free to take their time and complete quests at their own pace, making it ideal for both inexperienced and long time gamers. The killing of monsters in Maple Story is appropriate for younger players as there is no great element of "blood and guts" anywhere in the anime based gaming style.



Combat arms however is for slightly more mature gamers and attracts a lot of players from similar first person shooters with a multiplayer online option such as Counter-Strike, Halo, or Call of Duty. It is a fast paced environment with a kill or be killed style firmly implemented.



Like all online games designed so that players can buy, sell and trade items, both online realms boast their own virtual economies.



Maple Story uses "Mesos" as their currency, although additional currency known as "NX Cash" can also be purchased by players if they so desire in order to buy more exclusive items, including in game pets.



Combat Arms has a slightly different system, with its players earning Gear Points, or "GP", when they complete certain objectives. Here, currency is spent on new weapons and accessories that make your character more powerful - this is considered vital here because unlike Maple Story, Combat Arms is a fiercely competitive game. However, like Maple Story there is also the option of purchasing an additional form of currency known as "Nexon Cash" which can be spent on the black market to purchase exclusive equipment.



Naturally, as happens with all popular games where users are in some form of competition, be it for prizes or online notoriety, players constantly look for ways to get ahead.



Maple Story hacks are used by players who don't want to spend long amounts of time improving their character, want access to all the in game content fast or who want large amounts of money, or "Mesos", to customize themselves and get a pet. (The pets are a very popular feature of Maple Story and include normal animals such as cats and dogs, as well as unusual animals like pandas, pigs and monkies.)



Combat Arms hacks are more often used by serious gamers who want the best possible advantage over their enemies, which can only by had by wearing the best gear and wielding the most powerful weapon. There are also Combat Arms hacks that allow the player to get instant headshots when a player is within range, or to see through walls.



Although cheats and hacks are often frowned upon they will always remain popular because they give regular gamers the chance to get ahead without investing real world money or countless hours.
