you know how when the mentally ill will tell you about homestuck and how "it gets good after 1000 pages"? ok thats Maplestory. you literally spend 1000 hours in the early game grinding out 40 characters for the Legion system and then you can actually start playing the character you want, just pray its not a character who is always below average or Beast Tamer, you'll never have fun. the timegates are so huge you're better off spending that time playing something else because you'll be doing ALOT of just waiting around in order to progress, and all of that is BEFORE the endless grind. peak Kusoge.
