The maplestory mesos is quite overpopulated. Though that means that you can always find a party, you will end up wishing that the place was deserted. There are a lot of hackers and botters who will take up full maps. The maps that aren't taken up by botters are usually occupied. Though there are multiple channels in each server, the best training spots are usually filled. When you are lucky enough to find a good, empty training spot, milk it for all it's worth. Chances are someone stronger will come around within an hour and KS you until you leave. Occasionally, people will be willing to party with you or share the map.On top of the training issues, the market is quite screwed up. The Free Market is either deserted or filled to the brim. In the more popular channels, it is hard to even see what people are trying to sell. To make it worse, once you find someone selling the product you are looking for, it is often impossible to find someone and make a trade. The Free Market is also filled with spammers and meso sellers.To top it off, most of the users who hang around the starting towns are quite rude. I remember having to ask ten different users how to find Athena Pierce when I first started out. Although it varies by server, it doesn't get much better.
