Title: I'm only posting because I was promised a win
Story: I actually met @siune on royals during Thanksgiving 2 years ago. She thought it was romantic or whatever and it completely was. I was in love with DokiDoki. We did a lot of stupid ass shit together like training at Wolf Spiders @ lvl 75 (she was a hermit btw) but as time went on, she started to make other characters and she quit DokiDoki. As we near 2 years of knowing each other, shes whatevers to me now. What I'm thankful for is getting a chance to know what true love was, but in the end, it was just a fleeting memory.

P.S. I have those super annoying heart stars that DokiDoki used to throw. She entrusted them to me, but I can't use them because of how annoying they are. It's the only memory I have of her. A very annoying memory.

Story:
Ok you guys have got me all in my feelings now so know that you brought this corniness upon yourselves. I just really wanna thank @Gurps (aka Corsairs/Shadowless) and @StrickBan(aka Maia) for always being there for me.

Spoiler: Through failed marriages,

(@Dylanducki you know ily but our wedding was more shotgun than Britney's in Vegas)

Spoiler: And failed GPQs,

Spoiler: And how did we even manage to fail Hene PQ???

I honestly couldn't imagine Royals without you two. Without Gurps senpai, my sair wouldn't even know how to sair! And without Rigo, my sair probably wouldn't even be a sair. (Always down for more free leech bb <3 ) We've had so many fun firsts together,

Spoiler: First BF!

Spoiler: First Anego!

Spoiler: First Zak!

Spoiler: First GPQ!

Spoiler: First Christmas!

I'm just so happy that this server brought us together. In-game or irl, I know we're genuine buds for life!

Story: We are a family

This is a magical land, Also very cold, full of snow, yetis and were-wolves. On the top of the snowy mountain, there is a deep cave filled with hot lava and big horrible dogs. But this is not all, very deep inside there is a evil boss called Zakum. Sounds like a pretty harsh place to live in, right? But there used to be a beautiful place full of lovely people, covered by all sorts of flowers. Since Zakum appeared, the whole place turned to cold and evil.

At this horrible land, there is a very small kingdom, ChineseSoul. Oh! Forgot to tell, i'm the litte kingdom's queen CookieCooks, I rule my little kingdom with my lovely daughter, ZsLindasZ. We have a dream to defeat the evil Zakum and make our place nice just like the old times. Even we are very weak, we only have a team of knights that can go with us. But we can't leave our people to suffer from the cold condition anymore. With the land covered by snow, they can't grow any crops, our people are starving, we must kill Zakum to protect them. Even we knew that it will be hard and difficult.

We went in Zakum’s cave with all the knights we have and started our mission. It took a long time, we had been cursed, pushed and jumped on by Zakum’s minions. Just when we almost killed Zakum’s first arm, we all turn to a black and dark area then be sent back to the town, El nath. Our bishop prayed to our guardians for help, suddenly one of our guardians, Rayl appeared in front of us. He used his force to send us all back to Zakum. We killed Zakum’s 4 arms first time, but then we ran out of supplies. The mission had failed but we were proud of what we had done. As our first experience, we knew what we had to do. We went back to our kingdom then trained and trained , making ourselves stronger. We recruited more knights to our aid then set off on our journey to Zakum again. We believe one day we will be strong enough to defeat him and save our people from the evil. To restore the land that we love. We are not just a small kingdom, we are together like a family, hand in hand supporting each other. We will make our dream come true, thank you our brave knights, thank you our helpful guardians. Thank you our lovely people, we believe we will make our royal land better and better!

Title : Fuck Cancer
Story ;

I've fallen into a depression from the loss of one of my best friends. Some might call it mourning, but this feels different than that. I've lost close friends before, (car accident, drunk driver, suicide) and it hadn't quite affected me like this is. So we played Extalia for about a year & a half until it shut down & not in my wildest imagination would I think that we would become friends, especially how close we actually became. We were doing that stupid event that happened every 6 hours & you asked me to add you & some random chick on skype to talk but I was scared of your ass because you were some intimidating black dude which was the complete opposite of what you actually are; you were such a kind-hearted selfless person it is fucking unreal how much you went out of your way to make others around you feel loved. We talked about our medical pasts how fucked up we are & I believe that made us closer as well; you explained that you had cancer in the past & just started having issues again recently with it. Everyone including yourself thought that it was nothing until it started getting serious; feeding tube, catheter, etc. Into not being able to walk, into being in the hospital not being able to even move or speak until a couple months ago you came back & said everything was fine & we were planning on doing so much shit together once you were finally out & well. We were planning on all seeing eachother & hanging out for a week or two & just exploring the world or my house lmao. When I was in my master's program for schooling, everything was just gaming with you & the others, school, sleep, rinse & repeat. There was never a dull day when you were around & everything was the most fun i've ever had in my entire life & I will never forget you. You are the motivation in my life to be the best person I can be while helping others out.


I just don't understand how life can be taken from people who are so young with so much kindness in their hearts. It's been half a year since I even heard your voice & 4 days since you've passed & I just feel this huge empty space where you used to be, I miss you Mechael.

I don't think you made a forum account yet on here because you were like level 5x, so I can't @ you. But I hope the pain that you were enduring finally ended, fuck cancer.

Title: I met this boi and his boyish heart here on Royals.
Story:

Anthony meeting you has been the best thing to have ever happened to me. And I'm thankful this game was there to bring us together because in reality we probably would have walked passed each other without even looking up. And now were this amazing thing in the real world making my "old-school" escape from reality seem so meaningless cause I wanna live in this reality now with you forever and a day a week a month a year a decade a century an eternity a googol, as long as time exists and even on the other side. Bae you make me fucking happy and I never wanna even think about another person again. I love you and in love with everything about you. I wanna scream it from the rooftops and make people feel awkward when they're around us You make me smile even when my mind wants to cry. You make me laugh even when I'm not in the mood. You reminded me of who I once was and I wanna say thank you for helping me find myself. I love you AJR. Lost kitties for lyfe <3

My heart aches without you bubby.
From this girl and her girlish heart. <3

@Pinnecks you'll always be my number 1 CB/BF/Kitty/Lover<3

Title: Bae wanted me to put this story up as well.
Story:

I met this boi and his boyish heart on complete accident here on Royals.

Im going through a terrible time in life atm and I wanted an "oldschool" escape from reality, so I came back to Royals beginning of September. Coinidence enough thats around the same time he started playing Royals ever. I already had a sin, so I went to LPQ and when I fell into channel 1 spamming "Jpq" I saw you sitting there and immedialy ran over and sat infront of you and proceeded to say "OMG TWINNING". I loved our first interaction (even if I thought your character was a girl at first cause of that terrible metro-sexual hair!). Then in just 1 second of us f2ing you were gone, your party had went into the PQ. I didn't see you again. But hours later, ofcourse we were still doing this very shitty pq...I was added into your party! But you didn't say anything to me. You didn't care to talk to any of us. As you've said you were there for the nostaglic of it all for few weeks and then was gonna quit. So you weren't into making friends. But then I was invited into your guild and days went by we'd say Hai Wb in alliance. One day I got on the subject about majors an you were actually talking to me. It was really our first conversation. At the time it was just an ordinary conversation, nothing really too spectacular. You started helping me finish my PQ lvls, by this time you had already out lvled me and became a CB. I was still in my 4xs... We started spending every maple moment we had together. We became the "it" couple to everyone and we weren't even a couple. We were "Gay" for each other . When you convinced me to remake my Sin into a CB, I was down for it as long as you were gonna be there with me through all the shitty lvls again! Didn't take long for me to catch back up to my sin's lvl. But the weeks of us together started meaning something. And I wanted to know more about you. So yes I stalked the hell out of youh...and found nothing >:O So ofcourse I had to fess up and ask for more.

September 17th the day I finally got to see what you looked like. The day I started feeling that feeling of dammit I like him.
After spending almost all day at drakes just grinding cause we're cool like that. We talked about everything! And I finally just asked for a picture and well got your number and a picture all in one not to mention the cleavage shot . Few days later we finally talked on discord ofcourse with literally everyone else from the guild...we were shy and it was cute. We kinda became so involved in each others lives after this texting and talking on the phone every chance we had. When my dog passed away you were there for me. Still are there for me <3

We met October 7th right after comic-con!
The best day of my life I think I can safely say Met sailor moon and you all in one day, fuck yea! Super nervous cause by now I devolped all those feelings I didnt want to have. But you had them too so it made it ok-ish? But when we were onthe phone looking for each other at college and you ran up behind me. I had that feeling like I hear him coming I hear those feet running and my heart skipped a beat as I turned around and you squeezed me so hard. We had that super shakey super awkward hug and immediatly started just walking it off. At the end of this walk obviously we had that terrible first kiss LOL <3 But it got better

Today 79 days in love.
We are literally counting down the days till I come visit for the 3rd time @Pinnecks

 

IGN: Silachan
Title: Close friendship

I thought about this for quite a while, and though there are many people who made an impact on my life while I've been here at Royals, one person in specific has been there for me through a lot in the two years I've known him.

@Michael I'm sure you probably saw this coming, if you didn't I'll be surprised.
From the first time we met, and then with the death of Infinity and the start of Clarity, I thought you were quiet and you were always kinda just in the background for a while .But that doesn't mean you didn't have anything to say.
In fact, once we got to talk more, you had a lot to say. And a lot of the time you said the things no one else would, the things that I needed to hear.
All the in game duos, the hours of us spending time just sitting there in FM Ch6 while talking in party/whispers, it allowed me to get to know you and I learned I had someone I could come to for anything.
I think of myself to be a quiet person, but really I tend to be kind of loud in game and even online over voice calls.
In reality I'm actually pretty introverted and highly anxious.The more anxious I am the louder I get, but the louder I get the more it ramps up my anxiety. It's a cycle.
But you saw through it, you aren't bothered by it. You laugh along with me and you're always by my side one way or another.

I appreciate and value everything you've done. You're my best friend, hell you're like an older brother to me in a lot of ways (even though I'm the one who's actually older.....)
You're that calm voice of reasoning when I've worked myself up into an anxiety attack, when I'm stressed out and have no where else to turn. You've helped pull me out of some really dark places, times where I thought about giving up everything I had worked for both in RL and in game. You never diminish or disregard my fears, you never tell me to suck it up or deal with it. You truly understand me and that's definitely saying something because not even I understand me!

Thank you for never judging me, for always understanding and accepting me despite all of my flaws. I'm a nervous wreck most days, an awkward mess the next. I worry about being too overly clingy, I worry about far too much. Even when you've always told me to stop.
Thank you for always being there for me, and please remember that I'm always here for you too. The day we finally get to meet up will be a hilarious day, but a day well worth the wait.
Thank you for being you.

"What I've found in life so far is that people tend to find others who are like them."

I love you, and you know just how I mean it too. <3

Title : The Stirge Squid Gang (also lips)
Story : 3 AM, Friday, Dan's Room: It's dark, the computer screen is the only source of light in the room.
Dan is sitting in his chair playing MapleRoyals, he's been saving up NX for weeks now and the temptation is unbearable.
"Might as well use it now, get some cash" he mumbled and took a sip of his (now cold) coffee.
He switches to guild chat and slowly types in "yo guys, where is the highest risk/reward gaching spot?"
The answers flow in but one catches Dan's eye.
"drballislife: Kerning LOLOLOL RAWR EXDEE" (may not be completely accurate)
Kerning City it is.
200k NX later Dan has a 2atk pgc, a semi-perfect Craven, 3 Stirge chairs and foam coming out of his mouth.
The next few days whizz by unnoticed.
8 PM, Monday, Tempest guild chat: (again, not completely accurate)
BuccIsShyt: guys I'm gonna do some Sleepywood gacha, anybody wanna come?
ZeroC: Sure I'll come
Milfurion: Hold on guys, I'm coming as well.

BuccIsShyt only needed a BVM, needless to say he got enough cheese to end world hunger.
While BuccIsShyt was crying in the corner, Dan whipped out one of his Stirge chairs.
ZeroC called him a nib but when Dan threw a Stirge chair at him he hungrily picked it up, drooling in the process (ofc Bucc joined in on the fun).
The trio headed to the FM where Bucc asked Dan to buy him a Bald Hat, instead, Dan got him something much, MUCH better
AND SO THE STIRGE SQUID GANG WAS FOUNDED!

Title(optional):You are the apple of my eyes.
Story:
I remember vividly meeting this cute lady at #DseaHT. Her name is Rinka. She was just a stranger to me at that time. Half a month later, I met her again when @Momo invited me to trio zak with them. The whole time in zak, @Momo and her were chatting. I didn’t join in the conversation at all as I wasn’t interested. Few months down the road, @Momo once again invited both of us to a certain HT run. That was when I first noticed her – how cheerful, lovely and cute she is. I initiated a buddy request and she accepted; I was ecstatic. From then on, life in MapleRoyals isn’t the same for me. I used to only like bossing in game. However after meeting her, I began to like talking. We would sit and talk endlessly in FM and topics can be anything ranging from silly discussions to intellectual thoughts. I was comfortable with her. We started doing everything together, from grinding to bossing to joining events; we had an amazing time, lots of fun and laughter. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun with someone else. Even though we have only known each other for a short period of time, she plays a significant role in my life; she is basically a unicorn pooping rainbows in my life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for making my life in MapleRoyals an enjoyable one.
Thank you Rinka and I miss you.

Title: I have fun tonight!

Story:
Due to busy schedule in real life, i rarely play. But tonight I decided to give it a shot. I log in to my islander, and I met a newbie ign Woaw. He is first timer in Royals. We chatted and I explain to him about our islander community, and finally I asked, would you like to join us islanders? And he said yes. OMG! a yes from a first timer in this server! I start off explaining to him our server rules that account sharing is forbidden, and telling him to read the T&C. I also told him about Escargot that he can join when he has hit the top100 islander ranking.

Spoiler

After Woaw went afk, I met another newbie ign despo. I helped him to do Mai's training quest until he reached level 10, and send him off the island.

After that, an alliance mate DumbIsland went online. We have fun and chatted, and stalked newbies. Then we met a newbie ign WashMySins. I dc-ed around 8+times that time. After that, I helped WashMySins with her quest to get her to lvl8 to be a magician.

Spoiler

After that, we proceeds to stalk our alliance mate Chibilander

Spoiler

Enough of all the stalkings by us, finally while we are chatting halfway in Armhest house, our alliance mate Snapplesx stalked us.

Spoiler

It has been so long since the last time I have fun like this, to chat and talk all the way out. Thank you very much @Rokillers @Snapples @Chibi Woaw, despo, WasMysSins. You guys made my night <3 <3 <3

Title(optional): Little did I know...
Story: One day, my guild leader Mellor decided for me and a great friend named JurassicPark who also was a Junior like myself... to have a competition on who can recruit the most randoms . By the end of it we got a nice chunk of people and little did I know... I would fall in love with one of them. It wasn't love at first sight and it took awhile to form. Our relationship is like a diamond. At first it wasn't radiant. It took sometime to polish it and get rid of the small scratches, but with enough time and effort that diamond became priceless and continues to shine RADIANT! The first real time I spent time with you in the game was when I asked you and some others to PPQ LOL! Pretty romantic I know I know, but you gotta start somewhere (we both joined the guild the same way too)!

You only planned to play for a couple of weeks or so until you was ready to move on with the school life but RIP that plan. We've been together for awhile now and it feels like years to be honest. The first time I talked to you for real was in Marr's Forest. This was all because Mellon (Mellor's Bishop) officially introduced us to one another (I think it was because you lost a bet and had to show him a tour and I wanted to join. Not 100% sure of all the details. You're the one with the perfect memory hahaha). I know you hate awkward moments but besides when I asked you about the weather during our first conversation I can sincerely say there hasn't been a moment I felt that was awkward with you unless I did it on purpose hehehe! You are an amazing person and you bring everyone together. You were the youngest Jr. in Wisdom and when Mellor quit you were the one to keep the torch radiant and decided to form Radiance with Amy (RIP T-T) when I was ready to give up. I finally gathered the courage to ask you out and you said yes on August 15th 2016 when in all honesty you had more than every right to say no and never talk to me again. Probably one of my happiest days ever when you said yes !

We have not met in real life yet very unfortunately but I promise you one day you will get to meet me and all my stupidity TEEHEE! I can say with all my heart that without you I would be typing a goodbye/quitting post and nothing else ever again. You are the reason I am still on this server and why I continue to login. No matter how many friends I meet here or feel like their my family it all ends up being about you. As long as you're on here I will never leave. Were #teammeo after all *fist bump* ! I love our weirdness and wish to never lose it. Who wants to be boring?! Were unique and I'am very thankful for you <3 @ayomichelle

The day you were recruited! Little did I know...
I'm Kenjutsu ^

One of our early days together

With our good friends another couple

IGN: FaultyReload
Title: Friendship never dies!

My story actually begins on my first Royals character, RelievedSin. I was relatively new to the server at the time and I didn't really have many friends either. One day, I was strolling about in the manner of which most level 5X thieves do, fully hasted and jumping a lot. There I met a man who was in a funny guild. The guild name was "ITSJOHNCENA" and I told him that I liked his guild name. The man turned around to face me and spoke the words, "Wanna join lol" After graciously accepting his guild invite, I now had a little piece of family to call my own. The guild started out really strong, with tons of members. The entire time, it was extremely talkative and everyone constantly made extremely stupid puns related to John Cena. After the dust settled and the memes were said and done, there were only a few of us who truly stayed active in the guild. One such person was @Darklit , aka Derek. He now plays under a different username, but our friendship is still as strong as ever. During our time in ITSJOHNCENA he helped me out a lot. We were training buddies, we lent each other valuable items to complete quests, we sat in the Free Market and talked for hours on end at times. It was all wonderful until the day our guild leader decided to quit. He had failed yet another Genesis 20 skillbook and was extremely upset and made the guild notice that he was leaving the guild behind to all of the Jr. Masters and that one day he would return. Derek, Nancy, Nikolas, and myself were the core members among the Jr. Masters. One by one, our members started to leave, seeking out a more active guild. Even the Jr. Masters were leaving at an alarming rate. Something had to be done about this tragedy. Derek suggested that we make our own guild. The last of got together to discuss names. We ended up deciding on "Everlasting" to be our guild name, which I took as a symbol of our friendship. The only thing left to decide, was who should lead this guild into the promised future of tomorrow? Everyone decided that I should lead the guild. That I should be the glue that held us all together. I reluctantly agreed, and the guild was formed. We played so much every day and things couldn't be better. We were all still relatively low leveled at the time as well, and we had finally become the right level to attempt a boss run. Our first boss was Pap, and the prequest was a killer! We had to really help each other out to muster the strength to kill Soul Teddies for their life force. Eventually the time came where we had enough and we completed our quest. We each received our piece of the dimension, which we quickly ran down to fill the gap to take on the boss. I can just imagine my character, with sweaty palms placing the piece in place, preparing to engage the danger that lie ahead. Suddenly, to our left, he appeared. He was big. He was scary. He hit us really hard. Derek and I were the last ones standing in the room. He refilled our Hyper Body. I flash jumped followed by a flurry of throwing stars that pelted Pap's chest. The fight was savage. We encouraged each other. Our fallen comrades cheered us on. "You can do it guys!" "Don't give up!" With smiles on our faces, we were vastly defeated and outclassed by the monstrosity. Even though we had died, we vowed to return one day to defeat the foe who claimed our lives. Fast forward several months. Derek, and myself are standing outside the doors of time. We are waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. I talk about how my gear sucks and out of the blue, walks over to me, and drops scrolls. "Use these, Zak!" he says with a large f2 on his face. My character looked up, and smiled. I returned the very thing to him which shone at me like a beacon of hope in the darkness. Today was going to be the day we were finally going to kill Pap. I scrolled up my gear, which the scrolls surprisingly worked. We were armed to the teeth with throwing stars, potions, we even had an onyx apple or two. We entered the fateful room once again, keyboard and mouse clutched firmly at our sides. We dropped the piece. The boss came... and this time was defeated. Our struggles helped us overcome every obstacle that has ever crossed our path, and we have always came out with our heads held high. When the crushing defeat rang over us, Derek cheered me up. When a scroll failed and blew up my item, Derek stayed positive. When I finally got married, Derek was the best man. Derek is everything and more that a friend could ask for in the exciting and adventurous world of MapleRoyals <3

You're the greatest, friend!

 

Your IGN: Privateer
Title: Dust
Story:

Left, right, jump, climb. Attack, dodge, attack
These were the keys I clicked, snails I just whack
Endless days I would walk around the maple world
Keeping everything I know and own completely furled

I was training on something…I think it was slimes
When you approached me and “hi”, he chimes
“Hi my name is Jackson, what is yours?”
“My name is Zack! Hey, do you want to kill some boars?”

That day we shared our stories about our lives
While he bashes the monsters and mobs, and survives
After a long day of training together side by side
We both log off, thinking about our coincidental collide

Days and weeks pass and we would train and talk
We would share our equips all around the clock
We always train together and completely wreck Zakum
Our playing days start to intertwine like a beat to a drum

Memories and a deeper friendship came out of this
Hours at end having fun with you was pure bliss
Our friendship was caring, bold, and certainly true
It flourished, blossomed, and oh did it grew

There were some days where we sit and chill
FM 5 was abuzz with our chatter; time seemed like it stood still
Alas at the end of each day we would always peace out
And next morning we are ready to be out and about

One day you were just AFKing in the FM
The next day you tried to log in and it was all mayhem
A ban message popped up and you were confused
Creating a new character and hacking, you were accused

You tried to make a ban appeal right then and there
Denied it said! From that post, it was a nightmare
The reality that I would never see you again in game started to settle
I wish this didn’t happen and I want to have mettle

There is nothing that you and I can do now
“I swear we will stay in contact” we both vow
We try to text and keep up with each other
We were like siblings, brothers from another mother

Time slowly tore us apart and it was quite subtle
Two friends drifted apart as slow as a scuttle
Now my days are void of you, worse than a friendship in rust
We sure had a lot of swell times, but for now we both return to
Dust.
