Hi to anyone that's about to read this. I have a hobby of being an author so I like to write very long messages and well, anything So please get yourself comfortable In the past I've had really bad experiences posting and spending time on forums so, this is taking all my courage. So, for my introduction, I'd like to introduce myself as my ign - Cutie. I'd prefer to be called that and maybe if you asked my name i'll tell you privately I joined MapleRoyals about 3/4 days ago and Im very surprised and happy to have joined. I also told 2 of my friends, who shouldnt be playing often due to work and studys, to come play with me too and they also really enjoy it. I'm so happy and thankful to the creators, the ACTUAL Host who had the idea (not just the Gm's who work and help with it). I've had a horrible time feeling sad about all my old memories that i'd never be able to relive in Maple. "Is it really all gone? I really cant go back? This must be how life really works.." Is what i'd usually think about. All my old friends from GMS are gone, I was able to contact some of them but they dont remember me and it really had hurt. I thought about Henesys and my first time in Kerning after begging my mom back in 2008 to buy me a VIP hair coupon with her credit card. I played GMS for maybe 3 years, when i later joined other private servers and then went back after the bigbang and played for another 1 1/2 years, until an ex-boyfriend of mine stole all my stuff to the point it was unplayable and i despised how the new maple is..... Can anyone relate here? I would be able to write books about my nostalgia haha... However, I also wanted to say a big thanks for giving me this chance before i head off to my University in 7 months, when i'll have no time to play maple. Thanks for giving me this chance to heal and reminisce some of the broken things that i didnt have the chance to mend. Even just going back to the place where i used to chat with my friends all day, with that same music and mobs jumping around, helps me and heals me so much its almost something i cant describe. You might call things like this childish, or i have some strange addiction. But an addiction is something you cant control. I physically stopped playing maple and i can at any time. I just missed it so very much... I missed sitting in Henesys on that Top haystack looking at my little level 7 Black piggy, that i put in the cutest little mushroom suit, and watching the people pass by to go train at the hunting grounds. It isnt there in v62 anymore, but there was a little house type thing right next to the haystacks to the Left. and it was always full of people with all kinds of different styles, AFK'ing in their Omok and maple card games. I'm not sure about you, but i always judged people on their NX. (If you could afford it.) You could call me Nx-Racist haha. Back when i was younger i 'would' ignore people if they didnt have nx, but now i fixed that habit haha. Dont you think a persons NX describes their personality? Is it wrong to judge on pixels? I guess i just automatically did, and do. As i play now, I try to hide my screen from any of my family who walks past, because all they know Maplestory as is "That game I'm Addicted to" and "That game i spent all my time on". And nevertheless i'd be pulled aside and chastised to about why im not studying. But little does anyone know is that Maple was almost like a second life. It was a really magical thing that people wont understand unless they were there. No later and no less than when it was golden. Everyone has their own opinions though, but i personally despise the "recent" Maple versions. So, even though I cannot donate to this server..... I want to show so much thanks to it. Thank you so much. Now that i have this second chance to go back, even without all my old friends, I can now be the things i was never able to be. I can now be that girl with the EXP Hair i could never get. I can be that Cleric with the Heal that can mob so easily. For some reason i always wanted a shield, and since i had a Sin that i leveled past 40, i never wanted to make a new character, being it took like a year to get back to 30 haha So i was just stuck with my Sin and i ALWAYS wanted a shield I would be so jealous of those girls with the hair i wanted, the shoes i wanted, that gaia cape with the speed and the red rope that was so expensive. The girls with the bunny slippers and the Tweed Headbands. Was this only me and my experiences? Begging my mother for her credit card usually didnt work, so everytime id go to quest or KPQ id always see girls like that, males too. And for some reason it just meant the WORLD to me. Would you give your kid 50bucks to try for a "video game hairstyle" that might not even work out in the end? Probably not. Or maybe you would since you've been there before. But to someone whos never really liked games, it seems like a total waste. But now - finally, I can be that Cleric with the shield and that EXP Hair. I can have the red rope now if i want ( I actually dont want it anymore haha man times change ). I can be that type-of girl like i always have wanted. Back in the era i was in. I can finally try out a Zakum run, and teleport anywhere i want. I can go to el-nath and slide all around with my black piggy in the mushie suit, even if its by myself. Thank you MapleRoyals, for letting me have this chance go back and be that girl i had wanted to be so badly. I feel very excited, and usually at the end of the day i like to spend a few hours playing. I live in South Korea so my GMT is somewhere around +9 i think. If you live in Malaysia or Singapore im about an hour ahead or behind... ( i need to figure that out ) If you'd like to be my friend, I dont mind. But im not very outgoing really, and im not playing to make friends either. But i dont mind . I think - if you find me, I'd love to sit somewhere and hear some of the old things you used to do back then too. I enjoy going to some of the old places where i used to go, odd places, and usually alone. Im mostly looking for nostalgia. I'd love to PQ also, but i change levels alot so it depends if i fit the criteria of that PQ. And i'd love to help you if im able to, it makes me feel good haha . But i cant help with mesos. Im. Really. Broke. . I look on the forums ALOT. But i never post, this being a huge exception because i just now gained enough confidence to post, and its long. Im very afraid of forums to be honest. Because of my bad experiences with them (harassment, banning, Sluts misusing the forum as a way to post photos of themselves in nude-istic ways, private messages from stalkers and creepy...people...), Im very afraid of posting, or anything to do with them (forums). Its like a cult Lol. But anytime if im online (in-game) we can play ^^ even if i might be on the quiet side. I've played alot of private servers looking for this type of experience but at those times, a v62 and earlier was very rare and im not sure why i couldnt find mapleroyals, i guess i was more interested in a v83+ but i actually prefer v60 and earlier. I was a GM on 3 old servers (which are closed now) I did some volunteering with the coding ( changing colors, maps, items, hairs ) and i later did some Hex coding for Maple and another private server for Pangya which was so long ago i dont think i can even code anymore haha So when i see a bug in MapleRoyals i just kinda go "eh, they could fix that easily" but im sure everyone is working hard It's not as easy as it looks haha. I forgot i was just CPQ'ing with this girl who helped me get that EXP hair since the voteing NX wasnt nearly enough. What a nice girl to donate approx. 20+ hair changes to get it. And her guy-friend helped too so kudos to those two. (hi wottle) But i feel bad because im sure shes waited and i didnt come back LOL SORRY LADY IF U SEE THIS ILL HELP U WITH CPQ LATER Obviously this is more important kekekeke So, what i was saying about how much i look at the forums is that, before posting this ive looked at approximately 300 posts and threads on the forums in all different threads and things, and i usually still look when i vote usually. I've heard about seppukku and shaina (actually saw her get banned recently), i looked at some other things and saw a few Gm's in game. Saw the argument about swearing in the smegas and heard about GM Annie, and i see how the GM's reply on the forums (their personality). I can understand how they feel since i had been one a few times, and it becomes very difficult to remain nice after doing lots of work.... "GM why dont u do this!" "omg GM GM GM GM" "GM i want u in my pants" "GM mersoz plz" "GM where do i buy snail shells" ect. It sometimes becomes so much, when someone is genuinely asking nicely, u accidentally snap at them and it becomes a big deal, or u ban them for ect ect reason. It's hard to keep your smile, so GM's please - Remember you have a soul! Remember the kindness inside! Your kindness and smile keeps nooblets warm at night. Even if they dont thank you for all u do! You are like their Mama's and Papa's. The nooblet mama! There will be a nooblet who will thank you in that special way, and they need you! =) You are helping nublets with their little dreams and hopes that they had in GMS. And that is an important job that happens to be tough. And it's very hard not to be biased against certain players... Where you like one and u just wanna ban another just because u hate their soul for any reason u think of. It's hard. And to be honest i HAVENT read the terms and service or the rules of MapleRoyals. I only intended of playing like a normal little mapler and not being so much in the limelight of popular people known in this server. So, I dont know if posting such a long message would anger any of the GM's or the community. I dont know if this is too long or "dramatic". I also dont know if this should be in a different section. So, i'd like to apologize before being pledged guilty. I'm sorry GM's and community if this was too dramatic. Please take into consideration that im just a girl posting a meaningless message. I thoroughly apologize. So, I'll wrap up now by saying ( TL; DR ) Thank you MapleRoyals for this wonderful thing you've given me, and I'd like to say hi to anyone who'd like to play sometimes with me in-game. And if you see me around, you can say hi and id love to say hi back haha how do i end this ok bye
Hi! I'm Christine- and I don't go on much anymore because I'm in Uni right now- and school sucks. D: I'm from Singapore; we're GMT+8- so you're an hour ahead! It's 1.25 am and I should really be sleeping but I'm not. Welcome to mapleroyals I LOL-ed at your behaviour with regards to nx- because I did that when I played maplesea in 2006-2008. I saved up to make my pixels pretty; it was really fun, and I was like Y YOU SO FUGLY at the people i knew who didn't bother to beautify themselves. <3 I appreciate your POV to being a GM- it sucks because I've encountered many moments when I get so frustrated by the community and I end up snapping due to my innate frustration. DW, all of us have lubs inside- we don't bite; I love working with all the staff members as they are because they're really fab GM Annie included- she's one of the people I actually look up to (even though I'm older then her cos she's so mature). I hope you enjoy royals, and don't cry! We have an amazing community, so I'm sure you'll find the nostalgia we've been missing. Coding is something we're all working on atm, so I pray that one day we'll live up to your high expectations. Cheerio! I missed the old MS so much because I played 1 month after Beta ended- and everyone was so kind and helpful, and a year later (or 1.5 years, I can't remb), when LPQ was out I would spend hours PQing just because of the amazingly nice people...when people weren't so focused on being pro. PS: I'm the mean one among the GMs >:OOOOOOO Aly Edit: She lies, she's the absolute nicest. <3
That was a long read! MapleRoyals has an awesome community. I can't guarantee you won't have any of the bad experiences you described, but I feel that for the most part you should be able to have lots of fun here Enjoy your time in this wonderful place. PS: Christine is a liar, she's the sweetest of all <3
I do not mean any offence by this but I got two paragraphs in and just wanted to say hello. I can't keep my attention to reading for long enough, I'm awfully sorry!
Wow, shocked that I read that. It sucks because I'm a creative writer (I don't call myself an author for very weird reasons), and I always have to peer edit my friends' projects, but I can never make it through. Somehow I was just hooked on reading what you had to say. I think that was one of the sweetest things I've ever read. I remember Tespia and all those stupid pre-GMS rollbacks, but I loved it. I loved when everyone hung out in Perion and I loved how all of us high levels (Lvl 40-60 ) would try to kill jr balrog everyday. I quit GMS around v40. I found a home in a v55 server and became a gm, but I realized that the community is what makes the game fun. That's why I love it here, people talk and skype and just hang out and it's awesome from when you're on break from the daily grind. I cracked up at the judging people based on pixels thing. That's me right there. There are some people whose pixels aren't worthy enough for me to even look upon. I really hope you have fun here, because you sound really excited. Feel free to add me in game (IGN: Detox) and if you ever get bored, I'll find you something to do
lol I think you are the one I tried to help in nlc to get the exp hair but we failed because I ran out of mesos =P I play Sith & copyleft/copyright and when the time is right I will revive cryvision. Wish you an awesome experience here and that you soon will be like...
