    I first start playing in ems pre big bang, have been on and off from time to time, but I've never thought I'd still do this today.
    I think for now, I login daily for some nice people in game to small chat with and buying fames to reach the 2nd place on fame rank list(the 1# is way 2 hard) at the same time helping some new players I've met while I'm online.
    So to you guys, why are you still playing? What makes you keep coming back to this game/community ;)

    It's fun acquiring the cool skills you see in trailers for new jobs, revamps, etc

    2008 GMS was my shit. Like spent all my childhood money on those damn nx cards. Then hid them to hide my addiction. This game is addictive as hell. I don't even level up anymore but I can waste hours "playing". I literally quit for a year and came back. Why? I think it's the chaos of the scrolling system and the adrenaline and risk mixed with gambling at gach. Haha. I'm really high right now, but I feel like this is pretty honest.

    Partly nostalgia. But mostly the fact that I genuinely enjoy the dull, repetitive process of clicking shift at a bunch of pixels for hours at a time, with no sense of actual gratification or enjoyment. Oh god why do I play this game

    During my free time, I also enjoy ramming my face into the wall.

    Because I love hours upon hours of mind numbing grinding that helps me to deal with Pokemon go servers being down

    I enjoy two things: grinding and socializing. Maplestory has the potential for those two things to be quite enjoyable and MapleRoyals does have the right idea about it.

    The nostalgia + social aspect is what it makes it better than other MMOs in my opinion, things like Party Quests and chilling in FM. Also the graphics are nice. It's a shame that the new MapleStory has basically made PQs useless, instead encouraging solo grinding and trying to get as much damage as possible.

    I find myself coming back to MapleStory around once a year or so, no-life it for a week and then get bored of it again. Anyone else have this as well?
