Hi MapleRoyals community! It is in bittersweetness that I find myself writing this post. Recently, I was playing on my newly created to-be Hero, TGCal, when I was "detected" to be mob vac'ing. I thought it was silly and a mistake with the autoban system - a mistake that would probably be easily fixed with a thread in the Ban Appeal forum. I thought it'd be easily fixed because I had seen how active the GMs were and how they were vigilant with creating a fair and just community. I was wrong, unfortunately, as seen in my thread here. But that's okay. I had been coming to a point where I was pretty satisfied with where I was at in the game, with grinding my bishop to 151 and having fun meeting and leeching guildies and new people alike. I hoped that I would be able to create and fund some new characters to become attackers in boss parties, but it looks like that's not going to happen anymore. I'd like to say farewell to my friends and guild, SevenStars, that I'll likely not be able to talk anymore since I didn't get any chance to get any contact information other than MapleRoyals: Shiyui (Akira <3) - Thanks for giving me some free 1-hit skele leech and just being the friendliest person ever. You were probably the friendliest person I've ever met in an online game and made me realize how much a simple online interaction could positively impact someone. SorakaUlt - Thanks for inviting me to your guild and trusting me to be a Jr. Master for awhile, even though you didn't know me personally. TrickyMimic - Thanks for bish-ing with me. Was fun leveling up beside you =P JimBread - Thanks for being an awesome guildie and being talkative and friendly Oweeenie - Thanks for being my buddy and leechie for a short period, was fun leeching you! soobs - F**king soobs. Hehe. the infamous TunaChan - You da best, girl. Endia Bacterium And anyone else that was in SevenStars or in my buddy list. I'm sorry if I forgot your name! It's hard to remember all the IGNs without looking at my lists one last time. Although I'm bitter that I donated recently and justice wasn't served with my autoban case, I'd like to thank the MapleRoyals staff for working hard to keep the server running and for it to be fair and fun. I had a great deal of fun in the past month, not to mention the great amount of nostalgia that it brought back. I even got my childhood friend to play with me for a short night and that was such a blast. So thank you, MapleRoyals staff, GMs and admins, for offering me a free trip back to my childhood, if only for a short period of time. And thank you to those who I had the privilege of befriending and de-stressing with this past month. I wish you all the best and farewell! ~Chris (a.k.a. Ketho/Kethoe)
