I've been playing MS for more than a decade, never had in game friends. I always see everyone hang out and talk to their homies. It's very lonely, but I enjoy MS. So regardless of me training solo, I love the game!
Its funny seeing people over 25 take this game seriously. I once saw someone get so mad he ragequit over gach tickets lol
There's nothing wrong looking like a newbie and using super random, nonsense names. I know not everyone cares about roleplaying or care about their characters as much as some do. But seeing a level 150+ character, that isn't even a mule, called something like "asfhjasohsafo", with beginner face and haircut is just... so damn boring
Coughing like it feels 3rd stage Cancer already, but no. Going through forum, I cannot wait to sell/interact or just hang out. I really hope my soon to spend NX will be worth the gachapon.
Thanks for the condescending advice on the capes, asshole. I didn't price check capes cause it's so easily freaking obtainable. Literally states, "Help fund a NEWB." on my store. So how the heck did you expect a NEWB to even know they sell for 500k. It's so strange people literally choose to be super rude and mean to random people on the internet. I guess I'm just a dweeb that loves spreading positivity.
I don't play anymore, and likely never will outside of the increasingly fleeting happenstance of logging in to say hello to the guild/buddies. I still check out the forum a few times per week, moreso out of habit than anything else. I'll often find myself looking at the shoutbox, not even remembering navigating my way to the website. The reason I'm even here right now is because while procrastinating at work, listening to random videos on YouTube, the video I happened to click on used various MapleStory BGM. The music always fills me with nostalgia more than anything else. The funny thing though at this point is that nostalgia doesn't make me think of old-school GMS. My nostalgia lives in Royals now. Even though I had an amazing time in GMS, as it's obviously the reason I played here in the first place, in retrospect it was a terrible game. Royals gave me the experience I always wanted back in the day. It gave me the chance to play and make tangible progress toward the endgame that was out of reach for the majority of players on the vanilla server. Some of my friends used to clown on me for having in-game sounds and BGM on but I just loved it. I can't even begin to explain how many times I killed HT and that song still hasn't gotten old to me. I was a weirdo and trained my mages at the temple of time rather than selling leech and I'd spend some time every session with my music on. Some of the best music in the game. It's absolutely insane to me that MapleRoyals is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. I was 19 when I registered my forum account and I'm literally turning fucking 30 this year. This game was such a huge part of my life. Sadly enough I remember a lot of my life events outside of the game in relation to what I was doing in-game at the time. I've been inactive for over 2 years at this point but this version of the silly mushroom game feels so intertwined with the entirety of my adult life since I spent so much of my free time playing. Talking about this honestly makes me want to play some again, and this is far from the first time I've felt this way, but I always get stuck when I ask myself "Why?" Because it's so incredibly hard, at least for me, to continue when I've been out of it for so long. I've been invited by multiple people to come try X new boss or Y new content but why? A single boss clear isn't going to really do anything for me and I'm not invested enough to care to farm anything for a potential marginal increase in damage. I'm not trying to make a jab at the game or anyone who has invited me because I always appreciate that but I genuinely want to know what could drive someone to play again, even casually? (Feel free to PM me an answer if you have one since you aren't supposed to reply to comments in this thread). I've thought to make a thread about the subject but was too lazy lol. Lost my train of thought because I got busy and forgot I even began typing so that's all
My phone screen broke today. If I can't get my vacation pictures off of it onto a new phone, I'm going to be so sad.
I have to say it My heart needs come back to the beta test of GMS and go to Perion Channel 1, that's all i need . . . such a happy times, i'm going to die with those memories x2 compatriota
Adding “no offence” to your offensive statement does not give you a hall pass to voice out your nasty opinion. Well no offence but you seem to be ill-mannered.
when new players join but immediately decide to build and wash a NL by pumping incredible amounts of int and with their incredibly bad stats and gear they are unable to train normally then they proceed to furiously beg for free leech cuz no funds left from washing ??????????????? not sure if this is a result of their own actions and is well deserved or whether this behaviour should be supported
