hi, good morning!how are you all today?quite cool tis morning isnt it? :)
well...lets skip the nice intro. Today i would like to share a little hobby of mine tat most of you here still never knew before and it's about: my online gaming experience, playing ''MAPLESEA'' game.
I remember the day exactly. It was a Saturday morning. After watch my little brother playing those game for few times, i suddenly became so furious and curious to try that Bloody ''MAPLESEA'' thing. (online game).
what is MAPLESEA?
MapleStory is a 2D scrolling platform game. The controls for the game are executed using the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is used for many game functions, and much of it can be rearranged to suit users' needs. .The players combat monsters and complete quests, in the process acquiring in-game currency called "Mesos", experience points, and various items.

After download the game client patch, the small icon of the orange mushroom-like house sat on my desktop, begging for the double click that my finger had so eagerly pounded into it. It was the start of a BEAUTIFUL friendship, and an UGLY addiction.
That day was a lot of firsts for me – the first time playing an online game, the first time i wasting lot time in front of my laptop, and my first time playing an RPG. ( What is RPG?Short for role-playing game game.)
In this maple thing, u can choose 4 different job for ur character: a warrior, a magician, a thief and a bowman.
well , my first character was a bowman and i named it as CURRYPUFF084 cos at that time i guess tis name is kinda cool/ unique. I screwed up my build, messed up my equips, misconstrued my skills; it was a total nightmare for training in today’s perspective but tat time, I didn’t care much. All I did was love out of that game, logged on to play it every day and played every hour.
There was somewhat more of a camaraderie (what is camaraderie? from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/camaraderie : Goodwill and lighthearted rapport between or among friends; comradeship) and back then as opposed to what there is now; in our guilds and whatnot we would spend hours hanging out, and killing monsters. I suppose one could say we lived the Maplestorian Dream, so to speak: killing monsters and hanging out with friends. We would adventure together and pretend we were explorers forging a path through some foreign land; Sleepywood and the Ant Tunnel seemed so wild and untamed to us. Still, it was just a 2D videogame that I just poured hours of my life into, not a real-life experience. Oh, the sugarcoating of nostalgia.
After pouring what was years into a bowman that got to level 128, screwed out its stats to something unimaginable (I had no idea these “builds” existed and so I added whatever I felt was necessary. Endgame for “CURRYPUFFO84” was with 6 LUCK or so) I finally quit maple-ing for a while. Yet, the game would still haunt me for years to come – and to this very day.
