| I-...I havent been faithful lately guys. I-...Ive hacked. For a good while now. And while I enjoyed gaining the fast levels, botting all day & botting all night, I felt that every day it was becoming a chore. I hacked in the beginning, thinking "Hey, this is pretty cool! I've gotten to xx level much more faster than when I didn't hack!". But I feel now, that the higher level I reach, the less fun I get out of Maplestory. It was about gaining levels, not meeting new people, or Party Questing and having fun. Maybe it was the fact that it was Yellonde, a hackers paradise due to the lack of GM's. But I've met incredbile people, all 100% legit, and I feel that with me being with them, I was reminded of myself. Back in 2006, playing Maplestory for the first time. I was level 16, a Mage in Broa, maxing Bolt first, and putting like, 3 stat points into STR and the rest into Int/Luk. I was always jealous of the hackers back in those days. The item Vaccer's, the monster vaccer's. Getting to level 30 in a mere day while I'm here, pressing the same button over & over again, and if I'm lucky gaining 50% a day (To be honest, I was killing Boars. At level 16. Lol.). But I grew up. I learned more about the Internet, and more about Maplestory. I then learned that killing weaker monsters faster yields better EXP and efficiency than killing bigger, harder monsters for a 1/4 more exp. There was no better feeling than reaching 2nd job on my Crossbowman, Crapsniper. I made the name (Mind you this was WAYYY before 4th Job) that when I reached level 70, 3rd Job, I would become an amazing Sniper. An oxymoron, contradicting my name. I wasnt a Crap Sniper, I was an AMAZING Sniper. When I saw that number, "29", reach 30, my heart was FILLED with excitement. Spamming the guild chat with "LVL30LVL30LVL30LVL30LVL30LVL30", I made my way to Athena Pierce, became a Crossbowman and off I was to fulfilling my goal of reaching that sacred land known as "3rd job". Tomorrow I was level 31. Then I was level 32. What's that? Level 33 here I come. This was before CPQ. Hardore Grinding ALL DAY, BABY! Spamming Iron Arrow at Sakura Cellions, making good money while at the same time earning great Exp. It was probably the first time in my life I enjoyed Grinding. Yeah, I was crazy back then. But then something tragic happened. I'm going to save you all a long story: I got backstabbed by my friend, and everything was taken away from me. Feeliing sad & destroyed by what happened, I declared Bankruptcy (sp?) on Maplestory. Not exactly, but you get what I mean. I told myself I was gonna quit. Add/Remove programs, Maplestory, remove. It was gone off my computer and I gave myself up. Oddly enough, I found myself making a new account a week later. It was like a Retribution. I made a new account, made a new character and a new server (Bera, if it matters), and here I was. Back on my previously wet feet into digital euphoria. I decided I was going to make a new character, and make him a Melee character |
