My friend is addicted to Maple Story. During school he would play from 4-12. And now that school is out, he wakes up at around 9am and plays until he goes to bed at like 1am. He�s going on 17 years old always complained about being bored, and not having money. I tried to help him get a job but he doesn�t try... he just stays on maple. How can I confront him and tell him that he needs to stop playing maple as much and focus on life without hurting his feelings or anything. I�m not trying to be mean, just trying to look out for him. -Me

If he doesnt want to quit then there is nothing you can do.

At least Maple isn't a drug. Yet.

trust me, once he has a job, he wont be as addicted to maple, cause the same thing happened to me. I used to play like 14 or more hours, i got a job and cut hours down, ALOT! :D

OMG I just remembered! Tell him to get a PS3/360 if he doesnt have one and get him MW2 or MAG (PS3 xD) and he'll be counter-addicted. This worked for me. I got a PS3 and CoD4 along with other games for my 14th birthday. I thought I would get addicted. But my friends started Maple again so I started again. I thought I would get addicted again. But I didnt get addicted to either and play both. I play more Maple, though.

SaruHero said: "Break his computer. It will motivate him to get a job, just to buy a new one.. >_>;" Good point. (Though it's still pointless xD)

draw one of those stars on the floor and place him in the middle and oil him up and throw in couple of hugbears, should do the trick
