Hello basilmarket. In all the time i have been playing this game, I have met wonderful people, scammers , hackers ,etc. But in all this time ,I have met a special 11 years old kid. He was a latin american from Per� , He only spoke spanish but i helped him learning english and with my help and with the help of maplestory he got to learn english. 3 years later of friendship, I went to Per� to visit him, There i noticed that he spoke better english than me. All that with the help of Maplestory. I also discovered what was the reason he quitted NorthAmericaMs, He went to play brasil maplestory with other friends. Now with the help of his brasileans friends and with bms, he is learning portuguese br. I am 14 years old and i am from american (American u.s.a idk y people tell ppl u.s.a citizens americans, Americans if south americans are also americans ) He is also 14 years and speaks 2 languagues and he is going for the third one.! Now i think about all the money i have wasted in this game, I have bad grades, ALL THE TIME WASTED! Playing too much maplestory ruined my life, but atleast it improved the life of my friend.

So I assume you failed and succeeded in both ways. Failed: In the end, you resulted in bad grades and grammer issues Succeeded: You helped a stranger learn English.

My friend played MS for a whole summer and lost a lot of weight because he was too busy leveling up. o_o But you win, TS.

[/quote] Just telling people in somewhat make me realize now that this game made me lose time of my life. I am now caring for my fat problems and will improve my grades.

Don't let that be a 'good' reason to keep destroying your life.

You're only 14 and you think a simple game and bad grades have ruined your life? You have no idea.

For some reason I don't entirely believe this. Probably because I'm surprised that your friend didn't teach YOU how to speak English instead of the other way around.

Learn from this experience and learn a new language! If he can do, so can you. Basic spanish in high school is a good start. Good luck.
