I was in Rite Aid, buying my usual Monday nx (40k), and while I was on line at the store, I hear the most terrible noise. I hear, "HEY, DO YOU PLAY MAPLESTORY?" I turn around and see an 8 year old kid, and then he starts asking me questions, about my level and world. I was like... F7. Then, everyone looked at me like F6 and I was embarrassed. Oh well, never going there again. I'm 15 btw. Do you guys ever get stories like this? If you do, how do you feel?

[quote] ChibiChild : When I do buy I make sure that I have exact change, go in, grab the card, pay for it, and walk out [/quote] I did that, but the guy needed time for the cards to verify.

Lol, I am pretty much the only person in my city, at least within 20 miles who buys NX from stores. The cashier even said to me last time I went "Wow, we don't sell too many of these" It is getting to be more popular I guess though, cuz at the CVS next to my house, the cashier said that some lady bought about 5 $25 cards like 15 minutes before i got there. I have yet to meet another person in my city who plays MS :/ I think that'd be awesome to meet another person Oh, and I am 18 by the way, I don't care what people think of me playing MS lol, cuz almost all of the cashiers I get are always old and have no idea what maplestory is

You shouldn't be embarrassed about something you are passionate about.

When I buy NX I always hide the cards under my wallet so no one sees me. I only go to old people who work as cashiers, so they don't ask me any questions.

I'm 17 and I tend to buy nx maybe once a month at shoppers.. but I usually just ask my friend (who also plays ms) to buy it for me hehe... since he buys his and mine at the same time, he says the cashier always gives him a weird look since he's using so much money. Heh but ehh.. makes my life so much easier x)

One time I put the card back an left the store becuase I THOUGHT I heard my friend. I came back and the cashier asked me "are you ok sir?"

I'm sorry but you should be ashamed that you explained your real life experience with maplestory "emotions." That's the problem, not your age.

You arent embarrased by maplestory, Maplestory is embarrased by you... Its a game its no different than some one collecting autographed footballs for 300 dollars ea. obviously you still care too much what people think in a few years youll look back and say why did i care what people said..
