hello everyone,i quitted maple around 4-5 months,i have to admit i was obssesed with it,i wasted lots of money on nx cash and spent lot of sleepless nights,my grades have improved a lot since i quitted,and i spend more time with my friends(not extremely more but still some more),now i usually spend like 0-4 hours on my pc everyday,and i've been tempted to play maple again,i remember that i was obsessed with godly equips and dmg(thats why i spent so much nx)when i quitted i was a merch so i still have some good equips i could use,and i think i got the 2nd aran ring.so here's the problem:i'd like to play again,but i'd hate to get obssesed again,what could i do to avoid that?and,what's the current situation in maple? i had 2 ideas of what i could do if i re start playing: -start a new character and try to avoid getting obssesed with lvlin up faster than others and dmg. -start a new character and merch my way from 0(i do like merching) ty for your time,any help will be apreciated.

Uh, just set limits. Any person with any amount of self control can do it.

I periocally quit every 2-3 months for like 4 months to make sure I don't get too "addicted" to the game. Knowing you can stop helps you make sure you aren't glued to the game. It IS a very addicting game due to various options -insert own reasons here-. But as long as what Sharpie said "set limits" and you have self control, it's all good.

I only become obsessed when a new class comes out for a week or so I will no life grind. Think about how you look playing a computer for 4 hrs straight, that works for me somewhat

I failed sometimes to But I have priorities now, so those limits had to be made. I leave Maplestory for 3 weeks -1.4 months and come back.

please learn to talk....... 'quitted' is not a word... and what you can do is just have some self-control.... set an alarm for when you want yourself to stop playing, and follow it....

personally i think it would be hard.... there are so many new things coming out, you just might fall into old habits again. Ex. Dual bladers, potential item scrolling, big bang patch, etc

I always play it around this time except the summer of 2008 iirc so I just really get cravings around the summer and during the winter.

Self. Control. Btw, it's "quit", not "quitted". Don't take after Nexon :P
