Hard to quit? nahh

Hey guys, i've just wanted to share with you my experience of quitting maplestory. Its easy to do, as long as you follow these few steps:
-Get hacked (My password is uppercase, lowercase, has symbols, and numbers. Hackers have some nice brains)
-Have all your maple friends start ignoring you (yep, this happened, still have NO idea why...)
-Don't buy nx as a reason to stay (i've only spent 25 bucks on this game over 2.5 years)
-Give all your stuff to a random noob and make his day (really makes you feel warm inside)
and last but not least
-Have the knowledge that THIS WON'T HELP YOU GET THROUGH COLLEGE (droppin rhymes)
It's been a little over 9 months since i've quit, and i'm doing pretty well. Got into the best highschool in my state, made so many unpixelated friends, got into precalculus as a freshman, have straight A's, and i'm currently training to make the basketball team.
Let this inspire some people to have an epiphany and realize that this game isn't worth it.
eesgood,no?

That's a lot of steps to claim it to be easy.

However, getting through high school with tough classes gets you into a better college, thus resulting in a better education.

You're implying that everyone who plays this game is so addicted to the point that they can't function in life.
You couldn't be more wrong.

@jonahthepwna: Sophomore.
The only homework i really do is Math but i do it in my Business class cause we never do anything and i need the practice since our tests are only 4 questions so its really easy to fail.
And the homework and classwork are like 1+1; tests though are like x=-b±√b²-4ac/2a.

You could just hit level 200. Once I hit it, I have no reason to go on Maple anymore, and I've increased my productivity ten-fold. It also helped me realize how immature the people in this game are... it's worse than other areas of the internet.

[quote=Thorontur]Dont know about you but Maple has actually helped me a bit.

Playing Maple is the only time i ever get time to myself and it calms me down whenever im not around friends or if my friends are busy.
Also is a great time-killer which is something i need since i do almost nothing after school.[/quote]

No homework? lol.

[quote=andrewthepro]Isn't inspirational at all, in fact your story is just sad. You say quitting is easy, but in reality you're just complaining about getting hacked and trying to make it seem like it turned your sad life around. You lost your friends too; you lost everything so you inevitably quit, it's not easy. I feel sorry for you[/quote]

Lost my friends? Lemme quote "made so many unpixelated friends"

I think you need help if those are the things you need to convince yourself you don't have problems with your priorities.
