Meeting people irl I've met 2 of my closest friends on Maple in real life already. One turned out to be 28, and one turned out to be 22 (I'm 19). We're still really good friends though. I got close to a lot of my old highschool friends through Maple as well. That got me thinking, how is everyone not meeting people and socializing this much on Maple? I mean... I feel bad for you if you're not because you're missing out on a lot of friendship and memories.
What I hate most about the Familiar hackers I don't mind the 5,000,000 people that are getting to level 200 in a week. I don't mind the senseless KSing of legit people in legit maps. I don't mind the inflation and deflation of certain items that it's causing. What I hate is that these illiterate newbs are getting to level 150 and trying to boss run. The people I'm talking about have never been past level 50 so don't know how a boss run goes. They don't even speak during the boss run, and if they do it's either in spanish, french, or dutch. They loot everything during the run (if they even make it in). I wouldn't mind as much if it was a legit person that was clueless in the boss run, because I'd know they were just learning for the first ti
What are your fave documentaries? I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately. I've pretty much racked up a list of over 100 of them that I want to watch. Rather than just watching them in any random order, I'd like to know what documentaries you guys really liked? I'm a liberal-atheist (just incase that might help you find a good one to suggest). Some of my faves (that I suggest all of you watch because they're really good, especially the first 2). *The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream *Capitalism: A Love Story *Bill Maher's Religulous *Bin War's *War on Our World *Philosophy and the Matrix: Return to the Source *Cosmos: A Personal Voyage *Debtocracy Those are just a few of the ones that I've watch
Is it time to quit? I went to sleep last night after leveling up once, making 200mil, and adding a new buddy... I was happy. I woke up this morning, came on Basil and found a thread about the nicest thing someone's ever done for me. After reading through it, I decided I might as well post a story as well. I posted a story about a guy that was like a brother to me when I had started Mardia, but this reminded me about how he quit 4 years ago. He's been stuck on my mind all morning. I can't help but wonder what he's done with his life, (he's 2 years older than me) and how he's doing. Then I started thinking about all my friends in Mardia that quit between 2-3 years ago. They were some of the best friends I'd had in the game (back when I used t
Wow I hate MMBs so much I spent the last week and a half doing Zak solo's daily to farm MMBs. I only farmed like 3 of them, which isn't that bad I guess. Either way, I got bad skillbooks from them (Blizzard 30, and stuff like that). So after a few minutes of raging about how hard it is to find them, I decided to look up what monsters they drop from.... pretty much 40% of all the 120+ monsters /eyeroll. So, before I decide to just give up completely, I thought I'd ask Basil. Where do you folks farm your MMBs from? Is it even worth it to farm MMBs? All I really want is a MW20...

Is my range really that bad? Yes, it's another Shadower range question. A few weeks ago, I had to downgrade a few of my equips (lost about 9% luk in total and 12 w.atk) to get 2 extra BStep 30's because they kept failing (sigh). Anyways, I'm getting a little self-concious about my damage. I know I shouldn't be comparing myselves to heavily funded 100%+ LUK Shadowers but I feel like my damage is even more pathetic than usual. I asked this godly Shadower that I was training with about his range and he said it was ~60k. So, I humbly ask you... is my range that bad? It's 6383~9118 unpotted + unbuffed, level 154 shadower.
How am I going to do with this laptop? Skip the bolded part if you're not in the mood for a back-story [b]After 4 years of regretting my previous purchase of a laptop (I was 13 and promised a laptop for my 14th birthday so I picked the first one I saw), I've finally talked my parents into buying my a new one. However, they refuse to buy me a good Alienware laptop because they know that I wouldn't use it for school work (which I had convinced them I needed one for). So, we agreed that the laptop they'll buy will be relatively cheap but still have specs which won't make me cry at night. My current laptop is actually not too horrible but it's running like garbage compared to other 4 year old laptops. It's current specs (the important ones) are

Inspiration for everything I came across this video a few minutes ago and I think a lot of people need to see it. It's one of the most inspirational things I've ever seen; it's not one of those kids that survived cancer or anything of that sort. You should especially focus on the narrative because that increases the impact of the video exponentially. This is the video ;;set_size=1 [b]Added a youtube link:[/b] I can predict that there's going to be atleast one person with the temptation to comment with something racially derogatory in this thread so if you plan to, please don't. After watching this video, it's really inspired me to work a lot harder and really changed my outlook on a lot of things. It could very easily be one of the defining
Two questions about a Thief Got the answers I needed, thread closed. The first question is a pretty easy one directed to NL's and the second one is directed to both NLs and Shadowers. 1. Are Sins, Hermits and NL's fast (or even average) trainers? I've heard they're extremely slow so I'll need an opinion on that. If they're slow then I might make a Shadower again... 2. How much funding is required to be an 'average' NL or an 'average' Shadower'. So far I have a 6% luk earring to start with and about 500mil, is that enough or do I need more? I'm basically looking for price ranges on both, I'd like to have average (if not above average) damage and equips. EDIT: I just realized I put this in the wrong section, sorry. Still looking for answers t
Should this be taking so long So on July 22nd I was banned, it happened a few seconds after that server check thing that got rid of GM Scrolls. Anyways, I find it impossible for a GM to know for sure if anyone was hacking literally a minute after they log in. (I was in NLC and it was a perma-ban). Anyways, I didn't complain since I was going on vacation anyways and thought I'd be unbanned when I got back (2 weeks later). So I logged a ticket on that day (July 22nd) and left it. [url=http://i51.tinypic.com/2w39agg.jpg]The ticket (The last updated thing was an automatic message I got from Nexon saying it's taking longer than usual and will be resolved soon, I get one every week)[/url] Now, here we are in August 20th, over 4 weeks later and st
Complete The game is back up - go play Rage... x_x Anyone else mad about this?
Have you heard this yet? A lot of my friends have been sending this link to me (mostly for the video).
Are you really an Atheist? I've seen a lot of people saying that they were Atheists but... they don't really seem like it. They seem more like Agnostics or Anti-Theists. Same goes for a lot of Theists, they just associate any questioning of religion/God with being Atheist. For those of you that do not know, I'll put the definitions below. [b]Agnostic[/b]: A person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. [b]Theist[/b]: One who believes in the existence of a god or gods. [b]Atheist[/b]: someone who denies the existence of god. [b]Anti-Theist[/b]: Antitheism (sometimes anti-theism) is active opposition
My ban ticket changed to work in progress o-o Status: Work In Progress Date Created: 4/27/2011 4:33 PM PDT Last Updated: 5/10/2011 4:27 PM PDT Does that mean that they're working on unbanning me or just getting to the ticket now?
