Washed up mapler
Hello Basil just got a self story here for you guys. It's pretty lame like the creator but here goes.
I feel like i'm washed up nowadays. I've played 10 years and I know several others who are still in the community have too but I feel like I've squeezed the life out of the game for myself. I have spent all my time learning quests and npc's and maps how to get to them and making friends/leveling up knowing/skill builds and i'm a giant maple library you could compare me to basil even it's sad in many ways.
I started maple at 8 I was hooked instantly and never knew why but later realized it was from trauma that I still deal with to this day. I know it sounds cliche but it's true. Maple has showed me a-lot of things in life oddly enough. It's just lost it's magic for me and I don't know how to make it come back. I was really popular in Windia around 2009-2012. I was on maple radio and I was in one of the more successful guilds and I co-owned it. (Badass). I've played every job until 200 and learned all the skill builds pretty fast. I still roam Pservs time to time but i've legit drained all i can out of them and if i become to competitive and maple has become to unsocial causing the competitiveness. I honestly wish the social aspect was back but people only ever troll, scam, cause drama, boast or dupe so they can make money irl.
I don't know what I should be doing with my life currently. I work and go out time to time but i'm always left with a-lot of free time which I spend on maple and half the time i'm depressed during so. I just don't like sitting on maple but it draws me back.
I also really miss the maplestory videos i know alot of vets remember that I don't really have to go into they already know.
One thing I remember from a video when I was younger was a group of people making a guild and as they created it said "This guild is for those who love maple and know what the game is really about."
I want my old maple friends back and I always think if they will ever return but I know it won't.
Anyways if you actually read all this thank you I know it's long and annoying but idk i just had to put it down. You never know it may even spark a change.

@jayishere: Hey, at least my sass involved a video of pure nostalgia from the golden times of maple. I've played since I was about 10 years old myself and the only reason I keep playing is because I feel a sense of self accomplishment by doing dailys, bosses and bumping my range in the game. I've also recently started enjoying the social aspect again but I was a lone wolf for a long time.
As said above, try new things. Explore. Instead of being on Maple, read a book or watch a movie or something. Probably work towards going to college or something if that's your goal, or an apprenticeship in the trades, or some other thing that you may want to do.
If you don't know what you want to do, to go outside of your comfort zone and to try new things will only be all the more important.
Seeing someone for help and to get some advice from with regards to your situation will also be helpful. (Like some counselor or therapist, for example.)
Agree with the advice to get out of your comfort zone. It's really cliche, but you won't know what you're good at or what you really enjoy until you do that. Try playing an instrument or doing a sport or hiking. Or whatever it is you might like aside from playing Maplestory (and possibly other video-games). If you want to play something else, I can suggest Dungeon Fighter Online. I just started it up again and it's loads of fun.
But this game has clearly lost its touch on you, and that happens very often. Just have to move on from it and find something new to indulge yourself in.
The magic might fade from this game, but don't forget that the magic started with you.
just wait for battlefield 1. then you can play a new game
Lmao this thread is perfect example of several of my points. it's kinda sad.
@liftconcept: I didn't even troll you, I made a simple joke but your broken personality interpreted it as trolling, and it's hiiiiiiii-larious

@xtagg: wanted to see what a pathetic internet troll looks like.
@liftconcept: LOL skype you? Are you that butt hurt over my little joke?
@xtagg: I can. But feel like discussing here isn't appropriate to defend myself. If you wanna further discuss this message me instead. But if you're really that convicted in making your point skype me.
@liftconcept: It's not my fault that what I said flew over your head honey ;p It's not drama, you just are all defensive because you cant comprehend what I said
@xtagg: someone has a serious problem and you want to create drama. If you feel I need help and you want to advise me, feel free to message me instead, so it doesn't get off topic.
@liftconcept: No problem, just doing my part as a member of this community
@xtagg: Aiite thanks boss.
@liftconcept: As much as I agree with what you say, Zeros suffer from split personality and gender identity issues. I think you need just as much help as him
I suggest seek professional help. If that's not a possible option at the moment, try reaching out to family and friends who care about you, that could lead you on the right path. You need to leave your house, sit down somewhere peaceful and come up with some goals, reflect on everything that's happening, if you really wanna make a change in your life. Anyways good luck.
too long did not read a single word
@solzoriana Sass master flex as always
