Why do you all think its M A P L E again?

Ok so the hero classes are

M:ercedes
A:ran
P:hantom
? E:van...

But wait.. No they arent. The original mage hero was named Freud.

Mercedes
Aran
Phantom
L:?
Freud
That doesn't work... Either you guys are grasping at straws or Nexon didn't think this one through very well.
As it really doesn't make sense that they included the kid born over 100's of years later than the rest of the heroes when naming the world, before he was even born.

Oh wait, I thought the names were the other way around. Herp derp.
Aite, well.. yeah, he's not a HERO hero. I guess it's just named after the playable classes/characters, then.

Read the Evan storyline, and pretty much anything pertaining to it.

[quote=DarkQuill]But Evan was a hero. And despite his name being Freud, his class is still Evan.[/quote]

You are mistaken Quill, None of the "class names" of the heroes are classes. They are the actual names of the hero. (Aran's name is Aran, Evan's name is Evan, so on.) If Freud were playable, his class would be Freud.
But hey, sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.

[quote=Rukudo]you said urself the hero "class" is evan.[/quote]

In that "point" you made, I'm not seeing a point. Yeah the mage "hero" you play as is Evan, but he isnt the person who fought the black mage Freud was. And no Freud was not an "Evan Dragon Tamer" Evan is the child of the pig ranch owner. Like any of the other playable heroes, you get to rename your version, but Evan is still his real name.

Because the classes in the acronym of MAPLE and STORY are in total chronological order.
And that Nexon planned it all out at the start. Not a coincidence.
Yeah, right. >.<

[quote=BabyT]First of all, nobody cares is a figure of speech that means, "It's not that important." It's called a hyperbole, search it up.
Again, he's not being literal.
No one said that he needs a life. He just said, "Get a life." He didn't say, "You need a life." And how are YOU going to be talking about how some people want to voice their small details/ideas when you're criticizing someone else? He has a pet peeve too, and that's people like the TS. He was just voicing his opinion. Just like you are voicing yours and I am voicing mine. I'm not going to stop you from saying what you say, but I AM going to try to stop you from being a hypocrite. So please, stop being a hypocrite.

I don't like his comment either. It was too... offensive and he totally did not need to flame that far. But I don't think YOU'RE right either.

OT: Maple was not named after the Heroes. I realize what you're saying, but it's just Nexon being weird and deciding to have the Heroes' names be an acronym for Maple. Freud has nothing to do with it.[/quote]

telling someone to "get a life" is a saying. it is a commonly used phrase, which is why i surrounded it with quotes, as well as why i surrounded "need a life" with quotes, because they are basically the same phrase. i used both of them as the same meaning if you haven't noticed, smart one.

and i did not say that he shouldn't be speaking these words towards the thread starter. please tell me where in my response says that the person should not speak his mind. tell me. my response is a response to his and it is what you call a REPLY. an ARGUMENT. a DISCUSSION.

this "nobody cares = it's not important" is not accurate. when someone says "nobody cares" it can literally mean NOBODY CARES. it can also mean I DON'T CARE. those two are usually the case, more than your IT'S NOT IMPORTANT. my response to YOUR reply is that YOU are also not right. thus discussion is made. this is a forum. you've made assumptions from my reply. my reply to yours has cleared those assumptions up. do not talk about being hypocritical when your reply can look just as "hypocritical" from the eyes of others as well.

Why dont you READ the story before you call people names kid. The kid in the story's name is Evan. Freud is not affiliated with Evan in ANY way, except that Evan's dragon (Mir) is the child of Freuds dragon (Alfrien).

Here's the story behind Freud...It''s pretty interesting.. but I think he's dead.. Cause he was never frozen ._. I think [evan's version]

But in the Mercedes' version, it just said that he died trying to protect the dragon i think.

[quote=Maplewiji]A long time ago there lived a heroic Magician named Freud. Mighty even by the standards of Maple World, he delved into many different areas of magical research, but chief among his interests was the study of the Onyx Dragons. His greatest desire was to find a way for humans and dragons to live together in peace. After many years of study and exploration, this desire would bring him before the greatest of Onyx Dragons, the Dragon King, Afrien.
Now Afrien, as King of the Onyx Dragons was the greatest of his kind. Despite their many differences, Afrien loved humans as he loved all life. When Freud appeared before him, he found a kindred spirit, a human who shared his philosophical love for all lifeforms. Not wishing to miss out on this opportunity, Magician and Dragon pledged to each other a Spirit Pact of mutual defense and understanding. They bound themselves together using many powerful rituals and spells, creating the first Spirit Pact, the forerunner of the many that would come later. Under the pact, two spirits would become one and the resulting bond would be unbreakable, even lasting past death.

The benefits of the Spirit Pact were many and powerful. Magician and Dragon nurtured each other, each becoming stronger together than they ever could have apart. Together they ushered in an era of peace and justice, shining all the more brightly for the brief length of time that it lasted. It was shattered when a great evil entered Maple World. We know him today as the Black Mage. When the Black Mage discovered the incredible power of the Onyx Dragons, he coveted it for himself. One night while Freud was away, the Black Mage granted himself an audience with the great Onyx Dragon King.

Unable to understand the source of the Onyx Dragon's great power, the Black Mage asked Afrien to join him and betray Freud and the humans he had in his care. He promised the King that by working together they could become more powerful than anyone could imagine. Afrien tried to explain that the source of the Onyx Dragon's power was the love and trust that came from the Spirit Pact. He was incapable of betraying his friend, nor would he have broken the pact even if he was capable of it. Infuriated, the Black Mage vowed that if the Onyx Dragon would not join him, he would be destroyed.

The Black Mage fumed for a time, researching some way to destroy the Spirit Pact and defeat the Dragon King and his friend. Eventually he concluded that if he could lock Freud in ice forever, this might break the Pact. He launched a devastating attack on the pair, trying to maneuver them into a position where he could launch his horrible curse at Freud. After a fierce struggle, the Black Mage succeeded and managed to cast his devastating spell at Freud.

He hadn't reckoned with the Onyx Dragon's loyalty. When the Black Mage cast his devastating curse at Freud, Afrien nobly threw himself in front of his friend, taking the curse that had been meant for him. The great Dragon was encased in ice. Black Mage had succeeded. The Spirit Pact was broken. His success was not complete, though. Afrien had left behind a great Dragon egg and so long as the egg existed, there was always a chance that a future hero might come along that could re-establish the Spirit Pact. Aran and the others knew it also. Heroically, Aran ordered his fellow heroes to cover Freud's escape. Freud eventually escaped with dragon egg, determined to hide it in a place where it might eventually be found. His friend had sacrificed himself for Freud, Freud could do no less for Afrien. Unknown to him is that his fellow allies, like Afrien, were frozen in ice.

Thus was the Dragon egg hidden away, waiting for a hero with a strong spirit would be able to recreate the Spirit Pact. Now in the Maple World of today, that time has come again. A humble soul, the child of a pig farmer, will reforge old bonds and re-establish the Spirit Pact. The Onyx Dragon will rise again at the side of a new hero who will use that power to fight for peace and justice![/quote]

@hernando585: Don't know if you understood me right. I mean, if you make a Mercedes, your job name is 'Mercedes'. Or for warriors, first it's 'Swordsman' (can't remember?), 'Page', 'Fighter', 'Spearman', etc. For Evans, it's 'Evan', and if you decide to include it, the growth of your dragon. The class itself when you create it is called 'Evan'.

It should probably be a pirate ._. Cause theres a mage, warrior, bowman, thief already.

Furthermore. Freud and the dragon are gone...Evan replace him @_@

I get what you mean, but if you look at it, all the others actually share the same name with their jobs. Freud and Evan don't, but the class is still originally called 'Evan'. It depends if you're thinking names or jobs.

[quote=Laguniroth]It's been known that the original Mage hero was Freud since around the time of Evan's release. I'm not exactly sure what mentioned it or when, but I've been aware of it since at least then and I rarely pick up on anything.[/quote]

Well i've just been notified by a friend that Freud does make an appearance in the Evan quests. So you're point has been backed up more

[quote=ghostme]The man has a point.
If you think about the [b]original[/b] heroes, trying to spell out "MAPLE" wouldn't work.
Freud existed but he was never playable like Evan.

I think it safe to assume that the heroes will spell out Maple because:
A. It's the name of the game
B. Only the playable heroes would spell it out, which is pretty much all of them.

Until the release of Mercedes, not everyone knew Freud existed in the game. He was merely mentioned in quests but was never actually seen as an npc or boss/monster. (Correct me if i'm wrong)[/quote]

I'm going to stick to this storyline where the black mage tries to kill a few heroes and their names have no meaning whatsoever to this "MAPLE". Making a theory out of "MAPLE" by using their class names is more than mind tricks, i remind you, this is a Korean Game. If people who continues to believe that "MAPLE" exists, feel free. So far the patches have come up with these sequins of events : Maplestory 2.0 or Big Bang, Jump(KMS), Chaos, Legend, Rise of Fellowship, and finally Justice. If you want to guess this "L" you should try figuring out what happens next vs the black mage. My story is there will be no L hero, leaving all of you guys stumped. MS's original classes deserve to defeat all since they're the the first ever classes and they deserved to be recognized.

first of all, about this "nobody cares" thing, you're wrong. there's many threads about this from many different people and there are a lot of replies from more people who like to have a discussion about this.

second, he never said he was a hero.

he needs to "get a life" why? because he thought about something and decided to speak his mind about a peeve that slightly annoyed him? many people have pet peeves that are really small. it makes many people happy to speak their mind about the littlest things, and this is one of them. having think about this is just a really small thing he noticed. people think about random things all the time. please explain why he "needs a life"

Freud is long gone. Evan is all there is left of the Dragon Masters.

P.S. Nexon didn't release Freud, did they? They released Evan. The whole M A P L E idea came from the RELEASED Legends classes.

Well presumably the idea is that the world (collectively referred to as "The Maple World&quot was named after these 5 heroes. But that doesn't work at all when you realize Freud is the mage hero not evan. So basically all you have is A, F, M, and P. Try making a word out of that?
