if you couldnt made to 200 in those 5 years, you will never hit even 180.

Close to 8 years and 178. It's altitis, a lack of motivation of leveling half the time, and being on and off a lot.

Played since early pre-bb and my highest is a lvl 174, i guess having around 18 characters doesnt help either.

7 Years 1 level 183 a couple of 160+ chars, and a lot of 130+ chars.
If you don't train you're not going to level duhh

I've played since the year after the beta, but I'm only level 172 because I saw that maplestory became a pure grinding game. I basically quit because of this, but I still like to make money and stuff, so I can do some boss runs.

a little over 7yrs and I'm 175. Mostly because I love questing more so than grinding and the game has had a tendency to have dumb events so i've quit a lot of the years

I've been playing since Beta and my highest leveled character is still under 140.
Two years could pass and I still doubt he'd ever reach or exceed level 150.

Since Beta, my highest level is a beginner at 171...

I never got to 200 on my DS because I got banned. It was right before Unleashed hit, too. 9 days. I coulda made it.

5 years level 134. ive just been on and off and trying to merch. honestly im getting tired of this game. I don't have the motivation to level, and when i do i get bored easily. To me, grinding is just pressing 1-2 keys for hours. I've been trying to make some mesos to get me back into this game, but I'm just not having fun. I've been playing since i was ten and that was amazing. learning about the maple world and the amazing times I shared with my brother. but alas, my brother has quit and hes about to go to college and it makes me want those times back. I know we can never go back to the past but this thread made me reminisce about it.

Playing since '07, highest level is a 178. Lost a lot of playtime, when my friends quit. Lost motivation because of poor high level content. I play like at most 5 hours a week. 200 isn't really a goal of mine. The last few weeks, I "play" just for the ring.

Lol my thread on "what's your highest character" got less responses than this and it was basically the same thing.

Yes, I start in early 2007 and my highest is level 131.

7 Years, still 171, I can reach 200 easily, but I just like to chat with friends and fool around.

Been a fairly frequent player from pre-BB with this character as my main. As for reasons...
- I like to try every new class that comes out, even the bad ones... and get them to 4th job (as a lazy trainer, this takes a while)
- Never party or go to places like LHC to grind.

I'm looking forward to RLH coming back soon so I can get a couple of more levels

lemme see here...started in around 2005 with my NL and im lev 142 o.o so yeah I'm behind u by 1 lev! lol. reason: keep dying, dont really care about level (mostly damage, so i spend most my time merching ), aaaand I quit for 6 months here and there (sometimes years).

Played on and off since 07, I've probably lost the passwords and pins to at least 10 different accounts.
Whenever I say "I'm gonna make a level 200 =D" I get side tracked and say "Maybe later"

I've been playing since 06 with breaks, not a single character above 150, I just become too lazy and make a new character, but I plan on changing that with my phantom

I've had this Mercedes since release and haven't broken 170 still I'm just too lazy to play the game or train anywhere efficient because I'm weak

Seventh year and only passed 170 about a week ago thanks to Evo World and the Kaleido Spinner coupon quest.
~All my other chars are under 150, few over 130.
The only reason why I'm not leveling is because I'm stubborn and made myself several goals to reach BEFORE leveling to 200.

100 All Traits
~Obtain Epitome of Beauty
5000 fame
As high an Honor level as I can reach on medals
Reject invites from most famous Beran guilds

6-7 years and i finally got to 104. I came back after a long break (lvl 72 ish) and it took me 2 weeks to get to 104. Of course pre big bang i was a noob and put ap into LUK and INT, so i got a low damage buccaneer now.

Me .___. My highest levels are 181, 173 and 148. It's quite depressing, since so many people have multiple level 200s.

I have one level 200 and I'll be 200 on this one soon too.
Could've had more but I was just extremely lazy and got my first 200 a couple months ago.
