VerrKol Update

Hey everyone, I just thought I'd stop in briefly to let you know what's been up with me.

I'm very happy to say that my mother has made a full recovery and has been pronounced cured of breast cancer as of Saturday evening! I myself have returned to UCSD (commuting) and am trying to finish out my final year to get my degree so I can finally move out. Let me tell you, I love my family but I am so tired of living with them. Imagine if every time your mother asked you to do something and you say, "In a minute" and she replies with, "I have cancer so do it now". Some things are just not fair.

Since I know the next question on your minds is, "Will you come back to Maple?". For now, the answer is no. I'm pretty disenchanted with the current state of BMs and Maple in general. I am instead spending my free time on LoL so if you're looking to game with me just add VerrKol

I'm a little annoyed with myself for not updating the BM/MM guide, but not enough to do anything about it. I can't make the effort I would need to be satisfied with the results. If anyone is interested in doing something with it, PM me and we'll work it out.

@bluebomber24: Hit me up if you want some advice. The learning curve is steep, but still fun to play amongst newbs

[quote=airforce1]I say this as a compliment, it's nothing like Maple. It's highly competitive, but also has avenues for goofing off (ARAM) and can be fun to play with friends of any skill level. The most important thing about it is attitude. Many people will say that the community is toxic and full of ragers, whiners, and feeders but I generally see that most people are interested in getting better and genuinely try.

The other important thing is each game is 20~50min long. After starting one game, I feel no obligation to continue playing (I'm looking at you ubiquitous farming and 2x events) and can just come back when I have free time again.[/quote]

Thanks for the info. LoL might be my second MMO I've ever played.

[quote=airforce1]@tifa Yea, I was on briefly to claim some event stuff and once to do RLH, but I just couldn't get back into it.

Given my track record of quitting for a few months/years then coming back with a vengeance, it could happen but I really doubt it. I'm much more satisfied with LoL than I ever was with Maple.[/quote]

@Elufu

I don't play this game anymore because I don't invest time or money with anything that has managers with profuse incompetence attributes.

Nice to hear the good news, @Verrkol!
Also, @bliebomber24 is also on a hiatus from maplestory, also he did help get the AB and AFA proc issue get fixed.
There are just a few glitches with arrow blaster/platter which I am trying to get on the known issues list, ATM.

@Elufu I'm not lurking, I post stuff too!

@bluebomber24 would obviously be ideal, but I also know he can be pretty lazy
