Where would you be in your life without Maplestory?

Say that Maplestory had never come to your country, you had not heard about it, or it was simply never created. How would your life be different? What kinds of games would you be playing, if any?

[quote=ButtersChu]I'd be playing all the other games I play that aren't Maplestory.
I prefer Maplestory though... at least there's some kind of social interaction....

Its funny how many people here think they would've been so much better off without playing maplestory. I doubt any of you would be ANY better of. Because really whether you play maple or not you're still you. YOU dont change no matter what. I can bet if we could actually tell what would've happened without maplestory most of you wouldnt be doing anything much different. It is only a game. It cant change your lifestyle. Most of you probably found another game to play.

No games, maybe only League of Legends. And even then I hate going through with trollers so I would probably be someone who parties and works out who gets also good grades.

As I've been told, it's not good to contemplate if I'm good or not. It just wastes too much energy trying to compare yourself to others. I just know that I've gotten good feedback from all of my accomplishments so far.

I would have spent all the money that i spent on NX on drugs, which would had eventually led to an OD or an arrest, either making my life more stressful, or ending it.

[quote=Dalsia]@Laxmonsterr:

No, here's the explanation.

My parents bought me a guitar for my 12th birthday in 2005. I had just started playing MapleStory (May 2005), and I absolutely hated all music (probably because I was only exposed to pop music from my parents). One night, while watching MapleStory motivational videos, I came across a Korean site (adagio, or something?) that had a video playing Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" in the background. For some reason that song stuck with me, and became the first thing I ever wanted to learn on the guitar. 8 years later I'm now a music performance major for jazz guitar at one of the world's best schools for music in Boston, and I've been given scholarships, awards and guitar chairs in state and university bands.

Without MapleStory I am sure that none of that would have happened. Playing music also made me a lot more social, and was the biggest part of my high school and college life.[/quote]

Hm... Id have spent all that nx money on other games, perhaps even better yugioh cards, might even have made it to nationals. A lot could have been done, but I would choose to do the same thing over again if the option is given. Would be a shame if there was no Maple in my life, Ive made many RL friends through my mmorpg experiences and many boring days became interesting ones.

If I had never played MapleStory I would probably be majoring in history without any real passion in my life, and I would've just been another kid who gets good grades with little other interests.
