Maplestory..

man...
was surfing the net and decided to look back at a game i used to play
MAPLESTORY!


ah...the days where i could just sit in front of my computer non stop
grinding my character,just wishing that EXP bar would rise faster
pressing spacebar to loot items and mesos
having to travel far and wide and through so many channels
just to get a cosy little "hotspot" to train my lightning mage

the fascinating worlds and hypnotic music
that this online game had to offer,
with each character customized to your own liking
those big watery sparkling eyes
saying "please don't go offline and stay with me..please?"

and of course,
the annoying two words that people LOVE to abuse,KS(Kill Steal)
"spot taken,change channel.dont ks me....blah blah blah"
really gets on people's nerves.

I used to like the game alot,
until they introduced EXP cards,
whereby if you're just willing to
fork out that extra amount of cash
to buy the maple cashcard,
ur EXP will go whoooosh!
just like ur cash.

To me,i dont mind spending hours training and training,
to earn my EXP points,
however,if you were to take THAT away and make it all cash based..
really spoils the fun
id rather save the money and spend it on something more worthwhile...
however,they are a company afterall
and im sure they can't possibly maintain the game for free

Its all business tactics i guess.
getting you hooked on to the game,
till you achieve a high level
and THEN they introduce cashcards to boost ur EXP
and everyone else is using them,
thus not wanting to lose out,
you head on to the nearest 7eleven
and take out that $10.50 to purchase the Maplestory cashcard.
but its never enough,trust me.

having said all these
im really impressed by the creativity
and effort
placed into this MMORPG game
captivating game indeed.
but im glad im over it.
haha phew

maybe there are some other MMORPG
that i might fall in love with
but i'd never part with my cash for online money anymore.
Never!!!
