Well, I finally figured out why I’m unable to play Maple Story, or any online game for that matter.
The college I’m currently at does not allow any online gaming whatsoever, as it is believed online games will slow down the network.
Basically, I’m absolutely infuriated. The fact that this college forbids online games for this reason just makes me mad. I admit network speed is important, but come on! We have Gateways-powerful laptops 800% better than my old Nobilis!
