I’ve been thinking with the sound of beautiful music in my ears. I think everyone will agree, or at least played Final Fantasy VII, that First Love (instrumental) by some Japanese Singer/Composer (Sorry I forgot who sung that song).
Anyway, I’ve been thinking, for the pass few days now, that I have accomplished nothing. Sure I leveled once, and that’s all that I’ll ever do. Of course I’m not letting go of my goals, but it just seems to far for me to grasp at the moment. I already started my new job, and I’m about to go to school for Art and Literature.
At times I wonder if I’ll have time to type a story or just hang out on maple story. Or even see any of my friends at all. I guess I brought this upon myself. Working two jobs, (about to go to) school, paying off some debt. Remember kids; it’s not easy being an adult. Especially a reckless, semi-partying, girl like myself.
For leisure time, I just lay the time away reading a book, or a manga. I don’t even watch TV anymore. I seldom go on the computer, and if I do. I just check my email. I almost forgot this site existed with all the hoo-haa and crap that’s just taking over my life. I guess that’s a part of growing up, I suppose.
Remember when you were a young child and you would always say “One day I’ll grow up and I don’t have to listen to you anymore! I can do whatever I want when I’m an adult!!” It’s funny how we grew up with wanted to grow up faster than others… then as we get old… we want to become children again. I suppose for older people who play Maple Story, 20 – (at the max) 30, try to get away from all those ‘grown up things’ and just want to be a kid again… through a game. Any game really.
My shocking realization of what just happened to me in the past week stopped me in my tracks. I have a job, I pay bills, I got to college, and I hardly (if at all) hang out with friends. I suppose with a new life coming into this world in my family, another’s life is about to be taken away. it hurts a lot to have that embedded in one’s mind, especially when that someone’s life, you love so dearly, is about to end. The affect of it all is weighing me down, it’s as though I don’t want to do anything anymore but just sleep for as long as I can before I can wake up and realize that I have to repeat my life, day after day.
I suppose that I play PC and console games to get away from the ordinary. From time to time I play Jak X combat racing with a dear friend online, then I talk with those on mIRC, then play maple story… all through the night, or at least… as long as my body can stay away long enough for me to do all those things. But most of you who might be reading this, especially those who are under 17… You guys have to so good in life, at the moment. Most of you don’t have to worry about working on time and paying bills, and all you guys have to do is go to school and get an education, and then live the rest of you life for that day. Us old folks have it different… I guess I can’t complain much about it. After all… I’m about to hit the big 20 in a matter of months.
Hell, time sure does fly by…
What trouble me most, about this whole… ‘life style’ of mine is that will I have time to do then things that I want to do and the things I need to do. The two are very difficult to balance… I just pray that I could manage.
To be honest with all of you… I haven’t been around MMO Tales in a while, and I look around and everything’s changed (again). And more new people arriving as each day passes by. I guess that whole era of story writing is over, i suppose, and the new era of drawing and comic making is here.
I’ve read some comics by Ganzicus, call me old if you must… but I do not understand the plot of each comic. To be honest, and I’m not trying to hurt anyone… I just don’t find it funny. As for those who draw… man you guys can really draw. Your skill with a pencil surpasses mine, and its good to know that everyone is putting his or her talents in good use.
Well Moving on
I went on the new Maple Story website, very different now goes to show you how long Ive really been out the loop. There, Ive read an article called Promises Fulfilled. It shocked me. In a nutshell, Nexxon/Wizet hired more GMs and banned a good lump sum of hackers. My only suggestion is that they should do what Maple Sea is doing When Banned, they Charged Real Life Money! Or so Ive heard from an UNreliable resource.
Well, I think its great that Nexxon/Wizet finally got off their asses and did something what the people been asking for for MONTHS.
Now since Ive been gone for a hot minute, I wonder who are the new people, what scandals (if any) occurred, whos new whos not etc.
Oh yeah For all those who leveled, and posted about it, Congratulations And those who got their first Cash Shop item, congratulations. Congratulations for everything to everyone from me.

2:57am (EST) Good Night <3
If this is good night, now, it’s night for me. Soo means that either you just posted this, OR no one posted here for about 12 hours or more. Hmm, adults. You’re right about the part about wanting to grow up faster, but so far, all I wan is to be old enought to go out myself with friends, go school. Not forgetting, mabye be try working, but not paying all the bills.
But it’s impossible to countuine like this, as . . . . i not too sure why I’m saying all this. * feels werid *
Good night to you too anyway.
Thanks for grating me on my lvling of three lvls in three weeks. Fastest I ever done. Lvl 26 btw.
Happy birthday!
(few months early)
This sounds like a goodbye letter
o.O
Also, I gots le banned so I gotsta start over. . .
And I sometimes don’t get ganzi’s random fireballs and such. .
But we all have to look at what that dudes posted up cuz its just curiousity (or to see if you’ve figured them out yet)
~Sycrus
P.S. Im level 23 I started Late Friday Night
Should be 4x by next week (Im a fast leveller please dont assume things)
Yeps, if you are banned, you need to pay to reactivate your account in MapleSEA.
On a separate note, you sound extremely pressured, like one of those sucidal emos (a crude example, but I can’t think of any others). You should try to lighten up a bit.
Life just happens. Don’t think too much about it.
Yeah. Having to be an adult sucks. :/ I wonder how I would think back about this period of my life, and those before this, when I grow even older; after all, I have less than two years more to hit that big 20. (So old. OLD. Urgh.)
SEA has a easier time with the hackers, because they can easily localise their customer support/ services in a small area, versus a GLOBAL community. So, yeah. You pay about, um, I think a set sum of money per level of your banned character. So you might end up paying over one hundred dollars to get back a 3rd job character.
I don’t know, cheer up? Smile sometimes, and try to indulge yourself (playing computer games, devouring some cookies etc) sometimes. No point doing all that you need to and end up going crazy to ruin it all. The part about repeating your day over and over again, I feel it too, especially when I crawl out of bed and wonder what’s the point of going through all that again when it will be as bad as the previous day?
And sometimes, when I’m more clear-headed, I think about it this way: I always get to look forward to the happy end of that day, no matter how temporary the relief is, or how slight the ‘happiness’ is. Sounds stupid, but I like to think about it as making full use of the idea of relativity. ><
Ah! Never ment to sound like it was a good-bye letter. And yes I was a little down, having a death in the family and all. And no I’m not deserting anyone. X___x and SORRY for being EMO, even though I wasn’t trying too. . . and Suicidal, PALEASE!
I just have a lot of my plate and I don’t have a spoon to assist me, if you know what I mean.
*hands over a spoon*
If only life was as easy as emoting. :X Still, I guess most of us hope that you will feel better soon.
Amen to that, even if I’m not a Christian.
I love you o-o;;
I wish I could be as organized as you when I grow up, if I ever.
Me Organized!? I’m so far from that. . . however I’m trying to change that.
And I never thought THIS of all things, would make it to the front page. . . .
Sorry about that. I’m level, 56-ish. I don’t remember. And I’m never around due to school and two jobs.
Eh. I’m not quite an adult yet, so I suppose I’m lucky. I hate typing on these weird type-y things. I can’t quite type smoothly, and everything comes out block-y. How do you people do it?
My grandpa might die soon. He’s not doing so well.
For the “Being a kid again” thing, well, I suppose I know what you mean.
I don’t know how you can stay up so late. I’d be sleeping if I were you.
What level are you now? I suppose I should just check.
Anyway, if life’s hard, well, maybe drag a friend to work with you, or get them to join you in your job? Then, you can talk with them and stuff while you’re working. Also, sleeping helps take away stress. And if that doesn’t work, well, you can always visit us.
, This is beginning to sound like a response to a good-bye letter.
And, I don’t know about fixing disorganized-ness. If you’re disorganized, chances are, you’ll revert to being disorganized again, just from habit. I know, I’ve tried to organize stuff, but everything slowly drifts back to the way it was after a few months.
With that said, well, all I can really say is good luck to ya’.
, Oh, right. Today (January 19th, 2006) they banned about a hundred hackers. Not exaggerating. Maybe that’ll make you feel better, though I still see many, many more.
The hackers are dissipating. There’s only one known hack that I can see so far, where the person has godmode, and can hit a monster from anywhere on the screen. Also, that “Hold your attacking button for a few minutes and it’ll jam” thing doesn’t work on the hackers anymore. These hacks are the only I see, but really widespread. Botting, however, is another thing. Botters are everywhere now, and they use the hack along with the bot, too.
I suppose I shouldn’t bother saying, as you’re just about never on. But, hey, look who’s talking, right?
Edit: Man, I’m screwed now. You deleted your characters chart? Why?
Edit again: New hacks abound. They can fly, vac, and do that annoying hit everything on screen thing again, and do the electric slide. Eep. And they can fly. It’s hard to report hackers now.
I made a new character. Its a lvl 43 Hunter named D4rkLotus. Add me when ur on next time.
