When I heard that my brothers friends started playing Maple Story again I decided… “Why not open that old book?” I just recently decided to take an extended break from Trickster and got my summer vacation off to a bad start and was stuck being bored at home. Why not start playing Maple Story?

So right off the bat I turn up in Ludibrium and remember the annoying song it plays. That was a great start. The second thing I got myself to do was sit through the boat ride back to Ossyria. I chatted it up with a fellow on the boat about me not playing for a year. I said something along the lines of “I remember when Ludibrium was new…” and got a reply of “Wait… Ludi wasn’t always here?!?” All I had to say to that was “Wow.”

Going through my invintory I saw about 500 leathers. In my eyes that was about 500k, but apparently in every single other players eyes it was only 250k. That upset me too. Also I found my way into a guild because some dude needed 6 people to start it and only had 2. After a total hour of waiting I got in as the lowest level by about 13. That gives me something to work for (I guess…) I just hope I don’t get kicked out for being on vacation two days from now.

After chasing Jr Sentinals and Jr Kitties and checking out the Japanese Folk Town (I think thats what it’s called…) I decided to go back to Ludibrium to train on Ratz. I managed to pull off gaining a level by the time the day was done and rested at level 33.

I can only wonder what my ‘Mapeling’ experience will be like from now on…
