Well, I’m happy to see that some of the people I helped out as newbs have come all the way around, and taken my old spot while I’m off in ludi and ossyria. It finally happened late last night (about 1 AM my time). I was talking with one of the friends I made who is now a level 34 fighter. When I met him, he was a level 9 beginner trying to become a warrior. I escorted him to first ellinia, then perion, then back to ellinia and gave him some warrior equipment. He buddied me, and we became good friends. I also met several of his friends, who are now on my list also. They aren’t quite so far along, being halfway through the 2X levels instead of 3X. Each and every one of them is a nice person, and is enjoying their charachter and the experience of playing maple with other nice people.

So back to the story. Last night, my warrior friend signed on, and I asked him what he was doing. It turns out, he was helping newbs that had gotten into sleepywood on accident, or needed to get to a different town and couldn’t afoord the taxi. He also helped several of them level. Afterwards, we started talking about how it was to help people who aren’t yet as strong as you.

Yeah. It feels good to have someone come all the way around from being escorted and helped out financially, to doing it for others.
