How I got addicted to it all~

Start of the summer, end of Middle School.. Signing onto AIM one day, 2 of my best friends had recently joined MapleStory and after a few beggings and convicing.. My best IRL friends Faye & Bobby finally convinced me to play MS and me, being the abusive one out of the 3, chose iPWNurMOM as my first char and so the story begins..

After finally accomplishing the goal of 150 mesos to leave Maple Island, I msg’d Bobby, saying, I’m out! I’m finally outt!! but he had to go before he could walk to Lith Harbor so I ran across 2 people and asked them about what to do, they replied, well.. what job would you like? I said.. I want to wear what he has! [one of them had a starry red bandana] so they told me how to raise my stats, I was like, awesome, just to start training! The next day, my IRL best buds came on and started training me and convinced me to make a mage so.. that’s what I became. Lol. This is where I screwed up and started over in.. ipwnmommies.

Mkai, so I was determined to make the perfect character but all I remembered from when someone told me I messed up in iPWNurMOM was that to have my stats be 4/5 but I forgot which ones and stupididly, I got 4 LUK and 5 INT. Lol. So screwed up there having ended up with 7 STR and 8 DEX. I stopped this character at level 18 which at the time was gigantic and a humongous [<== I spelled that wrong.] accomplishment.

H’okay, this character had to be PERFECT no matter what so I made sure I did everything right having my friend Em whisper me back and forth telling him everything about my character including HP, MP, EXP, every single stats, running every single thing by his nose before putting points into anything. IGN was ismackmoms :]

It was a perfect char and the best character I’ll ever have. I was proud of every single level I knocked down and I met my best friend at level 1xish. BlueClericEX. He also got me into the best guild ever, Aristos. It was just. So friendly and. It had that knowledge that we’d never fall apart.. too bad the feeling faded along with the people.. How could I ever forget Tony.. He was the one who leveled with me, who gave up spots in PQ so I could finally PQ, the one who hunted down items I needed and the one who gave me mesos when I needed. This was the time of friend that you could give something or recieve something without the burden of returning something.. So, we as clerics, leveled throughout our 30s together, our 40s and then finally reaching the big 5-0. Pretty fantastic. But seeing how he made a sin, I had a mule that was also a sin a while back as a mule.. islapbabies. We were both pretty bored of our clerics and thought to.. ‘take a break’ from our magey-ness and play our sins for a while.

At this point, my sister joined in and started with us.. Lsmackmoms [cheap imitation of my cleric<3], ArchSinAngel and me, islapbabies. We owned every Pig Beach channel, KSing whoever got in our way, and breezed to leve 21, ready to PQ. Tony was an awesome clicker [no AC~!] and we had to always get an extra person since there was only 3 of us. At this point, we met a friend.. Dan, known as Zabzuza077 in Windia in his warrior mule, everyday [considering this was summer.] we’d PQ, every earring was 100 blue potions, every scroll was worth thousands to us and every pot was something to savour for as long as possible. We eventually grew out of PQ and started trainng ourselves.

And in the mist of all this.. Aristos.. the guild Tony had introduced me into was disbanded. A stupid fued between a Jr. Master and Master tore the guild apart. So.. I made my own guild.. Runaways. I know, corny right? Well.. a friend of mine, Mike wanted a guild and asked me if I wanted too, seeing how Aristos was the only guild I’d have ever been to at the time, I was eager and seeing how we already had a few members of the future guild, I’d accepted the thought. I paid for half the guild, which at the moment was a lot, so I was Master<3 In the guild, it consisted of myself, Crystal [Lsmackmoms.], Tony [ArchSinAngel.], Mike [Htekim.], Zoray, and this sin that we borrowed just to create the guild. Eventually, the guild grew. Tony’s brother had joined also.. [Flamdra09.] and so did his IRL best friend, Lance [Iightsvvord.] And Lance had met a friend.. Kunai [FastKunai.] and he became an asset to the guild. We were all happy, always expecting each other to be on, always having something to talk about..

So, when Tony, the last of all of us to hit level 35, we were all prepared to PQ.. all at level 35 😛 The previous Aristos guild leader, Elise [heiresshope.] had hooked us up with an ACer leader, Johnny.. [Lndervir.] Our first PQ consisted of me, Tony, Crystal, Elise, Johnny and another guy named Johnny, I forgot his IGN : Eventually, we needed another good PQ leader to get us in so Tony was leader when Johnny had to go seeing how he was on the other side of the world to us. We PQ’d rather often and when Tony had to go which was usually at 8, I had a bestersetseterstt buddy.. DARKnAIONE. [Rich.] He was non-ACer and he was mad good at clicking, we PQ’d several times into the late night.

Finally, most of us accomplished leveling to 50. Crystal, being the lazy bone she was, she didn’t care much for levels but was a blast to be around. I started training at Hectors, Tony at DSGs for Tobis and Crystal stalking us and suiciding 😛 Our guild was barely hitting their 4xs at the moment so the rest of the guild PQ’d together

Well.. Happiness never lasts forever.. Tony unexpectedly came on one night, me eager to see him after his unexcused absense for a week spamming him tons of love, said that.. the game didn’t mean much to him anymore and him along with Lance and Willy.. quit. This was. A gigantic shock to me and even though it was just a game.. I took it personally seeing how someone I spent 3 months with almost everyday was cut off. I quit for 3~4 months, I lost track. Runaways was also disbanded before I quit seeing since my best friend had quit, I had no longer wanted to share the happiness of the guild. With anyone. :'[

After finally being persuaded to come back to MS from my friend Johnny [Lndervir.] I gave in, I was level 60, same as Tony when he quit. I was slowly leveling to lvl 62 before quitting leveling. I was eventually persuaded [yet again] by my buddy list after lots of yelling at me, gasping my 2 levels a month, to start leveling. Again. Hitting level 68 within a few weeks before yet again, quitting leveling. This time I met a special boooy~ :3 He encouraged me to level and trained with me at Zombies continiously seeing that was the only way to get me to train. We eventually got together 😉 3 months tomorrow<3

So finally hitting hermit, I was tired of leveling but with the last bit of energy I had in me, I hit level 72 :] Then being eager to snag another set of steelies, my first set was given to be by my friend Jay [RangerIeXL] as a congrats prezzie to level 40 x], I trained at Red Drakes, I found my second set from Tauromacis though when I was taking a break from training.~

Now, here I am, level 78, islapbabies the hermit eager to hit level 80 and hopefully soon so I can strut around in my Pireta looking smexy and ready to be KO’d by a Ludi monster.~x3

I’m probably missing some details about guild.. events in between while I’ll make seperate blogs about later….eventually.. 😛
