To want something unrealistic
To care for something
To dream about something so untrue
To wonder about what tomorrow has to hold.
Two words.
Maple Story
Ever wondered how much time u spent on that game?
It’s a game.
It’s just a game.
You keep repeating that to yourself.
To meet up with pixel characters and to form something called love. The pixel characters are not realistic, yet the love you have given is.
To wonder that if the person behind the pixel character is somewhat
pretty?
cool?
tall?
short?
fat?
thin?
. . . and the list goes on.
MapleStory has started off with an online game.
soon, turned into a messenger. (msn or aim)
soon, has turned into a drug.
Friends on MapleStory mean nothing at that stage. You just want level. To acomplish a dream to because a virtural world’s number 1.
Then to realise this has no impact whatsoever on real life.
Sooner of later, everyone of you will quit. You will soon enough realise that it seemed like only yesterday you just leveled to level 2.
In a blink of an eye, you will remember it seemed like 2 seconds ago, you found maplestory and started hitting snails.
Our moments are forever lasting. Remember all these things.
Like the moment you got scammed, hacked, betrayed.
In what?
MapleStory.
Every thought that moment when you got hacked/scammed/w/e that your family members (mom or dad) or anyone you live with had or is still working there butt off to suply enough money for you to just PLAY MapleStory.
Yes, True, MapleStory is free, but the internet costs, the time you turn on your computer, the time you leave it there to go afk costs.
Your using this time life has given you to make new friends, to live in the real world, to face upto yourself. Instead, you take it for granted and use it to play MapleStory.
MapleStory is predictable.
Life isn’t
MapleStory is vitural
Life is serious
One day, you’ll end up like me, yes, i deleted MapleStory and I was addicted. Too addicted.
Not because i wanted to level but because i loved unreal action. I loved how my character was a whole new me.
I loved how i can actually make myself prettier than i usually am. Alot prettier.
I loved how i could act.
I loved to care for unreal things.
I loved using exagerated expressions.
I loved to feel protected.
yet i hated to face reality.
This blog holds a very strong message.
Enjoy MapleStory because it has broguht a whole new world full of surprises, a new you.
You learn from other people, and learn from your own mistake. Make new friends. Make friends whom you have never met face to face. MapleStory is what keeps us kids going. MapleStory is something better than homework. MapleStory is something fun.
Yet, all the hard/boring stuff are what gets us prepared.
The message is that you may enjoy Maple, your parents may let you play, but sometime later of sooner, you’ll quit. Once you turn back and look at your level xx or xxx account, and that time, you are living an awesome life.
If you had quit maple perhaps a few years sooner? you would’ve lived a better life. To think that you’ve wasted this time. Maple in the end, will always stay Maple.
You are the one thats changing. To find new games, To enjoy your life.
It is BECAUSE everyone is different, that’s what keeps the game interesting.
Ofcourse i hadn’t written this so you should all quit ^_^
Use the game to show off.
Use the game to enjoy it.
Use the game when your tired.
Use the game for your own enjoyement.
I just wanted everyone to open up there eyes, and know what sacrafices their all making.
man, i make myself sound so emo here ,
><
Waitaminute, you and mapl1eholic is the same person!? DUN DUN DUNNNN
And nice blog. Exactly what I wanted to say. Beneath the pixilated characters lie reality.
That brings on to my next theater-rama! WARNING THIS IS FICTIONAL. THIS IS USSED TO MAKE A POINT, NOT TO OFFEND PEOPLE
Brad Pitt:”Meh, work is getting boring. I’ll go on the internet. Huh, what is this maplestory?”
out of curiosity Brad Pitt downloads and makes a character.
Brad Pitt: “Shweet, cool there’s a hot pixilated lady.”
Lady: “Sup handsome.”
Brad Pitt: “Nothin much.” In his mind: Dang, I’m flirting with someone online, oh well, like Angelina would ever find out!
So they become gfs and bfs and make a whole maple family.
Lady in reality: though her avater looks uber cute with frilly hair and pretty outfits, in reality, she was a 79 yr old fat junkie bartender/maid/taxi driver/h00ker/terrosrist.
My gosh, Brad Pitt had cheated on the oh so beautiful Angelina Jolie for such an ugly person.
u idiot nobody cares about that crp we only play maple cause we hate the realworld.maplestory is a place to relax and showoff for kids.we dont become some freak that only wants to lvl.beside its not like maplestory destroys r lives as a kid.kids dont go to work and all that crp all we do is go to school, and maplestory lets us escape from reality into a a 2-d game, etc)point is we quit but lets enjoy the time we have until we become like liketoks and tiger and suuushi,liketoks was banned for no reason(he was my friend)tiger and suuushi r freaks , liketoks was good not evil!but now im gonna be a follower of clericzoe, go clerics!
ummm. . .
*cough cough*
*runs*
Lol. I yes/no agree with angelwitwing. I barely play Maple anymore, but I go on, just for fun when I want to relax of just to check if there were new cash shop items. <3 I luv cash shop.
Well i just skimed but i feel the same way. Not emo just real sad,
Because we can not rewrite what we have done in our lives we are stuck. No one that loves you and no one to love you. Your parents your siblings, no. Maplestory gives me and you i guess that confort of belonging and being loved. Because someone loves your character you feel happy this is very understandable i see, a word of advice from you though. Don’t get lost into this game like me. Please don’t, It’s not worth, I lost my mothers trust, i abused my fathers trust, my brother hates me, and my sister couldn’t care less about me anymore just because i played this game. Word of advice from a heavy playing maplestory player, Don’t get sucked into the virtual world. Even if you do get good grades like me a 4.0. still, Just dont, -Kataro
You know, you definitely fall into a good point here in saying that we spend a lotta time on maple story. I myself train really hard but i’m glad to say that at least my friends in maple are my friends in real life and we hang out outside of maple story thank God. Though i really might want to get to that level, I always know which comes first. My friends and famliy. Don’t get sucked into the abyss everyone! Maple story is fun, but it’s not something we can’t live without.
lol, me addicted to Maplestory, but i don’t play a lot.

What’s wrong about having an escape?
As teenagers and young adults, we are too childish to know to just accept ourselves. We still want to hide who we truly are, and are waiting for the day that we can unleash our souls.
But for now, we’re too afraid.
Online interaction gives us that freedom- that opportunity to help us become who we want without getting hurt.
Besides, no matter where you go, what you do, how old or wise you are, you will always think. . .
That being in another posistion would be more interesting than what you are at that instant.
When we say goodbye, we will. We have to rely on our love for each other to keep us connected through other means or in our memories.
It’s all about the <1+2
colon:
It’s a sacrafice that people are making, yet not knowing they are making it. Though not all are negative. It brings joy into our lives, though the point of this blog is to show people to open up there eyes, and everytime they play MapleStory, they shall realise what sacrafices their making, it’s up to them to make their choice in life.
Their decision.
suddenly, i want to quit maplestory. NEVER!
Never thought of it like that,
chicken, no, don’t quit maplestory, but once you delete it or lose it (like me) You will feel worse. Feel empty, Feel lost,
Something that’s horrible but remember, i didn’t write this blog so u can quit maple ^_^
It’s for you to understand what you are doing.
JaYasha: I’m glad you see through and understand.
I was addicted to Maple for about a year. I’d wake up at 3AM everyday, even on school days, to play. I had a Maple family, and all my best friends were on Maple. I’m still pretty much addicted, given today I woke up at 4AM to go on MMO Tales, and later on go on Maple.
I understand what you’re trying to say. And Maple has truly become a virtual reality for me. I hated reality, and I dreaded going to social gatherings. I longed to “change channels” in life a lot of times. In my mind at school I always was thinking about Maple and, “Oh I don’t like this lunch table. . .I just want to change channels.”
I thank you for putting this blog up. It has touched me. But I’m still playing, because all my friends are on Maple. I barely have friends outside of Maple. Maybe just because I skip out on so many things that are happening NOW in REAL LIFE because I’m at home on my butt playing Maple Story.
I enjoy Maple a lot. On the first day I played it, my main goal was not to level, but to make friends. And I did. We even exchanged phone numbers. And I love my MS friends so very much.
I know one day I’m going to have to quit MS. And I really dread that day because these days I’m living right now are the best I’ve ever had. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been with my Maple Story friends. So it’s sad to know that one day all these people that I love will dissapear, and it will just be memories and screen shots.
That’s why this blog made me want to. . .
GET ALL THEIR NUMBERS :O
Lmao. But seriously. That’s the only way I can keep in touch after these days are long gone. Thank you for writing this blog ^^
You have pointed out one of the most important things all of us must realize at sometime. Maple is a place where we can let out our stress, relax, have fun, forget about reality and all our problems. But yes, we must have to go back to reality. It is not just a must. There will be a time when we will want to, when we will wonder why we spent so many hours online. Maple is a game, and that is all it is, and we must realize that. For me, it is a place where people will listen to my problems without telling me I’m looking for attention. The friends I have made are wonderful, yes. But the friends in real life that I have are also quite wonderful, and I know they’re not some stripper dudes xD Honestly, I love all of them so very much. Get their numbers, keep in touch, live a life. Many of my closest Maple friends have moved on, making me want to move on, but I stay for all of my 50 buddies. I always thought I was addicted, but compared to some, I really am not. My parents make quite a point to not let me on enough to get me addicted. You have brought out all the values of life and the values of the game. Thank you so much for pointing this out to the ‘world’ xDD <333
