Salutations

To start off, this is my first blog, and the reason being is that every time I search for something about maple story, I always end up here. This intrigued me. I used to have a blog on RO diary back in my Ragnarok Online days, and it was fun telling people what happened, especially through the eyes of my character (and I also found a few people to play with).

Now, I don’t have anything particularly interesting to say about my level 18 archer and mage, so I’ll just go off on a general rant about the people I’ve observed.

I started playing Maple Story about a year or so ago, probably more, as a Male character. I spent time playing with my RL best friend, Jason, and his thief. After getting to level 21, i lost my internet connection for a half a year and was unable to play.

Then, two weeks ago, i got my internet back, only to find that somehow, my maple story folder was nuked from my hard drive, including all my screenshots of my wonderfully gay Archer, Thaeres. I was sad, and it took me over 4 days to reinstall it, so much that I had to resort to playing Yohoho puzzle pirates. And when i finally got on….

I couldn’t remember my password.

NOTHING i tried worked, and I was devastated, not only because I couldn’t log in, but because the password retrieval on the website is BROKEN. I had to start over.

And that is where the story really begins.

I logged on to my new character and there were all these new features (Like choosing your characters’ gender when you first log in, which would have given me a female account when i first started (I forgot to change it from male)) that made me think “Wow, if this was my first time playing, I wouldn’t even bother, it’s such a hassle to play for the first time.”

But I love Maple Story, so I kept going.

When I dragged my butt out of Maple Island, I found the Broa server to be less crowded than before. I also found that there was (sadly) a larger population of actual noobs.

Before I continue, let me point out what “noob” REALLY means. IT is a person who spams, kill steals, scams, steals loot that the person was obviously trying to get and does not give it back when asked, defames for no reason, hacks, insults other players and makes then game generally unenjoyable for the honest players. “Noob” is the worst insult you can give to a gamer, and people toss it around like a Caesar salad. Take note on how it’s different from “newb,” short for newbie, a player who is new to the game, and therefore does not know what they are doing.

In any case, I played by my self a lot, and tried not to let noobs get me down, when I realized that the influx of hackers and random defamers was out of hand. I died twice and got randomly defamed by people twice. I’m annoyed.

I do not believe in random Defaming. I believe that it is pointless, and should only be given to people who are such morons that they deserve a -30 fame. This is what friends and guilds are for. MASS HUMILIATION OF IDIOTS.

I do, however, promote and support random Faming. It makes others feel good about helping and being nice, and it helps to circulate good will. It’s better to save your daily faming allowance for people who are good, kind, honest and honorable players then wasting it on people who annoy you a little. Plus, if you defame someone by yourself, the person defamed does not know the perpetrator for the attack and can’t retaliate. However, a fame to a good person improves the gaming community as a whole.

I would like to thank the following for being good, kind players:

yummiecakes – an awesome magician ready to give good information to new palyers ( already knew what she was telling me, but still.

Nathifa, Milla8 and HaLLoWsEvE13 – for providing good, stimulating conversation *snicker* and being helpful in general. I honestly did not know where to get red presents, so thanks for the help guys.

cutegirl1016 – Thanks for helping me gain a few levels. And thanks for your kindness in general.

Kazuki57 – Thanks for being nice, and for not being obnoxious

And to the leader of the luckless guild: I forgot your name, and I don’t have a screen shot with you so i can’t thank you personally, but thank you for the kind words of encouragement and for helping me level and gather loot (ROFL). Perhaps when i get my guild up and running, we can become Allies

I wish I could give all of the above players lots of hugs (or if they dislike hugs, rare items). The gaming world would be better if more people like you guys existed. Thanks for renewing my faith in the multiplayer community.

from here on out, all posts will be in character diary format. I love to roleplay and wish to keep rolepalying alive in MMORPGs.

    Bickering like newlyweds?
    I say that about a few… potential couples at my school; always squabbling and fighting– they’re perfect for eachother!

    It reminds me of Arnold and Helga. Gawd, Nickelodeon’s also going down the pits.

  9. Welcome to MMOT! I used to play MapleStory too, until all the stuff you were talking about got me down. Then I went to MSEA, which had a better community at the time I played, until they started blocking outside-SEA IPs. Now I just play Flyff and Scions of Fate.

    I like roleplaying too, but it’s pretty hard to find anyone in any game who does.

    And you SHALL obey all of the above, or I’ll hunt you down .

    Beware of the fluffy parakeets waving the pillows of feathers at the cow jumping over the orange singing “We wish you a merry Christmas” completely off key, because cows can’t sing for an ice cream watch. The orange screams, and jumps off the cupboard just to find a tsunami screaming that the sky was falling and penguins were riding on sea turtles! Run because a guy in a Halloween costume turned into a dwarf and is currently raiding a sweet shop, and ignoring the coconuts being thrown on him by radioactive lizards! >;O

    Fifteen men on a dead men’s chest!

    Yo-hoo ~ and a bottle of rum!

    What are you doing, you parakeets!

    Don’t squish the captain’s feet!

    The ship’s doctor’s face turned red-

    OH CURSE IT, he cried!

    THE CAPTAIN IS DEAD!

    And the pirates were sued by a bunch of parrots that were actually illegally transported ladybirds who ate beds. The fluffy pillow was impaled by a nuclear weapon when a pirate hypnotized a piece of bread. The pirate jumped off a seashell when he realised that cats were extraterrestrial monsters that were taking over earth, and still couldn’t believe it even when a wall thermometer slapped him in the brain! The deceased captain rose in his coffin and mumbled that he had a great sleep, and he petrified his mourners who were eating purple caterpillars and being drunk. Then he rode on shark, and bought a circus, and called it “JAWS” and made a movie, which led to the prejudice of sharks.©”

    Hi, I’m Dest1, and that quote up there is the welcoming message that one of our fellow MMOers made for newbies like you! ^_^

    Blargh, everyone’s playing on Broa or Scania ;_;

    I hope you enjoy it here at MMOTales! Don’t get into any flame wars.

    Ignore the ignorant people here, they’re mostly BasilMarketers that came from that noob infiltrated site, that come here and screw up our Utopia of Creamy, Chocolately goodness

    And be sure to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling!

    I don’t need proper spelling, grammar, or punctuation cause I’m Dest1. (J/k, J/k)

    Well, as I was saying before, enjoy it here at MMOTales, write good blogs, read the blogs, ignore the ignorant people, and don’t start flaming people, cause that’ll lead to a big fight over something that’s unimportant (most of the time, anyway)

    ~Dest1 (<—-Remember that name! )

  11. Ya know, if every blog was written like that we would have a much more enjoyable community. o_o

  12. Welcome. I’ve seen you’ve met most of us mad people here.

    I’m the rezident werewolf on exam timetables.

  13. And I’m the, erm, resident long-winded person that snaps out at people in bad temper occasionally, but tries to be-
    Oh hell. I’m just me. With muffins.

    Archers! >D We are sexeh, aren’t we not. Are you going to be a hunter or crossbowperson?

    Welcome to MMOtales! Your blogs will definitely be a welcome addition.

    Yes, we are sexeh >D

    Crossbow(wo)man. I’ve loved crossbows for a really long time, but they’re always superior or inferior to bows in every game i ever played, and i like the fact that in MS, they’re equal

    I’ll try not to dissapoint you guys

    Roisin : Welcome to MMOT! I used to play MapleStory too, until all the stuff you were talking about got me down. Then I went to MSEA, which had a better community at the time I played, until they started blocking outside-SEA IPs. Now I just play Flyff and Scions of Fate.

    I like roleplaying too, but it’s pretty hard to find anyone in any game who does.

    Well, if you ever decide to play in Broa of GMS, I’m starting a roleplaying guild, where the only requirements are to roleplay and have an actual name (no numbers or symbols, except for underscores to make a firstname lastname type name). so

    SomeOtherGuy : I may sound incredibly naive but, where do you get red presents?

    you get red presents from candles, but I have yet to find any.

  15. true, all too true. Love the fact that you actually defined noob for what it is instead of what its now used for. I’m finding the good old mass humiliation does not work anymore though due to the same people handing out random defaming have guilds of people just like them selves out to ruin the game. I had two things invoulving fame today that finly illistrate the point. Today I watched some poor girl get defamed about 6 times because she had defamed one for ks her. I told her to report them along with the contents of the messages they were spamming but i’m not sure she did. As i said in mine and you made clear I dont know that nexon even cares. Anyways another example was what I might blog on tommarow, some level 15 thief asked for 2k to buy his weapon. I gave it too him as I had just picked up a scroll and was feeling pretty good but than he defamed me. Honest mistake right, sept for the laughing, so much for a charatable day.

  16. Welcome to MMOtales!

    Seems like lots of Broans are popping up here. >;D

  17. HAHA! You’re so funny x) Naht. >_<
    Anyway, quit retaliating and spamming up his blog. Just accept the fact!
