Long time no see? Anyway as some of you know, I did try Mabinogi, got to lvl 19. And now I’m slowly drifting away from it.
Going,Going,Going….Down the river of MapleStory. That’s right! I”m drifting back!
You see… I started playing Maplestory.Got to lvl 20 and noticed “Time consuming MY FOOT!.” By lvl 4x It was hard to
train by playing 1-2 hours a day. I bumped it up to 2-3 on a school night, 3-4 on a weekend. Harmless right?
By the high 40’s I bought my first 25$ NX card. I was so happy as soon as I got off the city bus, I ran like a humming bird back home to charge it. I began acting social too, not like I never talked before, but I just started… Talking… Example “Hi” turned into “Hai”, “Haha” turned into “LOL”, “…” turned into F6. 5x is when it all changed,
I started to play for 6-7 hours on a schoolnight, and Who-Knows how long on a weekend. I grew tired.
Short-tempered. And I developed light purple circles around my eyes. And by lvl 60, I preformed my first “Skip.” I didn’t get caught, but I thought ” No, I’m not THAT crazy.” I decided in order to make Dragon Kinght I’d have to increase my hours some more, But being 13 and all I couldn’t fit anymore time without my mom finding out.
I started to play at night. Waiting till everyone went to sleep. And then sneak back on the computer. I would start at 11pm and end at 5-6am. I was hella tired when I got to school. I usually slept at lunch/recess. I fell behind in school because of my excessive playing, not by much though, but enough to be called to the Guidance office. I couldn’t tell them what I had been doing imangine all those faces I’d have to tell my reasons too. My mom, My Dad, My Teachers. I just couldn’t.
When I got to 70, more hours were pushed into Maple, more school days were skipped. At 73 I “quit,” 1 month later I came back and got to 75. That’s when I pushed the uninstall button.
I still feel like I have enough strength to not get addicted again.
Who knows? I know there’s a 80% I will download Maple again.
I just don’t want history to repeat it self.

Lol, you should purchase a boat or you might drown as your drifting down the river of maple.
O.O
That is, um, a bit sad?
Counter-spell. MS.exe goes to your discard pile.
Your story’s a little similar to mine, at least the first half is, except I skipped sleep and not school. Fortunately for me, I’m almost never motivated to grind, so I got out of the really bad habits after only a couple months.
I still spend too much time on sites like this, though. And Facebook.
Ewfacebook
Yeyfacebook.
I didn’t know addiction could be that bad ._.
Hem. The worst is that you actually go away from Maple for MONTHS time and time again, and end up going back to the game all over again.
I never skipped school for it, though I did stay up to, er, 4am (which is tame relative to certain other acquaintances of mine), and skipped lame school celebrations like National Day to play. If I did skip school or pull an all-nighter at home, my mom will most certainly have my eyes out. ^^;
tell your parents to either help you control your addiction or just simply set rules for yourself, be strong, or wait till summer
The nerves of playing Maple is for me, VERY HARD TO LEVEL -Caps-
That’s why I play the private servers! HARHAR!

Yeah my mom ate my head off when she saw a pile of NX cards in my room. “what YOU SPEND REAL MUNNY ON A GAME!
Really good idea. Except my mom would be screaming “BOOM! HEADSHOT!” If she finds out. And I know telling the school would result to her finding out.
Summer is here. Which is why I’m considering returning.
Yay! Facebook!
