I was sitting by the 24-hour store waiting to heal, and I was about to go afk when an assassin came by, stopped, and said “hiya” to me. I was thinking, “oh great, another noob about to ask me for mesos/items/plvl”. I said hi back, a bit warily.
Then he smiled and said, “I like your name 
” and I smiled back and said “thanks”. then he famed me. I famed him back, and he disappeared. I assumed he changed channels. After I was healed, I started making my way towards my favourite ant tunnel, and on my way I saw him hanging on a rope. I bowed to him and smiled, and he jumped down off his rope to smile at me, then I went on my merry way.
This kind of made my day cos lately I’ve been feeling really . . . I don’t know. Melancholy, I guess. Emo. I’m almost lvl 30, and I’m at the point where I feel I can’t get good exp anymore. I have 2 and ½ levels to go. I try to keep training without looking at that little yellow bar, but I can’t help it.
Plus, the two friends I started out playing with either no longer play or went back to Scania. The two friends I have left rarely talk to me, they’re higher-levels and I can’t train where they do. So I’ve been feeling emo and lonely.
Before, when I came back to playing MS, I had no friends, and I was quite content to go exploring. Then I realised I was lonely, but kept shrugging it off. So I found a few of my old friends, and in one case, got one to come back and play the game with the rest of us, and things were quite good for awhile.
I don’t know which is easier: to have no friends at all and feel lonely, or to have friends but still feel lonely. I sound like an old friend of mine who always used to complain how lonely he was. I feel like a whiner. Maybe I am just whinging, but right now it feels good to express this.
If you have no friends and feel lonely, you know it’s because you have no friends. But if you have friends and feel lonely, it’s a bit harder to figure out exactly why.
Anyway, I’m tired of talking about this now so I’m gonna go back and train. I had just intended to talk about that nice sin but then all this other stuff came out. (o_O)
(emo-ninja poof!)
Hmm, I have a story similar to this. I started MS with friends who eventually just, quit or wandered off to other servers. It was pretty lonely but meeting a few people around my level helped out a lot; I now have a close group of MS friends who’ll never leave each other or me. ^ ^;
Try to meet new people you get along with or can train with; usually it gives you something to look forward to while playing MS and keeps the boredom at bay. Not all noobs are evil.
But of course, keep the higher leveled ones close, even if you can’t train with them.
Ehh i lost the best group of friends i ever had in the transition from beta to scania,
Animeternal: it really sucks when that happens, but what can we do about it? I’m glad you found some more friends though. (^__^)
It’s quite hard to make friends in-game now, hardly anyone talks cos they’re afraid of getting scammed/hacked/noobs begging for stuff. I remember when I first joined Maple, everyone would start random conversations, no matter where you were, and some of these were quite hilarious.
Now everyone just keeps to themselves, except to complain if they’ve been ksed, ask someone to cc, spam whatever they’re selling/buying, etc. So I tend to keep to myself as well, unless I get someone talking to me like that sin and an archer the day before. Thanks for the tips though. (^__^)
cyan400: I’m sorry, that really must have sucked
. . . hopefully you made some more?
well, I moved from bera to broa. But now I sorta regret it. I miss my bera friends
