I'm quitting Maplestory.
OK, I know your thoughts - "Just another noob who doesn't like the game because it doesn't fit his style." Now, to be fair, I LOVED the game. In fact, if I had the ability to control time like the Zoni in the Ratchet and Clank series, I'd set aside an alternate time dimension where I could do nothing but maximize eight characters and fund them fully!
UNFORTUNATELY: This is not such a world. I am going to turn 43 in two months at about this date - my birthday is December 6th - and after my mother got badly hurt and ended up in doctor's offices at the age of 67, I realized that my life is slipping away and I won't be playing MMOs forever. Eventually my body will be cremated and my ashes used for something and my game consoles and computer will be given away to others, so the last thing I need to take my final breath on this world regretting that I never fully funded my Phantom and failed to get 25 platinum trophies.
What? Regret never having sex with a sexy woman? Ha ha, you're funny. Maybe I might find a nice young woman who won't mind waking up next to me every morning and remembering how much fun we had in bed, but I am not going to hold my breath. My sisters have already enjoyed sex (and my older one has gotten pregnant) so I don't care if I'm the black sheep who has to be funded by his parents. My parents love me enough to help me out, and the last thing I need to worry them is having lived life doing nothing but MMOs. (Which reminds me - I should renew my Wizard101 time soon.)
Since I have Pirate101 and Wizard101(which require a sub to fully explore them but I don't mind), I realize that I need to devote more time to my console games. True, they don't need a subscription, but I've gotten back into Trophy Hunting (check my blog for that HERE) and want to devote more time to my PS3, my newly purchased Vita and my PS4 - I didn't save up $215 to buy a handheld I won't devote any time to! :(
Because of that, I need to cut out MMO time, and sadly Maplestory - which I wasted $100 on for accessories and cute cosmetics - is the one to get the axe. I know it's just the end of the Pink Bean event but I won't be doing any more. To show I have severed all ties to Maplestory, I have deleted all my bookmarks to sites with Maplestory content and videos. Cold turkey or not at all.
I have only played this game for 10 months before ending my service.
I am not quitting Maplestory because I hate it. It's because I can't devote any time to it anymore. There are millions of people who have wonderful Maplestory Videos on Youtube - KraDeNine, Sorrowful Memory, and more. I wish them luck and bow out.
Farewell Maplestory community. The game was fun while it lasted. ;_; Peace.
