So, my best friend is quitting. I don't know him IRL, so it's really hard for me. I met him Christmas of 06, and we've never had any really bad times. He told me that he was quitting a month in advance. I gave him all the goodbyes I could, lots of love (friend love, don't be sick), NX to enjoy the last month of his stay. He told me, hey, let's have an adventure for my last month. We restarted our characters, hence why I'm a level 5x even though I've been playing since beta. We had a real good time, playing, merchanting, PQing, grinding with each other up until it was time for him to go. For a last goodbye, I took him on a Mushmom hunt. Well, it was a ZMM hunt at first but we decided to take on MM instead. Anyway, he had never killed a boss and was going to have fun, I could tell.
That was, until some fire mage came in an KSed us. We found a channel to ourselves and camped out. A fire mage comes, and wow, perfect timing! A mush mom spawns, and he 2hKOs it. He CCs before we can even look at his fame level. We went on a frantic CCing race, and in every channel, he KSed us. We weren't even following him, he was following us! By then, we couldn't wait until he logged off and then mushmom, because it was time for my friend to go to sleep and never log back on. So of course, a fire mage ruins our entire evening together before he quits forever. I was also recording the hunt and other things with my friend for a video. He completely ruined it. Now it seems like, despite all my efforts, my friend's two years of playing have come to an end in one night, and that night was a display of the cruelty of Maplers, not a fun goodbye betwen him and me.
That's all I can say. I'm sad, and I miss him a lot, and I'm pissed that a mediocre fire mage ruined a sad, but somehow happy, night. KSers are the scum of the Maple world, and I wish Nexon would do something about them. They can ruin grinding, sure, but ruining a friendship's perfect end is something entirely different and one hundred times worse.
