Curse you and all the people with better money management skills! That being said my fatal error was making it easier for myself to buy cash and I now see that not applying for a credit card was a wise choice.
Oh I definitely spent a chunk on NX during my time playing Nexon games, but never outside of my entertainment budget ;)
That same money would've gone to beer, other vidya games, etc.

Same, any money I didn't spend on Maple would have gone to something equally wasteful. The amount has freaked me out enough that I've abandoned the idea of using cash to buy equips though and the 300k or so cash I have left will have to be carefully invested so that I don't run out. :|
Like I said in the other thread, I don't feel bad and most of you shouldn't feel bad about spending money on maple.
My roommate has spent close to 7 grand now over first semester and half of second on alcohol, weed, and food (we have unlimited meal plan so ordering food every single night for months is pretty wasteful).
And there are plenty of other people who spend money on much much worse things.
That only goes back to february 2010. He got too tired to finish the rest.
Even factoring in it's all practically MTSed NX, you also need to consider that you made that last even after the MTS closed and all these new cube-tastic stuff came out...

If I had your mindset I'd have committed seppuku a million times over. Compared to everyone else yours is at best a drop in the bucket. Ya don't have to regret spending such a small amount on Nexon.

Surely then when so much cash in the bank you wouldn't mind finding out for the hell of it what you spent on Nexon before you went to LoL and other games.

Then again, I've only used NX on either one of two things: Cubes or Clothes.
Wasn't going to do this, but then chose to as a way of unwinding after class? Don't ask. Ultimately I was just incredibly curious as to what I actually spent, after years of estimating.
lol
First NX Purchase: September 23, 2006 (roughly one month after I began playing)
Last NX Purchase: July 30, 2010 (almost a year after hitting Lv. 200 and ~4 months after quitting...goes to show the level of addiction I was at)
Purchases GRAND TOTAL: 4,797,763 Credits GRAND TOTAL: 4,797,863
Apparently I made a lot more off MTS than I thought. Here's what I actually spent out-of-pocket on the game:
TOTAL SPENT (In NX): 3,750,000 TOTAL SPENT (In USD): $3,750
lolz. Yeah, I was an #addict. I think my estimations were correct (I want to say I've guessed between $3-4k). I'll never regret spending so much because of the fun I had, the people I've met, and the memories the game created, but I do regret some idiotic purchases, especially in the MTS (hello lern2invest).

> This doesn't show it all, but basically one day I took $300 of birthday money and spent it in one sitting on NX cards that went directly to the MTS in attempts to craft incredible gear that is, lo and behold, totally obsolete today. The best part? Most of it bombed and I didn't have a glorious moment of quadrupling my Magic or anything. So yeah, $300 in one day to virtual explosions. That's cool.
MTSED 1000 dollars Which I sent to DFO(1 Million NX)
Spent 1800 dollars on DFO.(1.8 mill NX)
Spent 3000 dollars on maple.(3.8 mill NX)
Played Maple from 2006-2010 or 2011
Played DFO from Open Beta till its Death.
0 Regrets.

Welp more money for other Consoles/games and Picking up old hobbies. No more Cash dumping into Nexon games for me.
First purchase : Nov 12 2005
Last purchase : Sep 27 2012
Total: $720
Actually payed for: $240
Not too bad, like $3 a month since I started playing. It's crazy how I've played this game continuously since 2005 with very few hiatuses, I only recall quitting for like 6 months early on and then I don't know how long I quit for when I stopped playing in Scania.
