[Blog] Announcing the Maple BigWigs!

[Tranquility]

To Whomever got the BigWig Status:


How Much NX do you think you've Spent: Around 5-10 dollars.
How long have you been playing Maple: Account was created in 2005, about two months after the official launch.
Have you ever been Banned for anything: Was auto-banned for thirty days when organizing my buddy list a while back. Other then that, no.

I used to log in on a daily basis. Somewhere down the line, I took an almost two year break. These days, I'm fairly inactive. When I have school, I'll go months without logging in. During the summer, I'll be on at least once a month.

The sample on SP is likely to be slightly biased, lots of old-timey players around these parts.

Yes, it would be good to see if startdate actually meant anything. But the ban information should still be useful...

Wouldn't it be pertinent to ask something like how often folks log in, or for how long at a time?

[Kashimiya]

I guess I'll contribute to the list.

How Much NX do you think you've spent: $200ish; $150ish on Maple, $50ish on Dragon Nest
How long have you been playing Maple: Made the account back in 07, but didn't start playing regularly again until post-BB. Main character was made post-BB. I've been playing since Beta, but I don't think that's what we're after :P
Have you ever been banned for anything: No bans, but lots of GMPolice disconnects from reflects ~.~

As for login patterns, I'm usually online for 1-2 hours per day to level up traits/PvP when it was still around, not much apart from that.
I'd play a little more during weekends or holidays.

How Much NX do you think you've Spent: About $150
How long have you been playing MapleGlobal: Half a year ago, didn't buy any NX. Then quitted. Now I'm playing again and buying NX this time.
Have you ever been Banned for anything: No
Login Frequency: Everyday for 6 hours+

[Untradeable]

I guess if people want to post their login frequency they can. Also, People should post their Account Creation date, not exactly when you started maple (As i assume this only pertains to the account's start date)

[ChosenFruit]

Oh, I wasn't expecting to be a BigWig =o That's nifty.

How Much NX do you think you've Spent: Probably close to 200$ total.
How long have you been playing Maple: I've played for...around 5 years maybe? I remember playing back in 9th grade, and I finished 12th last year so..lol
Have you ever been Banned for anything: Not that I can remember, though I have flashbacks of seeing a "banned for a week" image, though it may just be an image I saw, and not me specifically.

[McAwesomesauce]

Only 100,000...thought there'd be more.

It says "over", so yeah, there are more.

[CrazyForDex]

Oh my god, they do care!

[Green4Ever]

Got mine as well.

[Satellite]

How long have you had your account: Since January 2007
Have you ever been Banned for anything: No.
How often do you login: Daily except for maybe 1-7 days long breaks + few 2 months breaks.

It seems you can't give other bigwigs gifts.

Worked for me and my friend...

[Alley]

I wonder if the 1.2x coupons stack.

>has three

[Kirov]

I’m a BigWig… On my old account that I don’t use anymore…

[Lamato]

I wonder if the 1.2x coupons stack.

>has three

I'm pretty sure they don't. I also have 3.. yay for gifting people back and forth. =D

I'm just curious to see if theres a pattern here.

1. Over 500K NX since 2005.
2. Since Beta
3. Never banned.
4. I played and quit after receiving Mark of Beta. Came back during Dual Blade introduction then quit and came back in 2011.


I think it really has to do with spending NX.

[Sarah]

If I log in and am not one then this world will be going up in flames.

Also, seeing that this is not exclusively for NX users, I need to recant the statement "one giant polevault back." But seeing as how this is still a horribly douchey thing to do (pineapple unique rewards, even if I do end up being a part of it, I hate pomegranate that's not available to everyone) this is still a step in the wrong direction.

Around 150$
Since 2006
Never been banned
Logged in frequently when Merc, Demon hunters first came out. Quit about a week after Demon hunters were released. Played a little bit when Phantom came out but nothing big.

It seems that they reward by NX usage, then by age of the account. I definitely haven't been playing frequently.

To Whomever got the BigWig Status:


How Much NX do you think you've Spent: Approximately 25k NX (mostly from MTS) + 20k Maple Points (from rollbacks). I've only spent $10 for NX.
How long have you had your account: About two years.
Have you ever been Banned for anything: No.
How often do you login: I'd say three times a week.


I'm just curious to see if theres a pattern here.

Also, how the hell do you use the 1.2x EXP Coupon? I have it and it still gives me the same EXP as before :\
EDIT: Nevermind, effect kicked in when I CC'd.

To Whomever got the BigWig Status:

How long have you had your account: Since 2008, if I'm not mistaken
Have you ever been Banned for anything: Never.
How often do you login: Daily, unless I'm too bored to log in for a week or two, or can't login for school-related reasons.


I'm just curious to see if theres a pattern here.
