[COLOR="Green"]I came to the world of Maple after dark scrolls had been introduced, so I can't imagine what it would be like without them. Most of my stuff today has been made myself through sheer luck of a few 30% scrolls.
Back in the day, on my Page, I had 100 base dex (because I had never heard of capping your dex). My equips ALWAYS matched, and I only ever used scrolls I found lying around either in Ludi from being dropped from LMPQ, or from drops. All my stuff was scrolled for def, and I had never used a scrolled weapon before. Hell, I practically passed out when my friend found a 2 att above average Zard from a drop.
I lived Maple for the friends I had, and even ending up forming "families". My Slash Blast was lvl 13, my Power Strike was lvl 19, and I didn't ever care about damage. The only time where I ever really looked at my damage was when me and my Maple son, who was a Sader, started getting into play fights as to which of us was stronger. Sure, I used the extra points to fix Power Strike, and left booster unmaxed, but I maxed it later in WK when I had 11 points with nothing to do.
The only people we ever feared were sins. They would always come in and KS us and tell us how our damage sucked, but we never cared. Life was great back then. I only found out about weapon scrolls after level 70, and I soon started pressing my luck to get the best equips I could make.
When I reached level 80, I got a Green Battle Road and scrolled it for DEX (4 str 19 dex), a green level 80 gloves set with 9 attack, and a pair of dark level 80 boots with acc on them. I looked amazing, and I loved it. I'll post a picture of it later when I get back to my house.
God I miss when this game was truely fun. Even now, with having the ability to fight powerful monsters, I always have to have the fear that some little pirate or hero can come along and start killing me with it, or ks me. The problem I find is a lack not only of fun, but of true intelligence combined with caring and sincerety. Most people who are new know absolutely nothing, and they don't listen all the time, plus they're always asking for money. And all the old players just tell them to shut up and go away instead of trying to teach them.
Sorry, long post full of remembrance. I really missed those old times.
