Two years ago, I would have been playing in Scania to help out friends, and participated in the intense leveling and questing competition I had with my two cousins. I had to quit shortly after 4th job was released due to a virus.
Shame, because I really wanted revenge on those easter eggs, because I just had to get suckered into starting MS while they were kicking all of our behinds. I'm sure that all of you that were around during the Easter Event of 2007 (or was it 2006?) know exactly what I mean.
During the past two years, my two cousins and my friends quit as well, due to differing reasons. My first cousin, as a Spearman, became bored without having anyone to compete with, and was ultra demotivated after seeing that Dark Knights weren't going to get any new attacks in 4th job. My idiot other cousin decided to be a script kiddie, and quit after Nexon went after that one site earlier this year. Friends got bored, hacked, scammed, real life caught up, etc.
I came back and started playing again yesterday, this time completely unfunded in Windia.
Oddly enough, I've remained in the MS community throughout the two years, mostly in the MSEA AsiaSoft forums. Now my primary reasons to play involve finally getting to experience stuff that I had been discussing with the MSEAers for the past year or so, and providing screenshots/personal experiences in GMS for the amusement of the MSEAers.
(...Because hardly a month goes by without a very brief argument in the prediction threads over at the AsiaSoft forums. Arguments about whether MSEA/AsiaSoft or GMS/Nexon is worse (with EMS recently joining the fray), while simultaneously worshipping KMS for everything besides those two theme dungeons. The way the arguments are done seems as if being part of the community that's worse off is something to be proud of.) :f6:
