Started back when Broa was the newest world and before 3rd job was released. I think that's before December of 2006? Anyway, I started as an I/L mage. Was so fricken happy when i got past level 30 for the second job advance AND when I made my first 1 million mesos (took me FOREVER to save up that money). But then when Amoria was released, I got the stupid orange bowl cut from that quest and I was like "OH GOD WHY" Fugly as hell with the bushy brow face.
Anyway, by then 3rd job was released, so my cousin was like "Hey! Let's make a ranger! They're OP with FIRE" So we took his old alt and he became my main character. The route to level 70 was ridiculously hard and laborious, especially training at zombies and looking for a training spot there at 2x. I made ranger though. By the time 4th job was released, I was level 8x and had a few random characters on that account for fun (i.e. the Level 1 character on Vic island because that was so hard to get off maple island in one piece xD) and had decent equips. Had maybe around 5-6 mil in mesos. Eventually, one of my guildies was a pro mage and she gave us free leech to 120 (she was an Aussie and we're Cali, so we got to sleep while she was up training before she went to work/school). It was perfect. This was also the time when Blood Building was in play, so my already high strength archer got the blood build treatment so that i could go to Horntail at 14x (which never happened) I was so happy to have more than 4k HP. Hurricane solved pretty much everything about damage cause it was the highest DPS attack at the time and SE guaranteed me into a party no matter what. I made my first 70 mil by going to zakum parties and getting splits. Hell, I didn't even get my first zhelm until level 85. Life was good.
But then, the pirates came out in KMST. I was so captivated by the buccaneer. Barrage was like "HOLY JESUS THAT ATTACK IS AWESOME! You're saying that I can hit 1 monster six times AND have the damage amplify? I can do MASSIVE damage now!" By then we had an HS mule (my guildie had leeched herself a bishop lol) and we had gotten ourselves a ridiculous amount of orbis exchange quest items. I made a new account and gave them all to him. The day pirates came out, my buccaneer would be fricken awesome. I could skip 10-30 because of the exchange quest items, so that boring part was over. Now I got to mess with 2nd job skills! I got to level 70 in no time at all (i.e. REALLY FRICKEN LONG) and got my zhelm from someone who did the JQ from me- one of my cousin's old friends logged onto my account and did the JQ for me (yeah, that actually happened people. Believe it). And as soon as i could leech newties, i had bought a 4 hour 2x card, and leeched to 120 (because everyone was doing it). Was so happy to be able to get all the new skills and all the quests that we had to do to get skills. Quests weren't annoying; the mastery books were. I remember spending over 500 million on SE 20/30 books and BARRAGE (yeah you read that right, barrage 20 was like 20 mil and I failed 3 of them). WorthyPirate is my main character now and probably will be for the rest of my time in maplestory. Yes I;ve now managed to get many characters to over level 120 because it's just that easy. You name it, I probably have it leveled to 4th job. We have one on each class at 4th job, so when CWKPQ came out, my cousin and my accounts were always coveted, one because we had a level 12x pirate and the other because we could literally be any class they needed. My pirate has now been trained to 15x all by myself. I make all my characters on my own to make my buccaneer the best character that I have (I also find it hilarious that we had so many SP resets that I only needed to get 2 free mastery books to max every single skill in my inventory, except SI of course). Long live the Buccaneer!
