When was the last time you seriously had fun playing MapleStory?

The last time I had fun in this game was earlier today when I was killing headless horseman with an f/p archmage friend of mine. It wasn't about her class/level (although archmages are definetely fun to party with), but just doing something new together with a friend.

I remember in the old days most of my friends were guildies and I only had a few people on my buddy list. Seeing people say "I'd quit if my friends quit" always looked odd to me, since you can always make new friends. I'm not saying friends are a commodity, but if you enjoy a game because you've made good friends in it, you can make more friends with time if some of yours decide to quit. If suddenly my entire buddy list and guild stopped playing, I'd definetely be distressed, but I don't think I'd quit. I know there are lots of great people out there just waiting to be met.

The first three months of Kradia

Well the only time when I don't have fun is training =P and I'm sure thats what made mostly everyone bored too lol. Now that I hit level 70 on my bandit in maplesea its time to slack. So last time I had fun is when I last used assaulter XD

A game that takes as long as Maple does, (1-200 takes a long time,) must offer things other than grinding to be fun. There is the social aspect, as you can sit in Free Market with a friend, not playing yet playing for hours. You can merchant, which is similar to grinding, you can do activities with guild.

The problem with the game, though, is that it's inherently time consuming. ExtremeBeast told me that 1-170 is only 12% of the experience needed from 170-200. Playing a video game for 60 hours total and maybe replaying it for another 60 several months later is NOT the same as devoting 6-8 hours (or more,) to the same game for months or even years. A lot of the pros I know are either borderline addicted or outright addicted. This can be destructive to one's health and social existence. My own gear is currently worth 1.8 billion mesos, but I really really don't want to log on to see the high damage numbers. 6-8 hours per day is a lot of time, and I can spend that time being with rl people, helping my parents, or doing work, (either for money or towards my manuscript.)

It would've been August 1st if they didn't pull a Nexon.

still waiting...

I don't think Maple has enough activities other than grinding. Sure there's a community, but most people would agree that over half the Maplers are idiots/scammers/jerks. Minigames are fun for about an hour or so, but eventually they get pretty boring (only 2 in GMS? Not enough). Quests are fun sometimes, but not everyone is a quest fanatic. Chatting is probably the most fun thing to do other than grind, which is why quite a few of people only play to talk with their friends.

When I was Lmpqing on my F/P
It was fun because we kept guessing and going in circles
I think Maple needs more activities like mining, mini-games and increase the exp rates or drop the exp needed to level.
This would make Maple more fun, IMO.

When i had started Kradia, before everyone quit on me, before i quit. Id say when my friends and i were racing to 3rd job. But on the way there was rollback pomegranate and i basically stopped racing at that point, It was still very fun being a cb til lv 83.
