My best friend and I are sooooo hooked on maplestory that we can spend HOURS on end playing, trying to level up our characters. And when we're not playing, we're on the phone talking about the game, and thinking of new ways to come up with Nx and mesos, and trying to convince our friends who don't yet play to at least try it out. So far Ive convinced like 7 people to try it, and they are now hooked too ! I've even convinced people who haven't played in months to come back and start playing again. Personally, I'm so hooked on it, that my background on my cellphone is a Maplestory scene, and my internet browswer has a maplestory theme (thanks to Awesomestart.com), and my desktop background on my user account that I use soley for playing maplestory is a printscreen I did of my character and my best friend's character ! Yes, you read right....I have an account on the computer ONLY for maplestory ! I run windows xp right now, and for some reason, my computer used to be slower when I played games on the same account as I surfed the internet with. So I created one for playing games of all kinds, one for maplestory only, one for surfing the web (and my schoolwork) as well as the guest account hehe, I'm so addicted that i even sset my alarm when maplestory is down for maintenance, so that when maintenance is over, I can wkae up (if i fall asleep) and play again ! Wht bout you..... How addicted are you to Maplestory ? What's some of the strangest things you've done because of maplestory ?

I play it alot but I never let video games get in the way of real life. Spending time with my girlfriend, family, and friends is much more important to me. That being said, I love playing Maplestory in my free time! What server are you on and what is your highest level/class?

Well right now I'm playing on Scandia, and my char is a level 16. I used to have a lvl 28 char, but I messed up on her stats, and she was really weak, so I deleted her and started over. I never used to be so hooked, but since I'm stuck in the house 24/7 (medical problems), I needed something to pass the time, since I don't like to watch much Tv, and my best friend is always on there (when he's not busy that is), hhe suggested I play. But i don't let it interfere either. When I have something to do, or when family or friends come to visit, the game gets put on hold so I can spend time with them

Well level 16 is really low, if you want to make a character on my server (Kradia) I could help you level. I have a 59 Thunder Breaker, 46 Assassin, 38 Bowman, 36 Dawn Warrior, and 20 Magician.

I must agree that I'm also totally addicted to maplestory. I've no idea why I can't stop when I start playing. Lol.

"So far Ive convinced like 7 people to try it, and they are now hooked too !" Oh no! It's spreading! I have recently started to play MapleStory again, and they made more ways to make it more addicting. For example, they have added "Medals" now and to get one of them you have to log in for 27 days straight and play 3 hours every day. This means that I have to play even when I don't want to. I'm getting a little bored of it now anyway and I plan on quitting again once I get that darn medal.

I hated that medal soooo much. I got to 23 days with 3+ hours everyday and then I accidentally missed a day for some reason. I got so mad and I just said, "screw it". But I guess that medal is the medal of addiction. It basically says, "I have no life". hahahaha You see so many people with that medal all over Maplestory. hahaha

I'm beyond addicted! I play the whole day, sometimes I even forget to eat, which isn't a good thing. I honestly love to play, but it gets annoying having to repurchase the NX again. I waste so much money on it! But it's so addicting! I love it. My sister has her maplestory character as her itouch background! I even make some mmvs. (: They're pretty cool, I guess. XD I hate when it goes int maintenance though. My friend and I were going to play all night, but maintenance happened. ):

I agree about the NX, that can get annoying. I don't like that certain things expire. Clothing and stuff shouldn't ever expire, the dbl exp and such, sure make it expire, but not the clothing and/or weapons.

I am not addicted at all. I controlled the amount of time I spent on maplestory and i eventually quit it because I got very bored of it.

i used to be hooked, until i noticed what i was really missing in life. Maplestory slowly divides you and your real life friends. I used to go on, sometimes pull all nighters and used money for NX in order to fund myself. But when i quitted all the time and money went down the drain. And my middle school social life also ended. It wasnt until high school(when i quitted) that i slowly realized what i had missed out

I used to be hooked once, and sometimes i get into these moods where all i wanna do is play MS, but lately I just can't seem to get back into the mood to play it. My homie Dez always gets after me for that, cause he wants me to build up my char, but I'll get around to it, eventually.
