I can’t believe it’s been eight years since Maple Story’s been out. I was lurking on sleepywood forums earlier. It upsets me how the forums aren’t as active as it was in 2005-06. You’d figure the new generation would come in to replace the older generation; but no… it’s so dead. It’s dying. The forum is dying. I spent 2-3 years lurking around those forums. Seeing how it all changed… damn, that’s depressing.
I remember staying up with Long and Kevin on a weekend until like 3AM waiting for the patch to release. We’d grind for like an hour ‘til we get bored then just start talking about random crap. The excitement of leveling up. New gear. Being able to roam high-leveled maps. Shittt, so sad.
I was hooked on Maple Story for about four years.
It makes me feel empty… knowing I can’t go back; knowing that it’ll never be the same.
I miss the community, the drama, my friends. I miss those years.
I feel like a part of me just died.
You would of thought more new people would come in to replace the old, but they haven’t. Supposedly, MS isn’t as big as it used to be? Doesn’t matter anyway, ‘cause it’ll never be the same. “ -Charms, Sleepywood.net
