Who or what inspired you to play your class? - Birdie - 2010-03-19
I started a month or two before 4th job came out, so i only knew about 3rd job as far as the last advancement and decided I wanted to be a white knight. I didn't understand how exactly the classes and job advancements worked however, so at lvl 30 I became a fighter thinking at lvl 70 i could then become a white knight. >.< Oh well i ended up liking the crusader job so it wasnt the end of the world.

Back when I first started 4 years ago, my friend who got me involved in maple had the mindset of "everything but Assassins sucks," so I made an assassin. However, after making many other characters and doing loads of research on each of the classes, I eventually settled down on a Page about 2 years ago. To this day the only motivation has been being able to use the elemental charges and messing around with various buffs and attacks, and I have no regrets whatsoever.

idk but i have always like magicians.. especially clerics. And MapleStory was the first RPG i ever played. My inspiration was jessbunny, the priest who made to 200 without genesis. I had 3 clerics before my current bishop(made in 2008, started playing in 2006) and many other chars. The previous two was deleted and i still have the level 55 cleric on my account, next to my level 50 f/p :3
so yeah, im just fascinated by magic. Thats what inspired me even tho genesis got me to 154.
My current infighter/lawler, i just have to say, ShiKage and iPunchEm viidyas.

The chance to pummel monsters into red blobs of goo with my bare hands was my inspiration for making a buccaneer. Also, all the early high-levels running around.

I liked the lightning bolt Mages could do on green slimes, so I made a Ice/Light Wizard.

[COLOR="Magenta"]When I started in Beta, I really loved the girl archer they had in the logo. So I tried playing an archer. Time goes by, blah blah drama, and I quit her for a few weeks. Browsing through youtube, I stumble upon:
[video=youtube;qCSe4BUp2sU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCSe4BUp2sU[/video]
I was like holy sh't that's cool. But I didn't like herms and their notorious rep. But it got me itching to play maple again. THENNNN:
[video=youtube;FTMzpXyGif0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTMzpXyGif0[/video]
I was like omg. I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER /icelightningmage'd.
She was my number one inspiration. While she released her videos I looked up to her. I loved her videos and the music she put behind them and just making i/l's look so f'cking cool pre-4th job.
From that point on I was an I/L at heart. I will forever remember NllN. My number one Idol.
Unfortuntately she quit maple and deleted all her videos. I managed to find this last one someone saved and re-uploded. You will be missed NllN <3 I kill gatekeepers in your honor.[/COLOR]

So I already mentioned how oMarvelous/GunsRus2 and Retalion inspired me to continue my Hunterhood.
My lovely boyfriend, John/Velysto, inspired me to make a Corsair. That should be enough to know. :'D Granted, I'm still an Outlaw but I'm getting there... but I love both classes lots and don't see myself replacing any of them anytime soon.

Originally when I started off MS, I was playing with my 2 RL friends (now quit). One had I/L, and one had Cleric; they told me to take the F/P wiz route for 2nd job. Little did I know I would be going on a very unique adventure.
Back then, there weren't many F/P wizards, let alone F/P Mages. Anytime I came across a fellow F/P, it was like striking gold. So after a while, I started looking up videos and of course, I see videos of F/P Mages misting, exploding, and doing all sorts of cool stuff. That kept me going.
Of course, I had a few inspirations for my F/P, but one notable inspiration was from Dan (FrozNlite), now the level 200 F/P AM in the server I'm playing in.
Fast forward 3 years later. After I got my F/P AM to 141, I really took some time to think about why I was really playing my F/P AM. Even though it was fun (and harsh) along the way, was it worth my time simply spamming one skill for training as well as being stuck as a supportive role during boss runs (as well as enduring lolfp and lollukmage jokes)? So I decided to make a Dark Knight and make that my summer project (last year).
To make story short, I stuck it out, and I'm still going with my DrK. I have found myself enjoying my DrK in more ways than enjoying my F/P. And I found myself more useful in many situations. Of course, I have DrK inspirations, but I'll hold on that for now. =P

I didn't really have any inspirations or people I looked up to when I first started playing Maple which is the reason why the first 2/3 years was me playing random characters and jumping from server to server. I finally started to focus on 1/2 servers at last. I've always secretly wanted to play a spearman when I started but back then, they had a reputation of being hackers so I never made one until much later.
Now, I have a Dragon Knight that is two levels from 100 (yes, I'm a slow leveler after all those years of playing ;P ) and mostly focus on less than five characters. Yes, I still have my many alt characters but I mostly stick to those few characters which is an improvement from me starting a new main character every few months in the past :]
Unfortunately, I still don't really have a person that I looked up to... :|

I was wondering what inspired your Ranger, was it the fact that the bow is Hinkel, like your OC's last name?

If anyone says iPunchEm inspired you (High level Bucc who makes 64363523432 videos on himself..)
I. will. shank. you.
Anyways..
FireyStaff, look him up on ranks, from Bera, inspired me to first play this game and continue playing..
Idk where he is now, I miss him =/
Plus, believe it or not, he's a Priest o-o not an F/P xD

Crystaliris from Bera has always been my inspiration in making my first real main character as a cleric then priest then bishop.
She helped me alot through my years of playing and her husband is a very cool dude too. She's consistently been 30+ levels or more ahead of me
even to this day, and a good source of advice in various areas of the game.

My first character was an assassin, which I played 'cause it looked cool.
Next was page, which I played 'cause it looked cool.
Next was gunslinger, which I played 'cause it looked cool.
Next was bandit, which I played 'cause it looked cool.
That's it really. Super-awesome high-levels tend to give me an inferiority complex so I try not to look for them for inspiration.

PQing was my favorite activity in the game, and everyone was always clamoring for a cleric. I like feeling useful, it makes people so happy when they see a cleric just joined their party. But having only one choice for a healer class is bad, I think Nexon should give paladins and mechanic healing skills so there are more options

Probably this beautiful piece of weaponry that I wanted to use like hell and Frostprey. Unfortunately I never gathered the materials for it.

[color="#cc8899"]Not to sound pretentious, but I've had a few people say I inspired them to be PA DrKs. Every now and then I even get someone in DFO saying hi, which is kindof cool.
Anyways,
First char: 2x Thief (dagger) (since then, deleted). Found a "Fork on a stick" at one point, started using it, loved the fact that I could hit enemies on platforms above me without jumping. Made a Warrior to take advantage of this, happened to be during a Valentines event. Found a White Rose, decided to be Polearm to take advantage of that. Never looked back. [/COLOR]

My Drk was inspired by a combination of R3troSole and BSUCLA.
I wish i had something of R3tro's but i have BSUCLAs overall so...thats good.

You on earth would anyone look up to a fellow mapler? This game holds no accomplishment worth idolizing. Inspiration, sure but that is more of what a class looks like while being played, not something placed on a special player per se.

Back when I first started playing, I became a warrior because I loved close range classes and swords. I noticed someone on the boat back from Orbis using Final Attack. For whatever reason, it looked awesome and I wanted to become the class that had Final Attack. Clicking their name, it turned out they were a Page. This happened to be before 3rd job was released, so I didn't really keep up with my skills and classes.
Oh boy, it was because of that I became a Paladin, and I don't regret it in the slightest. I loved the skills and styles needed to properly play the Paladin class, and even though it was a shared skill that got me into being a Paladin, I'm happy that person on the boat was a Page. I also looked up to Stereo back when I frequently browsed Sleepywood, regardless of the fact I was a sword Page.
