I spent probably weeks trying to come up with a good name for that character. I kind of picked his last name quickly and the lvl 70 bow did somewhat inspire me to use that. He first name, however, was the hardest of all but I eventually picked Matthias in the end ;P /useless OC info
And, of course, I wanted a character in Maple named after my OC, which I was very obsessed with at that time. I went ranger because I already had a sniper (mostly). :v

I shoot/hunt with a crossbow in real life, so Marksman was an easy decision.

I started playing Maple I believe towards the end of it's first anniversary- didn't really enjoy it as much so decided to delete it. A few months later, I found a lot of time in my hands and decided to give maple another try. When I made my first character, I found myself lost in Lith Habor (never got this far when I first played). I walked around looking for people but it was empty (mind you it was Scania!) then I struck gold- I met a guy named Ferdie. He told me to delete my to-be warrior character and make a magician instead_ I did so and met up with him again (He waited for me :}). After a little chat on life, he broke down the whole concept of Maple to me and how as a magician you don't have to worry about str and dex and all that mess. Old Maple before the x-less classes were made, dmg hoars, cash shop sluts, and all that was in....
I miss old Maple! I say we burn the newbies and dmg hoars and bring the classics back. *

This. Thangdinh275 was the greatest inspiration most hermits pre-4th job could have ever hoped for.
Initially though, a friend showed me crimson balrog on hidden-street when I was just starting the game. At that point something sparked and I wanted to take him down. Once I defeated him though, I kept finding other Hermit videos that were higher level or stronger than me until I got to a point where I was the one trying to do the motivating. That led me onto a sort of self-motivation knowing that I could inspire other people in this game through videos. And I just wanted to be the best.
Oddly enough I picked Assassin because I heard they were weaker than the other classes but faster - which is a concept that has always appealed to me in games. Little did I know that we weren't actually weak.

It's my RL friend that told me about maple. He was a dit at this time so i became a dit too. Then at level 44, i quitted for other games. One day, i stumbled upon angeliamsea videos. She became my #1 source of inspiration and i made a bowman. i stayed on him for a long time (2 years i think) to finally get him to level 72 (lol). Then, i created lots of character like a brawler (cause of ipunchem videos), a slinger, a cleric, etc... When arans finally came out, i created one and i fell in love with this job. He's now level 62 but i've been slacking on him lately. That's my little story.

During beta, a friend suggested that I should become a mage. Played for three hours and got bored quickly, not to mention the fact that my brother disapproved of me secretly downloading MS onto his computer.
Eventually my little cousins started playing, and they encouraged me to start playing again. One of them idolized Tiger and had a Spearman and Cleric, and the other was a Sin, so I became an Archer. Of course, as I made my way into 2nd job, I started getting the 'lolArchers suck' comments, particularly from the sins. But being the stubborn [censored] that I was, I continued onwards as an Archer, if only because I tried out my cousins' characters and quickly became bored. I guess I stayed with Archers because I had to constantly think on my feet more. And the whole 'Archer Pride' thing that the community used to have back then. All this was about a year before 4th job.
I was forced to quit MS right when 4th job was finally released, and just recently came back about a month ago. I now switch between a Wind Archer and a Crossbowman as my mains, and eventually plan to start a Hunter when the Adventurer rings make their way over here. (Watch me get like four or five critical rings, two of them reserved for the future legends. >_>)

Bandit: Made on in gMS, had alot of memories and alot of inspiration from Geewhoa (longtimeago) therefore when CBs got some nice upgrades in the first rebalance I decided to make one.

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]
That's epic. "Never looked back."
