This forum is more dead than Michael Jackson

I'm here. =)


Anyways, if there is anyone here in Khaini that is a good merchant, I need you to contact me ASAP. It will be a good business deal on both of our parts (let's call it...15% good)!

Hmmm...let me think

Some guy that no one likes or trusts decided to jack his "friend's" equips and told a web of lies about losing them while transferring


What a frickin failure

Uh... I quit 8 months ago but in my time playing what you're saying happened like... 5 times? Who are you talking about? O.o

Or maybe I shouldn't ask, there's too much drama as it is. :f6:

Edit: Aren't you the girl that used to be Poop's girlfriend? Janelle (if that's who you are) was a very nice girl but poop was an ass. Poop told me I'd never get to lvl 80, rofl, then he quit at 119 and then I got to 160 before I got bored and quit myself. Rofl poop. :XD

I don't even care about the stats of the items, I'm just going, "why so much money?" 4 grand is still a ton.

Well I mean if you have a CAREER and are single...
4k is like 4 months entertainment budget.
Srsly.
That is WHY the gaming market exists.
"blah blah blah I bring home 36k a year and my annual bills total around 20k what to do with the extra 16k"

Well, yeah, that's the basically irrefutable argument for gaming. People say "why spend on virtual property," but what's the difference between enjoying yourself through virtual property, and enjoying yourself through going to a movie or a restaurant? The movie ends in an hour, and the food goes in one hole and out another, the money is just as gone. If you have fun, that's the justification right there.

However, spending 4010 on Maple is not such a good idea because Maple constantly undermines existing gear to encourage spending on newer gears. HayO scrolled a legit perfect Fairfrozen on a 103 base, (see Selling forums,) but once Maker comes out, the significance of such an item diminishes. I mean think about it, before Dark Scrolls came out, if somebody had a perfect legit Fairfrozen, they'd be the wonder of all of Global, and they'd get very far on that item. How on earth did they make perfect gears outdated? But in other games, where gear will not become outdated and where the game itself is fairly new, such an expenditure makes more sense.

The thing is, if you think about it, the only true objective of equipment is to get you to lvl 200. Once you're lvl 200, your only use for equips is to boss, but no amount of bossing will ever return the 62 bil you'll spend on gear. While the stats will be impressive, I mean isn't this overdoing it a little? You can get from 184 to 200 with like 4 bil of gear and still be considered godly.

Then again, I don't even want to know how much you paid to buy both Altruit and DKBlood. :f6:

There's much more available than just my Hero to use it on...everything but the shield and sword would be useful for a Bowmaster, Night Lord, Buccaneer, Shadower...any melee character I chose to make, once it's 50, it gains like 30-40 attack. :f6:

Kevin ish pro-sauce.

Yes, yes he is.

Wait, what, did somebody spend 5K on MAPLESTORY?
Talk about a waste of money, MS is a game, that will end eventually, ITS NOT REAL, never spend that much money on something that isn't real/is virtual.

You could buy a gaming laptop with that money! A 72" Flat Screen T.V! You could feed a kid in Africa for 4200 Days! But MAPLESTORY? Not to mention LIFE SAVINGS. Man, what. a. waste.

Good God.
I wish i had 4.8k to throw around.

It doesnt matter how long your playing A GAME. Its a GAME. IT ISNT REAL. NEVER SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A GAME. Boy, are you going to regret that "investment" in the future. What are you going to do with your life when MapleStory ends?

[COLOR="red"]Tell that to the person that paid $100k for the glitched sword on WoW, he's still making money off of it.

Plus, you guys seem to forget that while $5k at once is a large investment, there are plenty of people, especially in Broa or Scania who would jump at the chance to spend their MTS cash on my things. It's easier than one might think to get your money back out.[/COLOR]

It's good to know rumors are still taken as word straight from God in Khaini. Check your pomegranate with ALL of the people involved before you start spewing hatred. If you want screenshots, I'll provide them.

[COLOR="red"]She's referring to me. This stuff happens all the time.

Edit: It's pitiful to know that even though I keep trying, there's still rarely anyone to trust in Maple.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]I agree with you on the entertainment, people should be able to spend their cash on what they want without being judged, but there are still those who will do it and ruin their fun.

I guess it remains to be seen whether or not the Lunchboxes vs. Reserse weapons will cause another Faltizan/Pinaka vs. Sky Skis phenomenon. I've checked the speed of a Timeless Carabella vs. a Lunchbox before, and the Lunchbox is a far sight faster than the Carabella. Fikk tells me a 100 Sky Ski would beat a 126 Pinaka in overall DPS, so that's 26 weapon attack for nothing over one level of speed. I highly doubt we'll have any Reverse weapons at...170 attack any time soon.[/COLOR]

I'm not a 15, 16 year old child. I know how much 4k is. What the pineapple you're not going to have 16 grand to spend if you're only making 36 grand a year. The average living wage in the US is over $20,000 a year for a single person. That's to live in a crappy apartment with a crappy car / relying on public transportation and putting NO money into savings. 4k is more like your entire year's entertainment budget, if that, and you'd have to be pretty damn committed to having godly equips in this game to spend an entire year's worth of money on MapleStory.

Few people would even consider spending that kind of money on one game unless their annual household income is well over fucking 250k.

That's simply not true. If you're living with your parents and have even a part time job that doesn't pay too much, you can spend soemthing like 5,000 in one year and not even be inconvenienced. I know a bunch of people that did something like that (in Maple and elsewhere,) they don't have even a fraction of 250k/year.

The "you're a basement dweller if you do that" argument is REALLY tired and stupid, to be honest. In a lot of other countries, (Asian and European,) it's considered acceptable and even expected that children live with their parents. The thought is that your parents take care of you growing up, andt hen you take care of them as they grow old. Only American native-born consider it necessary to move out at 18, and many of those people also consider it proper to throw their old parents into nursing homes, a viewpoint many Europeans and Asians find repugnant.

My friend earns over 80k a year in a Silicon Valley job, he told me he'd live with his family if he were here. His sister, who is an attractive 20 year old girl, has a steady job and a good social life, and she lives with her parents because that saves her several hundred per month.

Khaini... the hidden paradise...

I live in alabama so cost of living is lower.
Really with a room mate 15k is easily enough to live off of.
Anyway as Quantact said, I have a friend that currently is bringing in 36k a year and living with his dad ATM (he plans to leave) which gives him hordes of expendable cash.

Well, a dependent making 36k a year in Alabama is a lot better off than someone living entirely off their own means making 36k a year elsewhere >_> Their family income would be a lot more than 36k.

[COLOR="Red"]I think Quantact deserves a medal for successfully reviving this forum.
