Much as I hate the idea of staying in SEA the reality is that I as a gamer have always made my gaming choices based on the game actually working out for me; in spite of the gifts given out by GMS I couldn't hope to rely solely on that to make my way up so I'd have just as bad of an experience at GMS as I would in SEA, if not worse.
As for the experience, I just look at how different Southperry's users are from the mainstream MapleSEA player.
Actually, my first impression on Southperry upon joining was so-so (maybe warm). The people around here are much more mild and "tamed" (no idea how to put that), they don't quickly snap into defence and scream at you when they see something wrong. As you've mentioned, they actually do point out nicely to you if you're making a mistake so that you can learn from it the correct way. Unlike our counterparts in SEA, snapping and biting is the norms for majority, except the forum staff.
Recently the post count wars already sort of turned me off. I have absolute idea why I'd make that MapleSEA MAP and SP Distribution Guide despite hating at least half the community clowns in there. Couple of months ago I remembered someone raged at me because he wasn't able to get his quest properly done due to some issues and started throwing stones at me just because he thinks I'm a GM or some moderator by the way I post.
I mean, can't they see my profile carefully before throwing that stone?!?! I don't even have a staff badge on there. 
Though I admit I'm also sometimes cranky and snappy in PPF like those SEA players, but I do understand at least what I expect in others as well as vice-versa. We all have our own individual standards and we can't really make a perfect comparison, just accommodate and understand each other with respect is probably the best way to maintain a community.
Shall quit the raging about PPF, I'm already out of the topic. Sorry for this wordy post if I made your eyes sleepy. (Was finding a place to scream abuse...
)
