Why do we play Maplestory?

Playing ms is already a waste of time, money and effort. Quitting or not, is wasting life.

I'm from a different school of thought. That free time is something that should be taken just as seriously as work, especially if you're in the position of not having a lot of free time to spare.

Was it really a waste if it made you smile or laugh at least once?

I don't mean to say 'Maple is productivity' equal to that of school or a job. Its a different kind of product: entertainment, what we work so hard to afford while still working to stay alive. What I really mean is that for most entertainment, the memory of a good time is all that remains, like going to a movie or a sports game a trip and other stuff. MMOs and games give you that, but unlike other pasttimes, also has the uncanny unique ability to reward you for the time you've spent in the past. It's like your free time is constantly adding up into more and more entertainment.
