Findings Wrote:There is already a 1 person to 1 person chat, whisper, except it's better because whispers can be sent to anyone. Spouse chat is unnecessary.Who actually uses whisper to hold a conversation? Nobody that I know of. Whispers are sent to people such as Zhelm hosters or people you're just sending messages, similar to the New Year's cards to. Have you ever tried using whisper to chat with more than one person at a time?
Also, with friendships, there comes a hierarchy to who you'd talk to more often. Someone trying to talk to you through whisper would screw up your chat with someone else you may one to talk to.
Findings Wrote:No one that you know only through Maple Story is your friend, nor do you really know them. They project an image of themselves, which they will usually take care to ensure is flattering and only include things that will be viewed positively. The only thing you can like or dislike about a person is how they represent themselves. All it is is an act.Tell me then, what is your real self? Isn't real life not an act as well? Or does everyone here have split-personality disorder where when they get online their identity suddenly morphs? If a person has an online identity and a "real-life" identity, what then, will you take as the "real" identity? Know that these are "real-people" sitting behind their computers, not people who becomes CPUs when they get online.
Findings Wrote:The people that are naive and take it seriously, as if the people thousands of miles away that they have never met before genuinely care about them are the people that are sad, not the people that see it for what it is and choose to get married for an actual purpose (apples).In real life, people have identities. You know their personality in real life.
Online, people have identities. You know their personality online.
So what's the difference between someone presenting themselves in real life and online?
Also, I didn't say you had to care about each other. Maybe the casual chat, an online friend who's an online spouse doesn't have to be a virtual love.
What then, is the purpose of your buddy list? To use it as a list to gather those you train with? Guild, merely to GPQ and form bossing parties?
You are too cynical.
