I used to be a crazy Nintendo DS Wifi player, namely with the game Metroid Prime Hunters. It was a late summer night in July of 2006 that I saw a thread about MapleStory on an MPH clan website, and decided I'd give it a try. I downloaded the game that night, and started playing at midnight.
I didn't stop until 4 am, and wasn't even Lv. 10 yet. Don't ask how, but the quests and Maple Island itself just drew me in.
Oh, and FrozNlite? One of my respected friends and superiors in Metroid Prime Hunters was a Sylux player with the userID of Sh[]ckWave. I thought that looked cool, and being a Noxus user, wanted to find a neat way to represent my character with an appropriate word combination. Thus, Fr[]zNlite was born.
When I was asked to create a character that night, in the middle of my Metroid Prime Hunters career, I figured I'd use the same name - after all, it looked and sounded cool. But stupid Nexon wouldn't allow [], so I figured I'd substitute in the real letter.
Thus, FrozNlite was born.
***************************************************************************
Moral of the story? I had no idea at the time people named their characters after their class, something I still didn't know when I chose LOLFP a month later because it had the strongest 2nd Job Magician skill. It's a neat coincidence my IGN worked out the way it did with my class, yet had no bearing on class distinction at all when created.
