1. What time period (ex. 2006-2008 or January 2008 - June 2009) do/did/will you enjoy the most of MapleStory? Winter 2006 to summer 2007.
2. Why did you choose that time period? My buddy list was as active as it had ever been (45 people online out of 50 pretty much constantly), guild was thriving, training was fun.
3. What, if anything, do you LIKE about the progression of the game since beta? More content.
4. What, if anything, do you DISLIKE about the progression of the game since beta? Very heavily based on $$$, less work needed now to get to the same place as you used to have to put in, aimed at a younger audience, aimed at a less patient audience.
5. What feature of the game kept you playing the longest, during whichever period? While "friends" is an understandable answer, I'm curious what parts of the game itself people really enjoy/enjoyed/will enjoy. Bossing as a group, training as a group. Talking to people that I met and started to get to know.
6. In viewing GMS as a whole since its inception in the world of MapleStory, what are the lasting thoughts, memories, impressions, and emotions you will never forget? Honestly, everything post 4th job is sort of a blur, I didn't really like the way the game was progressing then but I think I'll remember training at Grims and Squids/Gobies with a party of 6 for a long time.
I decided to quit MS about 6 days ago, prior to this patch being released... I'm quite glad. This would have probably pulled me back in but I can just smile and hope that existing players of the game will enjoy it. I don't really like the way everything is changing, but I suppose it has to in order for the game to keep earning money.
