It doesn't reflect that you have interest in playing it now. That's my views anyways, since in 2.5 years of playing, I know a few friends who have done a good job of permanently quitting, but they still lurk on MS forums. While I haven't quit yet (I don't plan to anytime soon, short of "acts of fate"), I know I'd certainly come back to the forums for the community and the friends I've made.

To be perfectly honest, when the event began, I struggled to find a topic I could honestly interest myself in that concerned Maplestory, but clearly there's ways of talking without thinking! Really the driving force behind why I wrote this guide was so I could participate in a "!!!forum event!!!," and maybe to challenge my writing repertoire by trying a really different style and genre (I've never written in the "a guide to XYZ" genre before). After all, I'm a Fiel fan, a peace-and-joy-and-love-and-happiness fan, a speech-language-therapy fan and a writing fan - ultimately not a Maplestory fan. I hope humbly that such a person may exist on these forums without unsettling the waters too muchtbh, I wrote my guide to challenge myself as well xD I'll know I've improved in my writing skill for macro-sized content when I've managed to place in the top 3. (I'm mostly fine writing the small stuff.) My teachers and such say I have poor organization and rambling streaks of words. I know it's not exactly formal, but it's a competition, and I'm mostly seeing if I've gotten my points across on the wordier parts of my guide. I also respect Fiel, so I figured I could do a little contribution like this if I am going to be a cheap ass xD.
