Note: Wall-of-text-ish. Basically a slightly distilled version of my mapling history. I switch between classes a lot, so...yeah.
First character I ever made was on GMS, a Thief with "balanced" stats and a "versatile" skill build (i.e. had both Double Stab and Lucky Seven). Stopped at Lv13, and quit GMS due to the insanely long download duration for the patches (was using dial-up at that point, and I didn't live in the US so yeah...and by insanely long I mean upwards of 10 hours).
When MSEA started up, I remade said Thief armed with the knowledge of what stats and skill I should invest in. Made another Thief as well so that I could play both Bandit and Assassin...the "Bandit" was abandoned at Lv2x and the Assassin at 3x due to me having more fun playing a Cleric (which I quit at Lv47 because it got too hard to level up. The account got hacked anyway, so I could ditch it easily). Made a Warrior next with the intention of making a Page (coincidentally, her name included "paladin", despite 4th Job not having been announced yet), screwed up my HP by pumping points into attacks first and leaving Improved MaxHP Increase for last.
Anyway, I made a ton of characters after that (including an I/L Wizard which I quit at Lv56) but never actually got very far. Then the 4th World (Delphinus) opened up and I figured it was time for me to make a clean start in a new world since there was this event for a bandanna with a pretty nice allstat bonus. Remembering my failed Thieves and a very helpful Chief Bandit I met while grinding my Cleric, I decided to give Bandits another try (not wanting to conform to the norm though, I made a STR Bandit). It was practically love at first sight with Savage Blow. Anyway, the grind got way too much around Lv7x so I quit that as well, and due to some pressure from a friend I decided to head back to Aquila (said friend left for Bootes shortly after I returned...). Incidentally, that was when Pirates were released in MSEA, so I made TriggerYukii and kept on going despite the low damage and major grind. Grind got too much, quit around Lv55 and after playing around with some other classes eventually decided to make ANOTHER Bandit (LUK Bandit this time, since I now knew that STR didn't benefit them much), which is now a Shadower and my highest-leveled character.
But yeah, I still don't stick with my characters much; I constantly try out new classes and stuff. :x
