So yeah, as far back as I can remember, this is the first extended 2x event that is happening on a weekday (Tuesday/5/11/10). This sparked the question in my alliance, "How many people would skip school for a 12 hour 2x event that runs through school hours? (for most people)"
Personally, I went to school without a debate. This is a very unusual day for an event like this though.

I don't skip university lectures when I'm feeling Ill unless I literally can't move, so the chance of skipping it for maple is 0, lol.

12 hours of 2x? Not worth ditching for.
That Thursday-Monday, 12 hours of 2x a day + half of Maple getting a free 2x Card that lasted that long way back in 07 or 08 Thanksgiving was worth ditching.

Same here.
Buuutttt, I did play since I had a little bit of free time waiting for my professor's office hours! Yay for 1.5hrs of 2x exp/drop?

When I was in High School I kind of wanted to, but Mom doesn't let me skip no matter what horrible disease I have, let alone on a whim.

If I wanted too, I could, but I didn't because Maple really isn't worth my time anymore. Plus, x2 started at 1pm est? I really only missed an hour, even if I wanted to train.

If someone skips school to play MapleStory, something is terrible wrong with them. Mentally.

My lectures ended 2 hours before the event started. Today is the only day I'm grateful for an 8:30 am lecture.

I didn't have school, nor do I play MapleStory, but I wouldn't have skipped if I did.

If someone has something "Terribly wrong with them, mentally" then they might be insane enough to skip for the sole purpose of getting a free gallos channel earlier.

For me class starts at 10 am ends at 12pm, no point of skipping class if i have the option to x4 from 2-10pm.
Most schools get out at 3, can do hw until 5 eat in between and can maple until x4 ends.

I have my own luck: When i "had" school, it was on the server check. I've done with school so I have the finals and i come only for them. And it is night right now so it is fine with me

I've been unable to get myself into a mood to play maple lately. That and I believe skipping school over a game is a little odd.
