Maplestory is just a game. We all know it, yet we all get attached to the charming entertainment as to talking to peers who appreciate values similar to ours. That these simple characters we create obtain no value besides the blood, sweat and endurance we put in them and the players who see it.
I started off with a shadower, a prideful class, with nothing to show but our flashyness. I spent 3 years getting to 4th job on it, making poor decisions a long the way with a very nasty break up. I grew up my teenage life with that character and as I started a new one it rots in its once proud glory. Tonight I'm doing something that some of you may disagree, even feel the need to hit me in the face as I feel the need to now. As a year past and i outleveld, outgeared, out amazed my shadower, the memories I hold with it have slowly diminished as well. The hell i had to go through with it, the pain i had to endure as that ridiculing voice of "you're useless" trailed me behind every attack. Each hour digging me deeper and deeper to an endless void of no purpose but to compete, to make others envy I have a class they always secretly wanted. I only came to find out after 3 years it was all for not.
I have so much passion and hate for this character. So much pride yet so much shame of the wasted time. Maplestory is a game, but that character was the result of my passion.
I have decided to sell the account. It might be banned, it might not but the money for it, for something I don't use anymore is too much to pass up. It tears me up but I know, deep down it's the best thing I can do. I have put a value on my passion, I have lost my pride. With the birth of dark knight, it seems my priceless character has had a price smacked across its forehead, and at the same time, stripped of my pride, myself.
Obliteration, I see you, how is paradise?
