I had big plans to get some suff done around the site and at home during the weekend, but unfortunately, I made a decision that will probably take over my life for a good while to come. You see, on Friday afternoon, I started playing an MMORPG. MapleStory, to be precise. I’ve never been overly enthusiastic about even trying an MMO, never really seeing the point, but I got sucked into MapleStory really quick. With it’s unbelivably cute sprite graphics and simple platformer gameplay, it was a temptation that a gamer like myself can only resist for so long. I mean, it’s not get-up-and-call-everyone-you-know fun or anything, but you just can’t get away when you’re so close to that next level or just need another five grand for that sweet new armor. I now understand how people’s lives crumble while playing these games. Fortunately, my wireless network (which is made mostly of LEGOs and bubblegum) isn’t 100% stable, so it goes out for a minute now and then and kicks me off the game, which is actually a really good thing in that it keeps me from playing obsessively.
So in conclusion, I say give it a shot. It may not be super complex or all the rage like World of Warcraft, but it’s a fun little game, and will eat away the hours really quickly (if you need something for that purpose). I play on Cassiopea 2 if you do decide to try it out (or already play). Keep an eye out for RyanDS and maybe we’ll do that party thing people are always talking about.
