I finally came to my senses and reinstalled gMS after a long time ;) . I left the game with a 46 hunter with ALL his level 50 stuff lined up and waiting in my inventory. So I was happily swimming around in aquaroad and killing teh fishies for 15mins when I looked at my exp... 0.4% up. Now I don't remember it taking this long to get exp (probably why I left :S) So I was just wondering what keeps you motivated to keep on going and what keeps you from getting bored of the repetition? :(

Trying to become a Hermit, even though its getting hard to level.

Beating my Ranger friend to 80 (which I probably won't do).

Kekeke.

you know what i do is put a piece of tape over my exp bar so i dont know if im lvling fast or slow...its a mystery....

You could put your equipment slot over the exp bar too. That way you won't have to use a piece of tape and you can use it for something else ^^

I just like MapleStory. I guess what keeps me going is seeing my character progress and get stronger. You start off as a begginer doing 3-4 dmg every time you swing your little club and turn into a giant spear wielding Dragon Knight that destroys anything in it's path. I also love getting new equipment ^^

*updates character thread*

That's an awesome idea XD. It feels so long when you watch the exp bar tick everytime you kill something. I'll try it tomorrow when I get my PC set up thanks :P

my high level friends keep me motivated. I actually think high of my exp bar. If i get .02% per kill ill be like thank god it aint .01%

Story.Strafe. It looks elegant and beautiful, and also has sick damage, I cannot wait. Also, I guess I'd second Pun's answer, I jsut like Maple Story.
