It has been a long time since I have last played Maple Story. Looking at those time I had in Maple Story, it was fun. I remembered, my highest pinnacle in the game was when I was in secondary2 (2005). I could say that I was obsessed then by this game. I practically played it throughout the whole day. But whats made me "hooked" to this game was mainly the simple, effective interface of the game. As those who plays Maple Story would know that it is a 2D (2Dimensional) game. When any player walk past you in a map, in the same channel, you could easily see him. Unlike in a 3D (3Dimensional) game where you have a 360 degrees of sight. Weird but true, I didn't make any friends in those 3D games I played. However, in Maple Story, its' 2D game has an impact on players interaction with each other. It was easier to make friends in the game. I seen many of my classmate and peers who had played the game and made lots of new friends in Maple Story. So, I too had made some friends in Maple Story. I think most of you would concur with my view!

In this 2D world, most of the people we meet are strangers. Most adults would be worried sick when their child played an online role-playing game, where their children get to interact with many diverse people. I do agree, that it there is a danger to get to know strangers online. I was actually relatively "lucky" if you might say. Those friends' which I had come to know in Maple Story, was around my age, so we do cling along quite well. Of course not forgetting playing Maple Story together, doing quest, training our character. It has been three long years that had past, since I started to play Maple story. I quited the game early last year. But the times I had with my maple friends' was nice and memorable. I would never forget those time i was "hooked" to Maple Story. However, as life go on, there will be less time for gaming as exams comes into the picture. I was glad that I had once played and made some new friends through gaming.

If anyone were to ask me what does online gaming mean to me, it means, "Playing a game with your good friends, enjoying that moment with your friends together." I would not want to regret. I want to look back at my younger days in future and say, "I had played well, and did the craziest thing in my life and enjoyed it."
