Well now that I'm actually doing quests, things are a lot faster. >_< I was just killing monsters before lol.
I'm at a bit of a loss with the game. I have fun playing it and, with the new spells I've acquired, the figuring out of the system a bit better, and a new area that I'm slightly able to fight in, I can see this game as being a lot of fun. I like finishing the quests and gaining new levels because I know that means I can go to new areas so it isn't getting boring. That's what I didn't like about Maple Story: I'd have to train in the same areas forever and, when I got to a higher level, if I messed my stats up, I couldn't move to the next training area. -__-
But, I can also see that, if you don't have a group of friends to run around with, it's not as fun as it could be. I've been playing by myself despite the promises of friends to at least talk to me. T_T And this is kinda the reason that I picked it up and am trying to quit Maple story - I wanted to play with other people and not just run around leveling alone, which is what happens on Maple. Maybe it's because I'm not a level 70 and they are (they had me join their guild and I'm the lowest level in there by far) but it's kinda silly that it's that anti-newcomer. =/ I hope this issue gets better with time or I get some people to play with. It could also be because my friends aren't good at helping others but it just feels like I'm being alienated until I'm level 50+.
I know that this is the problem with most MMOs; when you start you're very behind everyone else. I guess it's because the world is so huge that they can't easily come over and at least show off their character. In Maple, since it's smaller, my higher level brother could easily come and help out my level 7 character. Then again, when I played PSU, my friend was a level 42 when I started playing and there were no problems playing together; in fact, I passed him in level after a while.
Oh and I got a little dragonhawk pet ^o^ (I think they look cool even if it doesn't do anything; I guess it keeps me company since I don't have anyone to play with)
