Fun and games

so yeah, I know I've been very absent blogwise. :3 I blame it on Maple Story. Yepp my newest game addiction. First of all it's free. You register and download the game from the website (about 80gB), install and then you create your own character. Then you start exploring the insanely HUGE (!) world that is Maple Story. The goal is to level your character up by training and hunting for monsters. Each killed monster gives you Experience points which in return help you gain levels and skill points. A nice part about the game is that you can choose professions. You can become a warrior/Knight or a wizard/mage, or a bandid/ninja or an Archer/hunter. Each job has their own clothes, weapons and abilities. Also since you play online, other people are all around you. You can chat with them or just say one or two things through a speach bubble system :) You can be in guilds and form parties (like fellowships, lol) where you benefit from each others' monster huntings by gaining EXP faster and also you can go on Quests for none-playable characters in the game which gives you items and EXP and money :D

The game is a real time RPG so you need to be a bit handy with your arrow keys since you gotta jump a lot but it's all in 2D which makes it easy on your computer and not so stressful on your eyes :)

Anyhoo. Give it a try if you like. When you DO sign up, make a character on the Broa Server/World since that's where my characters are and then we can play together :D
