I ultimately quit because a lot of people on Maple are sick. Honestly, the people I have seen are... disturbing. I have met my share of good people, (usually older, mature people,) but a lot of people on Maple are very immature, rude and selfish. I am a very giving person and I had a habit of giving items to other people, and a lot of people used me for that. On Maple I encountered a sexual predator, a 32 year old woman pretending to be 19 and using her sexuality on 13-15 year old boys, getting them to KS random people for her, (she got in conflict with virtually everyone because she was psychotic,) and ultimately getting in trouble. One of my Maple friends was a very disturbed person, always being nice one moment and extremely rude the next. When I was in a very bad place in my life and was suicidal, he just said to me "so what, my dad was suicidal too." When I quit Maple, one of my friends maintained contact with me over MSN, mentioning how his brother stole his items or his mom took his NX money away. Eventually I felt bad and gave him some NX, and he just became this bloodsucking, leeching parasite, doing nothing but trying to get items and money from me. Calling this guy a "n00b" is a big understatement because he actively pretended to be my friend for two months, when I wasn't even playing, with the sole reason of sucking money out of me. I actually trusted him with my lvl 117 white knight. It's a miracle I was able to change the pin, which I think was possible because he didn't feel the need to change it, knowing I'd never come back. When I called him on his bullshit, he claimed that he had gotten greedy, but he'd never do it again, that he only wanted to be my friend now, etc. Of course, no guy will go from bloodsucking parasite to being a loyal friend in one day, so I told him if he steals my account I'll send a Zakuming party after him.
I also had very good friends on Maple. One was a Hong Kong player, and I fully equipped him, buying him a Zakum helmet and a 118 attack Morningstar. When his Zakum run to get his helmet came, I spent 3 hours attempting the Jump quest for him, (failing.) We were very good friends. That was the lvl 117 White Knight in question. When he couldn't use his character anymore, he left it, (with all its godly s**t,) to me. My other good friend, who still plays, always cares for me and looks out for me. She likes Maple a lot, but ultimately she knows it's best for me that she talk about something else, so we rarely talk about Maple now that I quit. For these two and people like them, I donated a total of 4 billion mesos, including 3 Zakum helmets, by the time I quit. I never got past level 84, but honestly, when dealing with friendship and loyalty, level is not the most important deciding factor. It felt really good playing Maple with such friends. I almost never KSed anyone, but my friends didn't let anyone bully me either. There were times when my friends told me to hold my map, took the ship, came to my map, and KSed the bully out.
If my good friends were all that was to Maple I probably would still be playing. But the truth is, sick and disturbed people gravitate to the internet like s**t to flies, and no matter how hard you try they will find you. I quit, got my friends' MSN, gave my stuff away, and it was the best thing I ever did. This stuff really really disturbs me, and I am just sorry the moderating presence on Maple is worse than on Gaia, because getting such people banned would be a very big pleasure for me.
