Pemirsa, perkenalkan…. Maple Story ini adalah game legendaris buat gw…karena banyak kenangan. Rasanya, semua berawal dari game ini. Mau tau kenapa gw suka game ini?
Suatu hari gw online di MSN (tahun 2004) dan chatting sama temen gw yang ada di gaiaOnline. Namanya Royce Cho. Yak. Umurnya waktu itu 24 dan cowo asal Cina tapi tinggal di kanada. Tiba2 dia ngasi screenshot. trus gw buka. Eh ternyata screenshot game. Trus gw tanya, game apa nih?
namanya MAPLE STORY! Yakk…. pemirsa…game ini sangatlah berbahaya karena game online yang satu ini memiliki tingkat zat adiktif yang cukup tinggi. 1x 2x main ga ngaruh, tapi kalo udah dapet Job dan mulai quest2nya, aduh… susah deh. Ga bakal bisa lepas… NAGIH. Gimana ga nagih? Graphic 2Dnya keren gitu, apalagi jobnya keren2 pula.
Di game ini gw jadi magician (ga game ini doang seh, semua game online atau game2 lainnya yg gw maenin, gw lebih cenderung jadi magician. Emang sih kata orang lemah bgnt, tapi berhubung gw penakut dan ga mau nyerang musuh dari jarak dekat, yaaa…jadi magician aja deh :p ) dan seinget gw, gw udah lvl 27, ohiya FYI..di maple naik levelnya LAMA PISAN. Lo bisa stress karena nunggu naikin level kalo udah lvl 20++ Mana equipment2nya keren2 lg… Dan berita buruk, gw lupa password ID gw. MAMPUS. BUAAAAHHH =_=
Oiya, game ini juga sarana gw untuk bertemu teman secara dunia maya, dan kita sering hunting bareng kalo lagi ga ada kerjaan. wkwkwkw. seru dah…
dan sekarang, di liburan lebaran ini…gw ketagihan untuk ke 2 kalinya karena abis pasang speedy, dan speedy gratis ngenet dr jam 8 malem ampe 8 pagi smp 31 januari 2009. GIMANA GA NAGIH??? XD
