The moments when I was happiest playing MapleStory

After playing Maple for such a long time, I’ve been through all kinds of things,

and out of all of them, when I have a moment that really makes me happy, I always make sure to save it as a video or a screenshot so I can come back and feel that same emotion again.

For videos, I use OBS Studio and the Windows 10 recording feature, and for screenshots I use Maple’s screenshot key,

and today, I want to share the happiest moments I’ve had while playing Maple!

The moment I won the nickname I wanted in the New Name Auction

My current nickname, Harang, was the one I’d wanted ever since I first started Maple,

so when the very first New Name Auction launched and the name Harang came up for auction, I sold every item I could possibly sell in-game and scraped together 1,341,546 Maple Points, but it wasn’t nearly enough, and it ended up selling for 1.4 million Maple Points.

I was so heartbroken back then that I cried, and I almost quit Maple over it, but I got a lot of comfort from the person who bought the Harang nickname, and after that I threw myself back into the game so I could keep saving Maple Points and be ready to win it no matter what when the day finally came that they put Harang back up for sale.

Then, when the New Name Auction after the next one came around, the nickname Harang was listed again,

and this exact moment, when I finally won the Harang nickname, was the happiest moment I’ve ever had in Maple!!

Even my shaking mouse says everything about how desperate I was, and every time I see it I think I was so right to leave this as a video.

This happened a pretty long time ago now, so the memory had started to fade little by little, but watching the video again brings back how badly I wanted it then, and it leaves me feeling all soft inside..🥹

The moment I solo cleared Hard Will for the Genesis liberation quest

K-004

From the very beginning of my Genesis liberation quest, I worried a lot about the Hard Will part.

Because of the Phase 3 web pattern, Hard Will is easier to attempt as a duo than solo,

but I hated the idea of being a burden to someone else because of my hands,

and I really wanted to clear the Hard Will liberation quest on my own, so I kept practicing and eventually I made it.

Out of the whole 8 months I spent doing the Genesis liberation quest, this was the happiest moment!

At the time, I was so excited after clearing the Hard Will liberation quest that I wanted to brag about it in a smega, but in the end I didn’t.

If I had to pick just one boss achievement of mine that’s actually worth bragging about, it would be this, so maybe I should have..?

2,000 Boutique Gifts the moment they dropped

The moment my luck absolutely exploded in Maple.

As soon as I started opening the Boutique Gifts, I kept getting just 1 or 2 over and over, so I instantly regretted buying them, and then right at the end, 2,000 dropped!!!

With the money from selling the tickets, I bought some outfit items and even cleanly pushed my Ete Star Force all the way to 22 stars.

Because of this memory, these days I buy one set whenever Boutique Gift gets released.

Of course, nothing that huge has happened with Boutique Gift since then,

but still, you never know how these things go, so from now on I’m definitely buying at least one set every time Boutique Gift comes outㅎㅎ

The moment I got a level 4 RoR for my own use from a boss ring box

At the time, a level 4 RoR cost around 9 billion mesos, so it was just too expensive,

so I decided I was going to pull one from a boss ring box and use it myself.

But up to that point, every boss ring box I’d gotten had only given me trash rings, so I was getting more and more discouraged, when

one day, from a boss ring box that dropped while I was fighting Cernium Slime,

my first-ever Restraint Ring appeared.

I opened my equipment window without expecting much, and it was a level 4 RoR!!

It was one of the moments that made me happiest, because with that, my seed ring setup was finally done.

So these are the four moments in Maple that stayed with me the most and made me the happiest,

and from here on out, I want to make even more happy moments for myself while playing Maple.
