A 450k Story

As I was looking for bow scrolls in FM entrance,
I got a trade request from McLeod23.
I accepted the trade, and after few compliments
about my character, he started ask me for money.
Not just “meso plz”, but he asked for 450k.

Thinking “Ugh not another guy asking for free stuff =/”,
I put on 20 Ice Cream Pop and let him had it.

(There were more talking but this is the short version;
he was saying he’s poor and he wants to buy attack pot and such)

Few minutes later, he traded me again:

.

Instantly I thought to myself “this guy is not just regular
low’er’ level asking for free items. (Other wise he wouldn’t trade me twice).
Didn’t take what he said seriously (about giving away his stuff)
But he got the meso he wanted.

.

As the story goes on, somehow we were talking
and he was telling me that he’s going to spend his last day
by taking that Pineapple Chew (+Att) and do some dmg
at Ant Tunnel. He asked me if I wanted to watch.
(I was at Ludi)
I agreed and traveled from Ludi to Victoria Island.

We had some good talk and I got to know him better

.

After getting DC’ed on ship 3 times, I bought VIP Teleport rock
and headed straight to his map because I felt bad for him waiting =/

.

So there he was, a lvl 4x Theif going to enjoy his last moment in MS.

When his attack potion ran out, (told me max dmg was 888)
He traded me and really stripped naked and gave me all his equipments.

Clean Maple Claw, 3 Stars, and his armors which are bought from NPC.

.

Those items don’t really worth much to me.

But after this incident,

I was thinking..

If I deny his second trade and moved on,
I would miss this opportunity to get to know this dude
and (to some level) become friends.

I don’t know…

.

This is the story that I “bought” with 450k.

And I think there’s something behind it
that I can’t articulate at the moment.

    wow, things like that dont happen too often, but i’m always glad when i meet people like this :\
    i think this is what maplestory is all about
    regards, josh =)

    after i read that story all i had was a grin on my face and a awkwardly mushy feeling inside lol. I think what you did was really nice and letting somebody enjoy his very last moments in MS and letting them have fun while doing is incredible.

    There were many moments that I kind of had the same feelings towards MS and wanting to quit like he did but after seeing that there really are people like you and the level 40 sin around it really makes MS seem like less of a ignorant game.

    Even though i no longer play MS because recently my account got hacked, after reading this story you changed my feelings about comming back and for that i thank you deeply. This just shows that people that are low level can still be great people and sometimes when people beg its because they really need it.

    Thanks alot

    This story was really sweet. I’m not all that high leveled, but I have been playing since beta closed. There were really nice pros back then, but now with NX and scrolls and everything, they all have huge egos.

    I’m glad you gave the money to that guy, and took the time to talk to him. I usually give low levels a boost if I’m not in a hurry somewhere. And I’m glad the world still has nice people around like you.

  4. B0WJOB says:

    yea….. 450k isnt small money to randomly give away to anyone..
    but im glad i did it..

    there are nicer people >_<

  16. phoenixaura says:

    It makes me wish chews were 80 attack.

    Theres an innocent guy sitting behind every character, and more than one wants to enjoy their last day of maplestory before school makes them quit.

    Inspiring story, even though I have barely 2mil.

  17. matt says:

  22. iherol says:

    so awesomely kind!

    we are all capable of good and evil

    i stopped blogging posts on this kind of things.

  23. buy mesos says:

    Interesting site, i have bookmarked your blog for future referrence 🙂

  24. Letmewatchthis…

    i admire what you have performed here. i enjoy the half exactly where you say you are engaging in this to give back again but i would suppose by all the responses that is operating for you as perfectly. do you have any much more information on this?…

  25. Unquestionably imagine that that you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to consider of.

    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other folks think
    about concerns that they just do not recognise
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , folks could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
