I’m jumping a maplestory level 50 quest right now using Ariafrost (noob’s char) to accompany a friend who is doing the quest. Well, i did it like 9 months ago, in june 2005 before i stopped playing maple for a period of time before i resume now. Anyway, the point about bringing this up is to illustrate how rusty my jumping skills for this quest is.

At this moment, I am afm-ing (away from maple) to blog because i’m waiting for the rest. When i initially joined my friend in jumping, I finished one round (which surprisingly seems effortless because i was pretty lucky in the necki stage) before joining again. The second time i do the quest, many people logged into the same channel and we soon partied up to go through this ordeal together.

Well, this time round wasn’t as smooth as the previous. Probably the bad luck returned, I kept suiciding from the top. There was once i was at the portal already, but was testing if the platform above the fork can be landed on, and down i went. Regardless of being quite panicky about the necki stage this time, overall was pretty fun. I guess when you do something in a group, you tend to enjoy the session more especially when we have a common goal.

We actually vended our anger on necki when we reached the portal. Some of the party is still trying hard to reach the portal.

It was real fun to be jumping with my new made friends in maple because it is, simply fun. Ok, i know i am starting to be making no sense, but if u pieces up the bits you should roughly get what i meant.

I remembered how we used (noob, my dear and I) to be doing jumping quests together when we were still playing maple together. Noob always have the first ‘leg’ and managed to finish before us. I usually end up second, not far from noob (and yet can’t surpass yet for most of the quests),and my dear last . Anyway that was last year and things changed after they went to serve their national service. And afterall, noob had quitted maple. Well, my jumping skills probably have improved tremendously since then as i help several people do the jumping quests. I can now, probably say I am better than noob le. don’t care, i’m better! even though i can’t really prove though since he has long quitted.

The reason why i stayed away from maple for such a long time was due to lack of active friends in buddylist. Now, i don’t see the reason why i should stay away from maple with the growing acquaintance i met.
