Becoming a “Mapler” was a low-risk way to connect with Asian culture. But, at the root of it all, MapleStory helped me embrace my heritage. The cute artwork, fun skills, addictive gameplay, and ability to customize my character. There were so many reasons I enjoyed playing MapleStory. My college boyfriend introduced me to the game, which ironically became an escape for me when our relationship fell apart. The years of grinding, questing, and bossing culminated when my prized bishop, hellokittyx3, hit level 200 in 2010. I don’t know what is more embarrassing… that I was already in college when I got hooked on this MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) whose target demographic was 12-15 year olds, or that I continued playing it well into my thirties. I created my first MapleStory character in August 2005. “It’s like when I’m doing good in the game, I’m doing good in life.” (Dee, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
