    Maple Moneymaker
    I have fallen victim to the most blatant marketing strategy.
    I went in with my eyes wide open, but still....

    Honestly, my record now stands at:

    Cute stuff : 98451498413
    Me : 0

    I admit!
    I spent money on Maple Story.
    Actually, I only spent The Chosen One's money on maple story at first then I decided I wanted to buy something for The Chosen One because he was complaining that he looked stupid in his helmet so I shelled out some money of my own and bought him a bandana.
    The thing about Maple is that they let you customise your hair, and hair colour, and for a certain amount of cash, let you change your hairstyle and hair colour permanently later on.
    Then they have the most awful head gear that covers the hair and you end up looking all weird and ugly.
    So of course people like me, who value cuteness and prettiness above a lot of other things, will shell out even more money to buy something to put on my poor avatar's hair to cover the really ugly helmet.
    And Maple will make it so that whatever item you choose to use money to buy, will override the graphics of that really ugly helmet, but retain all the properties of the helmet.
    They are really good money makers.

    And, The Chosen One got me a pet in Maple Story.
    Yep, pets costs money too.
    You see, there are actually very little things that do not cost money in Maple Story.
    My brown kitty is on its way to level 10 for them to talk, instead of meowing all day long (yes, I have to level them too) and I heard that kitties have quite an attitude when they start talking.
    Aelynna's panda was already one attitude panda right at the beginning. After level 10, her panda started scolding her....

    And I think I got Aelynna a little...too hooked on Maple Story at the moment.
    Oops.
