Way I see it, the only reason to level is to play the game with your friends. Reason why I've been gone is that I've been playing Maplestory with a bunch of awesome friends on there

. I dont even care about levelling, Im the same level as them and it's pointless to become stronger.
Whats funny are "serious" gamers..aren't games made to be fun? I mean I understand serious parts IN the game but what's the point of gaming if you are "serious"?
