After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream (www.gamesradar.com)

I think I played maple story in like 2007 and it was garbage then. My excuse at the time was I was broke, and there weren't many good free games out. Path of Exile wasn't until 2013. Same with Warframe. Huh I never realized those came out the same year.

I didn’t realize 2007 was after the pinnacle of F2P gaming

Between demos that could be full games, flash games, open source, and Byond f2p used to be so huge
