What MapleStory Memories Do You Have?

It's a topic that I thought would be fun to discuss. If you've played the old MapleStory, what kind of memories did you have playing it? I'll start with mine:

1. I've seen my older sister playing the game back in 2006 I think? But anyway, I was really fascinated with how the game looked, so I really wanted to play it. My sister helped me get set up, and the first character I wanted to make was a warrior. I've created a warrior named Zenido. For the first time, I've made a stupid error with Zenido. I was distributing all of her stats, and I didn't know how to properly add stats to my character. Even my sister said my character sucked and I had to start all over. So I did that, and Zenido was better. She was a hybrid fighter back in the day because I couldn't make up my mind on what weapon I wanted her to use. XD Although she never became a hero (hell, she never became a crusader), she eventually did become one when I started playing on MapleRoyals. So on this server, I wanted to relive those days with Zenido (again) and have her become a great axe hero. So yeah, she means a lot to me.

2. When I training in some mini dungeon that had drum bunnies, one of the bunnies dropped a red whip, which I was really excited over. I knew that this weapon was very rare. When I told my sister, she was shocked and she wanted to buy it off of me. I don't remember anything else after that. I think I might've sold it to someone else.

3. I got myself one of those MapleStory gift cards where you could redeem them for nx. I got really hyped when I was able to buy some cash shop items. I hated the fact that they expired after 90 days, but it's a long time, so it's not too bad. I got black kitty ears, a dog tail, war paint, and that one ring that makes rainbow hearts float around my character. I wanted her to look like a coyote (I always like making my human characters nekomimis), though since I revived her, she's a tiger now. Once I get enough nx, she'll have her items like she does in MapleRoyals.

4. Around late 2009 when I was in the mu lung dojo, a high level player saw that I was an axe fighter, and he gave me a maple demon axe with really good stats. I asked if he was sure on giving it to me, and he said that I need it more than him. That was the best item I ever got in the game.

5. I was getting some compliments about being an axe warrior back in the day, and I still do when I play on the private servers. Some people were amazed, some were confused. And yes, I know axe warriors aren't quite as strong as sword warriors, but I don't really care. I think axes suit my character better.

So there you have it. Now then, I'd like to know your memories (if you have any). :3
