I know this sort of thread gets made often but I really need to let it out. I've lost that spark, that motivation, passion, whatever you want to call it, to playing this game. This isn't a quitting, this game sucks, I hate nexon sort of thread. I still love this game and I'm not planning on quitting. But I just can't find any motivation to login anymore. I haven't actually seriously played in maybe 7 months. I think part of it is that the lag still hasn't been fixed after over a year but I think goes beyond that. Maybe it's the love of my life leaving me (yes, I'm still not over it), maybe it's the content that's gotten stale, time zone change, or whatever. It's not just this game either, the same thing is happening with pokemon (still haven't caught all the ultra beasts and haven't touched the game in months). I want that spark back. So if anyone has had a similar thing where they lost their spark, how'd you get it back? Or maybe this is me just growing up...

I know how you feel , happened to me some years ago.
I simply lost any motivation to play the game.
Than after 1 year i felt hyped again to play.
I think its normal, sometimes you need to take a break from something.
I got the spark again by remembering maple again after that year.
To get the Spark back ya need to set in-game goals for yourself. That is how I stay motivated to play. I do get bogged down by seeing hackers and lag everywhere but as long as I stay driven to achieving my in-game goals, I am brought back up.
There is a "Goals and Achievement" thread worth looking into on people who have goals to reach in Maple before they call it. It really does help if you are feeling the need for something to look forward to.
Also you can take breaks and find fun outside of Maple Story, when your spirits are up you can go to the website and keep up with the happenings of Maple or decide it isn't quite time yet to return and go about your day.
Make friends outside of Maple and add them to your favorite social media then tell them about the game and party with them to show them the ropes, this would be good for your motivation as well. Helping out your friends.
Try not to let the negative consume you, fight the Black-Mages influence of dread and despair and surround yourself with the Aura of Positivity. (=
Wait, do you mean you don't enjoy anything anymore at all? That sounds serious. Try talking to people close to you about it, you shouldn't deal with that alone. Hang in there, that feeling won't last forever.
That does sound bad. think you should talk to people like Pandabunnies said. I'm only hoping my other post brings a little smile to your face.
That sounds like serious stuff. Counseling would not be a bad idea. It may also help to see if there's any events or stuff you might be interested in in your area. Getting out and meeting new people could help a lot. Just keep trucking, you'll make it.
