Arwoo's Ride Stops Here - Farewell MS Community
Longest roller coaster I've been on with an awkward ending. Fits the awkward start of my ride though yeah? I've spent a number of years working with various communities and by far, MapleStory has been the most difficult and most rewarding.
Everyone here at Nexon will be the first to tell you that I'm terrible when it comes to making analogies, so I'm going to borrow one that the community frequently used to describe their relationship with MapleStory. This community was the best abusive relationship that I will forever hate to love.
For me, in the two years I got to spend with all of you, I’ll forever recall all the moments where it felt like everything was game over. I’ll regret the many times where I could not help all of you. I’ll remember all the laughs you’ve given by memeing the hell out of me. I won’t forget the times where this community gave us their genuine gratitude despite our hardship.
MapleStory community, you have all come a long way and I want to thank you all for letting me grow with you. You’re one of the most helpful towards new and returning players. You’re some of the most skeptical and critical towards game changes. You’re all the most dedicated and passionate community that the PC gaming world will ever see. It sounds impressive, but it should be a given as many of us grew up with MapleStory's over a decade long journey!
All I have left to say is that I’m going to miss you all. I know that the feeling might not be mutual from every single one of you, but like I said from the start, this community was the best abusive relationship that I will forever hate to love.

“So I heard you were the CM for MapleStory? What was that like?”
“Oh man. . . brace yourself for one hell of a story”
and 3 others.

jk, I know I gave you a lotta crap, but I still think overall you did a pretty good job as CM.
Wish you the best of luck for the future
I expect a combat roll out of your final stream
My first impression of you might not have been great, but over time you really changed my mind, especially during the past year. I appreciate your help in bringing back the Erda set due to the bugs it had on release, and also helping to make obtainability rates public for things such as Marvel Machine, Gachapon, and Surprise Style Boxes. I occasionally pestered you with requests or concerns, but though most things were not in your control, you were always considerate and sympathetic and tried to help with what you could.
While I'm on MapleStory mainly for the cosmetics, I found it really cool to have a fellow Angelic Buster as our community manager, and I learned a bit more about how to play AB from watching some of your streams.
Thank you for being our community manager for the past two years. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
You spoiled us with your swag and care.
HOMEBOY GOT YOTE HARD
For those who missed the stream and want a feels trip! https://streamable.com/yrusl
It's been 8 crazy/cringy years working with you.
I remember I plucked you from another community and stuck you under my wing. You were still a little chick... but now you have grown up and left the nest. Wishing you the best of luck on your next adventure.
Eight years what
It's possible he was working at Nexon long before he became a CM.
Either that or he's using the wrong time-frame meme.
Farewell Aru, these last 30 years were something else.
Ill miss you Aru. I hope we will meet again, and I wish...I had gotten to touch your glorious hair. If I ever make it big in the CM world...Ill always remember you.
