Starting/playing Maplestory has become the equivalent of trying to start an old used lawnmower
1st pull... its just a waste of time and does nothing
2nd pull... it sputters and coughs a moment yet, nothing happens
3rd pull... it's sputters to to life misfiring a bit, black smoke.. hopes are up and... it's dies
4th pull... it spits and sputters knocks and smokes but, somehow... its runs !!....
.... only to run out of gas and die again once you thought it started for good.
It doesn't matter how good of gas or oil (computer or internet connection) you put in it.. it's engine (core of game) is just a worn out, old pile of crap.
