“Few blades cut deeper than the edge of unrequited love.” This sentiment acutely portrays the nature of my grievance caused by the abrupt removal of The Legends Return.
In the summer of 2015, I embarked on my new PvP career. I had fed the opposing team so well that they became as fat as my mother, who was so fat she was able to travel to China from Canada in one step. Eventually, I learned from my mistakes and grew stronger. On September 17th, my sister, Emily, grew ill. A week later she was diagnosed with a hematoma. The doctors told us she had very little time left -- time that needed to be cherished. I introduced her to PvP. Thus, we participated in daily scuffles via The Legends Return.
We lost her on October 5th. It is still tremendously painful for me to speak of this experience but I believe that this is necessary for our cause. To me, The Legends Return embodied not only the positive community found in MapleStory, but also Emily. I continued to play alone, but I felt as though my sister were still with me. When I opened the patch notes to see that our game had been removed… I cannot find the words to describe the desolation I felt.
