Violent Son and Maple Story
Welcome on Maple Mesos. Today I would like to introduce scary story related to another crazy gamer. Well, this time we go to Japan where an addicted Maple Story player goes off on parents after his parents try to disable his account. According to Daily Mainichi, a third-year junior high school student, became obsessed with the Maple Story last fall. He was good student, but soon after that, he stopped going to school. Panicked parents, asked the game’s publisher Nexon to disable their son’s Maple Story account and then their beloved son turned violent, prompting them to call the police. “The boy, frantic, leaned out a second-story window and screamed that he would die if he couldn’t play the game. Worn down, his parents pleaded with Nexon to reinstate the account.”
Well now, boy sits in front of the PC around 15 hours a day. His parents describe him that “he has a stern gaze and looks like a different person,” and “He’s brusque with us, but sometimes, when he’s facing the computer screen, he’ll suddenly let out a chuckle…” Well, this is creepy, but I don’t think that Maple Story IS in fact problem in this story. Boy has probably mental problems and Maple Story isn’t responsibility for these kind of behaviors. In my opinion it can be major depressive disorder, according to wikipedia “is a mental disorder characterized by an all-encompassing low mood accompanied by low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.” Anyway I hope everything gonna be alright, there is nothing more important then our health…
See you again on Maple Mesos
