Twitch streamer explains how he feels after boss move in MMORPG: “It’s going bad for me”

earthpressnews

Twitch streamer Niru had the chance to become the first to reach level 300 in the MMORPG MapleStory. The Nexon company and his own family wanted to celebrate him and had prepared gifts. But he decided to be a hero, to forego his triumph and to please the developers of the online role-playing game. Now Niru is struggling with the consequences.

What a heroic deed he did?

  • Niru has gone to incredible lengths to become the first to reach level 300 in the online role-playing game MapleStory: this requires an extreme grind over many thousands of hours.
  • But when he was close to level 300 on April 25th and when 21,000 people were watching him on Twitch, and even the MMORPG itself was promoting him, he stopped playing.
  • Instead, he gave an angry speech explaining everything that was going wrong with MapleStory, criticizing problems in the cash shop and criticizing errors in the general direction of the game.

    Nobody thanks him for doing the right thing

    How is he now? He’s not really enjoying his situation because at the moment he’s mostly feeling the negative effects of the decision:

  • MapleStory sent him a gift box before the stream to open it on the stream – but he doesn’t do that because he hasn’t reached level 300
  • In the run-up to his success, his family had told him how proud they were of him, prepared gifts and showered him with love – all of that is gone too. He feels like he has let everyone down
  • His extensive content plans for how he would continue in MapleStory have also vanished into thin air – he can no longer play the game that was his life’s purpose for so long

    • In addition, he now has significantly fewer viewers with other games than with MapleStory last week. The number of viewers fell from 21,458 at the peak (April 25th) to 160 (May 1st).

    People accuse him of doing it just for fame

    That’s added: Nobody really thanks him for “doing what he thought was right”, people tend to accuse him of only doing it for personal glory – no matter how much he claims that it was only for him the long-term health of the game went.

    Plus, he can’t just play new games now. He always brushed off all his old friends who asked him to play with them over the years because he had to grind MapleStory. Now they wouldn’t play the new games with him either.

    All understandable, but still annoying, as he says.

    From his perspective, he says, he still stands by his decision because it was the right thing and it was wrong to live up to expectations of him and simply level up to level 300. Because then nothing would have changed.

    But you have to clearly see that he and his stream would be doing much better if he had only leveled up to level 300. Things are currently “really bad” for him.

    Somehow it doesn’t seem so attractive to do the right thing if it turns out that way.
