- Despite we are Dutch, The Netherlands is just the tenth most viewed country?

The MapleStory Europe department
- Reached Level 200!
- Almost my two year anniversary of using my Ribgol Sword! It'll be on 4 January 2014.
- My sixth consecutive year of playing MapleStory Europe on my Hero!
- Managed to obtain the (level 1) skill links for Xenon, Demon Avenger, Angelic Buster, and Luminous.

- Soloing my first Horntail (Unlimited Patch).
Unfortunately... that is about all the large news or major milestones for this year.

Did you know...
- My character (Rayque) only has 33%-STR?
- It took me 2282 days to reach Level 200? Don't worry, the usual Mapler takes about one year to reach that level. Keep in mind that two-third of my playing time was before the Big Bang patch and less than 10% of my time goes into level training.
