Maroone9 is a currently active, Florida-born Runescape player. (Debut: November 2000. Age 7). He currently still resides in South Florida.
Personality
Maroone9, aka Mike in Real-life, is very humble about his gameplay, though he isn't really well-known in the world of Runescape. It doesn't matter weather your Level 3 or Level 138, he will tend to befriend you in any way. He tends to be one of "The Jokers of Runescape", due to his overwhelmingly humorous and abnormal personality. No matter the situation, he remains humorous and estatic. He will tend to wear his original armor and weapons (Helm of Nezitnot, Penance Torso, Dragon Plate Legs, Dragon Boots, Barrows Gloves, Amulet of Glory, "Obby" Cape, and his weapon of choice, the Abyssal Whip [Though at times, The Barrelchest Anchor])
" Not ALL high levels are jerks. I mean it IS a game. Have fun! Don't let it control your life, especially the higher levels.
Just cause they are powerful in the game, doesn't mean they are in Real-Life. I'm pretty sure no one is going to wear
armor and obtain "Ancient Magical Abilities" on the street...Though that would be sweet!" -Maroone9 (2010. Statement on abused/Bullied "Fresh Players")
His abnormal and humorous attitude makes him basically easy to befriend. Though no matter how serious the situation is, he tends to get a laugh from it at times.
He also helps out unexperienced, down-on-their-luck new guys by donating a portion of his riches.
"..Hey. EVERYONE was a "Noob" at something. Even High Levels were noobs. So they get annoyed cause they busted their butts to get that high, but what do you care? Hahaha That's them, this is your life and your strategy. Personally, I'm sure them noobs don't care what hardships you've gone through to get such a high level. I even felt the struggle of being a noob, working my way up. Everyone needs a little boost once in a while. Give em' a break. Annoying as they may be to you hahaha" -Maroone9 (Comment on "Fresh Players" aka "Newbs and Noobs")
''"One day, these "noobs" will become role models of the Runescape world. Maybe even a famous Runescape Celeb like Zezima, or a kind-hearted soul like The Old Nite. Maybe even catch up to the great Gertjaars. Hey, who can say really. I'm not Ms. Cleo..." -Maroone9 (Commenting on "Fresh Players")''
Could Andrew be watching us?..hmmm
Debut
He was inspired by his brother (Blade 125) and his brother's best friend (Sepioroth). At age 7, He began to join the craze that went on around his neighborhood. "Maroone9" is based off the name of the Maroone Car Dealership his father use to work at. Maroone9 was created November 2000. Young Mike played day and night, gaining more knowledge of Runescape and gameplay. Over the years, he developed a strong bond with the game, playing Runescape most of the time of day. He would even sometimes pretend to be sick to stay home from Elementary school to play Runescape. Mike became obsessed with Runescape, until his Hiatus on May 2003.
"..EVERYONE in my neighborhood played Runescape. The graphics were...crap... at the time, but it was so ADDICTING! It was scary, but eh..." -Maroone9 (His bond with Runescape)
'"I also remember when my guy would go sooo slow. It would take you a good 45 minutes to an hour to get to Ardougne from Lumbridge without teleportation. Sepioroth would say I'm "Sir Slow-Alot" Hahaha and you couldn't run from battle before three turns nor could you eat during battle. I also looked like I was carrying a cyan-colored stick, when its really a Rune Longsword. My Rune Medium Helm looked like I had a bullet head. The graphic were amusing, its crazy how it all changed."' -Maroone9 (Talking about his gameplay on RSC)
Hiatus
After being unexperienced in "The Wild" (Wilderness) and being scammed multiple times, He decided to take a break from the game, losing most of his love for the game. It wasn't until March of 2004 that he returned with confidence and continued to explore the new Runescape 2 world. His brother quit playing in 2003, giving his account away. However, Sepioroth stuck by his side and were two companions that helped each other out, as well as completed quest. Along with 0Hott_Girl0, the trio hung together on Runescape over the years when Mike was age 12. Sepioroth went Semi-Retired in 2009 and so did Maroone9. Though on November 2009, Maroone9 returned (To celebrate the 9th anniversary of his account) and continued playing ever since. He first became a member in July 2004 after being impressed with the sudden graphic changes to Runescape, being appearently better than Runescape Classic.
"...I was a sore loser. People who scammed me a lot, just...really got to me when I was little. hahaha" -Maroone9 (2008. Commenting on his Hiatus)
"..Sepioroth was my friend for almost 11 years now. We even made The Runetimes website together. Hes in his 20s now, so hes semi-retired now. I'm still in High school
and still have a strong bond for the game. The good old days were awesome!" - Maroone9 (Commenting on his past gameplay)
'"..Man, when I turn old, I'm going to play Runescape for the rest of my years. Just like when we were kids! hahaha."' -Maroone9 (Setting future aspirations)
Today
Maroone9 (Mike) current still plays Runescape and is an active member as well. He is planning to go for 99 strength and 99 Attack as well. He also plans to save up for a Godsword and Bandos Armor.
"..Because it's soo shiny!" -Maroone9 (On Bandos Armor)
"Back in the days, Dragon was like..the ULTIMATE armor in P2P and Rune would be the best. Now we got Barrows and Bandos armors, which we have to kill purple ghosts and BIG A-..Butt creatures, even that one lady-angel-eagle-bird that fights for saradomin. Yeeeaaa...She may be a girl, but she's rough." -Maroone9 (Armors and Icyene species)
"... And what could be Runescape without the Highway Man stopping you from going to Port Sarim or Draynor Village? Ah...Memories." -Maroone9 (On RSC)
"...I even remember the June 6th, 2006 Massacre. I completely avoided that world. Hey..I was smart and a coward hahahaha. Sepioroth was freaking out, but enjoying the show. I sat on the sidelines. Benchwarmer all the way!" -Maroone9 (6-6-06 Runescape Glitch Massacre)
