He’s limit testing and most people dont do this. Probably only 5-10% of the population actively 4-8 mage farms off event. Maybe 10-20% 4-8 mage farms during farming events.
There are Dota2 players who live in gaming houses and play Dota for nearly 12 hours straight. They are professional players who make millions of dollars at international game tournaments. You DO NOT have to aspire to them as a regular person. (Although you can) Same with this case. Just play Royals for nostlagia, chatting, WHATEVER! You do not need this level of farm to complete all of Royals' content!
Sorry but this sounds like an excuse for poor game design. Servers that incentivize just 1 character play just have better economies. But I have my answer so yeah that's that.
It doesn't stop you from playing nostalgia or any way. (I only play on 1 or 2 characters lately, enjoying the nostalgia experience) If you want everyone to play on only one character, well, you are on the wrong server, my guy. (multi-client leech, farm, boss...etc)
Old school maplestory was originally poor game design Even what you are playing is a "private server"
It's RG story/NT solo story now. Alternatively, ripping people off or being FM/RG entrance vacuum cleaner Spoiler You aren't wrong but the server has gone too far down this path for any changes. And the community would be vehemently against it for the most part. It's also true that that video in your post has unfortunately inspired many players new and old to emulate it.
I think sharing this is better than gatekeeping. It indeed inspires players but it also allows the whole community to be aware of it; Allowing players to give feedback and letting GMs understand the potential of mage farms so they could have better knowledge if they should make any changes. (I think a lot of mage farm restrictions or alternative Meso earn methods were added after) If anyone is against it, please reply here and share your opinions.
Hi! I started farming too just to see how abusable it was and honestly I was kind of underwhelmed. Off event today I peaked 220m an hour (pure mesos) 6 mage pepe (first time doing it) but it sounds about right. I cycled the channels though out the day and generally only saw 2~3 other people doing it. I think consistently would be 3 from what I saw. Which means that only 9/20 channels occupied at any time. (between 4:00 ~ 12:00) With the assumption that everyone gets 20 bees and completes in 30 mins (obviously not) we can project what RG currently looks like as it's almost 100% full and generally RG is considered healthy good content for the server. RG Hours/day 24 channels 20 RG 30 mins Runs per Day 960 Income per RG 100 Mesos Injected (m) 96000 Mesos Injected (b) 96 (prob reduce this by ~20% but gives us an idea) With Multi Mage farming being less than half utilized to RG we can probably guess it injects about 40~50b a day into the server in pure Mesos off event as it's comparable enough to hourly RG Mesos gain. In my opinion Is Multi Mage farming great money -> Yes Is Multi Mage farming over rated? -> Slightly over rated but still really good Is Maple Royals Farm Story -> far from it From some one who did lots of research and actively tried to spy on others to steal information I feel it's blown out of proportion how damaging this is to the economy. The majority of players in the game don't do multi mage farm, there is plenty of great normal content to enjoy here!
You might have forgotten to include ulu 1 mage farming and not only pepe. ☺️ So you can probably double that income as the status is about the same at Ulu 1 as Pepe.
