Bera

So in my opinion MapleRoyals is easily the best private server of all the ones availible and I doubt there will ever be a low rate server with so many features, bug fixes, and the proper nostalgic feel. But I have a complaint. As a new player I really dont see much of an appeal in joining a low rate server where everybody is already either end-game or close to it. Which is why I suggest another server similar to what Ellinia did (sorry if I cant name servers here) so that there is a place for new players to feel welcome. The official Maple also did this way back when. Its an easy way for people who were left behind to join in on the fun of a fresh community.

 

I dont think its really necesary, i have just 3 week playing, yes there are a lot of player that are funded, but its really easy to catch up those player, just need to get your way to money, exp, and if u are social enough ur get bossrun with guild, thats really nice i think.
Just have 1 player yet, and i feel really good with the server, and ppl in the server

 

Pretty sure Admins said this server isn't big enough to split the population into 2 parts. Anyway I dont see the point anyway. I joined later on than a lot of players but it didnt really take me long until I was strong enough to join boss runs like HT.

Having played a lot of small population servers I can definitely say it's preferable to play a high population one. You'll meet more people and make friends as you go and can participate in boss runs easier.

 

I don't agree with this whatsoever and here are reasons why:

1) This server doesn't have a big enough population for 2 worlds.
2) It'll create a divide in an already niche community.
3) It isn't difficult to reach "end-game" in a 4x rate server.
4) It'll need to be monitored by our small workforce of GMs, which means splitting their already required assistance between 2 worlds.
5) Who else will we buy our fames from?

 

And what happens a year later? Add another realm?

As long as the population of the server doesn't reach a point where it's too crowded to be enjoyable, I don't think this is necessary.

 

1) Population will grow with the addition of a new world. More people would be willing to join and that's a fact (new players, old players that have quit.) Plus I fail to see how the current 500~ people online is not a big enough population.
2) I don't see a problem when some people don't belong in your community right now anyway.
3) How is it not difficult to reach end-game in 4x? Lol? That takes like a year.
4) I think this is a mute point.
5) Really funny that you view new players as fame mules, thanks for proving my point.

 

Man I thought this was gonna be a thread suggesting that we change from Scania to Bera, I would've been for that.
But yeah, the population is far too small to split it in two.

 

1) That is not a fact, that is your opinion.
2) The Royals community is fairly diverse and I'm sure anyone whether new or old, can find a place here.
3) It is fairly easy to reach "end-game" if you actually put time and dedication into improving your character.
4) That is actually a great point. Currently there aren't enough GMs to assist people when they need to be assisted. It would be even worse if they had to deal with 2 worlds.
5)It was a joke. That didn't prove anything.

 

I would say once the server population reaches 850-1k it would actually be quite a good idea to create a new realm.

I have already been tempted to do some data on amount of scrolls among other things in the game among other things to have validity for a suggestion thread. Basically my worry is that the server population is unable to handle a vote system where each person gets 8k NX. The server is going to become extremely saturated as population increases with the drop rates and a vote system giving 8k nx instead of a lower amount. The servers population is fine right now, but as it reaches 900-1k+, I honestly think it is going to go to shit simply because there is a going to be a massive amount of everything compared to how many people play. I don't think anyone wants to play on a server where 95% of the population is level 180 AND has end game gear that frankly only a the top few % should probably be able to obtain.

I fully support a new realm once the server reaches a higher population

 

Considering we have ~500 people on at most times of the day and once summer is over that'll go down by at least 100 I don't think we'll have to worry about that any time soon. Last summer it was ~300 on at a time then once school started up again it went back down. It's just the natural summer surplus.

 

Regardless, population will only increase over time on a server that is top 3 AND with a new source (Eventually). Either way, the server wont be able to sustain itself as a real nostalgic or "normal" server with the rates and nx the way it is. There is going to be too much saturation of, well, everything. The only reason GMS was able to survive was because the rates weree low with a large population and NX costed real life money, it wasnt just given away to everyone every day. NX should probably be lowered or rates dropped (gacha rates and/or drop rates)

 

This server will eventually go from a nostalgic, normal nice maplestory server that people see it as, to a "private server" where everyone just gets to level 180 and has the best gear that is statistically possible to make.


I dont think anyone wants to play a server where EVERYONE has perfect weapons, 12 att capes and shoes, and 18 att gloves. This is why I didnt go play a server that had 100x bullshit rates, but maybe that is just me.

 

We're not even close to that though. Could we use some meso sinks? Sure, but you're over exaggerating a problem that might happen three or four years from now. You seem to assume everyone continues to play the server for years when most people quit after several months.

Anyways, everyone for the idea is ignoring one of the biggest issues, there simply aren't enough GM's to do it. It's not viable nor is it necessary in any respect.

 

Item sinks. Not meso sinks.

I do not think there is anything wrong with the economy in terms of mesos right now. I recently talked about this with another well known player that has the respect of pretty much everyone and he also expressed to me that the problem is not meso sinks or drop rates, but the voting NX system. 8k NX per person every day (including vote abusers) is insanely higher for a population like this. There will be and already is saturation of certain things within the game bar perfect clean items like dragon sleeves and revolvers and skis. He thought lowering the rates of gachapon was a good idea as to not take away from NX clothes or ap resets, etc. I 100% agree. This is why GMS's economy did not die so quickly with gachapon. There were enough players, but moreso NX was REAL LIFE MONEY. At this point, at any point in time I can go to the FM and easily find any amount of any scroll I want to use on ANYTHING aside from maybe GFA 70% due to people mass using them on stormcaster gloves with the lower prices, and if you think this is only because of the summer, I would very much beg to differ.

 

Personally, I think Bera should represent more of a GMS style world rather than what we have now. What I mean by this is that this world would have rates of 1/1/1 and little to no GMs policing (maybe 1 or 2). Eliminate certain rules such as ~mapowner. This would give a more GMS feel because you would build up a guild to get strong in order to hold maps (remember the KS wars in GMS?) Plus, with little GMs policing, people can't just depend on a GM when something happens, which is just how Nexon does it (unfortunately).

I'm pretty sure many people aren't going to like my idea but this is what I believe would make a nostalgic feeling.
