    Hi Royalers! For this status update, instead of showing off some particular parts of the new source we have selected, we decided to open things up to allow the community to ask questions. The admins, along with Kevin, will be responding to some of the questions and will try to provide the best possible answers we can with the knowledge we currently have. This thread will be about the new source only, and topics such as T&C revamp, bans, abuse claims, etc will not be addressed.

    Three questions we are expecting almost immediately and will answer in our first post are:
    Release Date: There is no defined release date. We currently anticipate making the beta open to all players in the next two months. The release date is pending on the progress of the open beta. We would much rather withhold any release dates than provide one, only to have to later push it back and disappoint you.

    MAC Client: There has been no additional progress than what has already been previously reported. It is our intent to have the MAC Client available with the release of the new source.

    Full SP Reset: Yes, we will allow a Full SP Reset with the release of the new source. We are unable to provide any additional details at this time because we have not figured out how we are going to implement it quite yet :)

    Please note: Much like a Reddit AMAA (Ask me ALMOST anything), not ALL questions will necessarily be answered. Also, this thread does NOT serve as a release for other beta testers or other staff members to speak about the beta/new source. The non-disclosure rule still remains in effect (so don't bother your fellow community members!)

    Gonna be using this post to get people caught up (Updated as of this post):
    No.
    Yes.
    Yes. Reduced slightly, will not affect the godly system and will not have slots.
    Yes. The Admins/Mods will post a chart showing which class as their skills changed.
    Yes.
    Yes.
    The Item Megaphone will be released, but still considering other Megaphones.
    No, but planned for a later date.
    Yes.
    Yes. CPQ, APQ, KPQ, LMPQ, LPQ, and Mu Lung Dojo confirmed to work. Others will be worked on during beta and/or after release.
    Yes.
    No.
    We will be using a completely new spawning system which should be more GMS-like. I'm quite opposed to having to give certain maps custom higher spawn rates like we have in the current source. It may be a better idea to adjust HP or EXP accordingly instead. Beta testing will give time for any adjustments if any are required.
    Mu Lung Dojo belts will be available, and will be untradable. More belts may come later.
    MP and HP washing will stay the same.
    Not on release, but we do have an idea for an adjusted form of Family system however.
    Yes, otherwise it would mess up the EXP bar in the UI. The EXP amount given from monsters will adjust accordingly to keep the EXP rate as similar as possible.
    Not yet.
    No.
    Not on release, it will take a lot of fine tuning to create a maker skill that will work well with MapleRoyals, but it might be something we can release later.
    No.
    No.
    Not on release
    No.
    No, but maybe for the future
    No.
    Yes until level 11.
    Yes.
    No, but could be potential meso sink.
    No.
    Yes.
    No.
    No.
    No.
    Yes.
    Yes. Transportation will be all functional.
    No.
    Yes.
    Maybe.
    Yes.
    No.
    Yes.
    MW30 would come from Pink Bean, and we have stated that Pink Bean will not be included upon release of the new source.
    Not on release. We will only have the fully working PQ's as stated in John's post earlier. Any other PQ's will be worked on to be released later on. This way we can get the new source released as soon as possible without having to delay it further.
    Still under discussion
    No.
    No.
    Yes.
    Cash shop inventory will fully work. You will be able to transfer Donator items and Cash items to other characters on your account. Gifting will not work for Donator items.
    No.
    Yes. You can do that already by using this latest Etc.wz file too http://royals.ms/downloads/wz/Etc.wz
    No.
    No.
    All boss entries should have the correct number of attempt per day.
    If they're obtained in CWKPQ, then yes.
    Yes.
    Not until we get more players.
    No.
    No.
    If this is a bug, it will be fixed.
    Yes, but at a later date.
    Probably not.
    It's been improved in the new source, but unsure.
    If this was v.62 content, yes. Otherwise, no.
    No.
    If you still have your engagement ring/box then you shouldn't have an issue getting the correct wedding ring.

    • How difficult is it to get the new source compatible with the Mac client?
    • Will the Mac client on the new source be more/less prone to graphical glitches? Or is it way too early to tell?
      Thanks for the hard work!

    With the release of the new source... will there ever be an event like the Guy Fawkes (or MV - Mal Volence) one? Or any other type of bigger event? ^-^

    No, INT is an Ability Point, not a Skill Point.

    CWKPQ will indeed be released, and the MoN stats will be slightly reduced. It will not be affected by the godly system.
    We are working to ensure that all skills work as they should, and a fixed Speed Infusion will not affect Magicians.
    We plan to post a table at a later time showing not only what classes have gotten buffs, but also the difference in the skills between the current source and the new source.
    Yes. In addition to Owl of Minerva remaining as a meso sink, Super Megaphones will gradually be phased out from Monster drops and will be purchasable with Mesos. Details about any additional meso sinks are not available at this time.
    Absolutely! :D

    We are not going to elaborate much, but in Kevin's spare time (not like he has much!) he has been having great difficulty. He hasn't deep dived enough to provide an adequate answer, but it's not as simple as making a v62 based MAC client.

    Absolutely! We have some cool ideas and hope you will enjoy them

    Here's hoping but no promises! Who knows what will be going on in May 2016 ;)

    I hope so! Matt's been eating it faster than I can stockpile it :D

    • Will the Item Megaphones or any other special Megaphone be introduced into the game?
    • Are there plans to make Mages a potential bossing class rather than purely a grinding class with minimal contribution to overall DPS?
    • Will mini dungeons work?
    • Will stun be reintroduced into the server?
    • Is there going to be a limit on daily Papulatus fights?

    1. Will buccs stop being poopoo? (AKA changes from v72,83 and 86 applied to them, you know, fixing all skill, enabling all skills while super transform and reducing cooldowns on other skills?), also same question with paladins and shadowers.

    2. Any new high level areas to play around? I know lionheart castle is post bb, so is cygnus garden, but those areas were pretty cool way back then.

    3. i don't know what else to ask.
