1. Aran is not nostalgic at all 2. We can't simply add jobs to the server And to clarify we have had only one wipe
You have every right to think Aran is nostalgic. But when people are looking for a nostalgic server they are looking for the original classes. Also it is not possible to add a job from a new version of maplestory to a older version.
I'm not really for Arans. Although I did like the class, adding a new class isn't nostalgic to me, since this is v.62, not v.83. You might argue that the new maps aren't really nostalgic as well, coupled with the Wz edits for nx items, but this is my personal POV: I've always liked the addition of new maps because of exploring. Occasionally, when I'm really bored I'll just go on a world tour (on my legits), just wandering around- killing a few mobs here and there; and I think the addition of new maps would accentuate this...as well as halt the stagnation of the server (same old mobs, same old maps for training= yawn). And for flashy new Wz edits- some of items look simply fab- I mean who doesn't love that prettyful Christmas Tree chair? <3 But I'm against adding a new class entirely- it sets an entirely new precedence. Why stop at adding one class? Why not add more? Evans, KoC, Dual Blades, etc. And where would the nostalgia be then? I like the server the way it is. And to me, I agree with KC. Arans aren't an original class; they aren't part of the original 5. (Although some may say pirates aren't original either but for some reason they sit better with me then Arans). Also, I think adding a new class entirely would necessitate some major coding overhaul..and upgrading this server to a new version would necessitate a wipe.. I think. (*Looks at John and Matt*) I've lived through one wipe and it hit me hard, I'm not entirely sure I'll want to stay and play as a regular player if another happens.
wat I am against wizet edits and I do not think that the changes being made are in any way nostalgic, but I think the changes will be good!
I completely agree with you on this Luke. Yes new chairs and new items and hopefully in the future new maps is not nostalgic. But the issue is the fact that we will get to that point again where everyone will get bored because everyone will have end game equips and it will result in a wipe yet again(not saying that their will be one in the near future!). That is why I add the content that I do.
The good v72 Content in the v62 source would be awesome (meaning: not adding arans and attbelts/rings) adding ToT and a "Maker" Npc that lets you trade your etcs for the item maybe? And is it hard to add a whole pq to the game? like cwkpq
I think most of the server would be in agreement that our focus should be to get all of the current PQs working 100% before we look into adding a new PQ from a different version.
I agree with what you're saying, yet, It's been a few weeks already and I don't see any changes about that. Can you update us?
Let me know when you can start coding in Java to help us. If you haven't noticed there's been a LOT going on that I and other staff members have had to deal with.
Ok let's be fair, the server was growing prewipe as well. Yes, the player base started drifting off towards the end but that's only because of the talk of an imminent wipe. All signs point to the fact that the server prewipe would have been just as popular if not more popular. Not trying to incite a was the wipe good or bad argument, just saying that's a fairly deceptive statistic to be using.
To be honest, I've been thinking when my freelance contract is up pulling out of freelance devving and just helping PSes out on my free time.
Alright, so it seems, for the most part, people are torn on this, so, why don't we do this, what parts of v72 would you think would be best if implemented onto Royals if it were to happen?
