    I don't understand. I've tried it. Everybody who had played ms tried it. And most of us hates it. Why else would we be complaining about it?

    Gms is not a valid reason. Nostalgia is a weak argument. I'm not going to lie and say I won't be fangirling over cpq when it comes out. I love cpq. And I love the other pqs too. But feelings will one day fade, and what happens then? "oh I'm so sick of pqs now kay thx matt bye" What keeps the players coming back, if it's not the game?

    Community, duh. Having over 1000 players online daily is a damn good feat for a private server. We can totally use it (us) as a selling point and make the server grow even bigger.

    I have to agree on the boat rides. In GMS, they were kind of fun in that you could socialize while traveling. But we don't have the luxury of a playerbase that you can just CC1 for the boat to meet people. Assuming socialization is the expected outcome of having to wait for boat rides in GMS, that just wouldn't happen in a private server with a fraction of the playerbase. At that point, just remove them because they really serve no purpose other than to slow people down.

    That said, we don't know how much traffic there is between islands. Maybe that social aspect will show itself as people get backed up due to boat rides and justify their existence again. Then, the question "is it worth it?" becomes appearant.

    Edit: shoot, wrong thread.

    Don't get me wrong. Doing all this is super impressive. I'm honestly surprised by all the staff's devotion to the server.

    Just wanted to say thank you and throw some much deserved positive feedback to the staff for all the great work here. The idea that after all these years there can still exist a Maplestory comparable to its former glory is wonderful.

    The goal of this server was always to create a gms like experience, and I'm so incredibly impressed that this is still, after 3+ years, a fundamental goal that is still so visibly intact. It's a bit unfortunate that along the way some of the players kind of got set in to the intermediate versions, but now we are so much closer to what we all wanted.

    With that said, it's unbelievable how down to earth and focused this staff has been. Seriously, hats off to you guys. I'm extremely excited to see what's in store for this server moving forward.

    I've been here on and off for some time now, and I brag about being apart of this great server, and everything that has been accomplished here, all the time to my old maplestory friends (and even people I meet that I find out have played). The responses I get from talking about all you guys have done here is always extremely positive, sometimes even pure shock. Some don't even believe me at first.

    Please know that the work you guys put in is very much appreciated. Of course you must love it to be able to put in the hours you do, but at the same time, you didn't just re-write a game to play on a small whitelisted server, either. So thank you all!

    You can't play because the server is still down and being upgraded. Check out the red text above the shoutbox. Thats where the admins are updating us all on the status of the server.

    Timed shops is a bad idea.

    If they hope to make the server feel more "GMS" like, they are going about it backwards.

    GMS was lively. Extremely active, hundreds of FMs full with shops. Practically anything you need to find can be found somewhere in the FM. The joy of Window shopping is a part of GMS Nostaliga, with non-expired shops Royals had effectively simulated the FM shopping experience.

    You know what expiring shops does? Makes people buy less shops for items with low cost. It would simply not be worth the cost of multiple shops that expire. Low level players stop buying shops for their low level items. Then there are less shops in general in the FM.

    The result of that? Something every single Private Server has in common: A fairly empty FM with few shops.

    Making shops expire will not make MapleRoyals feel more GMS like, it will make it feel more like a Private Server.

    I really hope people make a petition about this, because it is more of a big deal then a lot of people realize. A full FM is something players that play Private Servers are so excited to see when they come to Royals vs any other server.

    Guys give it a trial run before you judge their decision and see how it goes.
    Giving assumptions on how the market will change based on your own thought and needs is pointless right now.
    just show a little trust in the staff member's decision, im sure they will change back things if they find them bad for the community.

    I'm 99% sure venom was activated with BoT in the old source as well.

    While I agree that these changes have the potential to benefit the server, and that it is optimal to wait and see how these changes play out before re-evaluating any of them, feedback always helps. Even if worded in a way that may seem hostile or patronizing, it's a reflection of feelings of players and I feel that most of these changes are made to appeal to the feeling created when playing on a server. Prior to the changes taking effect or not, it helps to see how players react to seeing the change, and even their thoughts on how they think the change will play out regardless of it being on release or not.

    So yes, I agree 100% that none of these changes should be removed prior to them being given a test run. At best, these changes will have a positive effect on the atmosphere, at worse, the mods retain an open enough mind to make a judgment call where needed. However, feedback should never be declared pointless. One can comment on how it is delivered (with an understanding that they can simply extract what is helpful and leave behind any perceived hostility). but to altogether try to denounce sharing of thought understates the potential of feedback. The mods only serve to gain from people giving their unfiltered thoughts on it. That's not saying everyone is 'right', but only that, even if only a little of it speaks to the mods, that's something they would not have happened if people simply kept their mouths shut.

    Nothing against you personally. I just feel that, while it is understandable for some users to feel the mods are taking a lot of flak for these changes, the attitude that feedback itself should be withheld seems harmful rather than beneficial. At best, it gives the mods food for thought. At worse, it does nothing to impede them. It's merely commentary.
