As mentioned by Michael in a previous post the most affected items were the Chaos/White scrolls. Most of the other popular items have remained stable Adding to this why not just allow owls to be purchased with mesos? It would simultaneously act as a meso sink and encourage players to make more use of owls. Then as illustrated by omnom1337, players would compete more aggressively to sell their products to a more price savvy base of buyers.
They definitely were able to be purchased with meso pre-new source. It's possible they were intentionally removed temporarily since they don't work, but I couldn't say for sure.
I thought it was a little weird that @Wolf made his comment about server money. The donation income is being fully managed by the owner, and it should stay that way. When Nexon drops the hammer (don't fool yourself, they will some day) he's going to be in a hell of a lot more trouble if he was creating non-taxable jobs on a global scale. When I worked with the team on FinalStory, Mateo kept and managed all the money himself. It's not a question of morals, it just legally makes sense. Donations are exactly what they are-- donations. For the server.
increasing tax- yes Royal Bonds- honestly a horrible idea. Before I got permabanned for acc sharing I had ~500 bil pure. If you gave me guaranteed interest I'd be filthy rich regardless of the percentage. certain NX items from shop- agreed, gotta be pretty expensive for it to work and you'd probably have to add expiration date to all CS items currently out and about
I love all the snide digs at how much money Matt "makes" from this server, as if the $40 a day in donations is even remotely worth it to slave away in maintaining some swanky ass private server full of manchildren seeking relief from their crippling loneliness Spoiler Oh, just me? I'm the only manchild seeking relief from my crippling loneliness in this server? Nvm then
A few ones that are fun. Most notable one that I believe they know about already (hopefully) is a quest exploit. Just a few level 200 beginners showing up here and there from what I've heard. Tons of fun on Maple Island. Mostly hearsay since I'm banned and have not attempted to ban evade and will not bother either. :FeelsRoyalsMan:
