Hello everyone, Other than the usual JQ at Pet Walkway, Hide & Seek and summoning events, what other events do you think we should host? Write up a proposal, we'll evaluate it, and if it seems fair and can be done, it'll be done! But keep in mind of just one very important point, if possible: The event should be fair to all classes, or as fair as possible. We are aware of events like Hide and Seek where jobs like Night Lords have significant advantages over the others. Note: GM events such as Russian Roulette are not available yet, but we're hoping to bring them back in Update 55.
I know that these aren't technically "GM" Events, but I think they fall under a similar category in that they encourage players to participate at a specific time(frame) to reap a potential reward. This may be a minority opinion, but I absolutely loved the 2x EXP and/or drop events back on gMS. I realize that it would have to be scaled down to a lower percentage on here (perhaps 1.25x or 1.5x), but it would encourage some (more than usual, obviously) people to party up and train or boss during that time. Also likely to get some people online specifically to participate. I'm not at all saying make this a regular thing, but it would be cool once in a blue moon (maybe *just an example* twice annually for 4 hours per). Or maybe shortened spawn times for bosses, or buffed spawn in X training map(s) for a day. Cash Shop sales on holidays (Black Friday, Christmas) similar to gMS (it doesn't have to be APR/Gach if that's an issue) with limited amounts of each item for sale. RP sales on those holidays would be amazing too, but that may be pushing it as 'encouraging' people to donate..which personally I don't think is a bad idea since it supports the server and our developer, but again, likely a minority viewpoint. Apologies if these types of event suggestions aren't welcome. No ill intent, just some thoughts. P.S. it would be absolutely afuckingmazing if you guys added 1 deep purple witchs belt every halloween similar to the pilgrim hat, just sayin'.
Stick to the summoning but add lore to make it interesting for example since we have the CWKPQ HYPE use the bosses and theme. Simulate a real army attacking masteria. The Corrupt Army The army, led by the Twisted Masters, which currently has control of the Keep. They used the texts of the 4 major guilds to train their soldiers in these disciplines, but without the strict moral codes, it has become extremely dangerous. Made up of the Windraiders, Nightshadows, Firebrands, and Stormbreakers, as well as the 4 Twisted Masters. They are from Versal, and currently are trying to reclaim the body of Christopher Crimsonheart from the Mesogears, though we still don't know why. Whether they reach their objetive or not still get to push back the enemy forces Crimsonwood is huge can be used to play hide and seek while trying to find certain bosses to deafeat and force them to retreat Also during boss battles bosses could be helped by invisible GMs using SED or even the ariant pq bombs As for the reward it could be limited nx items this time insted of chairs and MAYBE 4 lucky players can get to have a Mark of Naricain before CWKPQ comes out... *Link to the he user who posted this awesome drawing 8 years ago in basilmarket http://www.basilmarket.com/4-masters--Screen-bb3qJ
Protect the Beginner! BeginnerBob wants to take a vacation to visit the snowy mountains of El Nath and see the famous caves everyone is talking about and to escape the summer heat, before settling down and choosing a job. You need form a party of 4 including Bob (Any level 10 beginner) and guide him from El Nath to the Cave of Trials. You must protect him from the dangerous monsters that you will encounter in your journey. Winning condition - First team to reach the caves - or team that was nearest to caves when Bob dies. Restrictions - No Resurrection - No Mystic Door - No Taxi - No Teleporting Rocks - No Dead Mine scrolls - No HP gear for Bob, his really unprepared and lazy - No pets for Bob, Bob had to leave his cat under the care of the Dark Lord. Too easy? Add a time restriction (1 hour!) No healing pots or limited number of pots for Bob No classes above 4th Job GMs can spawn bosses along the way
Maybe we could get a neutral and unbiased players to follow the party, and maybe set a limit to the number of teams (5) or even change winning condition to the fastest team?
Mr. Moneybags is on a desperate hunt for Post Stamps Go out into the maple world and procure some Post Stamps for Mr. Moneybags so he can send the red envelops to miss Moneybags. He will surely reward you handsomely.(same Rewards as the lunar event )
Fashion contest? Players would obviously need to use their own nx, maybe give a week's worth of notice, and top 5 people who have the best cosplay representing something get their nx back they used, along with other prizes. Donor items would not be allowed in order to be fair. I remember hosting several of these on an old private server (as a player not GM) , was pretty fun.
Some of my favorite memories in Maple were the seasonal events at various times of the year. I recall during Thanksgiving, Turkey monsters were added with drops and a related quest, during Xmas you could go to that winter place and get the Rudolph nose I think, Chinese New Year Red Envelope dropping, etc. I know you already do this seasonally though, so my suggestion is to maybe expand this to other religions/peoples' holidays? Ex: - Father's Day is coming up - maybe make a brief Father's Day quest relating Chief Stan and his runaway kid? There's already the Runaway Kid quest but it could expand on it more maybe? Or address other Father-son pairs in the game. - June Solstice - maybe a quest related to fire monsters/the sun? - and whatever other regional/minority holidays there are, giving recognition where there isn't many
Race down Eos Tower. First one to get through the portal entering Omega Sector is the winner. (Maybe first 5 players or something) - Players must sign up beforehand in order to win. - Everyone starts from the top of the 100th floor. - The use of Eos Tower Scrolls, Return Scrolls, and TP rocks is prohibited. - A GM can secretly follow whoever is in the lead to ensure that a cheater doesn't win. - The GM can possibly video record the event in case it ends up being a really close call, or to ensure someone who has not signed up doesn't win. - NLs will not be at a significant advantage since FJ works better horizontally, not vertically. - Mages will probably have the most advantage, but there's so many floors and many platforms that can't be tele'd downward to. This is probably a terrible idea, but an idea is an idea, right?
Are the ola ola maps available? really easy to host, just need to stun/seduce so everyone starts at the same time. idk if those commands have been implemented yet o-o
