MapleRoyals has 4x4x2x rates which make the game a bit too easy-it's not the same nostalgic feeling leveling up fast as a beginner or getting too much mesos, same thing with the drop rate. I think the only thing missing in this server is 1x1x1x rates and i have heard pepole saying that 4x xp is too much and some of them were not one the server and they didn't want to join it because of that.
Well you can't just all up and change the rates. There would have to be a wipe, or a separate server with different rates.
the grind still gets rather difficult still. Although nostalgic, i rather not take weeks to get to 3rd job just my opinion though.
i know, one time i was on a different server and i quit at level 29 after 2 hours of grinding and i only got half way to level 30- but i'm more intrested to see what happens with the poll i made.
To each their own. I think the rates are fine. The real game begins around 7x+ where leveling slows down to 1 level an hour and much less so after 14x where leveling is around 40% an hour.
but i prefer this server because all of the events and other cool stuff. (including the amount of players online)
I think you should refrain from multi-posting. OT: the server wasn't always 4x. It was changed to 4x for a reason.
This discussion has already been THOROUGHLY resolved in the past. there's a lot of reasons, but my thinking is that, as long as we have nx, we'd be on 2x anyways, and then the server would most likely host 2x events to feed more nostalgia, so we'd see most players only on during 2x events anyway. the way we have it now maximizes the amount of people playing all the time and still keeps the rates somewhere that was still obtainable in gms. I always had the most fun and memories during 2x events and gms anyways, everyone was on!
It's not There's a facebook group with 2,100 people from Malaysia, China, Vietnam, and South Korea, selling accounts, mesos, godly items, and more, for real money Also, it gets more votes because of their voting policy that allows players to vote every 6 hours If they change the votes to once every 24 hours and clean out the people doing RMT, I assure you we'll be number one as soon as ElliniaMS gets taken down whoops did I just say that out loud
IIRC: The rates are set up this way so that it's comparable to that of the exp change Nexon had first initially made. So essentially, it is 1x (in terms of the EXP). It's still challenging to level regardless. The server used to be a much higher rate but there were those who felt that the rates, specially the exp rate, was too high. Sooo, it's been changed to what it is now followed by a wipe. I think the rates are fine as they are now.
I was always grinding on 2x card and there was 2x event almost every week-ends because of server checks taking forever. So 4x without exp cards is imo the best rates for a nostalgic 2008 private server
But what about the 4x mesos don't you miss being poor? 2x drops is "fine" because grinding 1000 hours just in order to get 1 plate of steel is a bit too much.
One of the biggest reasons I've stuck around so long- the rates here feel perfect. Its just enough of a challenge to level at the higher levels, just enough of a challenge to make money when things are the prices they are.
Lowering the rates will just demoralize everyone from grinding and probably make people quit. More cons than pros for this. Cons: - Requires a wipe, or it will be unfair. - Less motivation to grind. - Lazy people will be.. lazier. - People will quit, as it takes too long to get a single thing. -...and more i would remember if i actually thought this through for some time. Pros: - More nostalgia. - The feeling of spending 4 hours at lvl 70-71 instead of an hour. (last one was sarcastic, if you didn't catch it) Plus the rates were honestly messed up back then, Big Bang made the rates relatively fair, but too easy for later levels.
