Hello dear admins, I am writing this post today because I would like to request to fix some maps in the game. In my many years of playing GMS I was an avid drop gamer. For those who don't know what that is, it is basically a competative game where players try to outplay each other and demonstrate their skill in a highly exhilirating and relfex based game. The goal of the game is to drop your item and pick it up before your oppenent can, and then it is their turn to drop their item and you have to try to loot it. The game goes back and forth until one person gives up. Back in the day, the main maps for doing this were Henesys, Ellinia and Lith Harbor general stores (department store). I logged into mapleroyals and noticed that these maps in the game were extremely out of proportion and missing many of the platforms that the original map had. The original map looked something like this: https://maplestory.fandom.com/wiki/Ellinia_General_Store The one on mapleroyals is extremely disproportioned and the spacing is too big and essentially makes this map impossible to use for drop game. Back then every server had drop gamers and their was a population of thousands of drop gamers that were very dedicated to play this game. I think many people would be very interested in being able to do this again as it was extremely fun and people like to compete for the title of being the best. I was simply wondering if it was possible to import the original map files for the three above mentioned maps. Drop game has a global community of very passionate players and it would be nice to see this aspect of the game return to Mapleroyals. If you search Maplestory drop game on youtube hundreds of videos come up and I think it could pull more people to the game if these maps were repaired. Thank you
The maps were adjusted to fit the screen size of the 1024x768 client as the original was too small and large black bars were on the sides (and top and bottom, I don't remember). So the map being shaped as it is, is intentional. And you should post this in feedback to get community to pitch in, instead of technical help.
"A random guy took my perf weapon on a drop game gm please help me get it back it was a game not a real drop game he stoled my weapon"
To be honest I always though drop games were just people with mage or flash jump and has really really good ping finding people with bad ping and no idea the consequences of drop games, and scam them “legally”
Not true, in a drop game your not allowed to use flash jump or teleport unless the other person allows it. Even then, that is usually rare. Yes in drop game ping matters, but at the highest level everyone has similar ping and even if you do have lower ping you can drop game others with similar ping for it to be even. For example, Israelis in GMS, despite having lower ping to the GMS servers, started their own drop game community where they drop gamed amongst each other. That community alone was home to 30-40 players. . Point is, It can be enjoyed at all levels. Drop game is mostly technique, tricks, timing, skill. I have seen countless drop games won by those who had higher ping against an opponent with lower ping just by outmaneuvering their opponent with technique and experience.
I loved drop game years ago. Then I discovered that the one with better ping won all the time and stopped playing since my country has like top 4 worst internet in the world.
This would be so amazing!!! Drop game was one of my favorite aspects of old maplestory and to be able to do this again in the original map would be so cool (even if the dimensions of the screens cause black bars on the sides as I think that's how it is on regular GMs and nobody seems to mind).
