    Hey Hey, How's your day? Mine's fine thank you.

    Alright.. I wont waste any of your dear time ;)
    I'm a Royals player that came here by feeling bitter about what Nexon did to Maple. (so original)
    By watching many, many videos on YouTube to get the nostalgia back... allofasudden... BOOM! There appears MS Royals like a wild frikkin' pokémon!
    (a rare fellow too)

    So Yeah. I started playing Royals MOSTLY to be able to Party Quest again & have a good time.
    & Guess what? I did have a good time! Party Questing again. with other players. very satisfying.
    You took away level cap from certain PQ's & we couldn't have wished for more.

    BUT......

    For all the players that came back for the Nostalgia (wich is basicly everyone) I think... Party Questing is a bit 'too' dead.

    Everybody now (that is not leeching) is playing: KPQ at early stages --> CPQ1/2 --> Pirate PQ at later stages.
    And then just MOB Grind, Leech Suck or Boss Grind it out.

    Can you pleas.. please.. give Ludi PQ & Orbis PQ a better EXP reward?
    The reason there are people there is because of the EXP.
    Yes it's quiet, but we can live with that. (SMEGA FTW)

    So.. Can you simply make the EXP, you get from Ludi PQ, the SAME or even BETTER
    than the EXP you get from CPQ1? (Since it's harder to get a party)

    Same goes for 'Orbis PQ vs. Carnaval PQ 2' - I mean.... you get the memo :D

    At the end of the day..

    We ALL come here for the Nostalgia! We might change, adapt and DO other things
    as we play & re-discover Maple Through Royals. But this DRUG called NOSTALGIA
    is what drew us all in.. :)

    Thank you for listening!
    Much Love

    If you ask me, create a system that you can gain special things from doing pqs. exp worth nothing.
    Time is money, unfortunately people will pay for a leech these days instead of wasting time doing pq.
    You are one of a rare kind of people who seek for nostalgics.. most of the players passed this stage about 6 years ago, and rn are playing just for the end-game content.
    gl mate, im with you :)

    Yes, I completely agree! Whatever it takes to make it more attractive, do exactly that :)

    But I find it hard to believe people come here for that reason. I believe they come for the nostalgia (new players)
    and end up doing / liking other things. Else just play GMS, right?

    Taking away level cap / increasing EXP / Giving great awards is like a wet
    dream for everyone that has loved PQ, back in the day.. (large group)

    Even ign that new player need is taken becuz they even sell IGN. .. . . . . .

    Jesus .. Those comments are so freaking negative ...
    Sir, as you, I started MS Royals for nostalgia, and yes I like it alot ... but is a one time nostalgia .. after first character, you won't like doing PQ again with second. However, what I see, and i'm almost sure that I'm right, is: if the lvl 50- PQs get a exp buff, the vote abuser will be the most favored group. The OG players that are looking for nostalgia are just a small piece of the cake, and them, this boost wil only help to increase the NX inside game (+CS + WS + APRs), which means we would be fucking up even more with the game's economy.

    I see.. I see where u are coming from but tbh this is factual incorrect. There are still just enough people to PQ with especially using SMEGA
    and since i'm a new player myself (few months now) I actually met and talked to alot of other new players that all kind of say the same thing.

    We're adults now and our desires are different. The game is what the creators make it. Just like how Nexon fked MS up.
    Nexon could adjust it to make it become better. Except they think mostly about money / marketing.

    For Royals it's the same thing. You can either find a way to bring PQ back strong / good for
    the new players

    Or you could just be like fk it! Why would we?
    Or.. we can but we won't because it's to much of a hassle to get it done right.

    Leech can be stimulated or destimulated by w/e the staff of Royals decides.
    As does anything else in the game.

    Anyways! I'm just going to be a voice out here to see what happens.
    Nonetheless. To end on a positive note. I still very much enjoy Royals :)

    How will the 50- groups misuse voting & be the most favoured group? I mean it's all about balancing things right.
    When I say more EXP / Rewards / Whatever - It's just to give a hint on how to improve Party Questing.

    What exactly and how much of it you add to those PQ's is all up to the staff of Royals
    As they know & understand Maplestory better than most of us, right?

    As for me. I feel new players only feel the pressure to become high level & boss it out.
    And that is not necessarily something that starts with the individual player but with how
    this game is set-up.

    I guess... It's kinda like GMS nowadays. Get to 200 a.s.a.p. and then it starts. lol
    Royals = Get to a high level by leeching & then it starts

    I'm not complaining. I just think this would add a lot of flavor to it! :)

    I know a lot of games keep old PQs active with daily systems. Might be a bit too big of a solution, but the maple admin npc or someone could give out a couple of daily quests each day some of which would be to complete specific PQs. Reward a small amount of NX (akin to killing random zone bosses) and people will do it. Plus new ones each day helps keep it all fresh

    It wasn't negative, is the reality .. but you interpret as you want

    Simple ... they will rush lvl 50 mules to vote .. thats the thing ... maybe increase 50+ PQs would be a good thing to talk about.. 50- is just a faster way to create a voting mule abuser

    PQing with the guild and new faces is my favorite part of the game! I would love to see HPQ, KPQ, LPQ, LMPQ, OPQ, and R&JPQ more active. R&JPQ was only busy 1 day after release which is so sad because the mastermind stage is fun to solve together. I think a rotating system of bonus rewards is a great idea (but implemented in a way to not reward the creation of PQ-reward mules!), and that more exp from teamwork-centric PQs should be given to incentivize the process of organizing a party and connecting with other active players!

    Personally, PQs have not been as enjoyable since the skill restrictions were implemented in update 71. This change is very unpopular and still remains in place. Now in PQs I just feel locked out of my skillset. One easy step to make PQs more enjoyable is to remove this unpopular restriction. Here's what happens if the restriction is removed: KPQ tickets and OPQ papa pixie are 30 seconds faster. Really, not gamebreaking. You still have to solve the barrel puzzles and do "alt?" on the LPQ boxes and 4th job skills don't help with that. The only PQ where it would make a difference is Pirate PQ and that's level restricted anyway. Hopefully our new community managers hear this mix of feedback from old and new players and recommend changes to the staff.

    Just a suggestion. Was thinking if the level cap for certain pqs can be removed so more people could join in. Of course to entice people, perhaps we can have points for doing PQ and these points can be used to exchange for untradable stuff like Chaos scroll / White scroll / Apr/ Max hp. And also to encourage more PQ than selective ones. Maybe each day, different pq will have x 3 points or something. Wondering if theres RNJ in this server. just got back recently.. Just a suggest.. peace out yall

    Remember, we already have tokens of teamwork in game. To make PQs more worth it, it might be a good idea to add new items to buy with them, instead of some separate new points system.

    As for dailies, they could just reward extra tokens, like 2x or something? Or tokens + NX?

    I see your point here, and actually though about it, but imo, I have to disagree this suggestion as the economy in this serve had already lost stabilize, almost everything in the FM are decreasing its market value day by days, tho this was mainly caused by few reasons such as the player's population decreasing, however, CS/WS/APR are the last few things that actually keep the market steady (also FS/SCG/BWG/raccoon mask/Taru Totem, and so on), if the serve rise up the chances, or set up alternative ways to obtain these items, imagine what will be like for the rest stuff in trade-values?

    Tho CS/WS might not get too much affect, cuz people are greedy to obtain and craft better eqp whenever they have chances, but the rest stuff is gonna crash without doubt, not to mention APR is dropping its value from 13m last year to 9.5m this year, and it will continually dropping as nearly everyone done their HP washing, or stop creating new mules, or even worse, no more new players join Royals,

    I've been to other private serve before, some of them got very cheap price on everything in FM, u can even get the CS/WS for just 15m per, but that's because they only got 2xx players or even less than 200, the supplies are overflowing than market's demand, I don't think people would like to see such view in Roylas, cuz if you see it, then that means Royals are done.

    Tho I disagree with ur suggestion about rewarding CS/WS(even is untradeable), but I agree with ur points where you mention the staff could remove the leveling cap on pq, I do think this might help and encourage players to play pq. :)

    I actually really like the idea of it giving some max MP, which means it doesn’t ruin the market (maybe a bit for INT items) but it also means there’s a different way to level up a character that you’re trying to wash other than leeching the same maps over and over again, plus it makes it so much easier for newer players who don’t completely understand washing yet and just wanna play the class they like rather than always maken a bishop first before being able to then LEECH (and afford) ur way to play the class you want.

    And it would for sure populate the PQs more than enough I think without ruining the market. This could be an epic win win.
