I think that would be a great idea to give fast travel ticket a level requirement, 30 or 50 at least. It makes no sense that a level 7 player can travel fast just like that. Everyone literally gives free items / mesos here if you ask them and you get NX pretty easily here too. I vote for level 50 requirement for fast travel tickets. Fast travel tickets are making this game more boring. It's not nostalgic to teleport everywhere with VIP tickets and fast travel tickets just like that. Those who say they don't have time are big liars to themselves and everyone else. I have a job, study computer science at college ( which is super hard and time consuming ) and i have a life too outside computers, but i still manage to travel from Ellinia to Orbis ( and other places too ). Best idea would be 5 minute flight. from Ellinia to Orbis and vice versa. Rest for 1 minute just like mu lung flight. This suggestion feeds new players to experience more adventures, experience one of the most nostalgic maple experiences, build new connections etc. Not to mention RWT. Because people who sell mesos / items via RWT are probably never in Victoria Island dropping 10 billion mesos+ + etc. Victoria island is too populated for that. Also having a level requirement for lowbies to buy a fast travel ticket also encourages new players to work for something, not have everything handed to them. I got over 30m mesos and bunch of starting items when i was level 10-12 just a few days ago when i started. It's just so easy, especially when everyone is kind and generous here + literally everyone has mesos here. Nobody really has a rush during low levels so this doesn't affect players who have a hurry to go bossing. A boat flight takes a few minutes only it's not a big deal. I have a job, i study computer science at college, i have a girlfriend etc. How do i have time but you don't? Playing 8-16 hours per day and not finding a few minutes for a ship flight is just ridiculous. There are other servers who have ship rides and they don't complain. Here's a few clips about ship rides and how fun they were: there's many more really.
Even if these changes were made, the videos you include in your post will not be reflected onto MapleRoyals in any significant capacity. Most of the people keeping this server active are not chasing nostalgia anymore, they are more worried about progression which does involve moving mules back and forth. While I used the boat for my mules, who are we to regulate how others value their time? If it's nostalgia you're really after, you can go see how awesome that nostalgia is in those servers "with ship rides". Though, if you really want a fun boat ride, you can use your popularity of studying computer science at one of the top universities in your country and make likeminded friends who would love to start playing MapleRoyals and battle the balrogs on the ship at level 23. That would be cool, can even include your girlfriend!
