    Mysterious Path 3 spawn his horrific. It used to be a good place to grind "back in the days", but now it is almost a spot you can AFK sit in. Around 5-7 mobs on each platform, making it useless. It could be better for those who wishes to train in parties, thus making it usefull, instead of the mini-maps.

    tl:dr version
    Please, increase monster spawn rate, as it's spawn rate doesn't even fit with the gigantic map there.

    I agree with this. I remember playing GMS and mp3 was a great place to grind. When I joined Royals, I went there and saw myself that the spawn was horrible in comparison to gms. That was when I learned that people would go to the ghost ship to grind instead of mp3. Honestly, I didnt even think the ghost ship was in this version because when I played global, mp3 was the place to be, not gs2. I hadn't learned about the ghost ship maps until I came to MapleRoyals.

    edit: according to this, Ghost Ship maps werent added until v.90, long after I quit so I thats why I didnt know about them. If the mp3 spawn was increased, it would provide a good alternative to gs2. Also, gs2 is almost always occupied.

    Hope I'm not the only one that thinks its interesting that people don't care Ghost Ship is part of Royals, even though Ghost Ship 2 was introduced in v.90….And that's fine, but the suggestion Chimney, with Jesters, got completely torn apart because "IT WASNT EVEN AVAILABLE IN V.62 HOW DARE YOU ASK THE GMS TO OPEN THE MAP"

    the human race….never ceases to amaze me

    Will look into it. May I suggest you try and check out the increase spawn-rates in Ludibrium Dungeon or Forest of Dead Trees for a more nostalgic MapleRoyals experience in the mean time...

    Ghost Ship has always been in v0.62. Chimney came after v0.80 if I'm not mistaken.

    Exactly. The ghost ship has been around for so long.

    Also, wasn't mp3 popularized after BB when all the jobs suddenly had map wide skills and the spawn was greatly increased?

    Back in pre-BB all clerics and their mothers would always go to GS2 as fast as they could IIRC.

    MP3 is GREAT post-bb.
    But it was also amazing pre-bb, I grinded there over gs2 for at least 100 levels in eMS.
    So +1 to spawn increase.

    I also used to grind at MP3 in EMS and the spawn was a lot better there than it is here. I don't know what it was like in v62 GMS, because I quit GMS about a year before v62 came out.

    Yeah in GMS at v0.62, GS2 definitely had high spawn.

    Would be good to increase it here; would mean less drama at GS2 (although I never quite figured out what is wrong with the other GS maps, why must people insist on GS2).

    MP3 was the place to be on MSEA, yo. KS wars happened there frequently, people and guilds fighting for control over the map. Hilaaaaaaaaaarious. But yeah, just goes to show that the spawn rate for MP3 should be increased –– also, given the map's largess, it encourages party training (which, mind you, is a great way to make friends! Yaaaaaaaay!). While I appreciate the increased spawn at Coolies and Ludibrum, those maps are easily solo-able. MP3 is a little tougher to solo considering all the climbing one would have to do.

    There's a lot more climbing to be done in the Ludi Dungeon maps than in MP3!

    True but Ludi Dungeon has space for single-target DPS characters to hit without issue. MP3 is cramped and has elements that block stars/arrows on occasion.

    Wouldn't soloing in Ludi be a bit harder? You need at least 3-4 people in a map to control the spawn. But yes I am all for a spawn increase at MP3's.

    Levels 50-75 are often tedious as OPQ is currently bugged and GS2 or FoG are essentially the only training spots at these levels. An increased MP3 might be able to fix the problem.

    I recall that there was a big change to mp3's spawn at BB, which is what most people tend to remember and point to when this subject comes up. With that said though, I do remember mp3 having quite a bit of spawn before that too (more than it is now in Royals). I could be wrong on this, but my nostalgia senses are tingling. I don't have screenshots or anything to back this up either, so I'm left to ask other people and hope my thoughts spark some real proof. Anyone else feel this way? Maybe this does deserve/require a spawn buff.
