When you go to bunny or kerning pq, you can't see as much players as old maplestory. I know there are still many people who miss old maplestory who didn't know MapleRoyals, should we try to tell peoples about this? Is there anyway to advertise MapleRoyal Free-of-charge?
I don't think player count is a problem. It's just that with 4x you get through 1-30 relatively quickly. Also a lot of people choose to just leech/train at other maps instead. With that said I never had a problem finding a Kerning PQ if I just surfed the channels and asked around.
With the current exp rate both Moon Bunny and Kerning party quests are barely worth doing since you can level really fast past that point. As it currently is there are over 1300 players online so I don't think there is a lack of players.
When I started playing the usual number of online players was around 300-350 and I didn't have a problem finding a KPQ back then. I don't think it should be a problem now with over 1000 players online.
