Hi there, After a long time away from gaming, I have recently been going through game after game and spending a short time on everything, finding that nothing can bring me the same joy that old Maple Story did. After watching nostalgic videos on Youtube, I have a deep longing, a burning desire, for the old MS. Naturally, I did a few Google searches and came up with ClassicMS and this, MapleRoyals, as my two primary results. I wanted to play ClassicMS, but I fear that it is severely underpopulated. From what I understand, MapleRoyals has a higher population -- and I am not too put off by the 4x/4x/2x rates. However, after stumbling upon a Youtube clip of Big Foot hunting in Royal MS (which is what I loved to do pre-BB in GMS), I noticed that Big Foot seemed exceptionally weak; he was hitting extremely low damage and I saw some videos of him being killed be people as low as level 60-80. Can anybody explain this to me? Are the monsters, or at least some "boss" monsters like BF, nerfed? If so, how much? Are there any other changes unrelated to exp/meso/drop rates that I should be aware of? I hate to be so picky but this could be a big put-off for me. Thanks! Jazz (GMS Trizz11) EDIT The Big Foot thing has been resolved! The low levels who killed it were a Dit spamming meso explosion and an HP warrior who could take the hits and spent hours. The low damage was a mistake on my part. Thanks! Now, if anybody can hook me up with the omok community around here.... 10k GMS wins, get at me!
No, they're not nerfed. Bigfoot is impossible to be killed by a bunch of 60-80s unless you're using Power Guard or something. None of the bosses are nerfed.
Check out A Guide to Maple Royals, it covers pretty much all of the differences between this server and GMS. I'd say that the biggest differences (other than more active GMs and a smaller playerbase) are some convenient user commands and the godly item system. Another good place to look for servers is gtop100. It might help you find a server that's more to your liking if Royals isn't. That being said, Royals is definitely the most populated and fully-featured pre-BB server around
Thanks y'all! @Experience Won't have the game for a couple weeks until I get my new laptop, but I'll be sure to add you when I do! It's been a while haha I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
