endgame is endgame. if people are gonna skip everything before endgame they are gonna end up in endgame. If they didn't all buy leech they'd have something to do. at the end is where you stop. otherwise it wouldn't be the end. i don't feel like i can make the contradiction of wanting the end to go on longer more clear.
I'm sorry but that's not a good analogy at all. If you leech all the way to level 200. You can not do Pink Bean, heck most classes can't even do Horntail if they spend all their assets on leech.. There's no ''skipping''. You have to farm months and months to kill Horntail at a decent speed, even at level 200. Level doesn't cut it. Gear does. Also, aside of that, Maplestory is more than that. It's not just ''about that final kill''. If that was the case, no one would play past 1 year. There's multiple ways of improvising this game.
Early PB kills had several people under 200. Idk why people think it would be impossible. Royals people are quite stronger than GMS at the time (you were lucky to have clean facestompers and a +7 non-sword was extremely elite). Regardless, this is a nostalgic server and people are going to get bored and quit. Nothing is going to change that. A lot of the older players here have moved on to later version servers and have no desire to come back.
Great representation of Royals views of running a server. If you look up the first runs of Pink Bean, you will find that the available amount that you could go Pink bean with was only 6. Every run, at least in EMS was not legit. They couldn't kill it until Miracle cubes released. Every other run was done with hackers. If you're going to deny that there's no way to solve this. You're wrong. I was in this position like many others myself. And all I could think to myself was ''why not just add x or y'' that would entertain me for at least another year. But instead we chose to blindly place a mask and pretend we can't do anything about it. But then again, if this server has no desire to improvise whatsoever, then so be it and I can respect that. But please don't dictate to me that there's nothing that can be done. That's nothing but a choice.
I don’t know what makes some people think that we are not constantly working on new content and looking at adding on more in the future. Sure it might take a while, but it is a constant process.
I dont think players ever thought this. This is more a debate ''offside'' about what should be done. Think of this conversation as ''what players would like?''.
EMS must be different because GMS Windia and Scania had legit clears before big bang. The run literally has an expedition chat so there's no way it was intended to be limited to 6 players. I'm still in contact with many of this server's top and long-time players. Nothing is going to make them come back. PB Czak and Cht could drop tomorrow and most people I know wouldn't reinstall. Face the reality. A new boss or PQ might be fun to check out for a couple weeks, but the game is fundamentally the same and people simply grow tired of it.
look at what OSRS is doing- it almost died because it went stale and no updates were created, but because stuff like GE, new bosses, new gear and new areas were put in to keep the game fresh yet still keep the core 2007 runescape experience the same. constant updates here will keep this game fresh and not stale but its extremely important to keep the core of the game the same- UI, leveling speed, no potential, same damage formulas etc
Shouldnt it be the case of asking them to speak about what made them stop playing royals? Also, how the staff could improve the late game itself? A few tips could help everyone, a lot!
