any tips for loggin in quicker / knowing when the SC is over besides trying to log in over and over for hours?
Lmaoo, Just wait an hour, it probably won't be longer than that, either way the staff will keep us informed either through the forum or through a post on the main site.
I'm wondering because I want to better my chances of getting a good spot, which is a basically a competition of who logs in first lol
I guess log in camping around the 40ish minute mark would be your best bet then! I can imagine the competition for those first FM Spots lmaooo.
heh yea, it's insane. some people have shown an ability to consistently be able to log in among the first and grab an insane spot, like FM1CH1 door.. i wonder how or if it's just literally spamming till u get in also, does your screen freeze too if you click on it while it's loading up the login page?
There's a server status widget on the front page of the site. Once the image changes back from Offline to Online, and there are at least a number shown in the Players Online row, you're pretty much good to go. As for FM spots, it just takes practice, really.
Faster computer and faster internet do help. Not sure how to get maple story to boot up faster anyone know?
I'm one of the FM 1 regulars, and I have a terrible Macbook Air, a laptop that easily starts to overthink with too much CPU load and average internet. There's no way to boot up the client faster that I've found, and I've tried quite a few things. From what I've observed, the client boots up for the same time for everyone. I'm consistently one of the first people to log in, at least one of the top fifteen, so it really just comes down to speed and learning the tips and tricks to get an edge on everyone else that comes with experience, practice, observation, and strategy. Good luck! Edit: You can see when the server is online or offline on the main homepage. No need to keep clicking the game when the server is offline! Just check every now and then if the server is online using the homepage and you'll save a ton of time and effort.
Don't go for FM1. FM3-6 are ghost towns if you log in instantly with the crowd. If you're hell bent on FM1, log out in the top left corner, too many people make the mistake of trying to go for the door and get beat, if you go for the left side you usually don't have any competition and can nail a pretty good spot. I used to be an FM1 regular when I used to sell things in shops, but another few things you can do is copy/paste your password, so that in the log-in screen, your user ID is already saved, ctrl+v, enter, enter again for channel selection, spam the 1, enter enter enter for the selected character, and then you're logged in. Also make sure you don't have shit in Fredrick, and make sure your shop is in an easy spot to click when you open your CS inventory. Once you've opened up ur shop A-enter-enter, cause who gives a shit about ur shop title, throw a potion in there for 1 meso and setup the shop so you don't accidentally DC while setting up your items. Other than that, I have Canadian internet (lul 2 fast) and an absolute monster of a PC, so I can get a spot realistically every time assuming I decide to go for one.
Stunk is a God. Is the homepage widget real time? I always thought there was a delay cause I've seen it say online before when it was still offline
