    Sup guys, just came back to chat and see what's been up with the server a few times recently. Got into a conversation about server wipes and new worlds with a friend. I figure a server wipe would be voted against by the large majority, but is the idea of adding a second world being considered at all?

    I figure the 2nd most populated nostalgic server has about a consistent 100-150 population at any given time. This server has at least 500-750 at any given time, so even if it was split evenly between two worlds, your still looking at a very active aerver/worlds in terms of population. I think it could help solve some economy issues as well, but I won't delve into that.

    I also feel like it would bring in new players as well to be quite honest (myself included hehe).

    But honestly I was just curious if this was even being considered at all.

    Thanks

    We don't even have the new source yet.
    I can't see this happening any time soon.

    Of course we have considered a second world. Definitely not something that would be happening any time soon though as we are focussing on the new source like Andreas has mentioned.

    Extalia down? Almost over 1k players online? Maybe this should become a priority sooner rather than later...

    I feel like having 2 worlds will be bad in my opinion. The feeling of old ms was not just the training spots, the maps, the xp, the basic 5 classes, it was also the packed servers where you could find players in almost every map, not getting the feeling that your alone on your journey. I think world can hold 1000 players just fine. We shouldn't fix whats not broken. (Note that there is only 500 players on at most hours.)

    The server was PLENTY populated a year ago when the population was ~400 at most. The majority of the time it is around 700-750 currently and growing. With the equipment/economy issues and this being a private server (most private servers have wipes occasionally, royals has gone quite a while without one), I'd see it being a mandatory update eventually.

    1. The servers population is 2x that of when I first joined almost a year ago and has been growing since.
    2. Again this doesn't matter when the population is double that of when the server was not small whatsoever a year ago
    3. I dont understand how this is relevant at all? The main thing is item/equipment/scroll/progress saturation. Regardless of how fast or slow level 200s appear in a newer world, it will still take long lengths of time for the amount of equipment that is available on the original world to begin to appear.
    4. There are plenty of well known, trustworthy members who would happily provide small assistance with the new world.

    I think a more appropriate time to launch the new world is when there are a handful of players who are 200 and of course, a dying economy and people leaving because they are bored of the things that the current world has to offer, and would prefer a new challenge which is to start afresh in a new world where no one is better than the other (that wouldn't be the case if you started late in the new world, of course).

    Whats the point of a new server? Just open another 10 channels and we get the same effect as a new server.

    By all means. You say we need a new server because it is getting to crowded. 10 new channels no longer crowded. I for one would much rather more channel over a new server and split the community. If we are going for a Nostalgia feeling then we would have 20 channels for 7-8k players before we even consider opening a new server.

    he isn't saying we need a new server because it is too crowded. he's saying that a new server would not kill the population of this one

    I has nothing to do with the server being too crowded and more so to do with the state of the current server. This thread was asking a question more so than starting a debate about why a new server should be added - There is another thread that has gotten into a debate about it.

    I would like to bring up why people think there needs to be 2,3,4,5,6,7,8000 people playing to start a new world? Mind you a year ago this server had ~300-350 players on it at a time and was perfectly fine. I would go ahead and bet MapleRoyals will never reach a 3k player base (nor would it ever need one to open two worlds), but that is just my guess.

    I like the sound of this... How much would you like to bet? >:D

    Additionally, its not about just about making room for more people, other worlds can have different features or different rates to appeal to a variety of new players, and old.

    How about this? Release of a new world on release of new source. Sounds like something GMS would do, and MSEA definitely did. To make it more appealing in the new world on the new source, 1/1/2. :D
