Good Afternoon, Wanted to share my experience with MapleRoyals after playing almost 2 months. First thing is that constant crashes really bugs everyone. 2. Never have I never seen an event with increased rates or double drops. All that GM's are playing with are X O events or JQ. Which not everyone can benefit from. It be appropriate if there would be an event that everyone could enjoy. 3. All I could see on the front page was "releasing new content" and the next minute they nerf the maps. My suggestion would be if you DO nerf something make it up to the players and let them enjoy doing something in the mean time. 4. Update as much as possible, a simple notice in blue from GM's while server is lagging would have been a great help. 5. Not many updates on Donator shop, would also be nice to see an update how to get NX in other ways. Now the good part: 1.Community is excellent, even though GM's don't buff people even on rare occasion... Illuminate always offers Echo buff for everyone. Definitely a thank you for him. 2. Constant surveillance for hackers, and auto ban system is amazing. All in all, we are all human and might not have time to update content, work on the server as much as we want, but it would make a great number 1 server to play if you would rely on your players feedback. Thank you
I totally agree with you on the lack of event diversity and the donator shop updates (or lack thereof). I think 2x EXP/Drop aren't need, though. The server is already 4x and meant to be gMS-like. And when I'm online, there is updates via Notices sometimes concerning e.g. lag, but this could be improved. I also agree with you on all the positive aspects. The community is the reason I'm still here after 9 months!
I agree, the events could use a bit more diversity (for example: scavenger hunt, other JQs than zakum, etc.) and they could occur a bit more often. I don't see this as a big problem, but it'd be nice to have more events (IF the GMs have time for that. I'm not asking for them to bust their asses to squeeze in an event). Other than that: As far as I'm concerned the staff does an excellent job. And I have seen GMs buff the free market occasionally, just thought I'd mention that.
First off, thanks for the feedback! As staff, love receiving constructive feedback on what we're doing well and what we can do better, so thank you! To go through your points: 1) When you say it bugs everyone you're right, including the staff. The admins and developers have been working very hard to try to fix the lag but it's not an easy fix. We only recently found what we think is the issue and since then they have done several things to minimize the lag. So please be patient as the details get worked out. 2) Like Marty said 2x events aren't needed as this is a low rate server. We actually wiped the server back in October to lower the rates (among other things) so giving 2x events would defeat the purpose of that. As for other events, Manny is actually working on a certain new event too. But that's all you're getting out of me on that. And when I feel more comfortable hosting events (and when lag permits as people have complained about lagging due to events) I'll see what I can do about shaking it up a bit. 3) What many people don't know is that the spawn for ToT and Ulu were actually buffed before release. And, in the case of Ulu, buffed a bit too much. So we had to take it down a notch. Ulu is still a great place to train though. 4) We give updates as much as we can, but sending a notice every time there's lag is just ridiculous. If you're lagging, we're lagging. If you D/C, we D/C. Nothing we can do about that. 5) Donor shop update may be incoming Soon. Again, thank you for the feedback! We really do appreciate it.
