servers ded lol

Lets not dissolve this into a discussion of them vs us, please. That will get no one anywhere.

 

Sell ap resets? You will get like what, 20m a day from that? These are pennies, you cannot do anything serious with that kind of money, maybe buy pots or something.
GL with getting your washing gear/perfecting your weapon/chaosing your stuff from selling ap resets. I have never sold AP resets and I am doing great, trust me.

Gachapon is much more superior to selling ap resets anyway assuming you don't go to NLC/Kerning or overrated places like this and as far as I know, all servers have gachapon.

Besides, you have to work REALLY hard for your mesos. If you want to earn big amounts and not 20m or 200m you have to take risks with scrolling/market price movements for merching (such as what happened with WS/CS in the new source) or if you want to make decent amounts (still not big though) you have to farm things/grind/sell leech. Selling ap resets won't get you anywhere.

No offence but it sounds like you really have no idea what are you talking about and you are trying to promote some idea that has nothing to do with reality.

 

Neither do you, as i was just stating that you are FORCED to grind for your equipment(in the other server), not go gach and hopefully get the right equipment, then sell it on FM and buy your gear from FM, that's boring imo. getting 1 mill in that server isn't just pocket change, its a lot of money. But i'm done responding, as its not getting anyone anywhere.

 

Everyone likes different parts of MapleStory, from the FM accessibility to Gachapon to straight grinding to only bossing. The poster above me dislikes the concept of merchanting, it seems - the idea of using game functions to collect widely desired items to sell in order to make money to buy items that the player in question needs isn't one that appeals to that poster, and that's totally valid.

The reason that there are so many servers out there is because not everyone likes everything the same way - some people prefer not to have to HP wash all of their characters, some people like post-Big Bang gameplay, some people like the accessibility of no ships and an FM warp, some people like the opposites. You're totally free to play whichever server you think is best - we at MapleRoyals have a specific idea for what we want the game to look like, and we're willing to bend that within reason, but not leave that track.

That being said, I can also see that the server has changed a good bit since new source arrived, and I won't sugar coat it - we may be attempting to repair some of the damage that the turmoil has caused, but Royals is likely not ever going to be exactly what it used to be. Is that a bad thing? That's for you to answer for yourself. Personally, I don't really play MapleStory for the features anymore, I play it for my friends, to hang out with people I like. To me, changes like not being able to access the Free Market instantly meant a lot more than not having Horntail running right now. But I still play, because we can still find ways to hang out, and that's all that really matters to me. If that's not okay to you, well... you have a decision to make.

To drive home my point, I'll restate what Sila said but in a different way. It's not a wholly constructive conversation to post here about what you like on other servers, generally. I can totally understand that you may have experienced concepts in other locations that you may want to bring to our server to improve it; the GM Intern system that we have now is based on systems that I've personally experienced for years over a number of different servers dating back maybe six years or so. But trying to convince people that play this server that things are better elsewhere using generalized statements of your own opinion would be akin to walking into a steakhouse and preaching veganism. We play this server because we like the choices (or at the very least, accept the choices) the direction, and the feel that MapleRoyals has taken. If we didn't, we would have already left, which a lot of people have over the last seven months.

... I don't know why I wrote all of that. MapleRoyals is dead, after all. :thinking:

 

aren't we all ded inside

 

You didn't play much GMS did you. Because what royals was (and will be once the FM works again) is pretty much the same deal, only difference is a lot more people gach as it doesn't cost real money. If you want to grind for your equips all the power to you, but maybe it's because you aren't 100+, but it takes a long time to grind out that perfect sparta from skeles, or craven from those petris (or is that nisrocks?), and so on. and people get them by luck from leveling so they sell in the FM relatively cheap (Time is money after all), completely forgetting some equips can't be farmed, hense the gach craze.

You're justifying your reason for leaving because this server isn't "what you want", which, whatever, is cool. I don't get however what could be changed to make you happy? Remove the mesos multiplayer? Everything would just get cheaper to compensate, WS won't stay 300m if we suddenly pick up less mesos. No more gach? Not to be a dick, but most people who hate on gach are the people who saved up 2 months worth of NX and got nothing good from gaching it all and they're just bitter.

The fact of the matter is this server isn't dead. It has an active community, a lot of which stayed active during the transition. The staff is present on the forums and in game. I'm sorry, but I've been around almost every other PS too, and if you want to think the others do the same, then go for it but that doesn't make it true. If you want to preach how good other servers are, again, all the power to you, I just wouldn't burn the bridge here because you might find in the future what you thought was so great, isn't anymore.

 

You do realise i'm not trying to push my own opinion onto others, right? i was just stating mine, i don't get the same vibe anymore, i have tried to get back into the game, and its not the same for me anymore, and i liked the other server better. i love interacting with people, i love socialising, but all my friends left and the game doesn't feel the same anymore, it feels dead. again, this is just my opinion from MY experience, and no amount of what you believe will change it. Its not a conversation, its just my farewell note. i stated why i quit, and that by itself should have told you that it wasn't a conversation to criticize. i also like the idea of merching, but i should have to EARN meso myself, instead of selling fucking ap resets for 7-10 mill. early game to me is a challenge, and i like that. its nostalgic for me, if i have the option to cheese my way through a game, i will do it. so to me, its a little boring to get 20 million meso for potions every day. again, opinion, not trying to put it onto others. i think i'm using commas too much, hao2engerishpls Last post, because this isn't a discussion on my opinion, its a discussion on if the game is dying or not. please try not to make any more posts related to me, as its not even relevant to the topic at hand.

 

I think this thread has served its purpose and it's turned into a bash-fest on one another for differing opinions.
We all get it: The server's well and alive, but some people have moved on. That's their freedom to do so. We only ask that you don't advertise the other servers here on our forums, as I'm sure they would ask the same of you too. Now this is extending into "this server has this feature better than royals".

Drop the subject, or I'll end up locking the thread - there wasn't much to discuss with it to begin with but it's getting a bit out of hand.

 

So don't sell them and buy 9000 different pets and random nx items instead if that is what you like. Nobody is forcing you to sell them. Nobody is forcing you to gach either. I have never sold any ap resets, lots of players don't. Just the amount of mesos you are getting from npc fodder is more than enough to get your potions and early game stuff.

Just because you or your friends have quit it doesn't mean the game itself is "dead". You don't get to #1 at gtop by being dead. The world does not revolve around you, or them. Stop being a special snowflake.

I will probably get banned now for what I've said and hated by everyone but someone just had to say it.
I mean, these arguments got nothing to do with reality and from what it seems, just meant to promote a different server.

 

The guy is 100% right and i am strengthens every word he wrote!

 

Low mesos is kinda troublesome I think. I tried other server and only got like 100k or 200k at lvl 35 and had to ask guildies for pots. Eventually I got too lazy to lvl and farm anymore and just quit (as there were no people in pqs and stuff either)

 

I've asked for this particular discussion to stop and since it hasn't, I'm locking the thread now. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but yes, Royals is not the place to promote another server by comparing the two and saying "I dont like how Royals does this but I like how this other server does instead".
