To the GM's and players as well: 1)What do you think the goal of MapleRoyals is? I was under the impression it was to create an awesome nostalgic server. 2)How do you think the server is going in achieving that goal? In my opinion adding v142 hairs and eyes instead of fixing the thousands of bugs in this server seems to be a silly move, but that's just me since I thought the goal was to create an awesome, nostalgic server. EDIT: I'm gonna rephrase the question because I don't think it's clear enough for most of you. 1)What do you think the goal of MapleRoyals is as a server? So what do you think Matt's ultimate goal is for the server as a whole, basically what kind of server should it be aiming to become 2)How do you think the server is going in achieving that goal? Do you think that Matt and the rest of the GM's are taking the right steps? Or should they be doing something different?
It's not a silly move at all - they need more donations, and the old nx equipments & hairstyles became quite boring. Another thing, you're talking about the server being nostalgic. Royals already have things that can be consider as non-nostalgic, such as GM's in the fm, and small events. I can't see that it bothers you. And for your questions - 1) Creating a new fun path of maple world without making any mistakes, unlike Nexon. The thing that I'm most grateful for is the fair gameplay. There are almost zero amount of servers who offer a fair gameplay, so I have to thank them and credit john and Matt. 2) They already did
To me, Royals is just a place for people to gather and have fun playing a game. As someone who never played the official maplestory past v83, and someone who hasn't been in any private servers, I did not come here for nostalgia. Nor do I stay here because of it. I joined this server because it was a version of the game that I was familiar with and had low rates. Its basically as if i picked up where i left off a few years ago. Theres no nostalgia for me while playing on this server. The nostalgic feeling I might get from remembering my time in GMS would be because of the people there, not the items or gameplay. Those people will never return. I am here because there are new people here that I can call friends that I enjoy spending time in thsi game with. The goal of MapleRoyals should be to foster this type of community. I personally welcome new items/maps/other additions to the game. We all know that any changes made wouldn't be so drastic that royals would become the 'new' maple that everyone seems to hate.
1)What do you think the goal of MapleRoyals is? In my opinon, it's to not be pay2win let the players be comfy inside the community have the classic feeling with a few custom things make a fair and balanced economy and some other stuff 2)How do you think the server is going in achieving that goal? If you ask me, they are doing a terrific job keeping the game stable. After playing lots of MapleStory private servers that were pre and post-BB, I can say this is one of the friendliest private servers that exist. Not only the friendliest, but the most balanced gameplay and economic-wise. The only complaint I have is them not fixing a few minor bugs, like some of the skills for Bucc. There's other issues to fix, I understand that. And I know they will fix them, but a part of me really does not want to deal with a buggy class that won't be fixed for a good bit.
In my opinion the nostalgia from Maplestory itself was grinding to get good, self-fulfillment from perfect scrolling or just godly equips without having to pay real money or competing with people paying real money. What I look like (nx, eyes, hair) doesn't affect what I'm doing.
