    So I was told that you cannot play with old .wiz files, was unaware of that. Once I was told I logged out as not to cause any trouble. But I have a direct question to the admins/developers of this server. Every time you create a patch we are made to re-download the whole MS client ~ 1.8gb of data. Now I get it that for some people with unlimited internet and no bandwidth limits that is not a problem. But for others who have to pay per mb used this is quite a hefty price to pay. So I ask the admins/developers why can you not create a autopatcher that updates the exact files that need to be updated; and yes while you can download each separate .wz file directly from the mapleroyals website that is still 1.6gb of data. Not that much cheaper. Can this be implemented please. Thank you!

    If there was an auto patcher, the size of the download won't be any different.

    I might not recall with 100% accuracy but when I used to play official servers and updates happened the amount of bandwidth that got consumed was a lot less than updating all of the .wz files in the MS folder. Or as a alternative maybe update just the necessary .wz files instead of all of them?

    When you download separate wz files you only download the ones that has been changed not all of them.
    I have no idea if an auto patcher would decrease the size but I had bad times with games like LoL and their auto patcher.

    I'm still in favor of having this way staying, even if an auto patcher would come.

    They do. Last update only required 4-5 files.

    When we release a patch, just sort the .wz files by date and download all of the ones for that month rather than the whole thing.
