>will we never get to experience comfy MS again?
no, it was a product of its time
Time to move on, anon. Cultivate the happy pre-big bang memories and do not poison them with the current image of the game.
it saddens me that revivalms is dead
the private server playerbase would rather blow up their bank account instead of waste their time on low rates,but then they miss the whole point and --fun-- of playing a coop mushroom game
make the server, all you have to have is have leveling equipment that levels 20+ times and some way of getting all those extra accessories so you can level those too.
>Is it truly over, anons, will we never get to experience comfy MS again?
It's over, the entire ecosystem is a bad:
>The 2 big MS private servers game the voting sites by forcing their players to vote for NX.
>The voting sites game the search engines (via SEO) so that they show up first for results like "best maplestory private server".
>This constant gaming funnels new players to the 2 big private servers.
>The longer and bigger the servers get, the more whales they produce.
>The more whales they produce, the more incentive the servers have to game the system, and the more draconian they server admins will become to protect the whales.
>The longer the servers exist, the fatter the whales become. The whales start to flood any discussion with MS private servers and convince any prospective player that all other servers suck besides their whale server. They also flood the web, providing more SEO and marketing to the big servers.
>Vicious cycle, toxic ecosystem, avoid at all costs.
Honestly, the best thing that can happen at this point is for n*xon to find some way to shut down the 2 big private servers and hope that the next set of servers don't go down the same shitty route. Until then, you'll have to find another MMO private server community to play, or just host your own server and create a small community instead of hoping for some giant server revival with thousands of players.
you're really dumb
Only dumb in the sense that Nexon can't run anything better. All that being said, MapleRoyals/MapleLegends are pretty trash
everything you said is literally wrong though. your take on things is quite stupid.
That wasn't even my post, but it is more or less correct. And all you've really done is spewed "ur dumb", so the facts are leading away from your case moron lol
>forced to vote
maybe on legends because they're moronic but you don't have to on royals. it's passive income, which is nice, but it's not anywhere close to being vote2win. for example 3 years straight of voting would be like 25 billion meso, which is enough for like a perfect RC, which isn't even best in slot. it's shit tier compared to everyone effective meso farming method available, even just bossing like a normal human.
>da joos rigged google
dumb ass
>WHALES
you don't know what a whale is, do you? a whale is someone dumping tons of cash, four figures plus, so they can win the game. you see this in gacha, live service games, and normal maplestory. it is not a factor at all in royals (and probably legends but im too lazy to check) because you can't buy an advantage. your entire schizo rant about whales make no sense because they don't exist.
>it's so viscious and toxic!
did you get banned dummy
>Forced to vote
So you admit Legends voting is moronic, yet give Royals a free pass? The frick is the reasoning behind this non-argument. Royals is even more asinine in that you use the NX there as a barter system
>da joos
Stupid Black person lol
>WHALES
You have no idea how much people "donate" to these servers, do you? It's not AAA levels, but if you honestly believe when you see those giant ass Golden Fish seats (for $30+ NX DONOR only) it is just a meme...You're fricking moronic. I haven't played Legends in forever, but I'm sure I donated at least $200 over a while
>Did you get banned
Would I even care? You got all this butt-mad to type your bullshit out, but seemingly missed the part where I mentioned Maple is dead moron
i don't know exactly how legends voting works, i think you can only get apr for washing from it though, so if you want to actually play lategame stuff you need to vote. the only thing voting in royals gets you is a small amount of passive income, which is just a nice bonus. it's not enough to perfect even a single slot of equipment even in 3+ years of voting. it's basically fun money.
>people donate zillions to get funny costumes, they're whales!
how does donating for untradeable cosmetics change the economy or game balance or warp anything to protect da whales? it's a made up boogeyman. the ban appeals section of the royals forum is fool of donators kvetching that they aren't getting special treatment dipshit. it's all totally transparent and there for you to see.
>maple is dead WAAAAH
really what you're crying about is that your childhood is dead. no game or private server is ever going to make you feel like you're 13 again, logging on after school to pq with your online friends, and any expectation that something will give you that feeling again is childishly moronic. royals is the maple experience, almost all the warts included, whether you can admit that to yourself or not.
Royals was the worst Maple experience I've ever had. Pure trash. The player-base is somehow worse than Legends is a stroke of evil genius. I think you're really underselling how stupid it is to have an entire economy that is affected by voting on GTOP lol
They're the same thing. The sheer fact that Maple exists in (current year) and still has servers that exist with HP washing is humorous but pretty pathetic gameplay-wise
>The ban appeals section of Royals
You're the only one moronic enough to step into that section and use that as a rational argument moron lol
If you believe donors have no say over the server/discord homosexualry that goes on in this servers; I envy your naivety, and that's about it.
>Reeeee some strawman about childhood and tendies
Uhhhh....no, it's just a bad game/chat and grind simulator now anon. It's not that fricking deep kek
>Duh EocnOMY!!!!
voting doesn't effect the economy dumbass. all mesos in circulation in royals are 100% honestly farmed. selling a month worth of voting for what you can make in one hour of selling leech or a few good boss runs is not going to have any impact on such a large system, at all. use your fricking brain.
>discord trannies waah
i've never used the royals discord and i never have to. what's your obsession?
>donors literally control the game!!!
they don't. unless you have some proof for your head canon schizo ramblings then that's all they are.
>uh, current old school maple servers are just grind/chat simulators, nothing like the real og maple
uh... are you really this dumb man?
>>uh, current old school maple servers are just grind/chat simulators, nothing like the real og maple
Your post was so shitty I can't even be fricked to respond to most of it; I said Maple USED to be a grind and chat simulator, but Discord killed the chat part of Maple and the grind is mostly solo or leeching homosexualry etc now
You really are a stupid frick, as much as you like throwing that insult around. Like wind from a bird's wind or water from a fish's fin, contempt flows from the contemptible.
i actually played gms back in 2006. if you weren't scrambling to get a pq you were slumming it in a channel training and would ccplz any motherfricker that DARED hit one of your mobs. royals has every pq working (and people run them constantly), quests that are actually worth doing (notable big prequests pretty much require a party) and active parties get bonus exp. no discord homosexualry required. i could go on right now and spend my entire day shit posting with autists in kerning if i wanted. you homosexuals are so disingenuous, if you can just admit that what you want is unattainable i would have no issue with your dumb ass. modern og maple pservers are shit in your eyes because og maple was shit, you were just 10 years old and can't admit it. if you don't like it you don't like it, but it's embarrassing watching you flounder around trying to grasp what everyone else can already see, that you're just trying to recapture a childhood magic that is intangible, ephemeral, and totally in your schizo head.
Your posts just become increasingly more autistic lmfao
Nice head canon though- Yeah, everybody was just 10 when they played Maple (I just become much younger lmfao), yes yes, sure sure. And like I said, Maple in (current year) is still shit. I'm glad you enjoy Royals this goddamn much, but it just sounds like your lifestyle is the one stuck in the past super-Black person kek
Let much change my argument:
MapleRoyals is pure dogshit 🙂
Motherfricker, you're a super moron
>no argument
moron kek
are you an ESL or what?
>No argument
>moron kek
>Are you a ESL or what
What part of that post wasn't clear enough for you jackass. And if it wasn't clear by the attached JPOGs, I'm white and own your house lmfao
I don't need an argument to read how fricking stupid you are.
moron newbie
you're really smart
>>This constant gaming funnels new players to the 2 big private servers.
and then they quit pservers altogether after realizing the "1k playercount" these servers desperately sell is inflated by SEA bugmen with 4 multiclients and autistic whales
It doesn't help that the playerbase in both servers is borderline moronic and never uses the ingame chat which makes you feel like you're playing with bots
that's just every mmo these days
The biggest flaw of preBB was that 4th job mages/Bishops pretty much run the economy, run the leech business, and are much too easily to multi-client the buffs on (HB/HS/SE etc)
I don't really have a solution other than banning multi-client (lol), it just sucks that the meta of the two big MS servers are more or less Multiclient Story
Oh yeah, that and HP washing/build variety/stats are objectively fricked lol; but yeah, MMOs are a dead genre really
mages are trash. first 99s are almost always big dps because of bossing. mages get their mg dispelled then they die in 1 hit
>99s
200s*
>Mages get their MG dispelled they die in 1 hit
Yeah, no shit sherlock. It's a good thing that dispel is such a common mechanic that matters 99.99% of the time huck yuck derp herp shit slurp
>First 200s
Always bishop, unless you're using some meme server logic, and I mean, nobody cares how fast you can boss, everybody will be funneled into a party for split loot unless you think solo bossing is a life achievement lmfao
TLDR Go frick yourself stupid noob
>exp based on amount of damage done to target
>bishop does frick all
geared dps are the ones getting shit tons of exp from zak arms because of damage contribution
My brother in Christ, what does that matter/mean/so frick what?
You must be playing on some high-rate meme server, where bossing zakum/ht for EXP is a serious consideration/unlimited runs. Or you're just fricking too autistic and judge your MS character on some dumbass logic like EXP/Zakum run
>MMOs are a dead genre really
im kinda relieved its over tbh
Lowkey, me too.
I mean, I enjoyed my many hours in MapleStory, OSRS, and every other MMO from the 2000s-2010s, but nothing in gaming has also screamed at me from the past "YOU FRICKING WASTED YOUR LIFE MAN PLAYING THIS ONE GAME SO FRICKING MUCH YOU FRICKING IDIOT HAHAHA DUMBASS
You put a 100 hours into a normal game and you've mastered it, you put 100 hours into a MMO and you finished the tutorial phase
yk what's worse than no good pservers existing at all? the fact that wingsMS exists and it's chinese only,with a language barrier so thick you can't even use contextual cues and certain keywords because chinese characters get replaced with question marks and gibberish
>Want to play without lags
>Nobody plays on EU
>Doesn't matter anyway since the game single player
meh
what a shame
I know this feeling, but yeah- Maple Story as a viable time-waster just isn't the same. You used to log into Maple Story for some chat and grind, now you log in to:
(HP wash, PQ spam, boss spam, get leeched, do dailies, do GM events, collect cards, farm etc, farm mesos, farm, exploit bugs, run 2-3 clients at once)
Chat and grind isn't the same. Discord kill the chat, and this game doesn't have a deep enough character/build system to really allow for deep solo play in (current year). I do miss it though.
newbies arguing with newbies
I wish I was a newbie; there is no escape
nobody said ESL on Ganker until I started using it about 11 years ago. I invented that phrase in that context.
I miss when we just called it FOB
Fresh off (the) boat
ESL is a shitty insult and annoys the frick out of me. It'd be one thing if it was just an undercover way to call somebody a Black person, but in reality ESL is only used when a poster makes a single typo lmfao
fuggin kek, the other day i saw someone put an “i” where a “u” was supposed to go, and fuggers immediately stopped arguing to flame him for being ESL. granted it was on a high traffic normie board but still, god damn the IQ of people here is funny sometimes
When Royals was new it was nice, but like every other big pserver it becomes trash so i left. Legends just sucks overall and i'm pretty sure its ran by a troony. And yes they're full of whales that the mods favor and bots...lotsa bots tho Legends claims to be bot free lol.
I liked some of the other v83 servers, but they were dead compared to the big 2 so i could never find anyone to PQ with.
As for postBB i liked a few pservers, but they're gone now and i dont play anymore.
I want a real MS2 pserver now tho tbh now that maplestars bs
not that*
I like Kimmy, but I would 100% believe they are a troony lmfao. I know all the mods/GMs of the last 5 years have been ass-clowns.
Legends was a fun time (for me) back when it first started and could barely top 500 players on a good day. Once the leech meta/bot/2-3 clients non-sense took over, it was just another shitty server with low-rates.
I never got to play MS2- The nexon launcher wouldn't work on my PC. ...Yeah, Nexon is THAT fricking moronic of a company
The running joke on Ganker threads is that Kimmy's real name is Kenny. Idk where they got that info, but it's still funny.
MS2 was fun for like a week then everyone fricked off after they hit cap cause it was that fast. I personally liked the minigames and playing music. It was actually more social than current MS cause of that. plus you could earn exp from it. Oh and fishing..gotta have fishing in your azn mmo. (which also gave exp)
MS2 was kino. There wasn't enough endgame content on launch and the devs didn't seem to get much opportunity to add more content. I quickly got bored grinding the same content to make my gearscore go up 1%. The customization was so good and the social aspects were super fun, like you mentioned. It truly captured that oldschool Maplestory feel where I was just playing the game and chatting with randoms. I loved how everything gave exp, even the social stuff. I'm honestly getting upset thinking about how much I miss that game.
Yea its a shame the only pserver (afaik) is being ran on crypto and donations and the vids i saw on it looked dead anyway. I think they were using the kms cash shops so you had to pay lmao.
I like Kimmy too
90% of players were bishop and assassin back then. Honestly sin looked so boring to play idk how anyone managed to stick with it
Lowkey I think Naruto being so popular around the time rubbed off on the Wizet employee who coded Assassins
delete NLC potions and mage FMAs wont be a problem anymore
A few private servers I'd played in the past did this, and it did quite a bit to help curb the 4th mage leech problem. You still end up with elix/power elix being bought from noobs, but that feels so much more natural to have a limited amount of 50/100% potions and have to barter with the entire server to acquire them
Maple Story R34 probably the only type of porn that makes me laugh every time lol
Played Mapleroyals again,holy shit the playerbase is ASS, i swear it's a 99/1 ratio of moronic 80iq ESLs who can't even piece together simple box patterns for pqs and mules
I unironically want nexon to find wherever poophole "developing"country it's being hosted in and have it nuked
which server are we picking?
Unironically I'd probably play GMS Reboot before most of the private servers. I could almost be talked into playing Maple again lmfao
MapleRoyals has ass progression and player-base, and MapleLegends is really anal about the leech economy/dual-clienting/having to do a PQ 45+ times to get a silly pair of glasses.
I'm pretty sure this is the "cool kids private server" of the season. But like most private servers, it probably won't last past 5-6 months so I mean...Again, you may just want to play on Reboot (I've never actually played Reboot but I'm just assuming it'll exist in two years so lmfao)
https://kaizenms.net/?base=main
Oh yeah, forgot to add MapleLegends/MapleRoyals has HP washing; so you know, if you want to play half the classes past level 120, get fricked lol
don't any of the servers have hp washing custom items? i remember reading about them for a few in the past.
I'm guessing Kaizen would probably have custom HP washing items; I haven't tried that server, I just remember CastelaMS crashing and burning (lawl the rule of 5 months with these private servers) and that server rising from its ashes. Most decent private servers have custom hp washing items, but I know 100% that Legends/Royals do not
You may want to look through the server list on GTOP (oof), but yeah, not having to jump through HP washing hoops for the XXth time would be nice. I only keep bringing up Reboot because I haven't actually played it; I'm guessing you have haha
There's preBB servers that have boosted hp/mp no need to wash, but people say the owner of these servers is a scammer. Just pump n dump em. Also dead playerbase. Kinda sucks cause it beats having to wash or farm "special boss items" like in DreamMS to increase HP
Yeah, they all are dead servers/don't last past 5-6 months. I've heard of DreamMS in the past; but I'm pretty sure it is a dead server now.
And I mean, some of those servers "do" allow some shady items/practices behind the scenes. Whenever I see a workglove with +25 attack you know bullshit occurred lol
Hell, just for an example, I remember pretending to be a girl (literally over a decade ago) on a private server and the GM gave me max stacks of Attack apples and other broken gear and I rose to rank #1 pretty easily lmfao
well, dream's servers were basically the same thing: up for a year and then he took it down and made a new one with changes. they were still very fun and had significant changes to keep it fresh. he was adding kms content before gms even got it. a server doesn't need to last years like extalia did if they give you enough time to see all of the content with your friends.
I don't disagree, but it also makes me wary to join servers that are like 3 months old, because I know the timeline is always pretty sketchy.
When the alternative is MapleRoyals or MapleLegends though, I'd rather try out Reboot or a new private server with low rates. I had fun on CastelaMS a few months back for like 10 hours (until the server lagged, people realized they could dupe items in the storage during lag and....lawl)
I can't do low rate servers anymore. Guess i'm too old for that grind, but it has to mid rate or bust now.
Just curious, what do you consider as low-rate?
Kaizen has progressive XP multipliers IIRC. Maple Story has this really odd issue where certain levels drag out (51-70 for example), but has this odd issue where if the rates are too high, nothing matters but 4th job lol
Again, unironically, doesn't Reboot have the highest rates in that case lol
>what do you consider as low-rate?
1x 2x or maybe 3x
worst part about reboot and modern maple is all of the link skills and legion.
i don't want to play those shitty classes to be optimal. i want to play my main
I've never played Reboot, so I have no idea lol It's probably why I'm so much more willing to give it a try kek
1x is fricking memes, 2x is slow, 3x is pretty good, I'd say like x4 or x5 would be ideal lol
Things like x10+ aren't worth playing IMO. You probably want to play on Kaizen, since it has progressive rates (starts out at like x2, and ramps up to like x8 by 4th job)
the events of recent have been making it a lot easier, the last major event (18th anni) had stuff that let you level up ~104-200 characters without even playing on them, which was nice. and the current event helps level past 200. Still very annoying, i do agree, i cant be assed to usually get past level 1 link/level 70 for most characters. A lot of that shouldnt be dependant on events, because if you join late to the event you usually miss out on the biggest rewards, since it rewards daily gameplay first and foremost. This is the korean MMO dream, however.
That's a nice image, I saved it
how many of us on kaizen? might roll today
Are you that same anon from like thursday? You took your sweet ass time lol
I have no idea why you think there is a huge following of /vm/ players on Maple- You really were looking at a 2-3 person experience but I don't think anybody has the patience of waiting 72+ hours to pick a server lol
This is just a message for those who played an unnamed Ganker private server 3 years ago.feel free to ignore otherwise lmao
Sheo's back, baby
based Sheo. what happened to him? I left the discord
Well as he put it he proved his point to Stoner that he was garbage at hosting a server and a moron but he can't remember exactly why he just ghosted everyone after a while other than life taking a turn for the worse at the time and taking the time to explain wasn't a priority, other than that he said he's okay now at least
that's good that he's doing well. frick colby
game sucks ass, don't bother
