It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
It'll be awful for a new player that just started playing to see these worlds.
I really hope Nexon starts thinking about merging servers because this isn't funny anymore.
The goal here is for Nexon to bring in more NEW PLAYERS but this isn't helping it.
More New Players = More Money
The goal here is to construct the community, not deconstruct it.
that new player stuff aint happening

Okay allow me to make this clearer for you... Nexon announce when they're going to do an unscheduled server maintenance in-game with the text being scrolled at the top of the screen. So please don't use that as an excuse, when Nexon announce when the maintenance happens.
As for LTQ and being so close to completion, again..... It's a game. Yes it sucks if you disconnect, and have to start over, BUT that does not justify cheating.
I assume, depending on the severity of the problems caused with numerous unscheduled maintenance, Nexon then chooses to extend events due to times missed.
But honestly, all from what you've said, you cannot justify cheating on a game where the game makers don't allow it !
Ok, maybe I was referring to something else in that sentence, because I didn't have time to process that thought properly.

You also seem to think there is an "end", "Completing" or a "Winning the game" in an MMO, which is generally not the case in MMO's, which are online games that are constantly updated with content.
It sounds, to me, that MMO's are not your type of game and you would be better off playing standard, single player games that you can Complete and cheat at anytime.
I strongly insist you do not pursue any more MMO's if you want the world to revolve around you and your problems.
You might be right.Like I said, MapleStory was fun at first. But as time went on, I began to realise, little by little, that this game is growing a bit more complicated than what I originally thought. What with multiple characters on my account that each need to complete a quest separately to access certain areas (EG, Gollux Boss queue map). They also have separate fatigue metres for harvesting that reset 20 points every hour. Worse is that the profession gauge (Alchemy, Smithing, Accessory Crafting) for each character degrades overtime if nothing is crafted within a certain period of time. And like before, EVERY... MILLISECOND ...COUNTS. Who knows when my modem will act up again? Who knows when the next lightening storm will cut the power to my computer? Especially in a critical moment of completing a quest that's part of an LTQ? And I doubt Nexon will compensate for the quest that I was unable to click the completed button due to my "modem going on the fritz" or "my computer dies because lightening cut the power".
Speaking of computer, I have two computers sitting beside each other! Why can't I log on to MS and play as 2 characters at a time? That way, I can multi task. My Zero Mule can train to get EXP on one computer, while my Mechanic Main farms mesos on the other computer. And this will save alot more time and alleviate a ton of strain on my workforce.
And I'm pretty sure you all had to put up with this: "Listen mom, I know it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, bed time, time to pay taxes, time to refuel the car, feed the pet, etc., BUT I CAN'T PAUSE AN ONLINE GAME!!!!!" I had to put up with that for 3 years straight while playing MapleStory. I had to stall her very VERY hard to buy some extra time to finish completing a situation in MS.
Also, have you ever heard the phrase "Trying doesn't matter if you always fail"? Yeah, no matter how many boss killing videos I watched on how to kill this boss with a certain class, I just can't put a dent in them! Plus, killing extreme difficulty bosses (Hell Gollux, Hard Magnus, CRA bosses, etc.) is the only way to get the expert level equips (Tyrant Gear, Superior Gollux Gear, etc) without paying real money for the Marvel or giving up 9.9b mesos for Tyrants/Super Gollux gear. I tried all the tactics I learned from the videos with each class used to kill the boss, but it didn't do anything! The cubes I bought with the reward points and used during Miracle Time had no effect in getting a Legendary potential. So, I was forced to use what I currently had. Worse is that I seemed to be failing more than succeeding at star forcing equips. So thats another way I lost a ton of mesos.
If you watch this, you'll see a huge list of reasons people cheat in Payday 2 (even though it isn't an MMO game).Go to 7:36 to hear his real life reasons.
My reason why I would ever cheat in MapleStory is reason 16 and 26 in the video. After some time, the game is too grindy, and yep, I'm bored sitting by my computer. Of course, I could just set the skill key setting by setting the space bar as an attack skill key, then jam it in place with the handle of a glass beer cup. Then, with my pet's meso/drop magnet, the pet will pick up mesos and monster drops for me. But then, I'd be blocked for the hack reason. With me controlling the character, my brain is only focused on one thing: farming mesos. But then, I could just call in someone (a human friend) to play MapleStory and farm the mesos for me. How could that be wrong?
So before I first began playing MapleStory, I decided to look at the YouTube videos of it first to see what I'm dealing with. While I was browsing, I stumbled upon a video that showed a player was banned. So I watched it and this stirred up my curiosity about this game. This player was banned (permanently) for putting his YT channel in the chat. So I decided to look at other "MapleStory banned" videos. The reasons were stunning (and variable). Another was banned for misconduct. But soon, I came across a video titled "I was banned from _____MS (MapleStory Private Server)". I have seen the word "server" several times when certain websites I try to browse don't open because "the server stopped responding". But I never really knew what the word "server" meant. And this server is referring to MMO world. So I decided to play it safe and join MapleStory via the official website, because I had no idea at the time what a "private server" really was.
It was not until 3 years later that I finally decided to retire from the official MapleStory game and decided to join a private server (even though I knew it might get me in trouble). It was there I finally got my education on what "server" means in the MMO community. You know Scania, Bellocan, Galicia, Arcania, Renegades, ETC? These servers kind of act like Chat Rooms from the old days of computer technology. I finally learned that a private server acts like a sort of privately owned chat room. And that was when I realised I could've played MapleStory much more casually and had better grades on my school exams back in high school.
But even still, private server sites still forbid cheating. However, I learned they do serve the same purpose as a jailbreak for iOS; which is allow the user more freedom to the game without having to go through the restrictions imposed by the software manufacturer.
But anyways, I think I am going to stick to games like Candy Crush, Tiny Tower, Plants vs Zombies, etc. Because games like MapleStory pushed my dexterity beyond its breaking point.

Again. I am aware of Nexon's Mobile Games along with the DS Series of Games as I have them on my DS and 3DS.
That anime was based on the 2007 MapleStory back when the MMO Storyline didn't exist just Random Quests.
Another thing. I don't think they're DS/3DS Game is that interesting in comparison to the MMO Storyline and the Anime sucked.
They need to make more merchandise Period.
Also it doesn't need to be on Kickstarter it can be on the Official Announcements thread.
Just because they have a lot of money doesn't mean they can make more btw.
