Closed We all want a merge
Comments
This sums it up.
5 minutes into the video and all that's there is complaining and bashing Nexon and anecdotal claims about botting and working at Nexon. Does this video actually have any points to bring up about server merges and if so, at what time are they in the video? Because it may sum up your point of view on how Maple is being run/how Nexon is as a company, but it has nothing to do with the thread.
LMAO Yeah I'm sorry I forget people like you have the attention of about 5 minutes my friend told me long ago about people like you, they want a 2 minute answer or they start losing interest.
Nexon It's so hard to kill bosses,
Nexon it takes to long to level
Nexon there is nothing to do.
Nexon make world merge
Moral of the story you, and your followers are ruining the game...
Next you will be complaining about how over crowded the channels are.
That is another strawman.
Who ever said that a low-population world should be allocated the same resources as a high-population one?
I have seen Nexon run anywhere between one and five channel servers (software) on a single physical server. And since they are using AWS, they also have ready access to server computers of varying power. Similarly, they have in the past reconfigured their network hardware to alleviate congestion at certain junctions.
All of this is largely invisible to players.
It's to be expected that they would continue to allocate resources as needed, rather than in a blindly even fashion.
I do miss those days, I've said it before for many of us, the cons of a populated server or more preferable then the benefits of a low populated server. In in the cases of a pq, in a populated server it always atleast remained an option, it would be stupid to even entertaining pq's as a possibility in a world like khaini. And some of these benefits are most trivial things I have ever heard, like smega spam and drama lol, I guess its too hard to survive those things now
BTW a lot of what you said is irrelevant because although they most certainly are true, they are true in both populated and non populated servers
I actually agree that those who want to play in a dead server should be allowed to play in a dead server, but I have no faith in Nexon to make changes so that everyone is happy. So if there is a decision between who to leave unhappy I would prefer it would be your group that wants dead servers
They also failed keeping the game social by not providing any ways for players to stay in a populated servers unless they weren't taking a break during certain events
They did provide the means, whether or not you participated, it's your own decision. It isn't Nexon's fault people take breaks from the game, especially one during the event that lets you flock to where the others are moving to.
too bad it was a time limited event that made my world worse to play in
I don't need an answer in 2 minutes, but I would like a more concise format. If you bring up a video in a thread about what to do with the servers, it isn't wrong to expect a video that mentions that in a timely fashion. And if the argument in said video that supports your side gives me nothing but swearing and empty anecdotes, then you shouldn't blame me for thinking the video is completely irrelevant. I've played this game for years; if I see what looks like a salt filled, unreasonably hot take on a subject, then I'm going to ignore it if it doesn't bring anything to the table.
With the way you summarized it, it seems as though the creator of that video commented on things everyone already knew and smashed their solutions together to create "merge worlds please". All 3 of those points can be solved without even involving world merges, and 2 of those barely have anything to do with the topic at all (leveling and bosses). And if the moral of the story is that we're ruining the game, please show me what effects our advocacy against complete merges has had.
The world leaping event was in fact one way they kept the game social, I will admit. Regardless of whether people were taking a break, that was its purpose. Its success (as seen by Bera) is no doubt one of the reasons why so many people are pushing for another one and for merges, which would be the more impactful solution overall. But most of the people advocating for merging aren't getting around the fact that there's more to the situation than "merge everything and everything will be fine".
Well, a lot of what's been said in this whole thread is irrelevant, so I just felt like giving my opinion, regardless of its "relevance" to some people. :P
In any case, there are so many preferences as there are colors. *I* prefer a small, quiet, peaceful server, without as many lag, as many idiots spamming smegas or ks'ing and whatnot. It's obvious that are others that prefer an overcrowded server. I just wanted to give my *opinion* so there's a "record" that not "everyone" wants a server merge or to see their small world disappear and become a huge mass of people.
Im so confused, I swear the guy your'e answering is against merging worlds, the same position as you.
Am I the only one who noticed that people from Nexon (like AKrai...) doesn't want to merge worlds? I think... it's pretty much say everything... (that Nexon DOES NOT want to merge worlds, but of course they'd bring up the "real" reason that they just "want an empty server" so they "can train alone without anyone bother them nor take their map"..... I'm truly sorry but I don't buy that.... -_-
Wow, you said it, you literally said everything.
Someone should really make a thread of what you said, it says everything and no one can denied it! what you said is reality, but of course they'd always find a "reason".

Ok. But it isn't a strawman. I did not claim you intended for the resources to stay the same. I only brought about my concern on the resources being distributed fairly and expanded on the topic. Trying to have a civil conversation, but you seem to be getting offended and claiming strawman over and over again (This statement would be a strawman if any).
Dont think AKradian is offended by your claim, it actually seems as if you didnt know the resources in terms of servers, weren't in fact even, as AKradian explained in detail, as you claimed with your statement. Since if you knew resources weren't allocated evenly, you wouldn't have brought it up. " trying to have a civil conversation... but you seem to get offended." Sounds like a smokescreen.
Do you mean specifically Nexon employees or anyone that reps them like forum moderators?
As for the comment of an MMORPG - keep in mind that your arguement of Maplestory being "a social one at that" requires two things (1) people and (2) something that brings them together socially - whether this is questing bossing etc. Bossing has become mainly a solo like thing, unless you have a decent guild going on or buds to party up with. I'm speaking this from playing on Scania before Reboot and the populace falling on Scania and also when I started shortly before the Chaos patch. As for PQ's AGAIN - THERE"S NO INCENTIVE TO DO THEM. This is the reason many stopped doing them - the only one that some do is R/J and even then, THEY DO NOT FINISH IT, they just use it for grinding, that's it.
I'm all up for social aspects that I wish hadn't died off due to the populace falling down. But if there's nothing to draw people in, then the game will still be quiet. I do not miss the constant lack of decent maps [this is Nexon's fault, the mobs heavily vary on exp gain for mobs of the same levels, etc] and not being able to hit up the "good ones" due to all the channels being full. It's already bad enough that I've found some popular grind maps, like Pirates, getting hit up with Botters. It'd only be worse due to a single non reboot world.
I'd wager, like others already stated, that if those who want a one world gaming experience would be crying for fixes to problems they had turned a blind eye to like the botters, latency and that no one is still playing those PQ's.
