Hello,
Weren't these events every two years? It was the only way to try new playstyles, meet new people, and experience different economies. We cannot count the 2019 merge as one because the decisions were made for us, we had no say in which world to choose.
Me at a personal level I want those with large egoes because they feel they're the best in a small world to get crushed or at least not be stuck with people like that.
Thank you for reading an hope it is implemented, frequent world leaps would definitely help us better discover what/who we want to be with.

-World merge? You'll create the exact same problem, people getting caught on the wrong side of a merge. Also like I said earlier I'm regretting my choice. What if I regret it again? There's no way to know till the player tries the world.
-Cross world auction? That would create constant item arbitrage opportunities from a server with more population and one with less, vastly favoring the populated server.
There's two types of players:
1>Those who enjoy the peace of being able to farm where ever and whenever
2>Those who enjoy packed servers with massive amounts of people, which in turn creates a heavily bustling economy and competitive world leaderboard
So the goal is to create 2 servers based on the 2 types of players
A world merge I believe is fine if they
Upgrade the server first or clean up the code to ensure server stability (Ex: TB Change)
(I am also d/cing so much it's a feature to the game now)
Then, advertise in advance that they'll merge servers and players can choose between two worlds from merge day onwards
(This is not a limited time event, but it's a one time change which every account can do once and has the ability to do so until they decide
The above is to ensure the players who come back don't get stuck in crossroads again when they do come back)
-Server A: Aims towards High Pop
-Server B: Aims towards Low Pop
+ Extend channel Limits to 40 because 20 channels isn't enough (This is good QoL for the Low Pop Server and essential for the High Pop Server)
How's this?
And yeah no Cross World Auction. The problem with that is the economy issues with each server will all be linked.
If one server has botters ruining the economy, it's just universally fked now
Also each server should be a different experience and part of the experience includes the economy running through Auction House
This also allows for Cross World RMT and I'm sure a lot more issues
I’m with player choice 100%. Don’t like it? Simply just move back next year or two. There’s no going back from a world merge.
Or an event where you could earn tickets to transfer characters. I'm still messed up from that Bera glitch that happened a few years ago and would love the option of atleast moving a few of my characters to the same world.
I don't think we need a full world merge just a leap event of some sorts would be nice.
It's no issue for people with money to spare but it does leave a bit of bitterness for me
If there is a world leap, it's gotta be an event that encourages people to go all at once and f2p friendly
Im with Franky here, take a world leap in whichever form. Yea sorry not everything is going to be f2p friendly.
That’s the argument? What could have fixed the disaster when players made the wrong choice? You can still fix it! We’re still playing. Send an email to those who have quit. Make a brave move.
A memo claimed removing events and items was because of timing. Well now is the time:
-Players have returned to a world they didn’t choose.
-People quit because they made the wrong choice right? Let them take it back.
-You already look like you’re removing DMT because of the reboot disaster, then using the same argument for another event that’s happened every two years before your (reversible) disaster.
I thank you for the light statement on totems and badges in the past memo. If you’re removing this age old event for real, make it clear.
The disaster wasn't that people quit.
It was that a lot of people moved to Bera, resulting in one world that was overcrowded and laggy (and still hasn't quite recovered) and multiple worlds that became "dead" (and, despite world merges since, are still considered "dead" by some, especially returnees who are used to 2010 levels of population).
Im with Franky here, take a world leap in whichever form. Yea sorry not everything is going to be f2p friendly.
Doesn't make sense to bar entry to Bera as it goes against the server's path for growth
The worst that can happen if you bar entry is that the entirety(or a good Majority) of Bera agree to mass flood a different server and creates an even more overcrowded server in a World that was previously chosen for being quiet.
(Which can 100% happen because most players can easily coordinate on discord)
Well the only way I see any type of world leap/transfer working is the cash shop item. I forgot the price of what it use to be but it must be pricy. At least 50k nx per transfer. That way everyone won't just flock to one world like they did in the past with Bera. Blocking off Bera doesn't fix anything. As long as it's free world leaps people will just hop to the next biggest world and all flock there. It just ruins the point of a world transfer in the first place. As long as it's paid transfers with a high price tag on it then it can be used the correct way and allow people who want to try something new be able to.
Back then, Scania and Windia were blocked off because they had high population, so people looking for denser population all went to Bera. And then people in Scania and Windia saw that Bera was getting bigger, and leaped there too. It was a snowball.
If we close Bera and open Scania, the reverse could happen, and we end up with overcrowded Scania and "dead" Bera.
Nexon is aware of the problem of players being stuck in a world they don't like, for population reasons or otherwise. But no good solution has been suggested yet.
For those of us who have made up our minds on where to go to, we’ll get to move to where we want being early. Those with a sheep mind watching the bars will think extra hard about their decision. This could even open up Bera when enough have left.
It'll suck but at least gives some option of people transferring while should prevent a mass of people moving. Only the few are really going to transfer 3 characters leaving mules behind. Paywall makes it less chance of mass number of people moving.
I know people in the forum talked about how that isn't f2p but Maplestory is far from f2p. Plus if the option can be bought with maple points then those that have the meso can use the meso market. Its how people get cubes, boxes, ect from the cs. As for Bera could be people who hate how crowded it is wanting to go to a different world just as much as people want to go to Bera. I'm one of them.
