I have been waiting years for a world leap event.
This is insane. Hime would of never allowed this to happen. I cant enjoy maplestory because my server is dead. I have been in khaini for more then 10 years but i need friends. its too lonely. For the amount of servers that are dead world leap events are not held frequently enough. Why make it impossible for your LOYAL player base to connect with more maplers then ever before. sincerely a guy who played maplestory for 11 years and just wants to keep playing but not in a ghost server.

I should also point out that the only thing making it "impossible to connect" with more players is your apparent resistance to the thought of restarting on a new server. While that's understandable, it's also not really something that nexon is fully to blame for. You can, at any time, uproot yourself from khaini and restart in bera or reboot(whichever suits your fancy), but you don't.
And as much as I'd love to see another world transfer event, it goes without saying that bera will likely be joining the ranks of scania and windia in being barred from incoming transfers from other servers. Your only realistic option is to take it upon yourself to relocate for now.
OR
Additional alliances. Maybe combine grazed, bacon, and broni.
One-way transfers from high-pop to low-pop is going to help nothing but to further scatter the playerbase, and world alliances are a dead horse that needs no further beating. Look at the three world alliances that already exist, two of them are comprised of six worlds each yet those are among the most barren and lifeless of all the worlds. That does not scream "success" to me.
What is needed is full server merges. No alliances, no transfer event periods where you have to choose between leaving behind a dead world, or your storage space and monster collection progress. Actual, full server merges, and nothing less.
I'm not against this at all, but this requires a great deal more effort. I'd rather they did the alliances now and sorted out the full merge later.
That's kind of the point. Balancing the overloaded worlds with the smaller worlds.
The era of this game, this service at least, requiring almost 20 different worlds is long over. They can prune the server list down to three or four, not counting reboot.
World merges would be a good idea, but just how many worlds should we merge together. There's also positives and negatives for dead servers. For example, people who play in dead servers can train in the "better" spots ( CLP, FES2, MTS2, Silent Swamp, etc ) that would normally be crowded, can be almost guaranteed a spot. Even during 2x, you can almost manage to find a spot in these maps after 2x has begun. But There is also people who want more friends to talk to, or get new friends.
Depending on anyone's perspective, they may want or not want to merge with other worlds. However most active Maplers have already lived up with a lot of changes, and maybe this time the majority of them will accept it.
I don't want to merge because I won't be #5 Aran in my world alliance anymore. W/C
We already only have 6 normal servers, but yes we should go down to fewer. 3-4 is probably the right number.
Ideally the alliances should become a single server instead of a set of linked servers.
If this isn't possible there's other things that might at least help us in the right direction.
ex:
-hide all sub-servers (on world select) unless the account has characters there already
-display the alliance worlds as a single world in ranking website
...maybe more?
Yup we need full server merges there is no other choice. Maplestory is a mature game. There is no room for any error or dissonnection between its lasting population.
look at world transfer how it was done and what was the limits (yea lol it had restrictions why ?)
you think they cant do it more like that ?
you think they dont see the countless threads of people want to merge move to populated sever
they know and see it well, they got no problem doing it
why they ignore for so long and dont want make their community satisfied i got no idea
(like for real you need to beg for years and countless times just to get out of dead server wich is their fault for me its so crazy and i cant understand )
i understand some dont want social thing and want grind alone and all that
but no reason to force other to stay away from their friends just cus they could not transfer on time or cus weird restrictions
most of maplers are fine with transfer no need merge you can stay on server you want
how hard its to make your customer happy like:
Hey mapler we heard you are not satisfied with our service unfortunately xxx server population decreased and its not optimal for multiplayer style we intended alltho some enjoy in it ,we know you want continue play on populated server and we would like to transfer you there
write you characters etc etc ............
its not hard right ? all win win
but i think its all about remake char and invest $$$ again or move reboot
or maybe not lol
yes this was hard to read but yes this is on point
