Obviously, keep the most populated ones: Reboot, Bera, Scania, Windia, and one other. This way, we can have more channels per world and there would be less lag. There are currently 18 worlds in GMS right now. Each world having 20 channels making it 360 channels overall. With only 5 worlds, there can be a max of 72 channels per world. Make that 50 channels per world, as the end goal is to reduce the amount of channels taking up processing power. Then, there would be 250 channels in total from 5 worlds. That is 110 less channels to manage.
For all the players who would disagree with this decision because they don't want to lose their original world, Nexon should give them some form of compensation and recognition. The players who had their characters moved from their orginal world to the now condensed one can choose which of the 5 worlds kept to go to. They are then given a permanent cash item that indicates their original server (maybe a faded background banner with effects?). They could also be given an extra title that can be worn separate from the title slot. For compensation, Nexon should give them what they deem necessary.
The main problem of Maplestory has been that players either stop playing, or they feel pressured to play on another world due to the lack of population in their world. This then creates the problem of overpopulation and leads to massive server lag. Players get on to afk for special events, get on to cube during dmt, and get on to farm during 2x events. Let's not talk about the massive amount of botters in Maplestory (they add to the population as well).
With the aforementioned solution, Maplestory would have a more close-knit community, less lag, and Nexon may even have less management and work needed to maintain their game.

There are many other things that are causing the decline as well, I'm sure it has to do with the lack of stuff to do, limited to doing most bosses once a week or once a day, lack of in-game content that allows you to do more then train and boss.
MapleStory 2 Closed Beta was interesting how their were mini-games like X & O and Soul Survivor I think it was called?
The only downfall about MapleStory2 that looks like will happen is how easy it is to level up just doing quests only thing left to do after that is craft stuff or make your gear better and that's just a short amount of stuff I mention because I don't feel like ranting anymore in this post wanna do do something else so that's where I end this for now.
No the decline in population is not due to "people getting older" it started when they made party play leveling almost irrelevant in the Unleashed update. Since then many negative changes have been made (ones many people didn't want) . In addition the game crashes /freezes that still happen + the bugs. Lack of communication is another one . Party quests still have bugs which make pqs uncompletable at times. Sure they made some party quests better but they nerfed stuff like R+J into the ground ,removed party play training maps for higher players (Added them for low levels, which aren't even relevant) The buffs to certain party quests came to late as majority of people left the game already who like that aspect. Many people left for private servers because of the negative changes and lack of party play aspects.
Saying the game has "nothing to do" is laughable you have plenty of things outside bossing and training. It's just not many people do them..
If we agree the population has decreased regardless of the reason, can we also agree that the number of servers should decrease as well (we don't have to agree on the exact number of servers), to prevent whatever the population is from being spread to thin over so many servers
Of course , I am all for a merge playing in El Nido (GRAZED) at time you see more bots gold selling in henesys than actual people..
I really don't understand why there are still a few people in here don't wanna merge... I understand their want a tiny server where they can play without interruption but still, what about the overwhelming majority like us? I think if we have only 2 options, either merge or not, then of course we must merge.... this is what the overwhelming majority wants and this is what should and must get...
Or maybe just 3 worlds, a big world such as Bera, and the tiny world such as Scania and the 3rd world which is Reboot, so then people who wants tiny server would go to Scania and those who want great economy with high population will go to Bera, this is so simple...
