  • Who is the best mobber exept kanna

    Don't feel like you have to stick to one class just because you started with it. There's nothing wrong with finding something you like better than what you're currently playing.

    Contrary to what riza would like to preach, some classes simply can't compete with others when it comes to either mobbing or bossing. It isn't a failing on your part, it's just the difference in classes and their skill kits. For example, your mihile won't, can't, compare to my dual blade when it comes to bossing unless you were to throw a lot of money at it.

  • Ban or "Hacking" notifications

    Is it the ngs hacking detected error, or the "u hav ben blok by gmpolis" garbage?

    Honestly some people are just never going to be happy. Even if you give them what they want, some of them will still find a reason as to why it still isn't good enough.

    This is why I personally believe the players are just as guilty in the "MapleStory is dying" argument.
    Even a bad game is worth playing with the right people. Why would anyone want to play an MMO where people are constantly complaining and saying the ship is sinking?
    Why is that a ship I want to get on? Nexon isn't perfect, far from it. But the player base really does complain way too much.
    I've played games that were actually dying, as in confirmed by the company to be removed in X number of days.
    Even in those games the players didn't complain as much as people do in MapleStory.

    I played a game where we stopped getting updates, hadn't had a single one in probably six months or so, stopped even hearing from the community manager for weeks at a time, and when we finally got the answers we so desperately wanted, they were not what any of us wanted to hear. According to this lovely community manager of ours, the game(as in the IP) was now owned by a different company, who then issued a cease-and-desist order regarding the continued running of game servers. Game servers that were then slated to be shut down December 26th, 2007. We were angry, hoo boy you better believe we were. We were angry at gala-net/gpotato for keeping us in the dark for so long and angry at Yedang for, as we thought, pulling the rug out from under us for no real reason. And even then, with imminent death, more or less, looming on the horizon, we didn't complain as much as maplestory players.
    Unrelated tangent, thus the spoiler tag. You can read up on the game here, as well as see the parting farewell from our community manager here.

    A handful of us came to find out, around 5 or 6 years later, that things weren't as cut-and-dry as we were lead to believe. Apparently the devs weren't getting their share, so they went to a larger entity for help. Now, this wouldn't be so bad, but the problem arose in claims laid out by the CM's letter linked above. In it, he claimed the following:
    Gala-Net has fought for one of two goals. Either the continuation of our service in the US complete with updates, or the voluntary transfer of your characters to a new publisher's service.

    Which sounds lovely, no? Either allow them to continue serving the game, provide them with all held-back content updates; or allow for the transfer of player data to another service. What wasn't mentioned here was that as soon as the announcement was made regarding the C&D order, they elected to kick-off a permanent event ingame that boosted exp, money and item drop rates to absurd levels. Given that most of us hit the high 80s or low 90s for level, with one even hitting cap at 100, the transfer of our data was well and truly off the table at that point. For a game based primarily around pvp, allowing players to enter a new service at effectively endgame would not have been acceptable under any circumstances.

  • World Merge is a fail for Elysium

    I understand that the world merge didn't magically propel your world's population to the levels of bera or reboot in the week since it took place, but you're perpetuating the joke that maplestory players will complain about literally anything, even if you give them exactly what they asked for.

    Everyone asked for a merge for years, yes, and a merge finally happened. Here we are now, a week later, and you, my friend, are the lucky one to be the first to pitch a fit that being given exactly what you asked for was not good enough. Take care not to strain your back, I know goalposts tend to be a bit on the heavy side.
