The main reason why Zero won't be on Reboot is because of money. not because of the weapon system or anything like that and they already proved you could make a zero on reboot a few weeks back but they quickly removed it. So here is the link on their website if anyone is interested that shows it. http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/51888/complete-unscheduled-reboot-maintenance-july-24-2019

Now the reason why Zero as a whole works as an incentive to force players to use the regular server because if you want to play as every class and in the hopes that luring you on the regular server they hope you'll make a new character just to able to play as a zero and that you'll be temped to customize that character so that leads to an attachment to that character which then leads to be temped to keep that character and maybe then you'll try another on that same server because well I already have one character that looks cool plus I can make a zero on this server.

This is now where they have you in a trap because now you have characters on both reboot and a special limited character that is only playable on the standard server and you know that they hope that you will play and fund them both and the convenient ways of squeezing that little extra cash out of your wallet for that extra boost of power that can't be found on reboot but is on the regular servers is alluring enough to keep most coming and going.

I leave you with a quote from a certain guy says right before he gets killed by a raptor in Jurassic Park "Clever Girl".

SwordStaker really hit the nail on the head on what is going on with their first post and with any luck they will take it to heart and learn from it.

I think what might work even though it would not be a popular fix would be to have a cool down on everything that allows you move areas or even enter cash shop. Like if you wanted to enter cash shop it would take 5 seconds to enter after the button was pressed or to change channels there would be a 10-15 wait time after you selected the channel you wanted to go in. changing areas would be a 5 second cool down to switch over and instant teleports like rocks and maple guide teleports would have a 10 second cool down. Also lastly quitting the game or changing characters would have 30 second wait time, so if you tried doing any of those buttons or force dc yourself your character would sit in place for 30 seconds before logging out.

These changes would be annoying for the player base and I figure hacker could troll by force disconnecting someone or if the power went out. But it could make catching hackers easier because they couldn't just flee as easy. Other wise the best solution for keeping hackers off the game is to have like 10-20 gm per server around the clock but that could be costly to maintain but would be the best option in my opinion.

Technically, they already did make a lame version of it through the Gollux version of Crimsonheart. I remember doing it with a few buddies to experience what it was like and it was as SOULLESS as you can imagine. No one lining up to do it, barely any information about it because it's as nothing as you can get

I always thought that quest was a pre-quest to be able to enter Gollux, but yeah it was just a bad as you mentioned it was. And now from looking back at old videos of the previous Crimsonwood Keep party quest which seemed to have so much thought and effort put into it, It is a sad shame to bury and remove such a quest from the public eye.

All they would have to do to bring it up to par is just allow any of job classes from any class as long as they are in the basic branch group to trigger in opening the job portals such as Kaiser being in the warrior branch being able to help with opening the warrior portal or Angelic Buster being able to help with the pirate portal stuff like that.

If they had a complaint about drops just keep it the same and allow the player to upgrade item in question by trading the item in for an improved version like lord pirate hat drop if they wanted to. and if they want to be creative maybe add a damage skin as a prize as well.

Figures Black Mage would want something like that. The sun is like "Yay the world is pitch black and peoples eyes are burned out of their sockets, Hooray for the darkness!" XD
