Should Nexon add more Channels?

With the release of new class, i don't think new worlds are really the best "fix" for over populated worlds. Like during 2x i know Scania, Bera and Windia are ALWAYS full and they only have 19 channels while the 3 new worlds have the infamous channel 20. I think that the most populated worlds should get up to channel 30.

Thoughts? Opinions? Comments? Flamers?

its not the channels that are the problem. Yeah Scania, Bera, Broa etc should get 20 channels. Nexon just needs to even out the training areas, making the exp given by different mobs that people will train on insignificant.
Example. Lvl 70-80 training.... Jesters: 1325, Shrooms: 1320 Gallos: 1354 Obviously not those 2 monsters, but make the exp given at those lvl brackets close.

Im not very computer savvy but wouldnt more channels create more lag on the servers? If it doesn't then yes i would like more channels but it probably wouldnt make much of a difference in highly populated servers, unless a large number of channels are added. Personally i would prefer the option of allowing players to transfer accounts to different servers.

Nexon:

Great news everyone! We have decided to add more channels into the overpopulated words!

5k NX for a 24-hour pass into channels 20 to 40!
And only 9.5k NX for 2 of these passes!

/end

I expect it would be something like that.^

But aside from all the things Nexon would probably do, I agree.

[quote=Panicka]Instead of the mini dungeons, let's just take out the MMO part of mmorpg. Who needs any interaction with other players? We can just make everything completely single player and make the FM online.[/quote]

Think of mini-dungeons and bosses in all channels like Dojo. You can always go solo in any channel whenever you want, but you also can head to channel 1 (for bosses) and the other channels (training spots) looking for a party.

The point is, my suggestions were flawless, and everyone has their own opinions/preferences on how to play.

Yeah as someone said previously tho that the servers have gotten better, they can handle higher resoultion now i think they can handle an extra 11 channels. The dividing scania is a good idea. Or when they release a lot of new worlds i think everyone should get a free world transfer card that expires with-in the week (Kinda like SP reset scrolls) and you get one for each character.

[quote=ParrotParrot]Scania needs the total channel number to be reduced to 13. Dead worlds's channel number should be around 40.

Think of what woulc happen and remember it's for the good of both Scania and dead worlds.[/quote]

[b]Poor guy - Populated/Full world[/b]
[b]Rich guy - Dead world[/b]

I'm sorry poor people, we're increasing your taxes for your area! If you want to have less taxes, move to another place!
Congratulations rich people, you now have reduced taxes! Now you can just stay there and relax!

Bad analogies FTW

Here's a better suggestion:

- Make mini-dungeons for all of the good training spots.
- Make all bosses available in all channels just like Pap/GB, with 1 hour timer so soloers don't take forever.

This is probably the easiest and the most suitable solution for all of high population problems. Sadly, it will never happen.

While yes, more channels would add more lag, Nexon has updated the server quite a bit since the old channel 20 issue. But as a poster before me said, if they were to add more channels, Maplestory, a game which built up it's fame due to (for the most part) socializing would start to become very anti-social (it's bad enough this is already happening even without the addition of more channels). It's actually a pretty mind boggling question o.o

i think all the big channels like El Nido, Galicia, Scania, Bera, Broa, Windia Ect should have 25 channels while the smaller one should have 20

More Channels = More Lag
Channel 20 was removed to reduce server lag

Split Scania

What does that mean

Scania (A) has 20 channels and Scania (B) has another 20 channels.
Note : Players can move easily from A to B.
Note : This is a FREE service (No NX or Mesos)

This will solve the room hold up.
- Serious 1 hour and 30mins just to wait and Zak... (now we have 6 channels to go Zaking)
- HT will be easy to get together
- More easy to do PQs
More FM spots
- This way we have two FM entrance shops
- More HQ
More training spots
- Right now it feels like EVERY training map needs a minidungion.
- - - When entering mini dungion that is already in the game, they are not even identical to the map before it, making training style outside better.

[quote=BanditHelper]They've upgraded their servers at least 5 times since then, I think it should be able to handle it o_O[/quote]

Yet people continue to have massive lag spikes and d/c from it.

I'd say 25 channels for Scania would make a big difference.

edit: the new worlds have 20 channels and no lag to speak of.... major servers NEED more channels.

more channels, more lag. Since Nexon would have to support all of them, and look how they are.

I agree that there should be more channels
but not that they should only raise it to 30
I think there should be 5 worlds with 50-70 channels each

Lol 30 channels.
Scania would need 100 channels and there still would be ksing. People would be more bothered to train = more fighting for maps.
I still don't get why they removed ch 20 at the KFT patch =='
But yes more chs definitely =='
