Why the hell does maplestory have so many servers?

It's not like the population in any of these servers was too heavy to handle. But they just kept adding more and more. Now we have like 20 servers with like 100 people in 18 of them. Might as well merge them all and just have Scania, Bera, Khaini, Windia, and Broa.

That's still more people than what Nexon cares about.

@doutei: it would be the same number of servers handling the same number of people

physical servers, not virtual ones

As much as I would hate my bossing profits to die out, this would probably be a good thing for the game as a whole. Cheaper boss drops makes it easier for new/unfunded players to get equips, which would actually make the game a lot easier for a large portion of the population. I'm sure most of the people that can do these bosses would agree that its worth having their profits cut if it contributes to the game not dying out.

Also even if the servers were to merge, wouldn't there be more demand to counter the combined supply? Am I missing something here?

The game has died since all the servers came out. It's dying even faster because they won't merge.

Nexon created the servers when the game was more popular. There were literally a lot of people on those servers before. Nexon used to have commercials like the ribbon pig or snail one and so people went to play. However ABC7 if I recall did a news story of how MS tempted kids to steal their parents credit cards just to change NX and this kinda tarnished their rep. Nexon then made the game more p2win especially with the potential, enhancemt, and other systems. I remember back in 2006-2009 when it wasn't. Then they added the MTS which made people quit more since it was more pay2win and etc.

@wasp3 @DoctorSilent there was never that many people that played, and all these added servers just spread out the main servers population
