Could this improve MapleStory?
I've been bored of MS lately, so I looked through the suggestions subforum on the official MS forums.
[url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/community#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1317750-MapleStory-Project-Reborn%26nxid%3D6]I found this thread, which seemed pretty amazing.[/url]
Could this idea improve MapleStory? The responses seem to be greatly in favor of it- even @Artasi said they were good ideas.

MapleStory needs a miracle ,especially GMS , it's on life support... >.< </3 o.o
wouldnt improve the game at all..
- nobody even PQ's anymore (except for dragonair pq to get the cards to complete the leafre set)
- nobody uses the ship for transportation their either using the event hyper rock or pantheon portal to get to places
- many aspects to the idea would be abused horribly
- there is already buffed maps, its called starforce areas.. and what they need to do is add more of those starforce areas to higher level maps that people rarely use to minimize overcrowding at stronghold
- the games idea is already apart of star world i believe
- the idea of populating the servers is a decent idea because it makes the game more crowded, i miss seeing a bunch of people on maps training and in towns hanging out, i miss the killsteal wars, the megaphone chatter, populating the servers would make it more like the maple it used to be
i actually love this idea. Nexon Needs to see this
The problems with servers merges are
-The server stability is already bad and this would just make things worse
-Things would be so cramped
where is the room for players looking for their own sdh map with their own party? Having 20 channels with possibly 50k people? That wouldn't work out.
And addressing this thread's idea on improved server stability and more channels, you'd need maybe 50+ channels (I'm still learning about networking and virtualiziation so I'm still not entirely sure on this) for it not to be too cramped in the server, also having that little amount of servers makes it an easier target to ddos, unless you have a way to combat that too but seeing how it's handled it most likely isn't.
-Duping and botting
We already have an absurd amount of this, this would only increase things and put them to a larger scale, making it harder to find a source and more wide scale while being concentrated.
The botting would grow to rediculous sizes because we already have so many botters running in channels of leafre edelstein and so on just farming elite mobs and bosses looting valuables that people need to scroll their weapons.
There are probably more but my attention span is horribly lacking and I can't concentrate long enough to make a proper list.
Merge servers. I always see the same people over and over even in Bera.
Also I would love a boss that is really OP, like 1/1 or %hp atk and insta stun or whatever, massive HP, summons etc etc. Just so that you cant bring it down solo. Put a timer on it as well, add on rage mode when its past 50% hp. You needed 6 parties to bring down zak before, now you can bring it down with 1 skill in 2 secs, theres no fun in that.
No server merges till more training area
I remember a similar thread a while back. Again, 8 minute travel time for a boat (I mean 30+ min because of constant d/cs in boats), nty.
a world merge would in fact make maplestory fun again.
Sounds fun if doing dozens of each party quest wasn't etched in memory
To everyone who always wants to merge servers:
Where do you expect us to train? Very few people are funded enough to hold a map in SDH if someone else tries to take it. Hell some of my friends can OHKO the maps and can't hold the maps easily because other people are too stubborn (or too dimwitted) to leave. Merging all servers would make it a nightmare to train any character past lvl 200 because you would never get a map again. And with some bosses still not instanced fights (and with Madman ranmaru only being on 3 channels on top of that) it would also make it a nightmare to boss.
Until all bosses are instanced and we have at least 1 additional, viable, training place, merging all the servers is a bad idea.
[quote=GakiNoTsukai]Yes and No.
Yes - People will start partying again and play together, improve the community etc...
No - There's no money making schemes for Nexon. The server instability and DDoS attacks are already bad as it is now, without any income off the game you're basically just looking to kill the game off.[/quote]
People can still party and play together; they choose not to because the communal aspect of the game is dead, not the game itself.
OT: I looked at it, but I knew it was ridiculous because combining all servers is just a completely wrong answer.
we're at the point where nexon might aswell just merge all of the servers together. having a group of gm's in one large server would do much better than having gm's spread out across however many servers there are now

Great idea! I hope it comes to maplestory <3
Yes it will.
