People who've been here from the start quitting?

Ikr, i have been playing for 3months now and i have seen si many people quitting, it is really sad. The first player i have ever met ( Steelpanther) stopped playing and so many others did to.


If you are one of those players, we miss you. please come back

 

I didn`t quit, just taking a break due to terraria getting a new update
^also other reasons but stuffs, def not quitting any time soon

// heard that there where rumors about me quitting so figured i should write here

 

Training 24/7 eventually gets old I guess

 

It's a fault of the version, not the server. Believe me, this is one of the most well-coded and professional servers I have ever come across in close to a decade of Maple-ing (close to exclusively at this version). It just begs the question, at what point does GMS-like become a curse? Servers with too much custom content usually fail miserably, but at v.62 something steered towards end-game players must be done.

 

But i am your friend :3

 

I didn't quit

Edit:Anyway, there are about 172 players online now.
200-300 active players is definitely enough.

 

I have been here from the first day of the official opening and I haven't quit. I'm taking the leveling slowly and make sure I enjoy myself

 

I think there are a few things they should start looking at.

Maybe they should open up party quest for all levels. Only have a minimum level requirement.
This is my personal experience but for example in the guild I am in Horizon there is a huge gap between people there levels. some are high in 4th job some just achieved second job.
I feel if PQ would be open to all levels you could actually do things together other then trying to leech members or give them items. Maybe there should be some sort of punishment if you take a person with you higher then the (lets give it a name for now) ''Recommended'' levels ether via an exp punishment or reward punishment.
I am aware that this might lead to other issues like boosting maybe or making it still kinda bad to do with higher levels but at least you can revisit the content and do not have to make a new character to do it.

An other thing (I don't know if it was in this version of the game) I have noticed is that we do not have Dragon Rider PQ?
This PQ was loads of fun to do. I used to do it with a few friends on almost a daily bases. The rewards were great, you would get a box that gave you some pots or equips for your class and if you were lucky you could get a dragon weapon (very small chance. Maybe 1 / 100). The bosses had fun mechanics like DMG reflect on the dragon and a laser on the last boss that would 1hit people if you did not duck under it in time. It was a pretty challenging PQ to do although if you do it enough times eventually it will get easy ofc. Ether way if we would have this there would be more to do after people hit 4th job although I get it that having access to lv 110 items might be a bit of a big jump for this server maybe it is something worth considering.


To get to the point of your topic.

I think most people came back to this server and remembered pre big bang as a great thing even though there was plenty of wrong with it (which a lot of things are already better on this server then they were back then). With all the knowledge that we have now compared to 8-6 years ago is a huge difference and there for it might also be easier to achieve your goals now. Maplestory will always be a dull grinding game for levels and power. I feel like most people think that once you are 4th job it will be a lot better until they realize how big the exp curve is getting and keep in mind that to max a skill in 4th job you need 10 levels. My point is it will take a long time before you actually have your core skills in 4th job to play the class that you remember (speaking as if you already had your class back then).

IMO the server is doing fine. People quit people join or take a break and come back later. This happens, in the end it is a grind fest of a game and it will stay like that. Lets wait and see what the future will bring in later updates to come!

 

It will keep so.
Because u cant make server dat harder then GMS it self back then in 62
And except people to like it for the long run.

 

It's expected tbh. It's the closest to GMS-like version out there, besides the quantity of people. It was pretty boring back then as well. I only had fun back then because there were so many people. You could find PQ's at any point in the day for gms.

 

Hey im still here! BTW Valhalla is dying :/

 

Im here since day one o.o, im still here because I want to go really far with my fav job that got messed up after big bang, but what really keeps me are the ppl I met like in old ms

 

cwkpq pls

 

People saying im lazy while this is the reason exactly ^

Spoiler

maybe sometimes lazyness, but who cares

 

nattehond u sexy beast

 

Terraria is life.

Also, I'm kind-of here. Just.. not playing really. GMing because creep on all the players.

 

That's what I do too. I will burn myself out if I grind too hard (based on big bang experience).

But v62 really lacks end game content, which Neckson was slow to fill in. In MSEA the top player reached 200 grinding at squids before 4th job came out. More PQs would be interesting (R&J, DRPQ, Rex, Escape etc.). Maybe even theme dungeons like Mush Kingdom. These don't even have to be permanently added and can be used as seasonal events for fun.

 

v62's endgame is nonexistant. also, no one really really wants to grind to 4th job at 2x rates with ~160 players online weekdays, 190+ weekends

that's a funny way to spell ff14
