Bonus EXP on Maps

Hey everybody! I just wanted to suggest an idea and Ill just get straight to the point. I think this is a concept from GMS, but im not quite sure. If a map is left untouched for more than 12 hours, the monsters in the untouched map should give 2.25 or however much modified exp for say.. 2 hours or so. These numbers are just placeholders, and can be modified to other desirable rates.

I know things have been implemented to make other training locations more valid such as increased spawn rate. However, I still feel as if the bulk of the players stick to the mainstream training spots, with good reason of course.

Now, before I get written off as one of those people who want extra exp, hear me out. Personally, maplestory is at its best when there is a sense of adventure. I feel that implementing this concept would encourage maplers to venture out to the dusty corners of the maple world in an effort to find spots that have monsters that give bonus exp. Mainly, this would make the server seem more bustling and at the same time, provide now viable alternate training spots when the mainstream spots are full.

Since the server population is still quite unable to fill up the four channels, we could have this concept only in channel 1.

"This would basically make the rates 2.25x exp."
Well, initially, that would be true. But because people would scavange these maps over time, it would no longer be "untouched" and would reset the exp back to its original rate. The term "untouched" means that a player had not entered it.

"This is just like having 2x exp cards. People will only play when there are 2.25x exp maps."
In a sense, it is true for some people. But the catch is, people will never know which map has 2.25x exp and which map doesnt. This would hypothetically encourage people to search for alternate maps, and would encourage adventure, thus serving its purpose.

Well that concludes my ramble. Any counterarguments are encouraged. That being said, thanks for reading!

 

Mmm.. I dont think you read it all the way through?

 

Well the thing is, skele will never have bonus exp. Like never. Theres just too much traffic in a popular map like that. And the reason why people dont go to ob5 is because skeles are a much better alternative as of now (due to annoying prequests). Its hard to assume what people will do and wont do though, thats just speculation. Perhaps if 2.25x exp was an option, it will motivate people to actually go to ToT and check instead of staying at skeles, because as you said, the reason why people dont go to oblivion is because the exp from skeles arent a far cry from oblivion.

And 2.25x exp isnt turned on immediately after restarts. The map would have to be untouched for 12 hours after the restart for 2.25x exp to be turned on, so the camping thing wont be an issue. People wont be able to use a "timer", like they do with bosses, because there is no standard "timer". If a map is entered at the 11th hour of the 12 hours, the timer resets and another 12 hours from that time would have to pass before 2.25x exp may be turned on

And I understand that the population is small. But its not as small as you think. It seems small primarily due to the fact that a lot of people are in fm just afking most of the times. But, thats just my observation.
