Update New area: Shanghai Wai-Tan

Ducks and cows

 

Coool

 

OHYEAHHH I GUESSED CORRECTLY!

 

This is the bund in ShangHai. Never been there before, but I want to

 

Amazing! Really looking forward to explore Shanghai and hoping for Night Market to open up next
Thank you staff!

Edit: the spawn should definitely be heightened.

 

Seems cool, good job on the coding ^^

 

Why do you guys keep adding stuff which takes it further and further away from v62 GMS ._.

 

Because a server stuck with the same content forever would make it more boring and monotonous than maple already is

 

I'm not against new stuff, but bring new stuff which is more relevant for the higher level players. It's monotonous for us.

With the amount of stuff we already have, there's no way it can be monotonous for players under level 70ish~. There's plenty of variety for this demographic already.

I mean... ducks and goats and cows are great, but I prefer eating apples man :c


The majority of people who end up leaving the server because it gets boring etc. are, you guessed it, high(er) level players. The additions being made to the server are not catering to the demographic you are losing, and the additions certainly aren't anything which play a big role in attracting new players. Most maplers don't care about shanghai. If I was brand new to the server, knowing that the server has content like apples is way more enticing than knowing I can access an area from MapleSea.

Progress and growth for the server happens when you address the right issues.

 

Big fan of adding new maps and quests in general, don't even mind doing lvl 20 quests on a lvl 8x char, simply because it's content.

Also new maps from after v62 are perfectly fine imo and even custom quests / maps / content should be considered sometime in the future. The game can be nostalgic and still be improved on because as a matter of fact, Maple gets really tedious from 80 upwards.

Edit: But please up the spawn rates on Shanghai, it's horrendous atm

 

you actually completely missed his point, he just wanted more high-lvl content rather than low-lvl content that users will visit once and never again

 

I love this decision that u guys made, i was away from maplelegends for a good while because of school, now i cant wait to be back in this great server. Keep up the good work!

 

It's good to hear that you guys are working on higher level content. It gives me hope that one day, some day, we will get it.

It's just that looking at the past couple of months of updates and maintenances, your general update trend is all aimed at lower level content, even though there is plenty of it already. If that's an indication, and you say you're working to bring both higher level content but also content from other Maple worlds, chances are we're going to end up seeing more of this "other" lower level content a lot more than seeing what we would rather see, which seems to be on the back burner (not that I actually know what you guys work on, rather that's just how it seems to us players).

I agree with the understanding that all progress is better than no progress, but in my opinion, real growth is achieved by successful implementation of what is highly desired rather than least desired by your player base.

As someone mentioned above, all your hard work and effort (which I know there is a lot of!) into bringing content which people use/visit once and then forget about is simply, for lack of other terms, a low return on investment since it might likely be unfairly underappreciated.

But nevertheless, for now I along with many others will continue to hold out in hopes that the game does get better for higher level players.
