    Hey guys. I am an returning player who was expecting to log on to a Halloween event. I always found it easier to enjoy the game with the extra population when there is something going on. The extra exp and new content can be quite nice

    Is there still a good amount of event content every year? I was told by my guild mates that events are usually either combined, posted late, or skipped entirely nowadays. The best part of maplestory for me growing up was to enjoy the event the game had to offer on the day or days leading up to the holiday. I can’t be the only one who went to take screenshots on the Christmas tree on Christmas, and not the days or weeks afterwards.

    Anyone know what’s going on? Ch 1 fm looks like ch 7 :// I know the events can help bring back a lot of players

    Don’t you think this is a problem? Unless you are being satirical and actually agreeing with the problems that I have pointed out..

    I wouldn’t even mind if they recycled old events with minor tweaks if this is just a problem with understaffing.

    I’m mostly referring to getting a Halloween themed event in the middle of December, if what that guy said above is true.

    Do people generally not have a problem with this discrepancy? Getting a holiday themed event more than a month after it has already passed?

    I just think it's goofy idk. Staff already works hard enough. the events being behind schedule is unfortunate, but everything that can be done is being done. No sense in getting worked up about it. We crack jokes about it because we want the events to come out on time, but getting upset over it is just silly. Personally I'm thankful staff works as hard as they do and I couldn't possibly ask more of them.

    Well, it usually gets combined, like last year there was a "spooky christmas". Initially a lot of people in the community were frustrated with the late events, but the events have been late/combined/skipped for a long time now and we have mostly just accepted that this is the way it is going to be.

    As Kimmy mentioned in our latest Discord announcement, we're working on a Halloween event this year, which is not gonna be bundled with Christmas.
    Slightly later than actual Halloween, yes, but it's coming.

    You just gotta remember how much staff we have who work on this game, for free, on their free time.

    It's fantastic when stuff comes out as expected, but we always need to understand why things don't work out exactly as we had it on the official servers over a decade ago. This kind of stuff just can't happen with the amount of resources they have, and we need to be okay with the pace they take, regardless how excited we are for the future.

    I dont wanna be rude, but the events here is the better ones, almost every patch bring alot of game change, nerf, buff, balances, etc.. so, dont worry if it take a bit more time than usual

    we also currently only have 1 dev (the amazing, incredible PastaPasta) who is juggling balancing requests from balance team, event implementations, bug reports from users, not to mention gameplay QoL changes from the suggestion forums... And still also trying to add in the challenges system in the meantime!! This man carries the whole team on his back! And he still has a full time job as well outside of mushroom game development. But yes like he said... Halloween event soon TM

    This ain't a professional server with a professional team taking care of it.

    Would I like if events came out on time? Sure I'd love it, but I'm also aware we don't pay kimmy and the team anything. So I don't expect premium service. If it comes it comes. Its mushroom game, I'm sure I'll find something to do until kimmy and Co release whatever their planning to us.

    This particular part of your message somehow didn't get a lot of attention (despite the load of disagrees) so I wanted to mention it specifically.
    Staff has mentioned in the past that they could save time by copypasting/recycling old events, but I do believe the large majority of the server prefers original/new/creative/fresh events with a slight delay over having events timed properly but it just being a copypaste.

    How did you become a developer, what did you have to learn?
