    Really?

    As a game servers developer (of other games) I can vouch that random notification systems can provide a lot of value... if used correctly. Unfortunately, In MapleLegends and many other MS servers, this system is not used to its full potential.

    Now I'm not saying MapleLegends MapleTips are all bad, some of them are actually really good! but many of them aren't.

    How about replacing the useless ones with valuable information?

    Examples:
    - A MapleTip that mentions you can find guides on the forums
    - A MapleTip that mentions that ranged classes are single targets while melee are multi-targeters
    - A MapleTip that tells you about APQ existence
    - A MapleTip that has the Discord invitation link in it
    - A MapleTip that warns you that MapleLegends has a very strong AntiCheat.

    (I'm sure some of these are actually existing already ^ but you get the point)

    I agree with almost all tips both you and LirboLirbo suggested, but I think those specially should be added as a warning in Maple Island. They should be like a quest that you must type those rules. Even it may seems idiot for old maple players, I'm sure many people don't know about it and end up comitting a perma bannable ofense without knowing. And you can say "yeah but they're on server rules", but I'm sure almost 0% of players read them all.

    I agree with #3 and #4, but the first two are problematic.

    #1 MapleLegends wouldn't like to portray muling as a standard because...
    - Heavy muling is not GMS-like and not a nostalgic thing
    - This is just WAY too sweaty for new players who just want to play the game.

    #2 MapleLegends tries to portray itself as a non-vote2win server, encouraging people to vote on multiple accounts will make them realize that voting actually benefits them... and that'll blow the non-vote2win bluff
    Though I got to say that ML is considerably less vote2win than other servers.

    I love the bait maple tips. Not against adding useful ones, but the meme ones must persist. At this point, they are part of our server identity.

    There's already a mapletip that says "Not all Mapletips are useful" which pretty much explains the rant of this thread. The mapletips are different here because I intentionally made them the way they are. A kind of flavour I would say. Most other servers have just the static Neckson ones which I got really tired of myself. It's very easy to add more of them though, so feel free to suggest stuff.

    The henehoe one is actually one of the less bad ones. I would expect you to quote the 'Not all mapletips are useful' one since that is the most useless one of them all, but true at the same time! Some people see henehoeing as an insult, which I personally disagree with, which is why that tip exists.

    In end, it seems people are quite entertained by them (in good and bad ways) because a lot of people talk about them in-game, which means the different flavour helps and contributes to the uniqueness of the server.

    I do agree about the flavour of the Mapletips. For example, I really enjoy the absolute meme status of "Being unlucky is not a bug". However, I will never forget the one time I have been wronged by one of them. I was but a sweet, young, and innocent lad, doing the speed quiz for one of the first times ever. Upon seeing one of the pictures, I confidently wrote down the answer "Horned Mushroom". However, Cassandra refused to give me a point for it, and I demand justice for my loss.

    About horny mushroom.

    So the story of that mapletip (its probably the second most infamous one) happened because we got quite daily @GM's of people asking 'My scroll failed for 6th time in row is my account bugged' and similar tickets. Thus, the story of that mapletip is an answer to all of those: No, it's not a bug; you are just unlucky.

    Since that mapletip the amount of those questions reduced to pretty much none. I assume by now someone would ask if its a bug, and someone would quote the infamous mapletip.
