    Hello all,

    With the server uptime hitting 17 days without a restart, some may be getting concerned with the lack of updates going on.

    First of all, I want to say that this might be one of the biggest updates in a very long time. Not because of the content by itself, but more so because we are doing a lot of things at the very same time. Kinda similar as updates back in 2015 like this as well as this.

    We are re-factoring (basically meaning re-coding/polishing) a lot of important code, and this requires insane amount of time, as well as general testing. Marriage is getting completely recoded and 100% authentic, and so on.

    A lot of things we've started on are currently in our 'Tespia' testing phase, which means its getting close to being finished. On top of all that, we are also still working on the Summer Event. The Summer Event is also at testing phase right now, so hopefully we'll be able to launch it sooner than later.

    Furthermore, we are still internally discussing some decisions based on feedback for the server, and we'll hopefully come with a conclusion regarding that too soon enough, after we've tackled some balancing concerns we still have to change or fix.

    The biggest map-fix patch for higher resolution yet

    This is more a project with me and my lovely designers, which is that we've fixed a lot, and a lot of maps for higher resolution, making MapleLegends feel soon (if it wasn't yet) the most polished pre-big bang server to play in true 1366x768 resolution.

    Our goal is to slowly but surely fix every map so that they are compatible with the higher resolutions without looking 'weird'. A very long project, but definitely one that is worth it.

    This will have the most maps fixed in one patch yet. Every single quest map has been tackled, and now looks completely compatible with 1366x768 resolution.

    Better than official servers in our opinions. The official servers took a very sloppy approach when it comes to 'improving' maps for higher resolution, so we want to do it better.

    An example is the ToT maps we've been working on right now.

    Official servers: https://i.imgur.com/uziLdCc.png
    ML (WIP): https://i.imgur.com/r3ApCe8.png

    There's many more similar like that, such as Ludibrium. Ludibrium has very terrifying black bars around the areas that are increased by the higher resolution in the official servers. Not here!

    Here's one more example of a map that will look beautifully on our next patch.

    Demonstration: https://i.imgur.com/YKi26nl.png

    So if there was any thought development may be idle due to lack of updates, or something similar to that: NO. We are all working very hard, each with our own project, and we can't wait providing the next update to you guys. We thank you very much for the patience.

    With much love,

    ~MapleLegends Staff & Administration

    This is looking so good! Can't wait for it to go live!
    Thank you for doing this great work for us.

    I just wanna ask, I don't know why but it feels like in your pictures you get way more screen space than in my screen, almost as if you're running on 1920x1080
    I already added the custom resolution of 1366x768 using CRU and get a very nice screen space but yeah yours looks almost 1.5x to me is it possible?

    Very nice to see the work of yours on the server, really nice to see the compromise to improve the game for us all. I'd like to say that i just started to play the game and there's an error about resolution that bother's me: I use a resolution of 1920x1200 (it's the right one for my monitor) and all the times i wanna play the game i gotta downgrade it to 1920x1080 before i open the game. If i do not do this, i get the error "Failed in finding proper screen mode for Gr2D". After i open the game on x1080, i can then return the monitor to x1200, without any problem. It looks like something simple to resolve, i don't know... I almost didn't play the game if it wasn't a friend of mine telling me this trick to resolve it.
