POLL: Would you play a GROUP IRONMAN in ML???

​

Hey guys,

Turns out, MapleLegends is still the best maple server around. Which is a shame, because the server in its current state is plagued by an incredibly stale and tiresome metagame fueled primarily by sunk-cost fallacy.

But what if I told you there was a way out? What if I told you that, while we wait for Kimmy to come out of her long slumber and finally launch MapleLegends 2, we can design and play our very own ML2?

Here's my idea for how I think we could make it happen: a group ironman.*

Rules and Restrictions​

1. Everyone who plays creates a new account and new character(s).

2. Any form of trading with players outside of the group ironman is FORBIDDEN. This includes trades, FM stalls, picking up drops, anything that would give you items/mesos that were not generated within our closed ecosystem is FORBIDDEN. We would pretty much be operating on the honor system, but since we're here to have fun (...right?), I don't think it would be much of an issue - look at osscocks.

3. Partying with players outside of the group ironman is forbidden.

4. Multiclient is either forbidden or discouraged, with some possible exceptions. This one is up in the air, but personally I think the game is a lot more fun when it's clear that everyone is an individual actor. Plus, many of the "issues" with the current game can be traced back to multiclient.

Goals / Focus​

1. Experience MapleLegends as if it were the first time any group of people played the game. Work together as a group to progress and overcome challenges.

2. Develop a community of players who genuinely enjoy the game. Help each other level up, farm items, and become stronger. Get to know new people and form new bonds.

3. Go at a chill and reasonable pace without the game being a giant stupid race to see who can dump the most hours.

4. Ideal player count: 12+ dedicated (pretty consistent?) players

5. Play MapleLegends the way Kimmy intended!!


* clarification: when I say 'ironman', i don't mean 'permadeath'


Please let me know what you think, your feedback, and IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PLAYING. If this captures enough interest, then I might create a serious thread.
