Some guild related updates, please!

Can we get some guild-related updates?

I am not sure if the topics mentioned bellow have already been discussed, but since I dont see any movement around this, so i decided to write about it, thats just my opnion so feel free to discuss at the comments.

The game is already not easy, and the easiest way for a newcomer to gain interest and learn about the game is by joining a guild. I believe this is the best way to keep new players in the game. It naturally creates competitiveness between members, interest in grinding, and learning about the game in a fun way, but the game currently doesnt offer any content or support for such an important and essential feature. it is completely abandoned.

1) Rework the GPQ, please!
Starting with GPQ, I honestly dont know how people have the patience or even enjoy doing this PQ. Its extremely boring and confusing, the rewards are meh, and the only reason i see people doing it is to get cards.
For anyone not used to it, its extremely confusing, hard to explain, and most of the time i see one or two players doing all the work while the rest just stand there watching. Its simply not fun.
I also think it should be a content that the main focus shouldnt be the reward, but a big incentive to join and stay in a guild.

I would like to suggest a guild or alliance party quest, maybe something similar to Monster Carnival where 5 or 6 members from each guild face off against each other (maybe class locked slots, like CWKPQ to avoid NL+SE spam). Or maybe something like Mu Lung Dojo, or a PQ thats reasonably fun like LPQ or whatever, with usefull rewards, maybe Onyx Apples or the yello thing from CWKPQ? or some +HP/MP increase potions or something like that.

2) Honorable Rock leaderboard
Another incentive for doing GPQ could be placing the guild on a leaderboard. But right now, it’s an awfully boring grind, since the leaderboard hasn’t been updated in over 10 years, and half the guilds there aren’t even active anymore. The Honorable Rock should be a way to see the best guilds in the game, but right now it’s just a list of guilds where 2–3 people grinded GPQ endlessly.

not downplaying their effords, but such a poorly made piece of content like GPQ shouldnt be the reference point for judging guild rankings.
At the very least, a monthly or yearly reset of the list would be an “ok” solution. Or maybe completely change how this NPC works—for example, “newest guilds created” to help new guilds, or perhaps a guild finder/notice board where leaders and co-leaders can recruit new members. That way co-leaders would finally have more of a role than just being “someone who can send invites.”

3) Some kind of donation item for Leaders/Co-Leaders to gift members.
Not items that could be exploited for monetary benefit, but maybe gifting donation points or exclusive cash items.
It can be a very good incentive to do custom events and host things.

4) Rework the guild window
I know many of these changes are client-side and hard to implement, but having a way to see the last time a member logged in would be great, instead of just “????.”
The game definitely has this info in the server logs, and it would be nice to have a simple way to check it.
It would also be great to see when a member joined the guild too. Right now, you can only track this using bot programming outside the game, but it would be great to have this officially available, whether in-game or through an external tool.




Currently, alliances and guilds are just an extension of the buddy list. Its extremely poor and limited.

I would really love to see, instead of new events with extremely nerfed gachas, some future effort dedicated to reworking the guild system, actually thats my main sujestion, i would really love to see this happening one day.
Again, I know Im asking for a lot for such a small team of devs, but i really think its an essential system for a game as difficult and punishing as Maple.

I think in the current Maple they do have a guild points system that gives certain buffs to guild members, but besides being hard to implement, I dont think it would be a good solution, idk.

And please don’t just say, “Oh, but you can do all of this and organise things through Discord.” Not everyone uses Discord or checks it regularly. Having to learn the game through guides and rely on external tools just to play any game is really annoying, especially for people who just want to play casually without being at a disadvantage for that.
Many players come to MapleLegends for nostalgia, to play casually but then lose interest because of the game difficulty. I believe fixing this would help a lot in at least try keep this ppl motivated and playing.
