Torn between Legends and Royals

Just to give some perspective on the progress side of things, if you grind where quests can be completed then you'll level to 70 pretty quickly. The other reason, in my opinion, that Legends is better than Royals is that with the slower progression you can actually enjoy the earlier game content like KPQ, LPQ, LMPQ, and OPQ. I played Royals and I bypassed those features so quickly as I leveled and I hardly remember anyone willing to do those PQs because they ran into the same situation.

But it is all about preferences. If you want to really speed through the game, you can always join one of the very OP experience booster private servers. Royals caters well to people who just want to get directly to the endgame portion. Legends allows you to enjoy all aspects, even if you have to put in a lot of effort to unlock the endgame content - which is what games like this should be about.

 

I picked Legends over Royals mainly because Legends is more polished. Most things work the way as expected. Myself would probably prefer the higher exp rate and drop rate, but that also take away the satisfactory of reaching high level, which is something I could truly experience in Legends.

 

This x10000. My favorite part of maple are the party quests such as lmpq, kpq, lpq, etc... I legitimately enjoyed the time spent doing those and meeting new people. In Royals you breeze through those and go straight to end game which imo isnt as fun. Just a heads up, it might be a little dead now (after valentines event) because not many ppl are online (school and stuff). During summer its best. Also Royals you dc a lot more often

 

Don't play Royals. The economy is atrocious, AP resets are tradable, all the equips are on steroids, tons of unregulated RWT goes on, people sell mesos, WS/CS, perfect equips, etc. like it's nothing. Check out some popular hacking websites if you want proof. 99/100 times RWT gets caught on this server and they get banned. Also multi-voting and collecting AP resets is out of control. That is reason enough (for me at least) to not even download it. If none of that bothers you, then go for it.

As for progression on this server, right now there's a 10% bonus exp event you can take advantage of. There's also 3x quest exp so you can look-up which quests give the most exp that are worth the time to do and level really quick. There's also a lot of PQs and buffed training maps.

 

legends is best

 

Don't worry about progress. Time flies when you enjoy your time here. This is the best online community I've ever been apart of. Just look at deribou, who wouldn't love this guy??

 

I joined this server as a recommendation from my brother and didn't really research much about other servers that emulate the old MS, but after reading these comments I am so thankful to have found this server and this community.
