ExiaMS "Revamp"

Currently, the staff has been thinking about totally changing the server. We want to make the server...more "challenging"? and GMS like, but also fun at the same time. But to make this huge change/revamp there will have to be a server wipe due to the major changes in how the server runs. I just wanted to get some feedback from the community before we actually start working on this. Not sure if I'm supposed to post the actual ideas we have for this "revamp", so I'll just leave it to Jasper and Dom if they want to post it or not.

Future Plan for ExiaMS
These idea's are not final! This is only a rough layout of what might be changed.

Advertisement

•Give in-game rewards to players who vote. Something small, like special nx or something.
•Possible to code a Vote-Point system on the forums/site? Or use SS as proof for rewards?
•Fix up the site to make it more vibrant and "obnoxious" to attract the players and make the server look like an official Maplestory server.

In Game changes:

•NX - Will be more rare, not something everyone can get all the time. Can be gotten through events, donating or voting.
•Rare Items - Such as facestompers, scg, only obtained through claw machine or VERY rarely dropped by a difficult pq with a very hard, max hp monster at the end.
•More Custom party quests - I know that's in the making. Make sure the good prizes are rare or take a while to get!
•GM event - Less events, maybe once a day, gives people less chance to get rare items and just increases the rarity of items such as facestompers, and makes the game more of a challenge. NX slime event once a day or so, so people have to work, and cooperate to get their "look"
•Gachapon - Make tickets even more rare so that rare items like chaos scrolls, PACs and white scrolls are harder to come by.
•Get rid of Spinel completely – Go back to GMS like Transportation

Donators

•Get a special map that spawns 1 nx slime every 72 hours per donator. Make a 14-day ban to anyone who kills more than than their nx slime, ss provided and sent to a GM, also that person who lost their nx slime will get theirs spawned for them again.
•This "donator map" will also have a hair, face and skin changing npc.

These ideas can be changed at anytime.

I don't really care but I'm just wondering what the community will do, some people might leave, some people might b!&(* at it, etc.

I don't want arguements happening. Just do what's best for the server.

I think there should be a revamp, but at least keep all the lvl 200 threads. Proves people have the determination to reach lvl 200.

No one will be taken out of the hall of fame, it will be labeled as 1st Gen ExiaMS players. If this does happen, it wont happen for a long time cause we're testing everything and making sure everything is coded before it's released. Although donors and future VIPs may get access to the test server.

I find it hard to vote either way not knowing exactly what sort of changes a revamp would include.

I...would really want to know what sort of changes would happen first before I agree to have to give up everything I currently have. I haven't been grinding so much as I have obtaining better equips, so to have that work taken away would...kinda suck.

Having said that, I actually wouldn't mind a full wipe, since in the current state I am having trouble finding parties for all these PQ's, and perhaps with a reset there would be more demand for new high levels as opposed to bosses and PQ's being done just by as guild runs and not inviting level 200 Bishops or 170 Paladins that aren't fond of the general flow of the guild's chat.

I changed my mind after looking at the future plans D:
I myself cannot live without a warping NPC.

I still stick with my opinion on revamp, based on what Dylan explained in vent.

Maybe a choice to go on the boat, or to just be warped, for that book quest and crogs, or just getting to places.

There will be an alternative to the boats. If you don't want to use the boat, the npc will just warp you to your destination.

Considering the details of the revamp are still a rough sketch so to say. I will hold off my vote until more is revealed.

Eh, I don't mind having to walk to a teleport guy or three instead of just using the Trade button to get to the warper.

If Gachapon Tickets are more rare, how about removing some of the useless junk? If about half of the current tickets used are wasted on a Gachapon because they spit out absolutely pointless things like level 10 weapons, remove those and cut the Ticket drop rate by 70%. It'll still balance more towards items being harder to get, but there will be less frustration at farming for 30 minutes for 5 tickets and not even getting one item of value. Same with the Claw Machine, which has become so horribly outdated with the average stuff that is now obtainable by PQ, in addition to the stuff that was always useless. I end up clicking for an hour trying to weed out the +5 Jump face accessories and Cosmic Scepters so that the one coke I get this week isn't wasted on something pointless and untradeable.

Also, making a very hard monster drop useful things at a very low rate is going to suck, because if it takes 6 people to kill it and it drops only 1 item every few runs, there's going to be drama about who gets to keep what and most likely the PQ won't be done at all. I doubt it will be like GMS Zakum where players have enough organization and planning to have 30 people do runs and use a points system for Zakum Helms so eventually all 30 players get one, plus phasing in new unhelmed characters, because we don't have the population for it now, much less if half the server quits because of the wipe.
