Hi everyone,
I'm Katy, I'm very excited to join this server. It's been pretty fun so far and I definitely see a lot of potential.
Here's a way we can grow the server population: increase the EXP rate a bit. If you look at the GTop100 rankings of Maplestory private servers, you can see that there are no mid-rate exp servers. I am talking about an EXP rate between 50X - 100X.
Historically, there has been considerable demand for mid-rate servers. Since there are no servers now with that rate, we could meet that demand by increasing our EXP rate. I have personally talked to dozens of people looking for a server between 50X - 100X exp and would love to join a server with that rate.
Now you could argue that 16X is a better rate, but even if it is, let's face reality: this server won't grow if it's 16X. We are competing with bigger servers such as DestinyMS, a server with a well-established brand that has been around for years and also has 16X exp. Why would anyone play this server if they could play DestinyMS? They have a much bigger staff, more features, and more players. Nobody would pick this server based on its merits alone. We could really differentiate this server by increasing the EXP rate to somewhere between 50X - 100X.
If we want more players, we really ought to increase the EXP rate. It makes too much sense not to do it. I have played servers with 100X exp before and that has been the perfect balance of making the game still feel gMS-like but at the same time cutting down on the mind-numbing amounts of grinding. I have many friends who can testify that 100X is the perfect rate too. Let me know your thoughts! I'd love to be able to help the server out in any way I can.
