Mini Dungeons effectively solve this.
We have the same problem in Scania because we have so many more people. Can you find a Newties map at 9 AM EST on a sunday? Becuase I can't.

Everyone will think that their server is full of drama, because they see the drama and they remember it, whereas when they don't see the drama, they don't remember anything.
I sort of live in my own bubble and try to be friendly to anyone, though, so I haven't had any problems in my own server (Bera). On the other hand, I'm not really "part of" the high level community (not that I'm too high levelled myself, though - meh), but I think it's worth it to keep the game fun for me to play instead of dealing with aggressive relationships.

Some people say that Mardia economy is worst in Maple Story, but I don't have any other reference to go off of. I do know that Haxxors have "changed" the economy. Ilbis are 4.9 mil now and Horn Tail drops are cheap.
We also need some more pirates. Please come to Mardia and make a pirate.
Well, I'd say Demethos and Yellonde still have the worst economies. As for Mardia, we're actually quite nice and friendly. We just jave a big ruckus over those gosh darn hackers and botters. They tend to ruin our server. Then come the arbitrary over-inflated ego characters that are all asses to put it bluntly =X

Venison! Wrote:windia had massive "first gen" ego... i think it's mostly vanished, though. i'm sure some people still try to use it to their advantage. (worst part is when someone does that to me and i inform them my character was created the day windia was opened--oops.)
i dunno, windia is pretty boring. we've had our drama, but eh. higher levels are pretty closely connected from what i've seen--separation factor is less than six degrees. most people are friendly if you talk to them...though we don't have many of those rare gem sweet types, the ones that help out random nublets..
This pretty much works as my definition of Windia as well. Granted I don't go places to see much drama in the first place. I know it is more or less over here, but the whole Gen thing is kinda silly to begin with. (Started my character first day of Windia as well; maining it just 3 months later, but with my crap equips and slow leveling speed, it doesn't make me any better than the next guy).
Only thing I can remotely remember as for drama personally is in CWKPQ where people ask if you were the nub who made them fail the bowmen section last time only basing it on your class... but then, that's more or less just stupidity of individuals than drama.

I did! 'Tis why everyone made fun of me. It took me 2 years. Sadly I had to do the last 7 levels with a 2x card. My urge to reach 4th job to quit was too great. XD
Anyhow, on topic. I have to retake what others have said, Khaini's 'top' community is made out of a huge group of people and everyone knows each other, or at least made contact with them before, mainly since most of them have been playing ever since 2006-2007. Despite the size, it's impooooossible to join in unless you're a real good friend with one of the people already in, you train consistently AND your capable to boss (level wise).
Khaini's drama is a huge rollercoaster. At one point it's so bad the server is in chaos, then everyone gets along wonderfully and months go by with no drama or anything ('cept for a couple of known KSers) and then it's hardcore drama again. Talk about bipolar.

So, what exactly is the difference between 1st and 2nd (and so on) generation of Windians?

hmm, yello is sooo quiet.. I mean, even gm events are quiet. GM visits NLC, drops monsters, and you might see 3 smegas about it, tops. I mean, even teh hackers at HT arent even being smegad over. The economy is broken. If it can be hacked, its too cheap. If it takes effort, its too expensive. 10 mil apples, 6 mil ilbis, wat.
Bello, if i recall, was pretty good until guilds started getting elitist. After a while there was usually smega wars and ks wars between specific guilds on a daily basis..

Asking me really won't get you too far either since I was never considered part of either of them, despite my starting date. I'm reminded of the time I met with some people late in '06 at a wedding that I had not seen in a while and they told me, "lol, you're still 45?". So yeah, I never leveled fast enough to "qualify", same as Venison.
Anyway, from the vagueness that I heard from SMEGAs, it seemed to have something to do with HT and Zakum... Again, I did my best to stay away from it anyway, so I'm not certain. Seems that the primary guilds that were responsible for it have been reformed too many times to the point where it kind of just faded... like many other guilds I know (including my own).
I mean heck, it took me months to figure out what happened in my old alliance when I was one of the guild leaders and the one who made the name for the alliance in the first place, so I can't be quoted for info on 1st and 2nd gen really. Reminds me of that past drama though unrelated to those higher ups in 1st and 2nd gen.
[SPOILER=Bowmen Guild "FatalArrow"'s History]Here is an example of a smaller group of people who were moderately known for 3 years:
FatalArrow was a guild devoted to bowmen created back when guilds were first around. The leader wound up leaving for a very long break so one of his Jr.s decided to make the guild, "FataiArrow". This guild lasted a while and this was the point I had joined them for a break from my old guild (having known 2 of the jr.s for months. Time passed and I had to leave the guild in order to rebuild and take leadership of my former guild.) The Jr. who had helped rebuild FataiArrow became busy and handed the guild over to one of his Jr.s. In the meantime, a different Jr. became jealous of the new choice in leadership. After a while, I allied with them, and the old, original master came back and allied us too. More time passed, and the original master was unhappy with the activity of my guild and the other allied guild, along with the fact that FatalArrow not being PURE bowmen any longer. So, he and the formerly jealous jr made another alliance taking a few members with them from both FAs. Ultimately, the original leader got bored and sold his character (while still a guild leader), and the jealous person got hacked *supposedly* and deleted her character out of spite. Meanwhile, the jr. who had been entrusted to FataiArrow decided to make a pirate with her husband and just abandoned the guild. Many months later the original FatalArrow was deleted and someone who had spent a good amount of time in it reformed it, but it was never the same since only around 3 of the older members were there. Most had gotten sick of the drama and let the legacy die.
Anyway, that was an example of a guild being reformed too much to the point that it more or less dies, and from the rough understanding I have of those guilds, more or less the same thing happened there.
But again, I only know a few people from 1st and 2nd through other people and never got to know them myself, so I may completely off on how the drama more or less ended. It could just be the fact that hackers have taken over the bosses so there's no place to hold their drama anymore that explains why it stopped for all I know

Windia - When I immigrated to this server, the hate was intense on immigrants, especially coming from the 1st Gen people. After I left though, I think things kinda eased up. Too bad it happened after I was gone ):
Bera - Honestly it's pretty laid back despite the crowding but if you want to get in anywhere you'll need friends with connections on the higher-ups, although you could probably say that for any server.

we dont hate on all immigrants, just the ones that think they can come take over the server.

Lessee. I've had a main on two different servers.
Broa: Back when I played Broa, for most of my maple career, it was pretty nice. It was full of nice people, and great friends were fairly easy to find. Around when I quit Broa (Thought I was quitting for good) last June, it was full of hackers, smega spammers, scammers, inflated economy, lots of 4th job drama, etc. Most of the people that I knew from Broa quit soon after I did, or changed servers. There are only a few out of my BL that have stayed in Broa.
Khaini: I like Khaini, and I'm there now. I'm glad I made the switch from Broa to Khaini when pirates came out. People in Khaini are very nice, and it wasn't hard to make friends. Sure, Khaini has the occasional hacker, and some things in the FM are very overpriced, but I like it. It's good to find a lot of friends. D:

I hate seeing people hate on 1st Gen when they havent even met the good people in it lol. I've met some of the nicest and trustworthy people ever in this group, but people who don't know the group atmosphere and such just hate on it based on what people have said.
2nd gen is a joke.. does it even exist anymore?

Demethos: Relatively low drama. There's something going on about one of the highest level bishops hacking her husband after they broke up, and something else about Mishyboo/bear and Tommehbear.
Edit-And we only have 1 gen of Zakum runners

...With a few exceptions of raging douchebaggery and/or megaphone related obnoxiousness. i.e. CripGirl
Pretty much sums up Broa.
Things are pretty chill most of the times. Guilds are somewhat clique-y overall, but they do cooperate with each other for boss runs and whatnot. Most smegas nowadays are personal ones directed towards guild members/friends. Not a lot of public drama anymore.

For the most part I generally agree with what people have been saying about Khaini, however:
Quote:yeah, it's very clique-y. It's pretty much impossible for rising players to break into it.It's really not that bad. While it's clique-y, the cliques don't feel very closed. If you have something to contribute (knowledge, help, friendship, buffs), you can get along with most people quite easily. I don't think I've ever been turned down/ignored for anything in my time here, and despite the fact that I'm a strless marksman people don't regularly call me retarded/wrong or tell me to go make a bowmaster, etc. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe there's a certain way to interact with people of any server (or Khaini at least) that makes transitions into the high level community easy enough, given that one is of a somewhat high level.
BombsAway Wrote:Ironically, there are only like 10 of us 4th jobbers who got there without leechingI made it to 4th on my own, and I know plenty of people who did as well. It's pretty remarkable how a lot of my friends aren't leechers, and I really wasn't trying for that at all. I mean honestly I think I can count many many more people who made it to 4th job and didn't leech than people who made it to 4th job and did.
(for the record this is an exaggeration but seriously I can't think of many people who've made it to 4th job on khaini through their own hard work)
I'm even known for having a bit of an ego, but I don't get too much crap about it, except this one time on sleepywood...
