How can the drama/ego/affinity of each server be best described as? - IllegallySane - 2009-04-06
Inspiration for thread came from god's and loddlaen's post about Bera's <2 minute speed run:
god Wrote:congratulations, scania will soon beat it...eventually? doubt we could corporate with each other lol
loddlaen Wrote:^ Doubt it. Too much ego and drama in Scania to try and properly do this run.
I did a speed run pre-4th job and had one guild refuse to turn up cause we weren't taking buyers. Another guild refused to respond to anything whatsoever.
And the situation is worse now.
Never really thought about it, but how can the respective server you have spent time in can be described in terms of drama, cooperativeness, and/or ego? I want this to be a civil discussion without people flaming one another, so please leave out specific guild names and players.
As far as I know:
Scania = Egos are high up in the clouds due to population due to gross overpopulation, and drama can be easily portrayed by the number of SMEGAs everyday. Infamously known for e-thug guilds that would hog Zakum Altar/Horntail/FM 1.
Bellocan = Very modest due to overall laid-back nature, pretty civil, and drama is usually only aimed at hackers. Supposedly every high level knows each other
Supposed things about other servers (can be overgeneralizing, so correct me if needed):
Bera = Awesome co-op work, all high end guilds are friendly towards another
Mardia = massive 1st gen vs 2nd/3rd gen e-peen crap. Egos were held on whichever "x gen" accomplished a server first/record or not
Kradia = massive people2pass mentality, but competitiveness instead of hostility, meaning less clashing of inflated egos.
Yellonde = Power hungry, as portrayed during the mass exploiting of Bigfoot before it got patched. Caused server to fall apart because people massively exploited an unintended glitch that completely pineappleed up rankings.

Bellocan -
"uberlegits" from Scania (and a handful of natives) vs "nice but questionably legit" natives. Conflict manifests itself mostly in the HT groups, which I manage to avoid by not HT'ing (excepting an attempt with Al, where I fail-dc'd due to crappy Comcast dropping my connection).
Higher level population frequently know or know of each other, very common for 130+ friends to know other 130+ friends. Sort of a 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon type deal. I personally have friends mostly on the latter of the sides (I could care less what a person has done, I focus on someone's personality and character. Discrimination and hatred =/= good character).

I giggled.
Bera's really not so bad, though. I typically isolate myself from everything, so it's fabulous for me, but there's way too many elitists, dramaf'ags, hackers and plain ol' douchebags in Bera for it to be an ideal server. Regardless, I'd never play in another server. Bera since the beginning and for life.

Not last I checked. They may cooperate but they're not friendly. & it's nothing like "all" the top guilds, just enough that they can 30-man a boss.

I personally find Windia to have biggest egos, more so than Scania.

Broa - Server is empty (apparently) and hackers run wild. I personally find that you have prob a 60% chance of running into nice people vs running into a deuche (of which I've met many of them). Most of the 4th jobbers know eachother and its very common for someone to atleast know of anyone you reference (atleast in my circles).
Just to put it in perspective, I rank in the 10K of the server on my priest and hes only lvl 85.

Scania = Veng/Excellent
How can the drama/ego/affinity of each server be best described as? - Kabanaw - 2009-04-06
Scania is full of the "mainstream" maplers- The ones that cover themselves in NX and do nothing but leave a message asking for fame in Henesys.
These are also the people that do nothing but smega "lol Ben(xxBleachFanxx) has a small penor
"Then there's the high level guilds. These guilds think they're better than everyone else and get everything for themselves because of it. I've been KSed off my map twice by Excellent because there was a 2X event and they didn't have a map.
But I think besides those jackass guilds, Scania has a nice community if you ignore the nubs.

I really don't know how you guys in crowded servers can stand it. Some days every single channel in Scania will be clear full, and Mardia is lucky to be at half level. Do you guys ever get to see a Pianus? Or a Headless Horseman? How about a a Jr. Balrog?
Mardia is a server that doesn't fill up CH1 FM1 with shops. Other than the main training maps (newts come to mind) you can usually find an empty map (or 13). Yes we only get 13 channels. !!! !!! FIX IT NEXON GIVE US BACK OUR CHANNELS !!! !!!
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.

HH isnt too bad since the release of cwk but prior to that I had seen 1 in ~9 months of playing. Pianus is pretty dam hard to find and when you do you most likely won't be alone.(hackers or ksers) Jr rog isnt too bad, you can find them after the sever checks, unlike say mm or other area bosses who are rushed to after the s/c ends.

It is very normal for scania to have every room in ch1 with shops, and all the fm1 rooms of channels 2-19 with shops as well. The lower rooms, fm 2-4 for example also get some use shop wise for ch 2 and 3. Can't say much about the economy, but ilbis are still like 9m i believe.

Broa - Not really much going on in Broa actually. I would actually say it's quite boring. There's the occasional hacker drama but that's about it, nothing really gets blown out of proportion nowadays. Economy is pretty much in the middle of Mardia and Scania (based on previous posts), whether or not that's good or bad is up to you. Majority of the community is alright, despite it's size.

Just to add to this... there easily was a time when "certain" players would use unfair advantages in their favor, and clean out every single Pianus, Bigfoot, Headless Horseman, Anego, and every other boss worth training on. Lately, these players have curbed their activities, so it has been easier to find these bosses, but you still get the occassional days where every channel is free of afformentioned bosses.
Ch 1 FM 1 in Mardia is always full of shops. Usually the random permit shopkeeps are just people holding a spot for their friend and his or her shop.
And the 1st gen vs. 2nd/3rd gen stuff really went away after Horntail was legitimately killed in Mardia (I believe our HT anniversary is sometime this month.) After this, most of the "e-peen" players either quit or signed on rarely, so with them went the egos.
Frankly, I don't know if you can accurately describe Mardia anymore, as it is (and always will be) in a state of flux. The hacker problem is out of hand, though.

I dunno about Scania, but Bera is nearly as crowded and I hunted 16 HHs in 45 minutes the other day, and there's usually a handful of Jr Rogs and Pianuses to hunt.

In the old days everything that happened in Broa would become something epic and then divided into the different eras of maplestory.
Old broa: Drama was not taken seriously, whatsoever. Pretty laid back server, with funnily sarcastic vibe.
What Ive seen from Windia: Drama is serious business and its VERY hard to find people with the "vibe" that broans have/had.
What Ive seen from eMS Kradia, a while back: Klose knit community, theres still a "it"-crowd, while people are racing the ranks. Dont know about the dramas or hackers.

See, she's an old broan, the old Broa was awesome, everyone was nice. Everyone was sarcastic, it was great. I enjoyed being a Broan, but then it became the headquarters of all hackers and GMs didn't do anything about it.
But as of now, I have no opinion of Broa because I haven't logged on in forever...

Regarding Scania + bossing, I search for HHs, I find about 5+ a day if I 'try'. I don't Pianus, but I Crog and etc a lot.
