(My reply to http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php...&title=Neo Tokyo - MLC is pretty short by itself but starts all the way over in a different thread because the path is so long)
If GMS were to get something like REBOOT, this is how I would like to see it happen.
First I would trim everything out of Maple until it can run smoothly on a 10 year old pc.
Next I would adjust the world using the original design as a guide. (Mobs give unique exp, giant field maps and the highest levels are only reachable by very skilled players or those that have been playing for too long) It may not hurt to make the curve a bit less extreme.
After that I would go through each level range and ensure there are at least a couple of good training spots for EVERY class up to the max. (which might be 200, so that we can tell it apart from normal Maple at a glance)
I would add some manner of limited Free market. Possibly similar to the old MTS but loaded with extra restrictions to discourage abuse.
Since the mob scaling and difficulty would likely be comparable to Before big bang, there should be an important event within moderate reach. For example adjusting Black heaven to be a say, lvl 31 quest chain. Then "normal" people would have a good place to stop at or choose to keep going.
On the opposite extreme, the max level could go up to 250 if 5th job came out, unless it could be fit in before 200.
Once all of those things are taken care of then we can get to Neo Tokyo.
The story, most of the mobs toughness, most of the maps and other stuff should be close to their original forms.
Some of the functionality, some of the better ability to solo and good rewards to match the difficulty could come from out of Neo city.
In other words a fusion of Old Neo Tokyo + Neo city = Improved Neo Tokyo.
Reboot complete!
