Dev Blog -- Make Room, Make Room!

Scania should just get 25 channels.

Demethos + Bellocan pls.
That is all.

Would there possibly be El Nido + Demethos alliance?

:X

I think we should all get realistic here and say Yellonde and Demethos will be allianced, maybe not with each other.. but allied..
I'm hoping Deme + Nido

I play Deme so I hope they just Merge Yellonde with it, won't be much of a change really.

So basically they're overcrowding us in exchange of having their servers run faster? How does this solve anything?

I don't think they'll be overcrowding anything

Yeah, you're right. Roughly doubling a world's size isn't going to make finding a boss, decent fm room or map during 2x exponentially more difficult

Frankly, with the way the game is currently set up, there shouldn't even be more than 19 characters per level range (1 - 10, 11 - 20, etc) because we all have a right to be able to train in peace. Every other game compensates for that need by *gasp* adding instances but Nexon seems pretty opposed to that since they somehow have neglected to add them to the majority of the game over the game's 6 (8 in Korea) year life.

Instead of merging servers they should be adding a couple million more and making it so we can all have peace of mind while we play. Forcing a bunch of people into an already crowded room isn't going to solve pomegranate, except that it will save them money, and that's all they care about.

Most of us avoid servers like Scania because we don't want to deal with ALL of the fuckaloids that MMOs attract, and while we can never be completely freed of that burden, they can certainly throw us a bone by not forcing us to share a space with them.

I mean, pineapple, today during 2x not only could I not find a room, but I couldn't find a room with less than FOUR PEOPLE using it, more in some cases. In ghost pirates and dual ghost pirates. Yes, they're big maps, but they're better if you solo or duo them.

Following through with this is just another shining example of Nexon not caring about their players. I guess that since they've taken out 2x cards, though, it doesn't matter to them whether we can train or not because it won't affect their income at all.

From the way the blog is worded it seems like they'll only be doing this merging to newer, far less populated servers. Yes there will be new population among them, but considering that they are already completely empty, I wouldn't exactly classify merging them as making them overcrowded.

I don't keep up with MS much now because I rlly don't care for it 2 much,

Then why are you even arguing with people about current training situations. That's idiotic.

Yeah, you're right. Roughly doubling a world's size isn't going to make finding a boss, decent fm room or map during 2x exponentially more difficult

when they bump the worlds available channels up from 13ish to 20, no it probably won't have a big impact. most of the player base isn't at lhc, killing pap, pianus, etc etc.

If you combine two worlds without enough population to justify 20 channels and people still say it's lol easy to find maps, just making them 20 channels should be enough of a counterbalance already.

This whole thing is not really an issue is it?

Well I guess it is if you like yer privacy/not being DC hacked.

They can merge whatever they want. Yeah... they'll lose a few southperry-ers.... But F us right?
F the entire F'ing player base... They know we'll come back... Nexon is the abusive boyfriend we just can't leave...

We need that sweet sweet juice, if ya know what I mean.

They could literally say "You have to stick this USB device up yer ass to play", and I would prolly stick it up my ass.

They got us Nexon'd.....

Just grab yer barf bag and enjoy the ride.

Or quit.

Game Over.

"overcrowded" is a relative term.
And they are not "completely empty".
I play in Kradia. We get just a taste of crowding. The popular training maps do get full during peak playing hours, and turn into ks wars on 2x events; the better bosses do get killed within minutes of spawning; if you don't log in within 2 minutes of servers-up you don't get an FM1 spot; and smegas lag you and fill up your chat box at times. We get enough of that for me to know I do *not* want the population doubled. Yes, it would be nice if finding people for PQ's were easier, or the selection in FM were larger, but, for me, the overall peace and quiet outweigh those issues.

I posted a much better solution to their population problem on the Nexon Forums in the topic title the same. I guarantee their solution will be all sorts of fail and if they go with mine, they'd have a much better outcome.

Considering our main smegas come from a select few people. The rest are just the usual "gratz" or people inciting drama which lasts all of 5 mins. FM1 spots are overrated anyway with the dc-hackers lurking about. PQs are almost useless now for those who would rather grind. Sure there are a lot who hate grinding and love PQing, but it's not like the good PQs are empty all the time. KS wars happen whenever the hell they want if you use MP3 like me. There are a few UAs/KoCs that just lurk at MP3 waiting to ks a group of 1-2. Also the merchants who are like 16x+ like to hide out at MP3 as well and ks whoever to "help a friend get a map".

OT: Oh god no. Do not merge servers. Hard enough getting maps for somewhat decent training. I'm with Sapta on FM selection, though. Would be nice to have more Guardian20s. Only seen 1 in the last week and I got it for a hefty 35mil. More people = more DWs who are just morons and more UA Pallys forcing the books to inflate that much more.

I'm not sure they were even referring to Kradia. Seems far more likely they were referring to any or all of the 6 servers on the top line.

Well, Kradia lost out to El Nido in their "Maple Madness" event, so yeah, we're at risk.

Merging = great I guess, I've never played in another server than scania, so I can't tell if having a dead server is all that bad.

Scania's population IS pretty great though! D: Offering free server changes is a way to solve the problem, but I don't think much people would do it, since you have friends/guildmates that you want to move with you and ofcourse all to the same server.

Raising the # of channels is going to open up training spots for sure, but this will make hunting for area bosses overpowered/still impossible. (try finding a pïanus in scania...)


How about, they raise the channels, but also restrict all players from a random 10. That way, population is reduced by 1/3, and you still have 10 channels to choose from when you want to do stuff with your friend.
This probably needs a channel manager if you want to re-randomise your channels, and the ability to choose a set channel so you can have like a guild-channel. You can do this say once a week.
This creates a problem with zak/scar though. Making their channels open for everyone doesn't solve the problem, so maybe they should add 2 channels for each, and make sure the randomification involves exactly 4/6 channels and the ability to set one channel for each boss.

There I fixed it

I feel you, Bellocan is a quiet peaceful world with less going on than Kradia and the fact that it lost to Khaiaiaiaiaiaiah worries me.

I am sort of surprised that Kradia lost to El Nido though.
