I reported this bug awhile ago --> https://forum.playphoenix.ca/topic/578-quest-bug-eliminate-monsters-from-the-site/ Arnah responded to the thread and fixed the bug. However he only applied the patch to channel 1 apparently. Channel 2 and 3 were still bugged. You can get around this bug by simply changing channel to 2 or 3.

Nice idea, but what you gonna do when Nexon lawyers send a cease & decist letter to you and your web host provider? But anyways I hope you succeed lol

Characters level 8 - 29 are supposed to get the Mad bunny easter (Yellow) quest. However my level 20 noob is getting the GREEN quest. The green quest is supposed to be for level 30 and over chars. Edit: the "Golden Egg" option from Mad Bunny is bugged only in channel 1. Channel 2 and 3 seem to be working properly.

No. I don't know where you heard that 1 weapon attack is equivalent to 10 magic attack. But that's simply wrong. MA is exactly the same thing as INT as far as damage calculation is concerned. Therefore giving a mage 200 magic attack is equivalent to giving a thief 200 LUK. Nexon typically doubles the amount of MA given, as compared to WA. For instance meditation skill gives 20MA, rage skill gives 10WA. So following this standard, leafre buff could reasonably be 40 MA. If you double that just to be generous to mages, it'd be 80 MA. 200 is just crazy talk.

Yeah Carnival PQ exp is way too OP. It will kill Ludi PQ and no one will ever LPQ again if CPQ is released. CPQ is like THE ideal platform for afk mule leeching. If you're a big time multi-mule operator you couldn't ask for a better gift. At least with Ludi PQ and Kerning PQ, every character has to keep moving in order to go on to the next stage. You can't park afk mules from start to finish like you can in CPQ. IMHO it would be a grave mistake to add CPQ to this server. I like Noscible and KDOT's ideas, both. I think if you gave out Spiegleman's necklace for everyone who did 30 (or w/e) LPQ's, that would be great.

So my earlier thread about this quest was closed and moved to "Resolved" section. Because the bug was fixed. However it looks like Arnah applied the fix to channel 1 only. Channel 2 and channel 3 are still bugged. I did this on another character, and I was getting the exact same bug. I was in channel 2. I changed to channel, 3, still bugged. Changed to channel 1, now it worked.

yup it's working now, ty

Does this work in Windows 7? Or is it only for Windows 10

Presumably that girl who smega'ed about loving her BF, she didn't spam it 30 times in a row. Most likely it was that one smega, wouldn't you agree? Considering it cost money. Now take a look at that screenshot in the 1st post. Someone really did spam 30 messages in a row. Every single one of these smegas was completely devoid of any meaning, as you can see in the screenshot. It's just garbage. Whereas that GMS girl probably did love her BF, and expressing her love publically at least has some meaning. Do you see a difference here? That screenshot isn't the end by the way, the spam fest goes on for at least 20 more after that.

Currently smega is dirt cheap to buy. Anyone can vote once a day and spam smega to their heart's content, as evidenced here: This is not GMS-like and it's not nostalgic. Not at all. In GMS you had to buy smega with real dollars or euros, so nobody ever spammed smega with meaningless garbage like they do here. In GMS when someone used an smega to congratulate you, it really meant something. You really appreciated your friend for spending the money to buy an smega just for you. Whereas here in Phoenix, smega means exactly zero, nothing. Because most of the smega is garbage. I strongly suggest you made smega purchase-able with donator points only. It would make the game more pleasant, more GMS-like, and help generate more revenue for the server which could be used to buy advertising or whatever.

This guy is beyond harassment; what he's doing is basically extortion.

Did you have another chocolate basket in your inventory? It's a one-of-a-kind item, so if there's one e in your inventory already then you can't get another one. Now it would be nice if the NPC told you that you already have one in your inventory, but I think it just tells you the generic "full inv" message.

That seems like the answer and the solution to this thread. Not sure why you're so careful to not offend the mule owner. Does the mule owner have the right own the MM map? Or is the map FFA? Only one of those two are correct. Just grow a pair and kill the MM. If drama arises because the mule owner honestly believes that he is entitled to own the MM map by parking a mule there, go ahead and record the encounter on video and then submit it to Arnah for review. He will either say you're right or the mule owner is right.

Mostly, yeah... however there were some gacha items that were very helpful that came out early (I think early 2007), like brown bandana. +5 to 7 free accuracy is a huge deal to warriors. Just to simplify my previous wall of text: Buff mules do not reduce the playerbase. If that were the case, the R-server would have 50 players online. In reality they have 2500 players online right now, I just checked. I'm not in favor of buff mules, I would probably be happier if buff mules disappeared. But that has nothing to do with this server having few players. It's a completely different topic. Also all the complaints about game balance and the tweaks and changes that the OP wants... they may be valid and perfectly good suggestions. However none of that has anything to do with the server's low population. You guys are lumping together two different topics into one. The popular servers with thousands of players have even bigger game balance issues and problems. It's not reducing their playerbase. So please, keep the game balance issue and the low playerbase issue separate.

Different strokes for different folks. Maybe for you "Vanilla Maplestory" is boring and lame. For me it's appealing, because I play for nostalgic reasons. Playing pre-BB maplestory is like comfort food for me. I'm not looking for exciting new custom content or meta-changing game tweaks, I'm looking to relive my childhood. Obviously there will be people who think like you, and then there will be others who think like me. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with any particular game tweak or custom content suggestions you made. Some of them are probably worthy and needed. What I'm disagreeing with is your assertion that vanilla maple turns people off and is a major reason why this server has problem attracting new players. That's completely wrong. The #1 and #2 servers are basically nostalgia servers with minimal changes from vanilla. They have thousands of people online right now. Biggest reason I see for this server's low population is that it's freaking hard. It's harder to level here than GMS back in 2008. It's actually even worse than a pure 1x clone of GMS, because our equipment is worse here than GMS of the same version (no equip that comes out of gacha, no dark scrolls, etc). And in GMS people used to buy 2x exp coupons. It was not rare at all, me and my friends used to get 2x coupons all the time. And of course the GM would hold 2x events regularly. I don't think anything can be done about this, Arnah seems dead set on creating a hardcore, hard-to-level server with crappy equip. So as far as that's concerned, it's not gonna change. What *CAN* be done to attract more players is advertising. Paid advertising works. Google is worth a trillion dollars because of this fact. I've seen private servers zoom up in GTOP rankings and attract hundreds of new players because the server owner strategically placed paid ads. I wouldn't mind if Arnah created more donator perks to get more people to donate, if he uses that money to buy advertising for the server. Everyone loves chairs, I wouldn't mind paying US Dollars to get some cool chairs that I used to have in GMS back in the day. If pay-to-win is a big concern, you could make the chairs untradeable. These are the 2 chairs that I used to have that I remember the most. Palm Tree chair was a reward anyone could get by doing Ariant PQ. The Maple Tree chair I don't remember how I got it.
