Royals staff members suck in general though, bunch of assholes, but you will never really meet them unless you have technical problems or you are just. I've been banned in Legends for nothing because players are more sensitive, while in Royals players tend to be more drama queens and immature ( which is actually fun, sometimes there are smega wars and it's really enjoyable to watch ). Kimberly won't even approve criticism or anything else on her forum anymore, she will approve everything herself or delete them. The amount of people that stress their ass off about washing and all that and get burned out before they even get remotely close to being a level relevant enough for it to matter is stupid. Maple used to be about the journey, not the destination. When you dig into it oldschool maple is a pretty garbage game and its mostly nostalgia that makes it fun. Whatever you end up doing I 100% suggest you play the game the way you like it. If you can look past that however it seems to be a great server. I wanna play OLD SCHOOL maplestory, not have GMS-abilities and all kinds of BS going on. However I personally cant stand how customized it is. Haven't played dreamMS myelf, it seems to tackle a lot of issues and be rather fast-paced which is ideal for most adults. However it can feel very isolating as a newcommer, pretty elitist vibes with closed friendgroups going on(not saying there aren't friendly people out there, there's great people but compared to other servers it's rather lacking to me) For me its just way too grindy. Basically no hackers, RWT is tiny, and the staff is very chill and you wont get banned over calling someone a poopyhead. Maplelegends = Very oldschool feeling, doesn't have enough staff to handle all the issues, but most high-priority things do get taken care of.

Mapleroyals = quick nostalgia trip with horrible staff RWT and hackers and inflated items, assuming you're an adult that doesn't want to grind their ass off yet experience some nostalgia that is accelerated to a reasonable degree I think its pretty solid. I heard DreamMS has very fast progression which I'm not sure how I feel about (since it's something I sort of dislike in current GMS) and MapleLegends also has that leech mule problem.Īny suggestion between these three, or other servers? Or should I just stop looking and quit private servers for good? Nowadays those maps are likely just occupied by mages and their leech buyers/other account. There were people training at wolfspiders in parties, same with MP3 and even petrifighters sometimes. I remember when MapleRoyals was fairly new? I think around 2017 or even a bit earlier, it was not as bad as this. And I wasn't very keen on spending hundreds of hours doing chores before I could finally have fun.Īnd it was difficult to find parties to just train with or whatever because everywhere, people would leech. to fund myself with items/HP washing for a second character, then I'd have to get that second character to 120+ through mostly PQing/leeching because they're too weak from the washing to do damage, and only then are you able to actually play the game and enjoy your characters.

Felt like I legit could not play the game until I made a mage, got it to at least be able to 2-shot end-game training spot monsters, make enough money selling leech/NX/AP resets/gacha/etc. If I wasn't shopping in FM or doing the the occasional server events, I was leeching myself or selling leech. I stopped because it mostly became a boring grindfest to be honest. The last private server I played was MapleRoyals, which was several years ago.

I prefer v83 or earlier, which is why I narrowed it down to these three servers. Hello, I'm looking for a relatively populated server (500+ at a time, the more the better) with a decent rate of progression and sense of community, I guess.
