    Hello all,

    Today marks the day MapleLegends is released for 6 years. It's still unbelievable sometimes to me that a project that initially was just a new home for ClassicMS / NobleStory became as big as it did.

    Even back in 2014 were my thoughts and expectations for ML during its development:
    [​IMG]
    CMS = ClassicMS

    6 years later... Well, guess it happened anyway, and I guess I did end up controlling it mostly. Of course, the adventure did definitely not go without pain and mistakes, but that's just the thing about every adventure; the bumpy roads and friends you meet along the way.

    It goes without saying, but as I mentioned in a lot of my announcements, it couldn't be done if it wasn't for the amazing and hard-working staff members. I am definitely not doing it alone, and most of the work goes towards them, and their dedication.

    For those that expect the Anniversary Event already, please expect it around the same time as last year. We are currently working on a massive update, as well as overhauling yet more code that is a mess thanks to structures our emulator is based on (OdinMS). One of the bigger projects now is related to all the buff masks, and if fixed, it will fix all the issues right now related to some skills, such as 3rd person paladin elementals not showing, Speed Infusion been jank, as well as bug fixes.

    We are also working on fixes related to the client. However, details on those will be revealed during the patch date

    I am currently working on a massive overhauling project when it comes to some maps. Ariant, as well as Magatia, have been completely overhauled, making the maps much less flat and boring, with teleporters added of course. Currently also started work on a different region as well. Hopefully, those maps will be used more often in the future.

    We have also been in the talk on how we want to evolve MapleLegends further and see if we can improve MapleLegends based on the criticism the nature of the server receives over the past years, related to Leeching as well as Washing. However, as I mentioned many times before, making any kind of changes to either topic is a very difficult task on a 6 years old server, and it not happening in MapleLegends does not mean I like and encourage leech or wash meta.

    Sometimes we do what is not visible. Did you notice the number of false bans is more or less gone? If you didn't, you may now suddenly go 'huh? Yeah, it's been a bit indeed.' and you are right. In the background, we have also fixed the false auto bans so that false bans do much less occur, while still having the 'No hackers' strength we do.

    When it comes to me, I want to make it clear again that I have no plans to let MapleLegends go anytime soon, unless something happens that is out of my control :) MapleLegends is providing countless players enjoyment and friendship, that could otherwise no longer being experienced due to Old School MapleStory no longer officially existing, and I am happy to provide that missing hole for users as long I physically can.

    Thank you all for being around, even if you are currently only reading this post. Remember that all of you are Legends!

    Thanks for sticking around, staying dedicated and true to the original vision of ML, and for the consistency in both balancing patches and events. It's been a long-ass time since this server was brought to life and I don't think anyone could have dreamed of it being where it is now.

    Congrats, thanks, and here's to hoping we'll be celebrating the 10-year-anniversary soon~

    Nostalgia is one helluva drug.

    The work you do does not go unnoticed. It speaks volumes to the tenacity that is inherent to each and everyone who has worked on, and is still working on, MapleLegends.

    Me being once a Server Administrator (not for MapleStory), I can really understand the hardship you and the staff have to go through making a private server not just to host a game, but to create a great community as well.

    I went through it once and it too was tiring, but I always pay my respect to people who do this out of love and passion without necessarily having a payment return like a normal job.

    What set MapleLegends apart from anything is the fact that it allowed me to play and continue that MapleStory PBB journey without blowing thousands and thousands of dollars on it, as I stand here with a few characters, knowing that if I had to replicate this in 2008-2010, I would have been disappointed as to how Neckson especially took MapleStory a wild turn.

    There were also moments in MapleLegends when I also didn't feel like playing anymore due to sometimes how people can be bad in general (life sucks whether in ML or not), but the special part is also still being able to interact and talk with the staff and more. It creates really fond memories in my MapleStory diary and always drives me back here.

    MapleLegends is the best pServer that I've found and I've never looked into any other server, after Saga and well, they were P2W.. theres more socializing here in Legends and I'd hope to see the server grow with more players and friendships along the way.

    Man I never would have guessed you would be running the best maplestory PS one day. Thank you and the staff for giving so many people a place to not only play or chill but so much more.

    Cheers to many more good and bad years to come.

    This thread besides mentioning the date of the event will be similar to last year's has nothing to do with the event, so I am confused about what you mean.

    The current Ariant and Magatia maps' quality in a vacuum are generally quite decent already. The main reason why very few people train there is that they're basically in the middle of nowhere, requiring two boat rides to even reach from the main Victoria Island/Leafre/Ludi hub that mots people hang out in. I don't know the details of the proposed overhaul obviously, but if my guess is correct it's probably based on the maps in current GMS, which are much larger and wider, and if Forest of Dead Tree is of any indication making small and flat maps larger and wider are going to make them actually worse.
