Rant about things regarding wipe. (Read)

First of all, don't get me wrong. I love wipes, I love starting again, but there are some things I don't agree about with you. And I know many other old maple players and professionals don't agree either. Okay, here's the "wipe" post. I will bold some things and then comment on them.

Hello players,

The most bugs are fixed, exploits removed and nice features are added. First I we will thank you for waiting till the server was up. Many times it was down because of fixes and other things, you waited till it was again up and never said one word about how horrible it was. The next thing I want to release is that the open beta is gone, most bugs are fixed and we will make special serverupgrade hours, just check the news section at the forum and the site daily. In the open beta were much exploits, players got 2 bil mesos and share it with other and so the economy was ruined. In this server we are trying to make NX rare, maybe you think now 1000 NX isnt much, I agree with you but it will make the gameplay alot better. We are trying to reach when you see someone with full NX, you think: “OMG, he is facking full NX o.O”, if players say that, then is NX really rare. You will het NX from achievements, not much but every NX warp you a little more to your goal!

The economy is ruined, we dont want that again so a wipe is the best solution for now and I want you all to promise me one thing: Reports bugs/glitches or Patch Editing exploits. If you do that, IntertnationalMS get a great economy and NX become rare. When we do a wipe, much people think: “Omg I just reached level …, all work for nothing.” I agree, but now the server will be much better and just try it: Everyone is trying to be ranked in the top 10, help them and join InternationalMS what makes the battle alot more fun. Of course we wipe only your characters, your account is still available and remember this: We do this for you and the server, we even dont like a wipe!
The wipe will be Monday 24 August 8:15 PM Servertime!

Special event: 25 August 2009, 20x exp!

We will keep the opening event for later, because with more players its more fun!

Regards,
iMS team!

1. Please, pay attention to your grammar. Why? Because no one wants to join to DutchMS "follower" if the administrators don't speak fluent english and notice in dutch (Happened in open beta) You have no idea how annoying it is to see a good server fail because GMs don't want, or care about their english.

2. Stop spamming in notices, no one likes it. Adding things like @gm, @keyfix and noticing about them can be done with serverstatus in top bar, you don't have to fill chat box with it. This happened many times.

3. 2b meso "bug" was a dupe, I believe. I'm pretty sure that some of the duping methods arent patched yet if someone was able to get 2b with negative meso or something similar. Things like permits, ITCG-item duping I'm a bit afraid, to be honest.

4. And what comes to the biggest mistake in InternationalMS: NX. If you honestly think your economy was ruined, what about NX then? This isn't OdinMS. OdinMS NX system worked great. NX was rare and only available from GM events. Well, we never really had decent event in iMS, imo. Best prize I saw was Onyx apple which can be acquired from BPQ or FoJ in 10 minutes, doesn't sound like much. However, what comes to NX, that's what maple is about. NX. AP resets, clothes, gachapon. As far as I know, in open beta most of the gachapon items never even came out of gacha because it's so rare. Basically, making NX impossible to get after achievements ruins this game. It's stupid and very silly. NX prizes at events are max. 500. I've seen these things thousand times, but getting 1.5k NX from vote and making achievements to get low NX amounts - that's just horrible. dMS did it better.

1. Sure I agree, next time I will make the letter and let it check by someone who speaks great Enlgish!

2. I didnt spam, Joe did and he is demoted so who cares?

3. Most dupe methodes are patched.

4. Mhmm dont agree, in OdinMS wasn't a Cashshop so NX have to be rare if monsters dont drop it.

Thanks for the nice suggestion, dont think I hate you now!

Wtf of does "I don´t think I hate you now" have to do with this suggestion/rant??

It´s just plain dumb.

Why would I hate you? I was right about every suggestion anyways. There were typos, joe spammed, some dupe methods work and what comes to NX, OdinMS was lacking many functions like gachapon and other non-clothing NX. Now, if you copy OdinMS like you have, we can't never gach, AP reset, buy permits or do anything or otherwise we cant get NX clothing. That's stupid.

can never*

I agree with you , I like it if NX was rare but... this is just TOO rare... we get it form achievements ONCE , and once we run out of achievemnts...what 1k NX per day? :\

Yeah, Ring has a point there.
NX is just TOO Rare,
It's not supposed to be easy to get NX, but it shouldn't be impossible either.

Thank you, also the NX voting goes into NX card NX instead of paypal which is where we get from achievements. I think all should go into NX game card, so we can use it to buy stuff in the MTS

Nx is rare, and that can lead to MANY negative things.
1. How will our higher levels take down stronger levels with weak equips?
2. NO one is willing to spend nx on a permit and start the economy going since it is soooo rare.

But there are positives.
1. No new people gaching and finding a godly item that a lot of people want and get a lot of mesos (kind of spoiled i say)
2. Not many over powered people and keeps the competition to 200 closer~

i think the votin amout should be high
PPL in DestinyMS Vote and get 5k Most ppl i talk to there say brb gonna vote
and they have 10k votes so maybe u can do that much amount, Anywho why is nx rare O_O? WS and stuff like that should be rare, i know nx cant be way easy toget but make it a fair amount for ppl to have a reason to vote.
