Regarding a season update

Hello. You could have said you are playing on a different server with no further mentions about their settings or statistics so kindly edit your post and remove the extra unnecessary info that sounds more like advertising, besides most communities fake their statistics these days so they are irrelevant, it becomes hilarious at the point when they forget to fake the hidden statistics page too and there are many who do that. It's even worse that people buy fake votes for topsites such as xtremetop100 and MU community has been educated in such a manner to migrate on every crappy new server that launches just because of the competition and stays away from lower exp servers if they missed the start by a few months.

By the way, we are not using season 9 but season 8 currently, however there are a few posts made in forum about our future progress and I'm here to tell you that we are already switched to a new team of developers for a couple months now and working on our upcoming Season 10 Episode 3 server (which is going to be upgraded to Season 12, currently still in beta, as soon as we'll consider it stable) that should be launched probably in May 2017, alternatively we'll be running a separate realm and support older seasons such as Season 6 Episode 3 that should be launched in summer. Keep in mind that bugs will always be part of this game and any other game or other software that is being developed, no such thing as bug free games exist and the annoying bug you are talking about is unfixable for the current version (season 8 episode 2) we are using but it won't exist anymore in newer versions and we are also going to have all those nice extra features such as reconnecting system, setparty, no hp/mana visual bugs or agility bugs and many others.

If there are any other suggestions feel free to post them down below, we're not going anywhere.

 

I don't see how you came to that conclusion from what I said but no one is getting mad here. I asked you to remove that part simply because it sounds like an advertising text (not that you were trying to advertise somthing) and we are not interested in discussing about some other server settings, how many players they got and other similar things that are not related to our own servers. I've corrected the post.

We haven't decided yet but a x10 non-reset server will definetly exist.

 

We'll host multiple realms so we can reach a larger audience. Currently not sure what server it's going to be launched first and I'm still thinking if we should use a reset/grand reset limit or simply let everyone reset their character as much as they want but limit the stats only up to 100 resets for example and starting with 100 resets you will get a special token for every next reset that you can exchange for in-game features, items, etc. Example: 0-100 resets you earn stats (maximum will probably be 65K-100K), 101 resets you get a special token, 102 another special token and so on.

 

We are one of the first MU servers to use these rates (10x) that became very popular nowdays so there is no doubt that we'll host such realm.

 

We are not in 2005, this game was much more popular 12 years ago. FrienzMu used to be our partner server that we worked together with (we were using the same files, logos and web developer) until it shutdown, it was a low exp reset server and that breaks the non-reset server concept. I expected for different and more useful suggestions that but I'll answer anyway.
1) if we are talking about a non-reset server then there won't be any resets, we'll leave that for the reset server
2) no idea what's a good spawn rate for you, we only use default spawn rates and we'll use similar spots to what we currently have because they are plenty and well organized so enough mobs and spots are available (the 4-6 mobs per spot depending on map and hotspots + default monsters spawning nearby has become a standard setting in MU servers nowdays simply because that seems to be the perfect size for a spot and provides a balanced exp. Back in the days when there weren't that many maps and subservers were not popular you could see bigger spots with two parties ksing eachother and still getting a good amount of experience)
3) we won't split the community into separate servers (we'll have non-pvp and pvp maps) unless we get overcrowded and need additional subservers. We will however work on the pk system.
4) you mean characters? if so then everyone has it's own theory as for "balancing" characters, like MG was never ment to be a strong character in this game but an easy alternative to levelup. It's easier to adjust characters on a non-reset server but everytime it will be different so this is going to happen in time, as for reset servers there is no such thing as balance unless limiting max stats and adjusting settings live.
5) ruud system is a Season X+ feature, not a server specific feature so it will be available
6) they should find a different server then which most likely won't stay online for more than a couple months because servers like that don't survive long. Things such as premium files, hosting, website, etc are not free nor cheap and just like others, we also ran at some point a non-donation server and it's the worse thing someone can do because it's the place where people give back nothing and ask for everything making all kind of dumb suggestions, give nonsense directions and disrespec administration. I've read similar posts in other communities and it's a harsh truth that I had to learn it the hard way, even though ours lasted much much longer and we are still here for over 12 years now. The p2win thing is usually a pathetic excuse used by those who can't play this game or expect to same have game progress for even less time spent in-game than someone who donates, even on ridiculous servers that sell literally everything (gmo included) a free player can easily keep up with a premium player. We'll stick to what we normally use in xShop for years., it's fair and affordable since everyone has access regardless if they donate or not.
7) we use the client provided by webzen and our developers team so cpu/memory usage is the one that any S10-S12 MU client uses, there won't be any limit in terms of connection

 

1. We won't be using /offattack, it's the most useless custom feature of this game and promotes "zombie" gameplay (happy to see that it hasn't become a trend and most servers disabled it too)
2. We never had characters like summoner, rage fighter (and now grow lancer) behind a pay card here and it would be ridiculous to add such thing now, we're not webzen, however we are probably going to use default creation level for each class (grow lancer for example requires a level 200 character). You're thinking about creating them from level 1 or leave the default creation level as is?
3. Should be May, there will be a pre-announcement like 3 weeks ahead anyway
4. Probably closed beta (currently alpha), still thinking

 

Pretty sure you mean /offattack so I've corrected that, as for character creation level I also agree it's best we stick with default settings, especially for the non-reset server.

 

Agreed, reconnect system together with setparty are nice feature to have but I love the ignore function most in newer seasons, it makes our life so much easier. Any suggestions regarding goldens, event bosses drops? I'd say that over the years we had one of the best drop settings around, we kept it simple and yet balanced for those playing this game.

 

@NazguL, as I said before, we will be hosting S6Ep3 in a separate project that will go live somewhere in the summer. EternalMu will go for Season10 and then Season12 will follow.
@killerkong, that is because most of those servers are faking votes, statistics and xtremetop is corrupted for years now. Glad you found us!
- We don't have a facebook group, we got forums for that.
- Never liked the pc/ip limits because it has always been allowed in this game and adding limits could cause more problems that may be really hard to debug, besides there are always ways to bypass this.
- Seals cannot be changed in a different way, they work the way they are intended to work.

 

Thanks @Terrafrit
Your listed drops are pretty much what we already use for years now (except the grow lancer items that we need to add) on our servers, including the current running season 8
PS: Great dragon set is also available in bok+5

As you know, imperial event is a good source of 380 weapons/armors s per default, also we set nightmare to drop 380 items aswell, together with selupan and balgass. I doubt people will find exciting hunting all the 380 items from regular monsters drop only as it used to be on older seasons where there were much less events.

Does second part refers to golden monsters number? You talking about 2 x bok+5 as a whole per invasion or per each map where goldens drop bok+5 ?

We'll stick to 2 max exc options as for socket items we're still undecided. We used to have 3 max sockets for everything except double handed weapons (5 sockets) but we could go to 5 max sockets, however tetra spheres are introduced now so this will give socketed items some boost, therefore probably it's best to stick to 3 max sockets as we always did. It's easier and safer to increase the sockets number in the future if we want to than removing them.
