The kMS Test Server at their level is 60x EXP. That's no measly 350%. It's 6,000%.

Me in jMS!

By the, is it hard to get in kMS? And do many people actually try?

[Squeek]

1) Having fun not knowing what people are saying and with that massive lag? Nexon periodically checks accounts for bogus information entered in the signup process and deletes the accounts. Someone I know lost their level 90-something character that way.

2) kMS requires a Korean ID Number. Meaning, you actually have to be a Korean citizen to play. People try to fake it.

Do they do that here? If so, i'm #$%@ed.

[evilbutterfly]

Well well, since some people seem to know so much:

1) WHAT THE HELL DOES "Hands" DO?! Is it used in ANY version of the game?
2) What does the setup tab in the inventory do? Nothing seems to go there...
3) Do you get more etc storage in the 3rd job? I figure thieves probably do, but I'm wondering about mages....
4) The Ludi PQ looks cool. Those guys weren't even level 40 yet and they could hit the boss, so you think a level 40 fire mage could own it up? Thought so. d=
5) jMS has 1.5x exp rates, right? If Afro plays I may get on and play with him. Higher exp + it's nighttime for them so it's empty + more stuff + I feel like it = sounds like a great idea right now

PS: You guys who said the people being 100+ is crazy. Not only do they have higher exp rates, they have more PQs. PQs make leveling so much easier, in case you guys have forgotten already.
PPS: It'd be really funny if somebody accidentally meso explosioned that boss there at the end and destroyed all that money. XD

Setup is for stupid items like Christmas decorations and shit when special events are around. Go check HS for them.

I'd be all for that, but in order to play jMS I have to change settings on the computer. And for some reason instead of displaying "/" in directory addresses (like for local folders and stuff) it shows a yen symbol. And it's not even just on my windows login; it goes for all the windows logins on the computer. Because of that, I keep the settings so it will display the "/" properly, even though I can't play jMS that way.

Anyone who is serious about playing jMS, talk to me on AIM. I won't help you get through it (unless you're playing for a reason besides a better version of MS... like me, I downloaded it because it would be a good way to practice my reading skills), but I'd like to know if it's worth my time to start playing.

About the lag: it's not that bad. I got much worse lag off a 56k connection to gMS.

[ImEric12]

Hmm.. if you two were playing I'd play.

But I think the 1.5 exp thing is a cash shop item, so meh. That's the only real reason I'd play.

No. They have 1.5x exp of gMS and they also have a cash shop item for 2x exp.

[ImEric12]

Hmm.. too bad I know absolutely 0 Japanese.

[Tokzic]

I'm learning Japanese, so maybe I'll get into that later.

For now, I just got a Scania account, where I'm an aspiring Warrior. I've played 5 minutes and I'm level 7. If you care for it, my username there is Xylthe.

[ImEric12]

Chillin' wit mai 'rog.

[Afrobean]

How can there be a Jr Balrog without a normal Balrog?

And don't tell me Crimson Balrog is the normal one.

[Pumble]

There's no normal Necki.

[Squeek]

And before anybody says anything else, there IS a "Boogie".

1) Hands does nothing. It was meant to do something, but it isn't in there yet.

2) It was for Christmas letters. There were 26 letters in two colors each and 10 numbers in 2 colors each. 72 total letters and numbers. Then there were various other things as well. I'm certain you would have loved to have that in your ETC slots.

3) Don't know.

4) Maybe you could do it at 40. Good luck though. I don't even think we'll get that until you guys quit or get past 50.

5) It's 1.25x. Every 4 EXP adds one more, in a sense. Blue Snails are 5 EXP. Slimes are 12.

Any more questions? Ask them.

[falconsfan14]

Im lvl 9 =D.

[dRaGoNiaZ]

So, I'm a level 31 Ice mage in Bera, and it's really startin to get discouraging.

I have no idea where to level.
I don't have a party, or friends to level with.
And theres so many more levels to go!
All I want to wear is my dark Seraphis (lv60), but thats like.. miles away.

[evilbutterfly]

Hmm.. too bad I know absolutely 0 Japanese.

I don't know any Japanese either, but I manage to play Super Famicon Wars without anybody showing me how. (for those who don't know, SFW is the Japenese-only SNES version of Advance Wars. If you don't know what that is, well, go find out, cuz I'm not explaining) Playing SFW actually taught me some stuff (like tree) so I think playing jMS would be cool because then I'd be able to understand the things in screenshots more easily. Hell, may be I could pick up on some Japanese. However, if I ever did anything for language it'd be playing a Spanish MS. I run into so many hispanics on MS as it is, and I'm usually the only person around that can translate. I bet you've all run into hispanics, too, and just don't know it. Any time somebody doesn't respond to stuff you say, ask them "Hablas ingles?" and they'll most likely say no. Of course, one time when I said that a guy was like "I bet that's the only Spanish you know" in Spanish and I had to tell him otherwise. Knowing a language is fun!

Squeek: What purpose do guilds serve? Just to affiliate yourself with people, or is there some actual benefit? Guild vs guild battles would be cool, but I seriously doubt that can happen in MS (and can you say HECTIC?! I sure can!).

And I saw the letters and decorations and wondered if it was some event I missed or if it's just something not in gMS. Which is it, or is it both?

And does the 1.25x exp apply to things like PQs and the EQ? Like, would my solid horns be worth 625 exp instead of 500, or what?

AND WHERE IS A BOOGIE?! =O

[Chromer]

Okay guys, I've finally decided I want to play Maple Story. All I need is a little of advice. I want to be able to use magic but not get my ass handed to me in fighting. What would be my best choice?

[Tokzic]

Sounds like you want a Page, Chromer, which means you'd start out as a Warrior.
