You are here: I log into Maple Story on the Windia server (MagusEmperor, my sin xD look me up) and i can't help but notice how crowded the game is now. You cant step 3 feet without bumping into someone, and even when you have found an empty room, the game lags slightly due to the large player base and the amount of players online at one time. Now, you say "Okay, so Windia lags, but what can we do about it?"
Right now, Windia is one of the more populated servers, while servers like Mardia stand empty. I think everyone joins Windia because it sounds cool 0.o. I think that nexon/wizet should influence new accounts towards joining mardia. It would be really easy too. The new accounts, ones without any character on any server, could be given a reward of some kind for joining the emptier servers. Not only would this even out the server populations a bit, but friends of people who play maplestory, who have decided to join the fun, could still join Windia if their friend is in Windia. They would just not get the reward they would have gotten if they had joined Mardia.
The economy of mesos/nx cash in maplestory mesos a delicate balance. Too many players brings items up to insane prices, while too little players bring prices to an all time low. In Windia Steelies (a throwing star used by thieves) are currently being sold for 12-14 million mesos. As a curious player, I decided to make a Mardian player to check out the prices there. And let me say this, Mardia is a ghosttown. I went to the free market, and people are selling Steelies for 2 - 5 million mesos, an all time low across all servers. The fact is people are selling them for such a low price because they are not in demand there... there just arent enough people to want them.
