Hey Youtube Coppersan here! So you want
to return to or start playing MapleStory but have no idea which server to choose?
Well then you came to the right video! As someone who has spent way too much time in
this game on a lot of servers I have a pretty clear picture of the advantages and disadvantages
of different servers. But we’re not here to talk about my crippling maplestory addition
but about which server is right for you! This video is based on the servers
available in MapleStory Global. And I'll discuss the differences and advantages and
disadvantages between the two types of servers, and which servers are more populated than others.
So without further ado, let's dive right in. There are two regions in maplestory global.
One for EU players and one for NA players. Both regions have their servers hosted on
different continents. This means that your ping to each server will be different. As someone
from the Netherlands I can really notice that my ping is a lot better in the EU servers than
in the NA servers. Lower ping usually means that looting by yourself is faster, npc dialogue
appears faster and some classes still have ping relient skills. So before picking a server
make sure to pick the region that is closer to where you live for the best ping. Do keep in
mind that ping might vary per country and ISP. So next thing that you should know is that
there are three types of servers. There are event servers like the burning world and
the yeti and pink bean world. Those servers usually appear from time to time during events
and have several benefits. And there are two types of servers that are always available.
Those are regular servers and reboot servers. There is a big difference between the two, and both have different playstyles and ground
rules. Let’s start with the reboot server. In the reboot world there is no trading, so
there is no ingame economy that can be used to purchase gear from other players. Because
there is no trading, monsters will only drop gear that your class can use. Gear cannot
even be traded within your own account. Because of this limitation it will be harder and
more time consuming to get your own gear compared to the other non reboot servers. However this
also means that it will most likely feel more satisfying to work towards and complete those
gear goals yourself. Getting gear in reboot can be very time consuming. For example I am
right now working on getting arcane gear. This is end game gear and will take months to
collect. But it doesn’t always have to be like that. If you could get carried by other players
some of the boss gear will be a lot easier to get. However some rare drops like the pitched
boss set might still take a while to get. I’ve been defeating chaos papulatus for almost a
year and I still haven’t found his boss accessory. To make things easier, most burning events
reward temporary gear that will get you a long way and will help you overcome the first
hurdles when you’re starting a new character. In the regular servers maplers can use scrolls
to upgrade their gear, however those also have been removed from reboot. And the same goes
for the additional bonus potential lines that regular items can have. There only are
starforce, regular potential and bonus stats. This means reboot players their items cannot get
as strong as their regular server counter parts. But it also means that upgrading is a lot
more streamlined, and there is no relying on overpowered scrolls that are only
available from certain random boxes. To counter this lack in power there is a special
beginner skill that all reboot players get. This skill increases your final damage and helps quite
a bit to take down the strong monsters in reboot. Because all normal monsters in reboot have
way higher HP compared to their regular server cousins. But they also net more EXP.
This will make grinding harder earlier on, but after level 200 it does get better. There
is less emphasis on starforce monster grinding like the regular server because the regular
monsters scale pretty nicely as well. Making room for more maps to grind in compared to
the regular server. At least below level 200. Another big advantage of reboot is that some
cash items that are paid for with NX cash so with actual money in the regular
servers cost Mesos in the reboot server. Hyper teleport rocks. Miracle
circulators used to reset inner ability, wedding tickets, unlimited buff freezers, Jetts
link skill cosmic dust etc all can be bought with the ingame currency. And most importantly so can
cubes. In reboot players cannot craft their own cubes to reset their potential lines. Instead
cash shop cubes can be bought with mesos which removes a big part of the otherwise heavily
monetized potential system. Items like flames and bags which cannot be crafted in reboot can
be bought in general stores for mesos as well. So as you might have noticed getting mesos
is super important for the reboot server. It also helps that the meso rate in reboot is
about 5 times as high as the regular server. Meaning that monsters drop a lot more mesos.
Boss crystals, Ursus and Maple Tour all give more mesos as well compared to the regular server.
Making it a lot easier to farm your own mesos. I could easily farm billions of mesos if I wanted to
from simply doing my weekly bosses and grinding. This also means that getting meso gear is a lot
more important earlier on in reboot. As well as drop gear to get those boss drops that are
otherwise impossible to get. And meso and drop rate familiars. Looting is extremely important
in reboot. So all players get an additional free 5 hour duration pet that regular server
players don’t get. As well as a special box if they get started on the reboot server. Besides
those free pets there are only two bosses in the game, hilla and the toad boss from ninja castle
that have a chance to drop a pet. So getting one of those can be hard if you’re unlucky and
not willing to spend money on buying some. Some events like the fairy bros login event do
give out free pets but those are a bit more rare. Let's also quickly go over some systems that
reboot doesn’t have. For example there are no red familiar cards available in the reboot cash
shop. Making it a lot harder for reboot players to optimize their familiars. There also are
no double exp cards in the cash shop either. Some other game features like monster
life are not available in reboot. And there is no meso market so mesos cannot
be bought for NX cash in this server. That is all I can think of what is different
in the reboot server. Now to quickly mention what is there for the regular servers.
Those servers focus a lot more on trading. If you like to be a merchant and make big bucks
then these non reboot servers are the way to go. Trading is important for everyone, as you
can purchase cash items like clothing and pets through the auction house. Cubes cannot
be bought so instead people buy already cubed gear or focus on crafting cubes themselves.
It is very much possible to be a free to play player in the regular servers. But it will
be harder in less populated servers. More about which servers are more popular
compared to others later in the video. There are more ways to upgrade your gear
in the regular server with scrolls and bonus potential. There are a ton of different
scrolls out there and some rarer scrolls that are only obtained through cash random boxes.
Like the marvel machine. And while those can usually be traded, it is still difficult
to obtain those for free to play players. Leveling up also is slightly different
in the regular servers, at least up until level 200. You’ll be mostly focussing
on grinding at starforce monsters as those give the best exp. Getting enough starforce early
on is very important in the regular servers. You can also buy double exp cards with NX cash to
level up even faster. It is also a lot easier to switch mains on the regular server. As you can
just buy new gear in the auction house or make your old gear tradable. You can even transfer
your symbols through a special item that can be bought in the legion store. Leveling to
at least level 200 will also go faster in the regular server if you make proper use of all
the systems and items that are available there. As long as you’re making mesos on the regular
server, through either selling items in the auction house or grinding and bossing. You
will be able to get Maple Points through the meso market to purchase as much NX cash
as you want. This is easier said than done though. Especially if you’re not familiar with
ways to play the market to make mesos. Keep in mind that stuff like hyper teleport rocks,
wedding tickets, circulators and others all cost NX Cash in the regular server and are not
available for mesos like in the reboot servers. And like I already mentioned at the reboot
part there also is monster life in the regular server. This farmville-like minigame can help your
character get a few bonus stats as well. And as a final note, the special burning world server only
allows transferring characters to regular worlds. So that is another advantage that regular
servers have. I think I mentioned everything, but if I forgot something feel free to
leave a comment to let the world know! Population wise the world with the most
population in maplestory global is the NA reboot server. Which holds about 50% of all
characters created. Then Bera then scania, then aurora, then elysium, and the luna and
EU reboot which is also the youngest server. That doesn’t mean that the less popular servers
are dead or anything like that. But do keep in mind that for the regular servers like elysium
and luna it might be harder to merchant as there is a bit less population. Not impossible by
any means, but it could be slightly harder. Also if you’re Dutch you have to play
in reboot. As all dutch players are trade blocked it is better to play in the
server that is designed for no trading. And because people always ask me about my
opinion as well as which server I prefer. After having played both servers
I really enjoy the reboot server a lot more than the regular server. There
are less upgrade options for my items for me to worry about. And being able to buy
cubes whenever you want is really fun. When I was still playing on the
regular server my character was stuck progression wise because there wasn’t a
big economy in the luna server that I was in. It was hard for me to make mesos without investing
a lot of time. And it also didn’t help that after investing a lot of time in events to get some
cash cubes. My items actually got worse stats and I had to wait for the next event or farm even
more to create my own cubes. It felt like such a waste to spend all this time participating in
events only for your gear to get worse stats. I never buy cubes for NX cash in the regular
server even with the free NX cash I get as part of being a Nexon creator. So there was no fun for
me to have in the regular server in that regard. I did like that I could easily fund my mules
and I do miss that in the reboot server. But I have plenty of time to grind for
those myself. So personally I prefer the reboot server and it’s longer,
but more streamlined progression.
So which server are you going to pick
or are you playing in? Let me know in the comments If And as always, many thanks to
