Should I start a new Maplestory Private Server

Hi, I want to know your opinion. I want to start a new v.83 server , should I ?

no, every v83 is generic and boring

Like @sunnyboy says, what we usually see with v83 servers is rather boring.
My opinion is, make a new server only if you can bring something new to the table, like never-before-seen and high quality custom features or just an extremely high quality emulation of v83. Most "generic" v83 servers don't survive for more than a few weeks anyway.

I've played v62 and v83 the last 4 years, and personally I prefer the v83. But if you want to host a new one you have to do some new custom changes... but consider that you don't have to destroy the feel of play a old version.
suggestions:

Spoiler:

1.- I think that is very important that Maker skill have to work correctly.
2.- All bosses have to be gms-like (Papulatus, HT, PB, Pianus, Zakum, Targa/Scar)
3.- The server have to be of low rate
4.- The quests to get exp and fame have to work.
5.- Add new content of nx style, faces, hairs, pets, chairs from v16x. But don't add the items. They destroy the v83
6.- Gachapon have to be gms-like.
7.- I recommend make a custom BossPQ for highlvl players
8.- I'd like to see new maps and bosses from others versions like (Chaos Zakum, Chaos Horntail, Dragon Rider PQ) They are pre-bb anyways

Is just my personal opinion
but if I have to be honest, I'd like to play a v90 f4

Why would you need ragezone's opinion on this?

If you want to make a server then go ahead. It might not be overly successful but if you have fun doing it and maybe learn some things in the process then what's the harm?

No, you shouldn't start a maplestory private server. It comes with the liability of getting sued by Nexon and it's too expensive for you!

1. Start server, fix basically nothing. Leech until eyes bleed.
2. Wait until a cease and desist letter/email, shit brick.
3. Obliterate everything relating to the server, blame neckson, players will understand.
4. (Optional) Release the source to RaGEZONE, explain how much has been fixed up.
6. ???
7. Profit.
(this is a joke btw)

OT: Make a server and only invite good friends, that way you can just focus on enjoying the game.

Why the dislikes? It's true. You can't dislike my post until you give me a reason why.

Lol, OP isn't going to be making the next Extalia. Neither of the things you mentioned are an issue for a low playerbase server.

It's still a waste of money.

I suggest you start with v.55 or even v.1 or v.62. Those 3 should be more fun than v.83

You can, but don't necessarily expect to gain much traction with v83. If you know a bunch of people who want to play v83, that would be a generally good idea for a starting population. From there, you can build a community if you still think you want to run a server. Depending on how experienced you are with programming, you can definitely make a bigger impact in v83 than many people may expect. It all really depends on your individual effort first and foremost.

Though, if you want something relatively unique for v83, you can hack Evan in which is ~90% working on the client side (and about 70-80% functioning as intended - some animation frames are just simply broken). It doesn't seem like many people know how to bypass the hard checks (or just don't know about it?) even though it's literally just replacing checking code with nops. Forced higher resolution clients are also possible, but are a pain to actually get working properly (mostly just because you need to manually change the size in a bunch of places and rendering locations for on-screen images). Would be more interested in someone gathering all of the addresses and making it changeable on the fly via some injected process.

Waste of money? It costs about $5-$10 to pick up a cheap VPS. Smart people will use this to learn about Java and Linux, which is an invaluable experience. Dumb people will slap a repack and call it a day.

Noooo! Don't tell them about the nops in CSkillInfo::GetSkill!! :(

Higher resolution in v83, did you ever get that to work? I tried changing it in a few places but it never did anything, I gave up thinking it needed to be changed in a lot more around the client and was too much of a hastle

You're just mad it wasn't the Eric class. Hue.

It does work, the UI and mouse bounds are a bit messed up if you just brute force a lot of them (there's a bunch of locations in the client), but otherwise possible.
