To all Mu Devs ADmins
Wanna know why your server dies so easily?
Mostly Because You allow more than 2 Connection per IP,
Wonder why? Cause it kills the Server Community,
Everyone will open Max Allowed Connection and then there will be no Open Party, There will be no chatting, No players Interacting with themselves,
Ive been playing MU for like since ever, and im really tired of seeing Admins Allowing like 10 Connection like WTF. Most MU Players dont have a Good PC, even me with a Medium Quality PC wont open 10 connection, nor 5, max i open is 2~3.
Please do not kill the server by allowing alot of Bots, MU is an MMORPG, the vital structure of any MMORPG is the MMO part, when you allow more than 3 connections, you kill the MMO part, cause most players will be SOLO 5-man Party.
The best MAx Connection is 2.
This allows Players to Form party, to talk, to make friends, to make your server alive, cause Players go for MMORPG due the MMO, the social aspect of it.
Whales dont give a fck about that, cause they are Whales, they cant see friends, all they see are Enemies, but the F2P and low spending players, do Play the game Because of the Social Aspect. And They are the Ones who will keep your server alive, Be by being fed to the Whales or Be By just existing and populating the game.
More than 2 Connection will take your "Online stats" to 2k yeah, but lets divide that by 5 or 10. As soon as the players find themselves Alone, they will quit. What make players stay are Social Connections, Friends. This is Basic Psychology.
This is not Limited to MU, but in MU it hits harder.
i understand that alot of Servers are Cash Grab machines but i hope you guys take this in consideration.

i believe nowdays people just wanna make $ from mu and 'show off' their server, they dont care about connections at all, they just want as much as possible results in game, more characters, more stats and activity, they cant care enough if its same player using 5 accounts, because that 'helps' them boost their server, and mu helper honestly is the problem because it does everything, old seasons u cant have mu helper and people use simple bot for afk attack and simple loot picker which is fair.
New seasons are just waste of time if using mu helper, but people also dont have time to play anymore so muhelper is helpful, if they use 2 accounts max they will still use mu helper, with old seasons u can block bots and special bots but then it will be boring for players to play without because thats how it was before too, we used bots and saved time, not everyone played global mu and played the hard and manual way, most people want it easy and simple, i believe bots are important and they always played a role in mu, just like leave twisting slash or evil spirit 15 years ago by holding the mouse with some paper, its very useful even if you afk for 5 mins, biggest problem is finding the right players to play, most good players are people who make mu servers, they wanna play and experience all mu features, but most servers you go in game and skip most game features and focus only on level,resets to make fast, so you ignore all the rest and there is no feeling anymore.
Nowdays there are so many new seasons, u can do 1000000 different things, hundreds different of options of new items, new maps and so on and you get lost, thats why s6 servers are still special now days and newer seasons are more complicated, and old seasons like s1-2-3-4 = rare because people think its too old to play and dont make a server, but the truth is if you make it right and get the right players, maybe there is a chance to have real players and real community that enjoys mu once again.
I would agree though, no need to allow more than 2 connections, 1 = main player 2 = transfer items, help buff or anything like that maximum, if have more players then its like 1 bot playing all players and its always still and dont talk in game. Really hard to find servers with challenge and fairness since many years, i dont know what people like in mu anymore (in new seasons) i dont find anything special, just 'discovering' new features and events and then thats it, its all new and heavy in game, too much effects and nothing interesting in story, just visuals, new characters and different functions, but the story of mu in game is still boring, there is nothing real in new seasons, its nice at the start but then its boring when you finish it.
My wish would be a real old school server from webzen with 1-3 max connections and low exp, like 2008-2010 but only k2 network did it, even though they failed with protection and hacks it was more enjoyable than what is now all about $ in game
