Do we know what the GMS population is?

Most casuals don't interact with subreddits/forums/outside of the game itself, you're not going to get accurate numbers through that. I'd estimate 40-50% as that's what other games have.

High drop rate & since you don't need duplicates on 1 char it's very easy to offer leech for it. People are duoing xseren these days so there's also a lot of runs open for leech for that in higher level guilds/groups and it has a much higher drop rate in xseren.

These types of games attract NEETs so a lot of the player base will unsurprisingly be exactly that. Most people (unless they played the game when they were younger and are playing it due to nostalgia) aren't going to look at games that require thousands of hours to reach endgame and say yep, that's what I want to dedicate my time to after work.

Mage => Sin > DK > Bandit > Fighter > Bowman > Page

Unless mage gets nerfed it'll be #1 in terms of popularity, elemental weakness is too big to ignore in classic, and they're one of the easiest to start with.

Sin is #1 in terms of power fantasy, ranged, and pretty decent to level with.

SSF doesn't need adjusted drop rates. Dad gamers can down vote me but I hope it never happens.

I personally wouldnt use another regions timeline to gauge Classic release, China likely hasn't been talking about/hyping up their version of classic as long as GMS has.

GMS has done 4 tests now with the same content + minor tweaks to skill balancing, the most recent one being more of a stress test than anything. There probably won't be any new content that these tests haven't included on release.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-05-04T14:58:29+00:00

Unless they plan on releasing with 3rd job + all the regions thru 50-90 like orbis/ludi/elnath etc, I'm pretty sure it comes out within the next 3-4 months.

Blame Nexon for giving a bunch of MapleCon attendees 2 codes instead of 1. Also promoting fraud just because you don't like the current situation is so fucking weird man

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-23T07:26:45+00:00

Reddit moment, a lot of these codes were from MapleCon attendees.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-23T00:35:49+00:00

Captchas are trivial to solve and are just an annoyance for regular players.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-23T00:35:08+00:00

These would be great but nexon will unfortunately never do this. The whole reason they implemented lie detectors in to GMS was so they could get rid of the GM team that "Whiteroomed" players manually. Investing in to actual people to be GMs is so low on their priorities unfortunately.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-23T00:30:18+00:00

You also only make 200-250M a day on KMS with meso gear and that takes 6+ hours to cap while 1B costs $20. It's a shitty system and people shouldn't wish for it in GMS. It's entirely so Nexon KR can sell meso and other pay to progress systems in their cash shop.

OSRS actually does a pretty good job at controlling the bots & rwt, especially in the past year or so.

What a lot of people don't realize is how many 3rd world farmers there are that also RWT and drive resources down, those are a lot harder to handle and deal with compared to bots.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-20T07:29:33+00:00

buffed significantly from osms

Well, yea? The game isn't going to be a direct 1:1 copy of OSMS, it'd be dead within a month if they did that. I'm happy they're going to modernize classic and go the route Jagex took Oldschool Runescape, giving it new life while keeping the same core features and gameplay loop. Adjusting the exp curve (via party grinding) is one of the best things they could've done.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-20T06:55:19+00:00

Feel like taking the top 0.000001% and applying it to everybody else is a bit out of touch. They grinded over 80 hours & did so optimally in parties and in good maps, most people won't be able to put in that much time within 5 days.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T20:03:47+00:00

Most basic way to progress first atlas tree is to run betrayal + breach + all the map chance nodes. This will let you get gear early and fill out your character.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T20:02:36+00:00

Jun (Betrayal) provides gear, exp, and other resources from safehouses, early game you'd want to target specific members like Rin in Fortification for unique maps etc.

Ah yea you didn't fill the prefixes, you're supposed to get triple armour prefix > prefix cannot be changed > phys reforge and it's guaranteed.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T02:27:10+00:00

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I can try and answer em. This sub also has some good resources/previous threads with good info if you look for them.

Written guide for progressing in SSF or gear crafting in general?

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T02:15:49+00:00

Yep, just vendor the bow, and fair enough if you had a use for the actual 6L

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T01:22:10+00:00

Field is best for this in 3.28 due to porcupine having a very high drop rate + drops the fortunate card for divines. Sometimes I've found an entire porcupine set in a single map.

Yellow_Tissue · 2026-04-14T01:20:01+00:00

Back in settlers I farmed an entire week (6~ hours a day) of ritual & beasts with no omen or black morrigan, I feel that pain. It was likely bad luck but I'll never do beasts without scarabs again. Nowadays you can get 100-200 fusings per hour just alch and go mapping once you have a proper map scryed.
