Disclaimer: First of all this post is not meant to be a complaint to demean the effort of GMs and devs.

I've played MAXKO like 10 years ago (before change to Titan) and i quit because all my stuff got deleted and one of mods was an a**hole when i reported the issue in the forum's chat (not gonna say who), after returning to active KO by end of '22 i decided to come back here this year and check what's going on and i found it's almost empty (we went from hundreds to just 7 or less).

So this is what i think this server is missing (it's gonna be somehow long, i apologize in advance), i'd appreciate if you can read to the end. Thank you.

===============

>About levels and XP:

-I can say it's a normal thing, for my personal taste most servers should start at lvl 49-50 in order to make an Ardream/DLW zones and events which will be more interesting (i suggest lvl 50 DLW, lvl 59 is unbalanced).

Conclusion: You should add a low level zone, starting gear should be modified for that, jewelry should also be high level limited, i know it's not easy

===============

>About starting gear:

-It was really good to have an old tier sword in my hands and get to level up with it, it's good enough to start farming but the lack of people makes it an impossible task.

Conclusion: This is fine but i guess in order to have ardream zone a NPC to reclaim starting gear should be added.

===============

>About people:

-For a long time most of us had issues with turks going around and not adapting to a universal language, being toxic and using hacks/cheats, i don't know if the server decided to ban turkey but i remember most of active players were from turkey, server was really full of people in the past even more than some USKO servers.

Conclusion: IF it's your policy to keep some countries away. i will not argue at all but remember there's always a way to stop cheaters no matter where they come from.

===============

>About market

-I've noticed the few people i found when i joined were still selling stuff for coins, in many servers today it's completely obsolete. Most servers today use cash as unique currency, which benefits both server and player equally.

Conclusion: Adding a cash unique currency will also help to move on, GMs would be able to sell kc for $ and have some fair reward to their work (i suggest only KC to be sold, not items... don't do that).

===============

>About "what to do"

-Collection race is one of the things that keeps alive most servers today, even with stupid rewards players find something to do, a mission, a goal with 50 minutes time limit to earn 100-150 kc for savings as the unique way to get KC (besides selling and buying from GMs), without CR there's nothing for people to do, PK is not interesting anymore if there's no reward.

Conclusion: I've seen some kind of collection race but it doesn't seem attractive, maybe because of server version. If you could adapt it to this server it will get some people back.

===============

>About farming:

-Sadly lack of people makes impossible for a new guy to farm on his own and get good stuff, i think at some point everything is fine with farming but a new player will never accomplish good things if he has nobody to help him.

Conclusion: There's nothing else to say about this.

===============

>About items:

-I have to say, the most disappointing thing i found when i returned is that the top armors are just ordinary def+basic bonus and all of them are the same!!!

Conclusion: Armors like Rosetta/Hero and beyond SHOULD HAVE all bonuses they originally have, that's what makes them special, it's maybe not available on the current game version but believe me, it's really necessary. KO can't be played "TO THE MAX" without that.

===============

>About graphics:

-Game runs smooth and fast with no issues but come on, it's 2023 and we have a lot of improvements around and i think we all have a PC strong enough to run KO with better graphics.

Conclusion: This may require to update version to 20xx, 22xx or 23xx maybe... but it worth it!!!

===============

>About the whole thing:

-To me, this has been the best unofficial server i've been in and it's really bad to see how things are today, the GM and devs keep doing their job even when there's no people around and i don't think it's a waste; however i think you should adapt to what players currently like to do in a server and what would keep them playing even if they don't achieve great things.

Conclusion: I've read the chat and someone said "it's a test/beta server" and i said "really"? this server is still ranked in top private server sites, it's in the memory of many players and still on after many years, how is this a beta? lol

There's a lot to do, a lot to fix and a lot to improve and as i said it's not easy but it's also not impossible.

Maybe you'll want to take my feedback as a positive thing or maybe not, i'm just trying to help because of the good memories i have from being a player on this server until the day all my stuff was deleted lmao.

I'll be looking forward to see if this server can return to the top and be the best KO experience so far.

Thanks to those who read my post, sorry if you disagree with most of the things i wrote, i respect your opinion.

PS: If you think you should wipe all server and start over, just do it. You've done it before...

hello i try to explain u some things about maxko sorry for the bad english

1. the first thing that u have to know is that we have 2 restart the last is around 10 years u r not the 1st guy that ask for recover his old items, but is not posible all users start of 0, u only have in your old account the kc that u have the last time that u log before u leave that probably is not more or nothing maybe

2.the second thing is that we have a new version that we call 1.2, we have problems with bugs but Flegy is fixed the more fast that he can coz he have big projects that have priority remember maxko is a free game, just today he fix the principal bugs for join to ft again and for receive np when u r in party coz just the party leader receive and others

3. ardream event here is different we dont use lv 59 just we use lv 85 for all events, our ardream map is small not same that usko or other ps

4. over the items we have a limited basic items that is easy for farm but if u want the own server items u have to play a lot for receive kc in pk daily quest achievments or u can buy in pus if u havent time

5. over toxic players and cheaters all servers have this ppl, and maxko 1.2 have a new cheat engine that blocks many of the cheats macros, koxp, minor programs and others, and maxko dont tolerate cheaters

6. about the merchant i repeat this u can use the pus if u havent time, u have many achievments where u win free kc when u finish each of them (more of 3000 kc in total), in cz u have big mobs that drop maxko items and kc vouchers (5 kc) too and the dayly quest

7. over farming u will farm with easy and hard monster summon scrolls u have to check the forum guides and look the news there too, if u want search items u can use the search tool in the website

8. about the items maxko is different that other servers if u see the default bonus items are different of the usko and not only that all the events are different or with changes too

9. over graphics many players here havent good pcs or laptops with one of the last clients make that they can play correctly and have many lags and freeze and other reason is flegy dont want put a last client too, this is a old topic that many ppl try to change but trust me thats never happen

P.D. i recommend u read the forum coz its obvious that u dont play long time and u need to update here and i invite u to join to maxko discord u can find the link in the forum too and there u can find players and gms more easy for receive help all depend of his time and for finish the GM who make u an awkward moment is not more here, a apology for that

Well, i typed a long response and i got 503 error when i submitted... so i'll be short.

1. I have zero issues about my current account's level or equipment, there's nothing else for me to accomplish in an empty place, hype is gone already, i'm sorry if it doesn't sound nice but i'm not gonna lie.

2. I mean no disrespect but your answers sound like you like things the way they are now but as you can see, it's not working.

3. Monster Hard Summon farming has been the saddest experience of this server so far, KO was supposed to be a co-op boss farming game, there's no excitement or challenge on having stuff that way.

4. I care a lot to type this much because this is supposed to be innovative, outstanding and THE BEST of all servers and i believe it DESERVES a new chance to be back on top. I could keep playing in other server and just leave, but how could i explain this? IT'S MAXKO, come on....

5. My post is an open letter for Flegy and whoever are running everything, their effort and the time they spent running the server can't be in vain.

I'm not interested on discussing this on Discord and start an argument with guys who disagree, i just put it on the place the people i'm trying to reach can read it.

IF MAXKO gets fixed, people will start coming back, players like me will be back and we will bring more people with us, that's how it works.

PS: Finally, i've tested everything that needs to be tested before posting, this is not a "first impression" review, there's nothing else for me to read around here since the amount of posts, pages and info are all together and mixed with other stuff. Please consider stop relying on forums, people and specially younger players are more practical these days.

I understand what you are saying but as I repeat, it is a matter of time and patience, we currently do not have a developer and Flegy does everything in that area alone and I repeat again there are large projects which cannot be neglected and it is understandable, that of a newer client There will not happen or a new server restart and the changes that you mentioned too coz MaxKO is different of other servers, precisely for this is still active for so many years, it is currently going through a process of upgrade that takes time and worse when there is only a person to solve those problems, believe me that I would like everything about the standard KO here
