Talk:MapleStory

Items Page
Just checking, but should the Items page(s) be continued? I've had mixed opinions on it. Check it here. It will look better sooner, I hope.
 * I saw it. you might want to sign your comments btw. i'm not sure it's a good idea. it'll basically just be a humongous list of pictures. Can't put much info for most of the items. Maybe if you wanted to do just event items or something, but listing every item in the game seems like a waste of space to me. IsaacGS 21:57, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * lol, this is so noobish, how do I sign comments?

Title
It was moved as per wikipedia:Talk:MapleStory. Enochlau 14:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC) Im copying the text from there to here for reference sake.... --Prod-You 04:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Should this be called MapleStory instead? On the game's website, it's always spelt without the space, and staff sign with "MapleStory staff" on the news. Enochlau 06:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yea you are right. I looked through the website and it always refers to it as MapleStory.  One thing to consider before changing the name is that the wikibooks link probably will break if the name is changed -- Prod-Me 12:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That should be ok - we should be able to move the wikibooks article, or failing that, put a redirect in place. Enochlau 14:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. Enochlau 14:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Armor and Weapon pages
As was said a while ago, it would be pointless for this book to turn into a hidden street or sauna, so lets try to do something different. My view is that these pages should have recommendations of which items to get and when. Perhaps even to be merged into one "shopping" page or something since they are fairly closely linked. -- Prod-You 06:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There are a few pages with listings of armors and weapons from the game which can be found linked from MapleStory/Items. All of this info can be found on Hidden-Street and Sauna already.  Initially this stuff should be moved to the specific class section(s) that would need to wear those items.  However, we should move towards discussing the advantages and disadvantages of wearing certain items.  Perhaps a guide to which armors to buy and when, based on amount of money, and enemy trained on.  --Prod-You 06:42, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I moved most of the info to the MapleStory/Beginner Guide/Armor page since they are mainly beginner items. Those lists need to be cut down so that only the important items are included, rather than everything (which is already covered nicely on hidden street).  Also got rid of the items link from the main TOC. -- Prod-You 01:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking of merging the Armor and Weapons pages into an Equipment page, and moving all the equip guides to those pages. I'm thinking that the main job pages should only be for training locations and discussions about the classes. -- Prod (Talk) 23:32, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Unused images
I'm not going to list them all here (because there are hundreds of them), but Special:Unusedimages is full of MapleStory images, and it might be a good idea to get them used in the MapleStory guide before duplicates get uploaded. --DrBob (Talk) 07:17, 27 January 2007 (CST)
 * Some already have been duplicated. The rest are skills that should go on the guide pages... a section that's been fairly neglected as of late :X We'll work on it some. IsaacGS 20:48, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Actually, I don't think any have been duplicated. I made sure I only uploaded one of each (based on checksums).  It's taking a little while to use them as there is a lot of content on the pages.  So far I've finished the Beginner, Warrior, and Magician pages.  Next is Thief since Bowman may take some rearranging. -- Prod (Talk) 00:36, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Amoria
Talk:MapleStory/Towns/Amoria I put it there, but i'm not sure anyone would see it. not sure it'll be seen here, but i figured this is more often viewed.IsaacGS 20:44, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Congrats on your wedding :P. One pic should be good enough. -- Prod (Talk) 23:58, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Quests page
I split it up according to locations. I think Omega Sector and Ludi quests should be combined into one level list. When KFT comes out in Global, it'll go there too. Riprey, Wuling, and Hundred grass can go on a separate page, and all the Original areas too. Perhaps break Victoria Island down into high level quests, and low level quests. IsaacGS 22:16, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * I renamed the Orbis/Ludi to East and West Ossyria (based on the direction the train seems to go). I think you're right about merging Ludi/Omega Sector, since it's already done for the other places.  It might also be useful to add a complete quests list to the main MapleStory/Quests page, similar to the monsters list.  Perhaps a Maple Island list at the beginning, then sections by level, with columns for each continent. -- Prod (Talk) 23:48, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Towns
The info from the "old page" needs to be merged into the separate towns pages. The header in the toc also needs a major clean up. It might actually be better to merge them into a few island pages, similar to the way the quests are split up, since each page on its own is fairly small. -- Prod (Talk) 23:48, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * It might be sufficient to create a page for each island that links to the towns on that continent. Maybe even have the towns pop up in the TOC like they do now, but only those on the proper island. what do you think?IsaacGS 20:41, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * I'm somewhat undecided, since each island has very little information apart from "it has these towns" if all the info goes on the specific towns pages. I was thinking, we leave all the transportation/icons on the main page, with links to Maple Island, Victoria Island, East Ossyria Island, West Ossyria Island and Marriage Towns in the All Game Nav.  Then have all the towns in each Island on their page.  Come to think of it, perhaps we should put the transportation stuff on each world page, and use the icons table as a form of Table of Contents to the other pages (like the Character classes table for the jobs).  I can take care of getting the pages set up, I'll just need help cleanup up the pages after. -- Prod (Talk) 22:37, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * Sounds good to me. Eventually though we'll have to integrate new towns like the Wuling/hundred grass island and Riprey. Also the original areas, as GMs continually drop hints that a global original area is on the way. IsaacGS 13:55, 9 March 2007 (CST)
 * Someone created Coke town, Adventurer Course, and i created an Herb Town page. all the towns now have their own pages, and i watched several videos of them to get a feel for the areas in the write-ups. Most of them are fairly long. Time to clear the main page. Another point: Should we use Wikipedia's Version Content page on here as well? it might help clarify what towns are available or unavailable. IsaacGS 20:00, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I created the Coke town and the Adventurer Course pages. - Wkkim9292 22:17, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I think that we should put the new Versions template on the main Towns page, along with the icons. In fact, i think we should combine the two templates by putting each icon next to the appropriate town in the Versions chart. That gives that page a purpose, and provides the launching point for each of the individual town's pages. Not to mention it'll allow the removal of those "This town is available in *version* only.* from each page. Now that it's on here, I also think it's fit to be expanded. IsaacGS 16:53, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I was thinking the same thing. The only problem is that it has all sorts of other information as well.  Maybe it needs to be split up into multiple templates?  -- Prod (Talk) 17:26, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * yeah. Maybe remove features and just leave the towns and areas. I'm gonna look at it now and see what can be done with it. IsaacGS 19:22, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I did a mock-up of the new tables on my user page. I added a few other areas with incomplete availability as well. Check it out and tell me what you think. IsaacGS 20:02, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Is the Versions Content going to be put on the MapleStory page? - Wkkim9292 23:23, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * At some point. We're trying to decide how to do it right now. IsaacGS 13:45, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

I would prefer if we could find a place to keep the whole table together, to show an overall comparison of the versions, perhaps the patches page. I think that we should probably merge the Minigames and Other features templates. The locations stuff from this template should be merged with the location images and info from the /Towns page, and extra boxes added to show that they are in all versions. Also, the tables only need one heading each (I prefer the smaller ones, what do you think?). Finally, what are we going to name them all? Template:MapleStory/Versions/Areas or Template:MapleStory/Version area availability (Accompaniments, Jobs, and Other for the remaining groups). -- Prod (Talk) 17:54, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

That's KMS' new town in the April patch. pretty cool. IsaacGS 18:34, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

GM events
Can/should we include these on here? a while back i had the opportunity to do a few different kinds of GM events, have some screenshots to go with it. They're all different, some operate like PQs, and others don't. IsaacGS 22:31, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Do you mean that a page about the GM events should be created? It would be good if something about the GM Event is included. - Wkkim9292 02:44, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, that's what I meant. Something like the Quests page, but geared toward GM events. IsaacGS 14:33, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * How do you think about creating a page MapleStory/Quests/GM Events? - Wkkim9292 15:48, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Sounds good to me, maybe wait for a few more people to weigh in. My pics are of the Ola Ola event and coconut collecting. If anyone else has screens of different events that would help. IsaacGS 17:47, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

Coke Town no longer available in KMS.
I was wondering if we should change the town availability table for Coke Town from "Exclusive" on KMS to something else, since KMS doesn't have it anymore. We could either take Coke town completely off the chart, or put something like "Exclusive (Retired)" or simply just change it to "No"?. Any ideas? -- Takiten 00:17, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I like retired. maybe there should be another section called "Limited Availability" which would have Happyville and coke Town in it? IsaacGS 13:41, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

Ludi Maze PQ
I heard this is now in KMS. is that true? or is it coming with the april patch? IsaacGS 20:59, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Did you see this from the old town/areas template at wikipedia? Someone marked it as yes, but it was false, and reverted. -- Takiten 21:59, 3 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, that's where i saw it i believe. Ok. Hopefully i'll be able to get some info on it soon. -- IsaacGS 22:01, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

FAQ section
Man, that thing is a nightmare. I put a warning at the top that it's not a talk page. I tried fixing it, there was SO many spelling errors and a lot of incorrect information. It's in need of a complete rewrite or possible removal. In addition, I was wondering if we should create a "Pets/mounts" page, as there's quite a few of them and in some versions they have innate differences in skills and such. IsaacGS 00:15, 31 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Well thanks for cleaning up the page. Pets/mounts page would be useful considering we're getting those mounts in GMS soon. I guess everyone was too lazy to figure out what to include and exclude. This includes me. GameFreak 03:12, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

EuropeMS patch v0.22. (Big Update)
Anyone hear play EuropeMS? I heard they got a huge 220+ MB patch, and released a whole slew of things, including Adventurer Training Course, possibly Aqua Road, possibly Omega Sector, possibly Perion Excavation Site and Ruins, possibly Henesys Party Quest, possibly Sharenian Guild Quest, and inside the data, they have Leafre and Zipangu (not released yet). Most of these are unconfirmed, so we need someone to actually check this out. The patch notes revealed nothing. They also got placeholders for the World Tour Guide NPCs, and the Maple Home Delivery Trucks, without the NPC. Also Beginner Skills are confirmed, and Sign Posts in the towns. -- Takiten 11:50, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * The adventurer training course is confirmed. Perion Excavation Site is on the Victoria world map, but not released yet. I've seen a screenshot of the Henesys PQ NPC, but people say it says nothing when you click on him/her, so not sure if Henesys PQ is released yet. Since characters where wiped, I guess this is going to take awhile for people to find all the new stuff added in this version. -- Takiten 12:17, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, i was just looking at all this too. Wow, who'd have though when we were kidding that EMS would pass global, it'd end up being true. >_> IsaacGS 13:38, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Looks like the "Adventure Training Course" name in English is "Mushroom Town Training Camp"... Should we change it? -- Takiten 14:38, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, I think it is good to be changed. - Wkkim9292 21:40, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
