MIA 2 weeks - Maplestory Private Server?

Author duststar | 10.05.2008 | Category MMORPG, Maplestory, Private Server

I was MIA for 2 weeks, taking a short break but at the same time also doing some personal testing of private maplestory server (Sorry. No links here. But you can google for it.). Yes. I got it running on both linux and windows platform. It was cool. For windows platform, I run it on a 512MB Windows XP SP2 virtual machine. Pretty straight forward setup exactly based on the guide given. For linux platform, I run it on a VPS. There’s tweaking to be done. CPU utilisation is pretty low, however memory consumption was horrifying high, 512MB at least for a small test server.

Here’s some screenshots:

The memory usage is horrifying. More than 512Mb.

Only 1 channel, but you can scale up to full 20 channels if you have the resources.

I am a super GM!

GM’s skill - Full screen dragon roar.

GM’s skill - Full screen dragon roar, part 2.

10,000x EXP rate if you notice, a LVL 120 dragon knight in less than an hour time.

10,000x Meso rate, basically you can adjust the rates anytime, anyhow.

1 billion mesoes - Server-side data are stored in a MySQL database which you have full access.

A NPC used to customise job advancement without questing.

In short, for personal testing, it’s fun. And, you have the power to take control of every game details. But, it is quite boring if there isn’t a strong player base. That’s what makes MMORPG interesting and fun.
