thread_title:  General guidelines 

message: I'm considering a section on popular character name fragment fads such as "azn" (for Asian, although this is believed to frequently be used by non-Asians), "viet" (Vietnamese, also probably a false indicator of nationality), "SSJ" (Super Saiya-jin from the Dragonball manga/anime), "Sin" (assassin), and others. I'm a little hesitant since the same fads certainly crop up in other MMOGs - or any type of online community, for that matter. Let me know what you guys think and where (if at all) this kind of topic belongs. The Trashman 07:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I have semi-protected it because I think this page has seen way more than its fair share of anon vandalism. When you go and edit the page, it says "WARNING: This page has been locked so that only administrators can edit it. Be sure you are following the protected page guidelines.", but if the edit box is white and not grey, then you are able to edit the article; the warning is a little misleading. enochlau (talk) 00:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Should we actually explain what jump quests are under Quests? It says "all jump quests are repeatable with random rewards", but it never actually explains what they are. Should there be information added about them? --Bobadot 20:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Jumping quests are a very unique thing to MS, so i think they should have something written about them.  I started off a small section, feel free to edit it. -- Prod-You 05:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have expanded this a lot under the IP of 72.234.76.209 (forgot to login). If it's a bit too much to be considered general for the article, feel free to edit it. -- Kalani 00:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are people changing the names for F6 and F7? The official names are Confused and What the...? respectively. As straight from  the MapleSea website. I have changed them back. However, if anyone can find any conflicting evidence, please do tell. --Bobadot 02:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All right, I've added an "unofficial names" thing below the official names. If you must change the name, change these ones. Because the official names are above them, and they should not be renamed. Maybe you call F5 Insane, but that's unofficial. --Bobadot 06:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cleaned that up a bit, hope you like it. -- Prod-You 07:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Like it? I love it! You're the first person to change the section - besides me - since I added the official names NOT to change them! Though Notes is a little unclear. What about, say, Nicknames instead of Notes? --Bobadot 08:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, i just put notes cause thats what the last page i was looking at used.  Perhaps common uses or something? i dunno.  Give it a day and most of the other common editors should see it. -- Prod-You 09:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I changed it to Nicknames. That should be good enough. --Bobadot 18:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emotions 

message: I don't really know but my friend said you can play with other people in different versions, like people from Maple Global can play from people who downloaded it from Thai. Is that really true??
:AFAIK, you can play with people on other versions, but you have to download the client for those versions.  The client contains all the quest, enemy, item, etc. info and as the other non-global versions have more there would be obvious conflicts.  I remember my bro tried out the Japan version.  He had to download the Japan client, and everything was in japanese.  Also, most certainly you will have to create a new account through the website to play on other servers since accounts arent shared. -- Prod-You 05:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, you definitely need to get a seperate account and the game client for the version you wish to play at. --212.149.182.99 09:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I heard you might need a SIN equivalent to play on kMS. Also some location restrictions, as in the server wont allow you to connect. DL the client and try it. You should understand the language though. 69.192.111.9 13:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I just went ahead and removed every image of a screenshot that has someone's in-game name displayed in the picture. The reason for this is because I don't want this article to turn into another popularity contest. People start adding screenshots of themselves "in action", and it does nothing to help the article, it only makes other people more willing to add pictures of themselves as well, then others add themselves and it continues on in a cycle. I also added a blank tag warning users not to add any screenshots with their or other's in-game nick's in the picture to this article. Discuss here. --Antoshi~! T | C 03:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I brought back the pictures.  There hasn't been that much trouble on this page with people putting their better pictures since most pictures right now demonstrate something.  Getting rid of all the pictures just because they have a name is too broad ranging and we would lose a few good pictures.  Some of the pictures could actually be improved and the only way to hint at that is to have the pictures.  We just have to stick by reverting useless changes to pictures. -- Prod-You 05:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize, Prod, I realize that you're an active contributing member to this article, but I feel as though I have to challenge your revert. As I said before, these pictures are for the most part self-promotion. Anyone can place a screenshot of themselves and deem it "educational." I feel as though there's plenty of pictures already, and they're all apparently in the Monsters section. A better idea, to keep these screenshots, while elimination self-promoting is to "blank out" the names of the characters in the screenshots. I feel that an Admin may have to be called in to resolve this dispute. --Antoshi~! T | C 19:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen you around a bunch too, and no need to apologize, everyone's say is equal (cept for vandals).  For now, only one person has tried putting their pic in (and it was actually a useless pic since all you could see was some skill covering everything).  About blanking out names, I feel that unless its done well, it looks kinda ugly.  For example the first gameplay image, apart from the weird combination of sunglasses and helm, the blanking out of the name looks out of place.  Oddly enough, this image without a name was the one to get changed :P.  Perhaps, instead of restricting access, we have a section here of "Requested Screenshots" which discusses which images are need, which need improvement, etc.  Any other image changes are rejected. And an admin isn't really needed, we just need more active contributors to add their say. -- Prod-You 19:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing is really being shown off in the screenshots without blanked names. In the Character Classes section, yes, everyone is showing off. But most of them are just screenshots to help the article. However, I would like a requested screenshots section. --Bobadot 00:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Now, there is a new class called the "super-beginner", and is exclusive to MapleSEA. They don't have a lot of information about them currently.
:I have seen the maplesea website, they did an entire announcement on it. However, I am tempted to say it is an April's Fool joke. I need verification. Until then, I am removing the section on it. Typer525 03:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I HIGHLY doubt this.  Google got me nothing about it.  Also, according to that the first version is the US version which I highly doubt from Nexon being a Korean company.  Also, something that isn't "common knowledge" shouldn't be on here without proper references. I've gotten rid of it until there is proof. -- Prod-You 04:50, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, good point. I why go to version 2 when the game is not even version 1? Isn't it at version .21??Typer525 Contact 14:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
