Spero All of that would be a fine read, if our exp rate was much lower, and there was a need to speed things up for anyone. We have so many accessibility options, that adding a party member just lengthens things. At the rate we can reach 200, you really only need one extra, if anything, and once you pass that level, the game itself allows you to solo. Once again, this is all due to our exp rate. The answer to party play is lowering our exp rate significantly, so that we have a forced reason to consider, because if we do not, then no one will feel obliged to do it.
I always felt a mid exp rate was the answer to a somewhat cooperative environment, but after playing this server, it really sets people apart and allows them to go their own way, without any considerations whatsoever. There's so much value in those quest boards in main, to really push for party play, but everything is just so simple, thanks to gravity turning this game into maple story, that no one would ever consider taking anyone else with them, or spend the time looking.
The accessibility is the issue, the exp rates are the issue, and kro is the issue. This is not a simple matter to discuss, because your short solutions are still not necessary, they are voluntary.
