I love you more than anything in this world.

As you say yourself, it's a very tight-knot way of bringing everything together. Now newer players can jump into the action with your local high levels hanging around for any question they desire to ask.
 
This new map is a great way of bringing the community together and if it can help you by reducing resources then the more the merrier. If more maps can be cut down like this and put together, I assume it'll be even more beneficial since there's a lot of maps in the game that are huge, but with reoccurring mobs.
 
The only issues with is:
 
-Leviathan Nest's 'Finish' portal. Most people quit the party but if you go through the portal you can be spawned outside I believe, which spawns you in the current Roumen.
 
-Forest of Mist NPC's (the Temporary Merchants with Stones / Weapons / Skills) should be place next to Grand Master Sean. It's very convenient for those farming Izyel's Tower and grinding nearby.
 
- Name: I believe this new map deserves a unique name. Like "Forest of Beginnings". Which, should be applied to the warp scroll for Roumen and quest dialogs.

If the text is too small or the font is bad I can change it so let me know. D:

This thread is so much win.

I'd like to throw in my supporting factors as well.

 

Leveling is leveling, make it too easy and everyone gets bored, fast.

Make it too hard and most (but not all) lose their motivation and start weighing in the worthwhile of it.

Currently, there's only skill upgrades and bragging rights to be had. I'm overly fortunate that we've at least got SOMETHING as a reward. All I can ask is that things eventually continue to add to the reward list. I know a lot of us squawk about new gear and armor, we aren't joking. A 114 green weapon is the only significant improvement beyond ML gear. If you say "well not everyone is geared in ML's" my rebuttal is that this server has been officially released just short one week of a year now. If you don't have ML's or sufficient armor, you're either brand new or never tried to obtain it somehow. This reboot seems to be designated directly at our older community so I feel like those suggestions should be taken more seriously. Anyone can cap here if they really try, but if you lose more than you gain (post 110 with out leveling HG and Secret Lab) then what was really achieved? In conclusion, the rates and amounts could stay the same but if they do PLEASE offer more than just blank screen mob grinding. Leveling can be fun if it's made to be!

 

I'm not sure how many of us have seen Burning Adealia in it's retail form, but one thing everyone needs to know is that with these files, it cannot be replicated piece by piece. Any time I've ever seen it available on a server it's been tweaked to be completely different and sometimes even drop other things. The possibility to create custom content can only be used with what's already available to staff. Even then it'd need to be tested thoroughly to make sure everything is set the way it's expected. So something like this wouldn't happen overnight, but there could also already be plenty of things in the works that haven't been finished yet.

 

I've been through the luxury of having 25-30 people there to kill Normal Malephar and it be a 5-10 minute raid total. Annnnd I've been there where you're essentially solo'ing it and after about 45 minutes you're awarded a 1 int 2h. The difficulty makes it so that you have to be a somebody to do it. Step by step anyone could build themselves up to do any of these raids. I say that but I still feel like Focalor is a bit over the top. For a gladiator who's geared beyond reasoning, I can actually still be one-shot by it. I was told that it's damage had been nearly halved, but I've seen no difference. Better left to the staff on that one. Noitome was so worthwhile back then, coming back to find out the stat cap was changed for an unknown reason (to me) only made my will to want to kill that stupid thing lessen more.

 

So really, a more entertaining method of leveling, rewards for it, and maybe a better look at our current shared issues with certain world bosses. That seems to be something everyone can agree on, both new and old. I encourage everyone who has an opinion to express it, whether you agree or not. Feedback has always been acknowledged, I don't see it stopping now.

Agreed on most.  I like leveling be a challenge, but at the moment, it's not even a challenge, it's just killing the same easy mob over and over for 10hours... Time consuming, boring, but not hard.
 
I'd rather have something hard to do that compensate with good xp.  For example, New KQ's   ( or old kq's where you'd raise the xp and the strenght of the mobs) 
 
I don't know why you nerfed noit badges stats they were fine before imo.
 
All raids : Most are very boring. Too easy and not requiring any tactic . just  someone tanking, 1-2 cleric and a bunch of ppl hitting.
 
ML HC and focalor are fine    (saw you nerfed focalor a bit. didn't test it)  ML HC actually require people to work together and know what they are doing.  What makes a boss hard isn't the amount of hp he has, it's  how fast he can wipe your entire party..   I'd rather have more raids where you can't just run in and kill everything easily.
 
Never seen an archer auto-attacking od'ing me,  but I'm all for ml mdef reduction.
 
Also waiting for mage mdmg to be buffed.
http://fiesta.core.ms/forums/index.php?/topic/502-magic-blast-nerf/

I wanted to eliminate unnecessary, unused maps and make a small cozy and compact map where everyone can be together.
 
At the moment, there are about 4 maps that can be condensed into 1. These maps are all unnecessarily large and only contain about several different types of mobs. In addition to this, leveling from 1 to 20 is fast so you wiz by those maps in an hour and never go back to them.
 
If I make 1 map for level 1 to 20 and compact everything then not only will new players see each other more often and not only will they see higher level players while leveling but they can meet other players who are also leveling and party up with them. 
 
Removing these maps and mobs will also save resources on the server, possibly reducing lag.
 
Not only that but all of the players will be able to experience a new map, completely re-done with new textures and some new mobs and models. The map will be the new Forest of Tides.
 
I think this will be good and a benefit for everyone.
 
Here is a rough sketch / plan of the map.
 

 
The green area where it says Roumen will contain all of the NPC's from Roumen.
 
I would like your feedback and opinions on this change. This will not interfere with the higher level updates, those will still go on as scheduled.

This is probably top 3 on my biggest no-lifer moments.

But to be honest, it was so worth it.

Got to re-read over a ton of old memories from everyone who's come and gone or still here.

 

Anyways, here are all six snowflakes!

Added Christmas music for Roumen, Elderine, Uruga.
Improved Experience Loss area but it doesn't seem to work for levels 100+. Seems to be an issue with the files themselves, don't think I can fix it.
Added snow to Roumen, Elderine and Uruga.

What's New on Core?
 
Hi everyone! It's been a while since you last saw me and you deserve an explanation. I've been going through some unfortunate personal troubles which left me no time for leisure and so I could not be involved with Core over the summer. It hurts me to see that the player base has dwindled but I am confident that this extraordinary community can be rekindled and I will do all I can to use your feedback to build a server that you, the players, will be eager to return to!
 
Firstly, I'd like to clarify Head Admin FarbodD's message on game updates as it seems to have been misconstrued by some. While it is true that updates have become infrequent, this does not mean that they are completely halted. We work on Core projects whenever our personal lives allow it, and the fact that part of our administrative team has lost motivation and contributes on a more casual basis has strained our ability to produce content.
 
We are working on a big, long-term project that will distinguish us from other Fiesta servers. Because of this, we have established a more realistic approach: updates will be smaller and potentially more frequent. We ask that the community is mindful of this approach when providing feedback on the forums. 
 
Now onto the juicy stuff...

Golden Girls: Core Edition

Going solo on glad you basically have to no-life 110-115. There are barely any active wiz / wls and the ones available already got lvling buddies. Only like 2 people or 2 pts can lvl at a time cuz there are only 2 lvling spots basically (Fogs / Lichs). The requirement exp is ridiculous for soloing, especially without 100% exp cards. Speaking of which, we could use some in mall pls. kthx~

Fixed Advanced Wind Set item effect description and several other descriptions. Changed Life Tap skill to heal you for HP and consume SP. Increased Life Tap cool down to 2 minutes 30 seconds. Fixed Nature's Agility levels 8 and 9. They now give 80 and 100 evasion respectively. Dungeon of Dread should let you lose all of your experience now. Corrected Dispel Field description. Slip away now gives 100% critical rate buff which works but only lasts for 3 seconds. Neutralization skill now stuns your target for 1 second while also neutralizing them for 6 seconds. Piercing Shot now deals disease damage instead of poison. Piercing Shot disease now only lasts for 10 seconds and deals damage every second. Piercing Shot disease special effect has been removed. Fixed Piercing Shot description. Added Wings of Flight mount. Fixed Summon Fairy bug. Wings of Flight:
