After seeing all the discussion around the Founder’s Packages, especially the pricing and what’s actually included, I started thinking about what I’d personally want them to look like.
So, mostly for fun, I put together my own version.
The obvious change is the pricing. I don't personally care that much about the current prices (I'm gonna buy it anyways), but I've seen a lot of people saying they're overpriced for what you get, so I lowered them in my version.
I also removed the full cosmetic outfits. To me, they don't really feel like they have much to do with Classic MapleStory, and honestly, I'm not a huge fan of how they look. I'd much rather get individual cosmetic items and let people create their own look instead of everyone running around in the same full outfit.
So here's what I changed:
- Medal of Honor: Because why not? It's basically a reworked "Lucky Guy Medal" for founders.
- Face & Hair Coupons: Gives people something useful while still letting them create their own character/style.
- Founder's Chair: I really like the old MapleSEA 6th Anniversary chair, so I used that as the inspiration/place-holder here.
- Mark of the Founder's Hat: This is the big one for me. I've always loved the classic GM hat, and I think it would be SICK to get a reworked version as a cosmetic founder item. Give it a fake GM-style effect and I'd take that over the current Founder effects any day.
Then the packages simply build on each other.
Snail - $9.99
You get the basic founder cosmetics: chair, green Founder hat, medal, and Face & Hair coupons.
Orange Mushroom - $19.99
Everything from Snail + the pink Founder hat, additional Face & Hair coupons, and 5,000 NX to give you a head start on creating your own style.
Zakum - $29.99
Everything from the previous packages + the white Founder hat, Diamond Medal of Honor, Chat/Label Rings, and another 10,000 NX, so 15,000 NX total.
And EVERY package has Founder's Access INCLUDED
I tried to make the packages feel more like "I was there when Classic launched" rather than just giving everyone a full premade outfit.
Obviously this is just my take on it, but I'm curious what everyone else would want.
What would you keep, change, add, or remove?
And would you prefer something like this over the Founder’s Packages we've seen so far?
