Scania (GMS)

NOTE: This article is a stub. Please help MapleWiki by contributing to this article.

Note: Korean MapleStory also has a world named Scania. This article is for the MapleGlobal Scania, and should not be confused with the Korean world.

Scania was the first non-beta world made available in the MapleGlobal version of MapleStory. As a result, it has a thriving economy and a very large population. This high population, however, sometimes makes Scania difficult or even impossible to access during peak times, such as after school hours and during the weekends. Even during off peak hours, Scania has many users online, most of which like to hang out on channels 1 and 2. It is advised to those with slow internet connections or low RAM to avoid those channels.

Economy: Scania has a very well established economy as it is the oldest server on MapleGlobal, and there is usually never a problem with getting something you want aside from the problems encountered from not being able to find the character you want to trade with and immense lag time due to the high population.

As Scania is considered to be home of the most experienced and seasoned Maple veterans, beginners are advised to start here. Be warned, however, that with such a large population of aged members comes a proportionally large community of scammers and hackers.

Notes

Channel 1 always has the heaviest population; it is mainly used to recruit members for Party Quests. Many do all their trading and chatting here as well.

Channel 8 is often the least populated.

The server is infamous for its history of being full during peaktimes. Throughout 2005 until 2007, it was never uncommon for the server to reach peak capacity, especially during the summer. However since 2007, the server has rarely had such problems. Instead it has had a number of rollbacks, caused by numerous glitches that seem to infest this particular server more than others. Since 2006 the server has also had a history of crashing, and going down for a random amount of hours.
