kMS ver. 1.2.210 – You & I Thank You!
So I guess there’s no surprise 4th (5th?) patch for You & I, as this patch released the You & I Thank You events. Oh and there’s a couple of new teasers from MapleStory 2, including the poster above (which was released for Insoya.com’s 10th birthday)!
The art looks really good in my opinion, could those be four classes which will be use in MapleStory 2?
Hi, I’m Nemi from the MapleStory 2 planning team. I hope you aren’t bored waiting for MapleStory 2 with the teaser site.
I was part of a company called Wizet in 2001, on the planning team for MapleStory until 2006. Now, myself and the crew that was involved in the early years of MapleStory have become pivotal in the development of MapleStory 2. It will take place in an earlier time period than our previous work’s world with a new story, thrilling battles, and a feel similar to early MapleStory. You’ll find yourself with a fun-filled casual MMORPG.
MapleStory 2 will be coming in the future and we ask for your continued interest and support while we work to release it~!
One more teaser picture, this one was a message from the MapleStory 2 planning team.
Season 2 of the Cash Wardrobe Item Moving event has begun and will run until February 27!
Like last time, just put your items into your Cash item storage, right click and choose which character’s storage you would like to move your item to! This can be done an unlimited number of times to any item during the event period.
The You & I Thank You event has begun and takes place on Saturdays (February 8, 15, and 22) from 10am to 10pm. Log in on the website during this time to claim your free prizes!
Each day you’ll get a Lucky Box with a different set of items. They all give 500 Scroll Traces and a 7 day Teleport Rock, but the one from February 8 gives a Rhinne’s Blessing effect, the 15th’s one gives a Pink Bean Box which can give various Pink Bean items, and the last gives a 50% Innocent Scroll.
You’ll also get 2,500 Mileage with each of these boxes, yay more Mileage to buy free cubes with!
The You & I Thank You Burning Time event has begun and will run until February 26.
Basically, over the course of the month there will be various events at certain times! You can look at the schedule above for specific dates and times, but I’ll explain what happens during them.
A blue box indicates 2x experience. A purple box indicates Elite Monster Burning Time, which is when the chance of an Elite Monster appearing is doubled!
Finally the yellow box indicates a Scroll Trace Fever Time! During this, all scrolls which are made through Scroll Traces have their success rates increased! A 15% scroll will become 25%, 30% to 45%, 70% to 95%, and 100% will stay the same.
Finally, the 11th annual Star Star Festival has begun and will run until February 19! For those of you who don’t know, this is one of my favourite kMS events! Basically, just log on and hold an item for 30 minutes to receive a stamp (up to 5 times per day, if you miss days you can catch up, the limit is cumulative).
You can then use these stamps to get awesome prizes! Note: each of the following opens at a different time and has a limit of how many people can get them, except for the last few which become a lottery draw instead of just giving you the item if you have enough stamps.
- U&I Star Star Box (3 stamps, no limit)
- 300 Scroll Traces (5 stamps, no limit)
- 7 day Pendant of the Spirit (10 stamps, limit of 50,000)

- LG Electronics Notebook (i3/4G) (10 stamps, 2 winners)
Yep so basically any character who gets 60 stamps or more by the end of the event gets a free Petite Lang pet!
Oh and the new February Royal hairs are now out. The last one for males and second last one for females are actually alternate hairstyles for Alpha and Beta, I think they look pretty good!
Not much to see.. So Max, no news about the Aran and Resistance revamp? Also are you planning on playing MapleStory 2 when it comes out? Thanks in advance, and take care Max haha hope you’re doing well.
g
Nope nothing yet 😛 Hopefully yes! If a beta comes out I’ll definitely try to get in haha.
Thanks, you too 🙂
Yo max! I thought you said you couldn’t customize zero during creation? What’s with the “alternate” alpha and beta’s hairs?
You can’t get those during creation, they’re just new hairs called ‘Alpha hair’ and ‘Beta hair’ that you can get from the Royal Hair Coupons.
maplestory 2 looks dank
Alpha’s hair looks like it’s from an idol manga or something. It’s cute but seems so out of character. …It is the last one right?
Yeah the pink one
Well, still hoping GMS actually includes the CS moving thing. I’m willing to bet they’re afraid to do that.
honestly when is there gonna be an item to make certain cash items perm like bonus pendant or pet snacks. or the pet itself.
I’m not liking the poster. Something about the art.
I think they’d get more money if they’d do things the Dragon Nest way. Slightly less money off of each person but way more active players.
This has got to be first time i’m seeing male character get long hairstyle that isn’t tied to a set of batwings (demon) or looking totaly ugly (greasy tristan or that rockstar one). Quite effeminite so not perfect, but still best of very few options for long haired maple males.
Looking forward to some long, barbaric style with some side braids/tails. Kinda like king grayskull from He-man 2003 had.
Oh and i’m not seeing good future for MapleStory 2. The point of MapleStory was 2d, including beautiful hand-drawn hairstyles that 3d just can’t copy. As for team that’s responsible for maplestory till 2006, dear lord no. I can still remember pre bb gallery of useless skills that were pure waste of space, complete inbalance (you play assasins, “se mules” or wth are you doing at a boss run), and game “balance” (bishops fastest trainers, dks only warrior class that mattered etc).
Well you asked for old maplestory back and you might just get that, with shitty low-grade 3d graphics, fossilized gameplay, and probably worse game balance and character playstyles then original ms, and that there, is quite an achievement. Hope i’m wrong, but something tells me that phone is gonna get picked, cause i sure called it!
Dude why do you assume so much? Just chill… you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.
during the event period.
nope we want it to be perma
shet 1m maple points – –
Again and again…no Blaze Wizard or Night Walker revamp… so disappointing..
5th job??????????????????
has it already been 2 years since the first cygnus revamp in korea? O_O damn
first male royal hair…i’m gonna make inuyasha
For the lang pet, do you need 60 unused stamps total, or can they be used?
Not sure, I think it would be total.
WHAAAT 1 MILLION MAPLE POINTS O.O?????????
wow…So many good things and I like that Maple 2 picture and that chibi Admin….So the CS sharing has begun….This has to come to GMS fast.
Great updates
“a feel similar to early MapleStory”
but early maplestory was a godawful soul-crushing grind that lead to having generally three groups of players: no-lifers who got strong and mocked everyone else, people who sat in henesys chatting, and people who quit, and the game’s plotlines had to be sought with a microscope. why would you want to recover THAT feel?
for all it’s flaws, the current maplestory is a lot better than it’s early years.
The maplestory 2 poster is interesting. Cygnus (or some empress) is in it, and deep in the background looks like Mihile, which could mean the thief is Eckhart. Could Bella and the Warrior be the “mentors” of the respective two?
