    Max, I am Impulse from Maple-News.com, and with the absence of Spadow, I am told from several sources that you are probably one of a handful of people who do this, if you could contact me at mprp12@live.com we can talk about the future of KMS news to the rest of the Maple Community.

    Max,
    I want to thank you for bringing the news on KMS back to people who are unable to translate it themselves, like you said Spadow unfortunately left so we need a new news translator person. I am not one to post comments on a blog, but you are doing a great job, keep up the good work pal, I’ll be coming here for information now, as it gives me a lot of information again, I want to thank you, and goodluck on your blog. ❤

    Hey Max, I play GMS and I’m going to be storing up some scrolls for Mercedes. I was wondering if their weapons are considered 2handed or 1handed(since maples been having tons of events with general scrolls for 1h/2h not specifics)
    Naturally I thought they’d be 2 handed but some people argue that it it’s 1handed(since it only takes up 1 slot in the equip inventory).
    So can you please clear that up for me?

    Hey Max, I have 2 questions: one about kMS, one about blog design.

    1. What happens when you use a cash shop cover on a dual bowgun. Does it say “all weapoons but guns, knucklers, and dual bowguns” or does it show two of the item. Or are there specific ones for dual bowguns.

    2. how do you get only a picture of an orange mushroom in your banner? I wanna put some BannedStory/Went my Way characters in my banner, and I don’t know what the size is either. Would I like make the characters in a program to the right side and then put that on top of the banner and make it PNG? or is there a “insert image into banner” option.

    Please help and thanks for answering! Love your blog, and can’t wait for the Demon Slayer storyline post.

      I think right now the only Cash item that covers dual bowguns is the Sachiel/Janus weapons which just came out, and I’m not sure what they look like, sorry :S

      • August 14, 2011 at 4:02 pm

        Okey doke! Luckily, I’m pretty sure I like the appearance of the dual bowguns (all of them, especially the level 40, 70, and 120 one), so I’ll be fine.

        Question 2: How much is the set that gives the Mercedes hairpiece and cape, and is it permanent? I wanna get it for my Mercedes and it’ll be my main and part of my look.

        Ah, so the black and white wings weren’t out? I wondered why I saw them in GMS and not in the actual game, unless they took it out for a while…

    Now that GMS is start getting close getting Jump patch, there has been a question about Dark Knight new 4th job skill, Dark Imaple. The question is usually revolve around the speed of the this new skill on difference weapon speed. Is it possible to have somebody youtube a Dark Knight running through roughly 2mins for each of the following scenario, it doesn’t have to attack anything, so people can actually count the number of attack per minute.
    1. fast or normal speed weapon doing crusher
    2. slow speed weapon doing crusher
    3. fast or normal speed weapon doing Dark Impale
    4. slow speed weapon doing Dark Impale

    Thank you very much if you can actually help.

    Hi Max, I realy love ur blog and apreciate ur work.
    I have for u 2 questions about ur opinion:
    1) Do u think or know if there is chance that there wil be more game revamp like bigbang and the game will return to the BBB? I mean that they will cancel the the EXP curve and more thing ruined the game?

    2)What do u like more? The old game before the first curve or the modern game after all bigbang and those updates?

    3)Is nexon realy working on a game maplestroty 2 that will still be 2D ?

    Plz answer what do u think even if u dont know

    I was wondering if you can tell me how you make a blog like this. I thought of making one, although I don’t even know what I can make it about. I’m just curious, and also if I ever do find something to blog about I might make something like this.
    Thanks 🙂

    max, do you think you can do me a favor and make a final update page in regards to the thief and pirate revamps. there is alot of confusion as what certain skills do, and this only concerns shadower, but a major question that keeps popping up in gms is how do killing points work and what skills do you use to obtain the points.

      January 25, 2012 at 9:16 pm

      Lotus is not the name of the 5th hero. First of all, that’s Orca (Orchid)’s twin’s name, who is already a member of the Black Wings and featured in the Phantom storyline. Secondly, Lotus is called Su in kMS, and gMS will not change the name of an entire job.

      I don’t think he’ll ever be defeated, haha. And definitely not, even if we defeat him, it will not return to pre Big Bang. It will most likely be a raid you can do more than once anyways, like … every other boss. 😛

    Hey,
    I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but according to people, the Empress boss has been glitched in GMS ever since it’s release (you get kicked upon killing it, whether you are a hacker or not)
    so my questions are.. was it also occurring in KMS? And if so, has it been fixed?

    thanks =[

        A guy just told me that the Empress glitch was resolved come the DS or Ark patch in KMS. I trust your word on this matter more than I’d trust his, since you play there, but then again you didn’t sound too sure about it
        I’ll really appreciate it if you could you verify this with your fellow Maplers and let me know?

    Hm.. I had a question about when they nerfed Phantom, because I’m noticing something in GMS right now, and figured the original thread was too old for this so..
    I was wondering, did they add something to the effect of not being able to assign two skills at the same time that have a similar ability.. like say, damage reductions such as magic guard and power guard? The game won’t let me put those two together now.. but they didn’t have any details about skill changes or etc. in GMS’ patches, so.. yeah~
    Thank you in advance nwn

      So I guess I’m saying the priority of answering this question has been lowered~

    Hi Max. Do you know of any resources online that contain a KO>EN glossary of in-game terms please? I work in localization and have the opportunity to work on MS2 content for Nexon, should I prove myself knowledgeable enough; but even with Korean language skills, having not played the Korean game I want to familiarize myself with terms before receiving the client Translation Memory.

    I want to start off by saying that your blog is amazing! It has helped me prepare for several updates in GMS and has me constantly excited about what’s coming.
    On another note, I would like to put a link to your blog in my own website (that I just started up yesterday), so anyone who visits my site can know what reference(s) I used for some information. I would also like to put links in posts to videos with skill demos (since I don’t know how to record my screen effectively and without cost), so some recommendations to a few Youtube channels to ask (or free screen recorders) would help a lot.

    Hi Max, I am a long term player of Maplestory. The game is my childhood. Unfortunately, GMS has broke down significantly after the Big Bang patch. Therefore, I am thinking about playing KMS, something that is worth my time and investment. If you could, I have a few questions I would like to ask before I start learning Korean to play the game.
    1. Are you Korean who learnt the language as a child or you self-taught Korean to yourself? If it is the 2nd option, how long did it take you?.
    2. How is the community over there? ex: More friendly than toxic? etc.
    3. How difficult is it to fund yourself? ex: Making mesos.
    4. Is it possible for a non-korean player to purchase NX with a foreign credit card?. Thank you for your time and wonderful blog. I hope you receive your response too 🙂 !

      1. I’m not Korean and I’m not fluent in it either haha. If you’ve played MS before it’s pretty simple to pick up on what to do in KMS but it does help to be able to read it since a lot of text is just english words written in Korean.
      2. If you’re not Korean you probably won’t be interacting with any Korean players. The foreigner community has shrunk a lot over the past few years but we have a guild called Century that anyone can join.
      3. Depends on you honestly. You can buy some NX to make it fast or just level up/boss/sell drops in the Auction House to make money. With additional options, you can sell high level equipment/boss equipment with good stats for some money.
      4. Yep, you can buy NX from this site: https://cn-usa.com/?cmd=buy&loc=222059. However, your account has to be verified to charge Nexon Cash.

    Hi Max,

    I came across your website today and was impressed. Your blog has so many great resources and information about MapleStory. I thought your videos were really well done as well!

    As you might already know, Q4 holds the highest earnings potential due to increased Holiday digital advertising spend.

    Typical ad partners are not prepared to take advantage of higher ad spend because they continue serving the same ad placements for ALL users. Ezoic uses AI to provide a customized ad layout (including location and size) for EACH user to your site as the seasons change.

    By partnering with Ezoic, a Google Certified Publishing Partner, you can improve your ad earnings on orangemushroom.net by 50% or more this year.

    Do you have 15 minutes within the next week for a quick chat? I’d love to learn more about your site and see if Ezoic can help. I’m also happy to send more info via email – which would you prefer?

    Cheers from San Diego,

    I think it’s the first time I’ve posted a comment here ever since all the years visting Orange Mushroom. IIRC I got to know your site from back when Big Bang/Chaos update released, but I’ve been playing since just before Cygnus classes released; also I always liked all the details put on every update. Thanks for the consistancy troughout all these years and I’m glad you still stick with us. :’)
    P/D: Waiting for your Len post (I know you said it’s too time consuming, so take your time) and thanks again.

    Dear Max,

    I am looking back at Maplestory after a long time as I clear through my emails (almost 13 years later), some of which are newsletters from the Orange Mushroom Blog.

    I forgot I ever played this game. I forgot how I was so bad at it, I never hit level 200. I kept jumping class to class as F2P, squatting on FM1 spots in Windia – like it meant something.

    But it did teach me how to be comfortable with solitude – I even made my own HS mule. Connection in this game was rare, random and global – but the long soltitude did train me to find joy in the rare occasions where I got to connect with people.

    I thought this blog would be long gone, but it’s still around – with your style of presentation intact. For Nexon, employees come and employees go. But it is highly commendable that you have stuck with this effort for so long, as an outsider who is simply in love with this game.

    The small details matter and if you aren’t already, I think this is something you should be extremely proud of. Keep doing this as long as it continues to make you happy, when it doesn’t feel free to join this rest of us. 

    But please don’t ever take this blog down.
