KMS ver. 1.2.297 – MapleStory: Black Mage – Gathering of Heroes!
The first patch of the summer update, MapleStory: Black Mage, has been released! The Gathering of Heroes includes the addition of the Maple Alliance outpost, where you can collect Wishes to fight against the Black Mage and changes to make levelling up easier.
EDIT: A new patch, ver. 1.2.298 was been released a couple days later. It included a new World Leap event as well as some game changes (e.g. extended Urus Golden Time). All details are at the end of the post!
KMST ver. 1.2.069 – MapleStory: Black Mage Begins!
Yesterday, Nexon held the offline event, MapleStory: The BLACK to announce this summer’s update, which is now confirmed to be called MapleStory: Black Mage! And not too long afterwards, they released most of the patch contents into KMST!!
The conference began with this cool animated video, called Gathering of Heroes. Almost every MapleStory character was featured!
MapleStory 2018 Summer Showcase: The BLACK!
Nexon has announced a new event, the 2018 MapleStory Showcase for this summer’s update, MapleStory: The BLACK! It will take place at Blue Square in Seoul on June 16 at 3 PM KST.
KMS ver. 1.2.296 – MapleStory’s 15th Anniversary (Pt. 2)!
This new patch contains a few new events for the 15th anniversary but not much else. On the bright side, all of them end on June 20, so that should be when our summer update begins! That means we should be seeing teasers released within the next couple of weeks 🙂
In case you didn’t know already, Nexon commissioned a new webtoon called Black Mage: Origin which tells the backstory of the Black Mage. The secretstorytranslation group is translating it so you can check it out on their blog! The last webtoon was about Illium, the Lef race, and Darmoor. After the end of the Esfera storyline, it seems this summer will definitely revolve around the Black Mage himself!
MapleStory’s 15th Anniversary – Game World’s Orchestra & Maple Art Balloon Project!
In addition to the in-game events for MapleStory’s 15th anniversary, Nexon has held a few events in Korea to celebrate the game’s birthday!
This video is the Game World’s Orchestra – MapleStory, a performance held at the Seoul Arts Center on May 4. They played 25 songs, split into 4 chapters.
KMS ver. 1.2.295 – MapleStory’s 15th Anniversary!
It’s been 15 years of MapleStory! This year, the events are centred around Maple 15th Street, a special area where you can enjoy various events themed around past MapleStory updates and purchase every single past anniversary item!!
MapleStory 2 Update Timeline!
If you live under a rock, you’re probably one of the only people that hasn’t heard of the news, the global version of MapleStory 2 has been announced! The CBT signups are now out and it will begin on May 9.
You guys probably already know I didn’t like MapleStory 2 very much and so my coverage of the game ended pretty quickly haha. However, I’m probably going to try out the global version a bit so I’m really hoping they start with a later version of KMS2. That’s why I’m making this post, a timeline of all of the major updates that KMS2 has received so you know what to look forward to in GMS2!
