KMS ver. 1.2.403 – MapleStory’s 22nd Anniversary Part 2

May 22, 2025 2 comments

The second part of the MapleStory 22nd Anniversary: Maple University adds weekly minigames, the return of the Dimensional Tower and World’s Best Punch King events, and a summer pre-registration event. In terms of game content, there were just Dimensional Library updates and a full Cash Shop UI reorganization.

The summer update Assemble showcase will take place in a couple of weeks on June 7, and there should be a test server patch on the same day!

KMST ver. 1.2.187 – Dimensional Library Updates & Cash Shop Reorganization

The May test server patch is definitely smaller than the past few months, the main content being updates to the Dimensional Library as well as a full Cash Shop UI reorganization, along with some additional events.

The big thing was during the Maple Now stream where they announced the MapleStory summer showcase and revealed the update name, Assemble!

KMS ver. 1.2.402 – Skill/UI Changes & MapleStory’s 22nd Anniversary: Maple University!

April 17, 2025 21 comments

The MapleStory’s 22nd Anniversary: Maple University event has begun! It’s honestly a little barebones but Changseop said to look forward to the second half in May as they will be adding more. Of course, this patch contains the skill balancing (with additional changes from KMST), the UI reorganization, the new Maple Home system, the updated MVP system, and more.

The next live server patch is on May 21 so we can expect a KMST patch on May 14. They said in the Maple Now that it wouldn’t be as big as this patch, but I’m sure it will still have some interesting content.

KMST ver. 1.2.186 – Huge Skill Changes and UI Reorganization!

April 12, 2025 63 comments

Following up on the March update that surprised everyone with the Star Force reorganization, Director Changseop has followed it up with another huge off season patch (and a Maple Now stream like usual). This time, it was a full skill balancing that changes all classes to 2 minute cycles and updating most of the game’s UIs! It also includes the Maple Home system (KMS’ version of the overseas My Home system) which I’ve been asking for for so many years and a big update to the MVP system.

This patch will be coming to the official server next week which could bring some additional changes. It starts off the MapleStory 22nd anniversary: Maple University, and I’ll cover that event in the next post.

KMS ver. 1.2.401 – MapleStory NEXT: Destiny Weapon & Star Force Reorganization!

March 20, 2025 7 comments

The fourth and final patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new Destiny Weapon system as well as a big update to the Star Force system (mainly being able to reach 30 stars)! Everything basically came as-is from the test server, except for a bit of changes to the values of the Adversary’s Resolve drops from bosses for the Destiny Weapon missions.

Next month is MapleStory’s 22nd anniversary, the live server patch will be on April 17 and the test server patch will probably be on April 10. It’s also going to be the first patch with brand new content that wasn’t covered by the NEXT showcase.
