KMS ver. 1.2.394 – Fall 1st Update: Epic Dungeon – Angler Company!

The MapleStory landing page calls this the ‘Fall 1st Update’ even though fall doesn’t start until near the end of September… Anyways, this patch contains the new Epic Dungeon: Angler Company, as well as various improvements, the Dimensional Visitor event, and the new Champion Burning event.

The second and last patch of the MapleStory Milestone update has been released, featuring the new boss, Limbo, as well as the rest of the Ethernal set, Hexa Stat Core II, and a few other additions.
The next update (test server patch should be around August 7) will be for the new Epic Dungeon: Angler Company, and the Talaheart story event. I think this might be similar to Glory where they let everyone experience Cernium through an event before adding it as a permanent area for higher levels.

The first patch of the summer update, Milestone, has been released, featuring the Flowers Blooming in the Moonlight: Aran & Eunwol Remaster. It also contains various game system changes and improvements, as well as the main summer event One Page in Memory, themed around the pasts of the Black Mage’s commanders.
In other news, many of you might have heard about Steve (x3TheAran59) and Kobe (iSIingGunz)’s account issues. While I am lucky enough to still be able to play, depending on what response they get, that might change. If I’m no longer able to play the game with my friends, it really would have a huge effect on my motivation going forward, and I may choose to quit as well. And if I do that, I think I would probably no longer be doing any of this either (i.e. translating KMS updates and writing this blog). It would feel really weird to continue to translate updates for a version that I would not be playing. Nothing confirmed either way yet but I just wanted to share my brief thoughts for now.
Read more…2024 MapleStory Summer Showcase- Milestone Update Summary!
Last night, the 2024 MapleStory summer showcase took place, where they detailed the things that will be added in the Milestone update over the next few months as well as talked a little bit about other content up until November of this year!
The in-game map you could go to was also pretty nice as it gave experience passively as you were inside (I got 2% in total at level 286!) and there were various quiz events that each rewarded 5 VIP Boosters and 5 Sol Erda Fragments if you got the answer right.
After the showcase, the test server went up with the first iteration of the (spoilers) Aran and Eunwol remaster. The next test patch is going to be on the 13th so they will probably make more changes and add the corresponding events in that one. I wanted to get this one out as soon as possible so expect another post for KMST in a day or two!
Read more…MapleStory 2024 Summer Showcase – Milestone!
Yesterday, they held an event where you could go to a special map in-game called Maple Square where Director Changseop played various minigames with players (also gave a special 3 hour weather effect that gives +100% exp that stacks with all other buffs) and shared the teaser for the 2024 Summer Showcase. The showcase is called Milestone and will take place on June 8 at 4 PM! Players can watch together in-game in Maple Square as well.
Unfortunately, no actual details and I don’t think Milestone is the update name, but we’ll find out more in less than 2 weeks. The test server should go up soon after the showcase, which makes the timing a bit interesting since the first patch of the Summer update should hit the live server on June 27. That’s almost a 3 week testing period, when it’s usually just a week or two with nothing big added in the first patch.
