2022 Maple Live Talk!
Yesterday, the 2022 Maple Live Talk took place in Korea. The general director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop answered questions sent in by players and talked about what they could do to improve the game accordingly. It was seriously long, about 5 hours, but I’ll try to summarize the questions that were asked and their answers.
At the very end, they even teased the summer update, and announced the MapleStory Ignition Showcase which will take place on June 11. This will presumably show off the Cygnus remaster and other things coming this summer, similar to the MapleStory Destiny Showcase in December!
KMS ver. 1.2.363 – MapleStory’s 19th Anniversary: Maple Momentree!
MapleStory is turning 19 years old! The 19th anniversary, Maple Momentree, will take place over the next two months. This patch also includes a ton of quality of life changes, a new boss matching system, story updates, and skill improvements!
The Maple Live Talk will take place on May 1 and will probably be our first glimpse of what’s coming up after this. If I had to guess, May’s patch will include the aforementioned Mu Lung Dojo and Union expansions and then June will be our summer patch with the Cygnus remaster and Odium.
KMST ver. 1.2.140 – QoL Changes & Story Improvements
A new test server patch was released today, including various quality of life changes, story improvements, and the 19th Anniversary event (to be covered when it hits the official servers next week).
2022 Maple Live Talk Announced
The 2022 Maple Live Talk‘s date has been announced! The Maple Live Talk is similar to the user conference from last year and the Destiny Live Talk from this January. It will take place at the Blue Square performance hall in Seoul on May 1 at 2 PM KST. There will be two main parts: an FAQ for things that many players are curious about, and an online real-time Q&A with the general director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop.
On the official homepage, players can now submit any questions they want answered and sign up to attend the event in-person as well. Only a total 50 players will be invited, but the event will be livestreamed on the MapleStory Youtube channel like before.
Discussion Topic Selection & Background Information (3/24 ~ 4/25)
The MapleStory team has chosen the next discussion board topic, opinions about reorganizing the official homepage guides for new and returning players.
