KMST ver. 1.2.182 – NEXT Improvements & Mastery Core Changes
As announced previously, the second test world patch was released on Thursday, featuring a lot of the game improvements mentioned at the showcase as well as some further skill changes. All of this will be heading to the live server next week!
Read more…2024 MapleStory Winter Showcase – NEXT
The 2024 MapleStory winter showcase, NEXT, took place yesterday at KINTEX in Ilsan, Korea, where they announced the next three months of content. And of course, right after it ended, KMST was opened with some of that.
I’m going to cover just the showcase in this post, with the main bullet points and some of the details that Changseop mentioned. Currently working on the KMST patch notes, will probably take a longer than normal amount of time considering the number of skills added all at once. The next KMST patch will be in less than a week, and then it all gets released in the official servers the week after so it’s going to be post after post after post!
Also, although I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to go to the Maple Con/NEXT showcase, Steve was and he sent me a million pictures he took there. Would people be interested in a post about the IRL events/minigames/prizes/etc. they had there? It would probably not be for a couple of weeks at least though considering all the other stuff coming out soon.
Read more…MapleStory’s History – Interviews from 15+ Years Ago!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a non-patch related post. If you guys have been reading for many years, you might remember some of my really old posts like the MapleStory character relationship chart and the one about the various MapleStory published books/artbooks (it’s funny to look back at this, I said that I wanted to own them one day and I actually did just get them, 10 years later!). I also got the Aran and Eunwol remaster books so maybe I’ll do a post on those if people are interested.
Anyways, a while ago, I was looking through some really, really old MapleStory news and I found a bunch of official articles/streams/interviews that were archived by a user called mazefind (some of you might remember them as they used to upload a lot of KMS videos on YouTube). These streams included interviews with the development/design teams and they mentioned a lot of little tibdbits I thought would be fun to share.
It’s a bit of a long post but I hope there are some people that might enjoy this kind of ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff.

The third fall update, featuring the new roguelike content that provides mesos, Azmoth Canyon, as well as the Dave the Diver collaboration has been released! The Dave the Diver event is really extensive and actually very fun! Might even have to pick up the real game after this.
Next month will be the Demon Slayer collaboration, which was already released in JMS, and it should be mostly the same here. But I’m hoping they have some actual content to go along with it.
Read more…KMST ver. 1.2.179 – Azmoth Canyon!
The last pieces of content (except for the Demon Slayer collaboration next month) that they announced in the Milestone showcase have been released to the test server! The new Azmoth Canyon is a sort of roguelike that rewards Azmoth Coins (which can be traded for some enhancement items) and Maple Gold Coins (mesos). The other big part of this patch is the Dave the Diver collaboration, which is quite extensive and basically lets you play Dave the Diver in MapleStory!
