Maple Now LAN Virtual Tour!
As stated previously, Director Changseop did a live stream yesterday called the Maple Now LAN Virtual Tour! He said it would be a mini-showcase and it was definitely that (or even more) with all the stuff he announced. This year’s anniversary will take place over the next three months (March, April, May) and they have prepared lots of content both in-game and in real life (such as the MapleStory theme park)!
After the Maple Now stream, the test server was opened with some of the changes which will be coming to the live server next week. Recently I’ve only been doing live server posts so I probably will end up continuing that, it’s just easier to take my time over a week+ instead of having to rush to finish the test server as fast as possible then have to do more work for whatever is different in the live server patch a few days later.

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.

The second test world patch has been released, with further changes to the Aran & Eunwol remasters as well as a bunch of game system changes and improvements. Unfortunately it seems like most Aran and Eunwol players are still dissatisfied and with only one more week until the live server release, it doesn’t seem like there’s much possibility that it can be made significantly better by then…
Meanwhile, for regular servers, the new Additional Potential reset system is really expensive and they added way more expensive Bonus Rewards for Epic Dungeons which is of course making regular server players mad too.
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!

After a week of the meso changes being on the test server, Nexon has decided to push them to the official server pretty much as-is. Everything that was in testing is included except for the changes to additional potential, which they said will be implemented within the first half of the year.
I think the idea is they’re going to do multiple, frequent patches now instead of the regular month-long cycles for these changes, maybe weekly? Seems quite haphazard to say the least…
