KMS ver. 1.2.392 – MapleStory Milestone: Flowers Blooming in the Moonlight!

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.

The test world was updated a couple hours after the showcase, with the first iteration of the Aran and Eunwol remasters! It’s just the skill changes, nothing else. The next test world patch will be this Thursday, and will contain more changes as well as the various events we’re going to get the week after in the official server.
Similar to what happened with the Angelic Buster remaster, I think I’m just going to translate the patch notes as-is (with some additions and fixes, I noticed that Nexon did miss some changes so I included those where I noticed them) and then for the official server patch, I’ll do full skill translations to make it easier to understand.

The second patch of the winter update, Dreamer, has been released! It contains the second set of 6th job Mastery Cores, improvements to Grandis’ instanced Authentic Force maps, Heroes of Maple’s reorganization, and outfit presets. The New Name Auction event has also returned!
The test server patch that features the meso and Cube changes that everyone is waiting for will be released at some point in the future (seriously, there’s no announced date other than some time after this live server patch).

A test world patch containing changes to the 2nd Mastery Core skills as well as other overall skill changes, the return of Elite Monsters and Bosses in Grandis, a full update to Heroes of Maple’s story, and the new Outfit Preset system!
This patch does NOT contain the previously mentioned changes to Cubes and mesos. That should be in a separate patch that will happen after next week’s live server patch on January 18 (where the 2nd Mastery Cores will be released).
