Remember your childhood? Look what they were teaching you

It’s Christmas time and what better gift to give than a Nexon Game card! Don’t know what to get your parents? Go out and buy a Nexon game card. Thinking of getting grandma some jewelry? Screw that! Get her a Nexon Game card! It’s fun for the whole family!

Nexon’s latest attempt to earn a quick buck from your piggy bank is this holiday season’s “White Winter Sale.” Hoping you’ll ask jolly old Saint Nick for a Nexon Game card to cash in on all the discounts in equips, pets, gachapon tickets, marriages, etc. Nexon America has succeeded once again in convincing thousands of 10 year olds to go beg their parents and Santa Claus for $25.00 and boy is it working.

Only a few weeks after the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales Nexon is at it again. It’s no coincidence that Nexon released the Aran class and a new server right around Christmas time. Only a few weeks earlier players purchased tons of hot items on sale (when the cash shop wasn’t glitched) and now there’s another sale? Hundreds of forumers on Sleepywood.net weren’t slow to criticize Nexon’s “eerie precision” in planning events.

So far, Nexon’s sale has been highly effective. Almost every item has been sold out (usually within minutes). Today in only 30 minutes in the Galicia server every pet package was sold out. The question becomes, “Is it worth it?” Some deals are too good to be true and are usually snatched up by lurkers in the cash shop and other times only 10 quantities are sold. Since you don’t purchase individual items when you buy NX cash you’re basically throwing caution to the wind. Elemintz of Scania purchased a $25 Nexon Pre-paid card in hopes of getting a pet only to have his hopes shot down. “I went out and bought an NX card hoping to get some sweet items on sale. When I logged on to buy a pet today, they were all sold out! I was like OMGWTFBBQ!”

With only a few days left in the sale we can only guess if people will actually be able to purchase the items they want at great prices or if they just wasted their money.

We want to know what you think! Do you think Nexon should put quantity limits on sale items? Tell us on the comment board below!

Nexon made an oopsie and posted these too soon.

MapleStory Ver. 80 Update Notes

New Content!

 

Aran – New Class

Aran, the Hero Revived. During the age when the Black Mage ruled Maple World, five heroes protected its citizens from his villainy. They fought the Black Mage with their unique powers, but it was impossible to protect the world and the people. Rather than see their people get hurt, the heroes sent them away to the safety of Victoria Island. Then, they began their final battle with the Mage.

 

When the dust finally cleared, the heroes had disappeared, leading everyone to believe they had died. Now, centuries after…

 

…Aran rises again!

Aran, one of the five heroes who fought the Black Mage, is a fearless Pole arm master.

After being cursed by the Black Mage and spending centuries in a frozen state, Aran woke up one day as an average man—no powers and no memory of his past. But waiting for Aran was a little girl named Lilin. As the last faithful believer of the prophecy—the revival of the heroes—her clan had received long ago, Lilin’s life purpose is to help Aran retrieve his past and prevent the impending reawakening of the Black Mage. With Lilin’s help, Aran slowly begins to regain his old self.

 

 

New Tutorial for Explorers

New and experienced players alike will find something to like in the new and improved Explorer tutorial. First, there’s an option for experienced players to just skip the tutorial section and jump straight to Lith Harbor. For new players the entire area has been tightened up. The instructional illustrations and animation are clearer and easier to understand to get into the MapleStory adventure as quickly as possible!

 

Mushroom Castle

Characters between levels 30 and 38 are getting a whole new call to adventure. It seems that the dastardly King Pepe has taken over the Mushroom Castle and is forcing the mushroom princess to marry his son, a penguin who… well, let’s just say the lights are on but nobody’s home. If you’re between level 30 and 38, make your way from Henesys through the “Empty House” map to get to Mushroom Forest Field. Once you’re there, talk to the exiled citizens of Mushroom castle, storm the walls, battle bosses, save a Princess and return an empire to its rightful Mushking!

 

Water of Life – Redesigned Functionality

Aran’s revival has triggered a revival of another kind –- your pet! Revive your loyal companion with a few clicks. Simply purchase the new Water of Life and poof — your pet is back in action. Save your questing for the new “Aran” and holiday content!

 

Even better, Water of Life is going on sale. Try 20% off of Water of Life from 12/20 to 1/12.

 

Vega’s Spell

Vega’s Spell (10%) will increase a 10% scroll’s success rate to 30% for only 3,000NX! Vega’s Spell (60%) will increase a 60% scroll’s success rate to 90% for only 4,000NX! Vega’s Spell won’t work on every scroll, so be sure to check the list to make sure your scroll is eligible!

 

 

New World – Galicia

It’s a new world for a new year! The year 2010 is almost here and what better way to celebrate than by starting with a clean slate in a brave new world?

 

So we’re calling all settlers willing to venture into new land — welcome to Galicia, MapleStory’s 11^th new world!

 

To help you settle in, all residents of Galicia will enjoy double experience from 12/10 to 1/11.

 

There’s also a Galicia-only quest that awaits you! Upon arrival at Lith Harbor, speak with Teo to get started. You can earn 100,000 mesos for completing “Teo’s Nostalgic Reminiscing I,” available for level 10 to 29 or 200,000 mesos for completing “Teo’s Nostalgic Reminiscing II” for level 30 and up!

 

In other good news, the opening of Galicia means that Demethos and Yellonde have moved on from being the “new” worlds. That means that these worlds are now opened up to the Maple Trading System (MTS) and eligible for character transfers!

What amazed me was that it said “Lillin’s Ring. Lv 30, 50, AND 70. That means 3 times the ring. Too good to be true? Of course! They’ll probably be nerfed.

Another thing which was amazing is that we get Mushroom Castle before MapleSEA did. Too bad it’s for lower levels. At least it’s another training map which won’t be ksede by higher lvs. ^_^

It seems to be confirmed that the new major class in MapleStory, Aran, is coming to MapleGlobal on December 9th, 2009. This has not been confirmed by Nexon America or the MapleStory administrators but the general consensus in the community is that December 9th is the big day. However, my personal opinion is that Aran will be released no earlier than December 14th. Why? The Aran events end on December 14th. It wouldn’t make sense to release a class while events preluding the class were still in progress.

The Aran is an ice-based polearm class that, like the Cygnus Knights, has awoken to defeat the Black Mage. I could go into further details, but it would be easier if you just referred to our breaking story on the Aran class made in June.
