This video was originally taken from a mazefind (http://www.youtube.com/user/mazefind)'s upload.

So.. you can find a supposition of what's happening in the description. And that's where I need help from Isaac. I'd like to know the exact story of Aran and what happened in that video, if you know. I know it's in Korean, but.. maybe a Korean Southperrian could help us?

Well.. it's just epic. Nothing more. The traveler starts his adventure in a tent. We're in the past, probably. He goes out, talks with Helena (who should be the young Athena Pierce..(?)). There are lots of people, they're all escaping from the Black Magician, as he probably wants to destroy their village (?). Helena tells the traveler that a kid is missing.. and the traveler goes out in the forest (?) to find him. The traveler finds Black Magician's Monsters.. evil versions of the Minar Forest monsters. The traveler keeps walking and finds the kid who was missing. He takes the kid where the other people are. But.. when he's walking back, everything is burning. The Black Magician's monsters are gone, and everything is on fire. Even the tent where the traveler came from is. So.. everything is ready for the escape. The people went all inside the boat and Helena is only waiting for the traveler with the kid. The traveler is back, and Helena is glad. She asks him to get in the boat and he agrees. And then.. he's in Lienne. What about the freezing of the Aran people? Weren't they freezed by the Black Magician? Did that happen after? And in what circumstance? These are my questions. The story isn't complete.

Well. That's my supposition. Let's see what Isaac thinks about it.

EDIT: I think I got it!!

The travelers refused to go inside the boat, and they wanted to fight against the Black Magician to defeat him. But he was too strong. And he froze them.

Still I haven't an explanation of why they awake in Lienne.

[lul.]

Look at their level when you first start, 200. Is that so they don't die from the monsters? But thats one epic story. Can't wait until the full thing.

Yeah, probably because of that, and because of something that we still don't know.

[Saar331]

hehe so my speculation was right!
what do you think maybe last quests will be going back to the past..

[lul.]

Now we need to wait for some english extractors to finish.

Lol @ what Google Translate Said, Pissed Zombie Mushroom?:

2. Victoria Island, has been added a new monster.

hmm. Plate Techtonics, but that wouldn't work since Helena still looks like shes in Ellin Forest, so unless the refugees are immortal or something its impossible to have them on a island 1 million years ago then have them on another island 1 million years ago and finally be grown up in Victoria Island. Makes me think that Victoria may be somehow linked with Lienne. But with Mrs Ming Ming still looking old in both time periods, who knows. And how would Arans be with Adventurers, because there still back in time? Its to goddamn confusing.

EDIT: Maybe Lienne is the Ellin Forest looking place, just covered with Ice (From the Black Magician).

[Nikkey]

Be able to equip weapons.

[Alloy]

Noobs frozen in time. This is awesome. Also, loving the time travel's potential paradoxes :D

no.
elin forest=before black magician attacked hardly,because in the PQ you "Reduce" his attacks so he still didnt attack like in the aran vid.
you start as a lv200 thats so cool and awesome start and because these monsters wont be seen again we need to predict what the pissed zombie mush and others are for..
i think we will get elin forest extensions soon for some reason

[Dusk]

Wow, that's pretty cool. I like how the other people were hacking away at monsters that give no exp and the video maker just walked by.

[Fiel]

Isaac is on vacation and so am I. As luck would have it KMST patched. I probably won't be able to get to this until tonight or tomorrow night.

[Herbert Jablonski]

It's AWESOME that they made such a story oriented tutorial for the Aran. The entire first scene is looks like it's supposed to be a flashback of your Aran's memories, indicated by the black blurry border around the screen and the intentional grainy filter you see to make it appear like an old photo/movie. Them being at max level at the start of your gameplay is most likely to give you a chance to get used to their combo oriented play style early on.

Really makes me wish that they'd revise Adventurers tutorial for more story...

[shroum]

This is by far best addition to maple?
Offtopic: just god back from red eye and going on maple with new pach for first time. :heart:
went from small laptop screen to Imac screen in HD.
MY EYES!! THE GOGGLES!?!?! THEY!?!?! DO!?!? NOTHING!?!?! OR SOMETHING!?!?!
:goggle:

[Amnesia]

Epic. Omfg.
Actaully, thats the reason Rien is close to Leafre.
You see, he refused to get on the boat and stayed to fight the black magician. But the black magician froze the whole area, including leafre [creating the ice maps we know today], and the area next to leafre, Rien. The Arans were probably fighting him in Rien thats why they got frozen in there. They start in Rien, Ririn awakens them from the Ice. Their power got weaken [accurding to the information on the selection screen], so thats why they start weak and get stronger through levels.

[SlayerZach]

Yeah, Aran seems to be turning into a more interesting race as it progresses, the cutscene was awesome. :ohno: I'm getting more tempted to make an Aran instead of a Cygnus whenever they come to GMS. :goggle:

[Dusk]

Why instead? You know we're getting Cygnus next month while KMS doesn't even officially have Aran yet (but should be coming out soon I think)?

[Kurtle]

My assumption-The Aran race were the protectors of a remote tribe near Leafre that were obliged to protect the land and the refugees that had come to stay with them. Helena foresaw an attack coming from the Black Magician and built a boat to save the refugees and the Aran race possibly. However, a problem occurred when one of the refugee children wandered off on the day they planned to escape and the boat had already begun to leave while the Aran were bringing him back and they had decided it would be best to stay back and fight the Black Magician's army. However, the Black Magician won and cursed the remaining Aran's to exist in an icy coffin and in turn ripped the area of Lienne off of Ossyria. In the future a team of excavators uncover the Aran trapped in their icy tomb and awaken them as a last resort to ward off the Black Magician who has once again returned.

[Combattente]

Yeah. Aran should be released on July 7th on KMS.

And yeah, Cygnus is nowhere as interesting as Aran. And I'm expecting to see more exciting things about this new job.

[MetaSeraphim]

I want to make an Aran for the sole reason of awesome Storyline quests they're sure to have.

[CommanderJinn]

All that and there was some stuff that we've never seen before in maple. Even though all this happens in a span of probably a few minutes within 5 maps (6 if you count the second starting map) it's still pretty impressive how they were able to do stuff like make npcs disappear so that it makes it look like you're saving him and how when you leave a map and go back to it after you trigger an event, the map changes.

I mean this could be incorporated in so many ways (ie. Masteria)

[Xakris]

no.

These 3 new mobs will be similar to cynical mushroom some quests with them. I am sure.

[Loose]

This is pretty.

Yeah, and hopefully NEXON America will use those methods. It's all in the portals. They check if you've triggered an event and if you did, they take you to another map.

I imagine the return of the Black Magician and the takeover of the Maple World.. all the NPCs would be gone from the towns because they'd escape from the Black Magician, and there would be black clouds everywhere.. the towns would grow darker, and Black Magician would destroy them. You'd see the ruins of all the towns (something like the burning maps in the video, when the traveler came back to Helena to give her the kid), and the BGM would change. There would be ONE BGM for all the towns, and it'd be an evil one to give the evil feeling of the dark force of the Black Magician, who destroyed them.

Something like Pokemon Ruby, when you had to capture Groudon. The weather became very hot in all the towns, and the BGM changed in all of them to give a "danger" feeling. Yeah, I'd like to see something like that on MapleStory. Too bad, I don't think that would happen.. it'd disrupt the gameplay to the others.. or maybe NEXON could find a way.. like you'd see the destroyed towns only by doing a quest.. and there still would be Potion sellers somewhere to give you the potions..

They're just ideas, but I'd like to see something epic like that for the Black Magician's return. Seeing how epic the starting for the Aran Race was, I think they probably will invent something REALLY epic for the Black Magician..

Interesting thought! I am totally confident that Nexon will be able to finally come up with a LOOK for the Black Magician. I mean, we have only been able to see its SHADOWS after so many.. years. :/

Actually NPCs changing isn't anything new. Some current NPCs animate after you finish a quest and some NPCs for Cygnus quests disappear completely.

Spaced out by scenes.

-Character: Let's try going outside.

-Athena Pierce: You woke up. Aran! How is your wound? ...Huh? The situation?
-Athena Pierce: The evacuation preparations are almost done. I put as many people as possible on the ark. The Holy Beast (Shin Su) is going to protect the flying evacuation ship, so there is nothing to worry about. When we are finished, we will head straight to Victoria Island.
-Athena Pierce: Aran's companions...? They... left for the Black Magician. They said they will hold the Black Magician off while we evacuate... Huh? You want to go too? No! Aren't you wounded? Run away with us!
-Voice: Eeek!
-Voice: There's a problem! The child is gone!
-Athena Pierce (quest box): We have to escape before the Black Magician comes.
-Athena Pierce: Oh no! It seems that a child was left in the forest! We can't just leave the child there and escape! Aran... I'm sorry, but please go save the child! I know I shouldn't ask someone who is wounded... but you're the only hope!
-Athena Pierce: The child is probably deep in the forest! We have to set sail on the ark before the Black Magician figures out we're here, so you have to bring the child back quickly!
-Athena Pierce: The important thing is to not panic. Aran, if you want to check the quest progression, push the O key to check the quest window.
-Athena Pierce: Please, Aran! Save the child! I don't want any more sacrifices to the Black Magician!

-Message: You can push the attack key to perform a normal attack. Ctrl = normal attack

-Child: Waah... *sob, sob* Huh... It's Sir Aran? Did you come to save me?
-Child: Aah... I was so scared... *sob.* Please take me to Miss Athena Pierce quickly!

*You obtained item (Lost Child)*

-Athena Pierce (quest box): We have to depart now! Hurry!
-Athena Pierce: Ahh, you were safe? The child? Did you bring the child?
-Athena Pierce: That's good... That was fortunate...
-Character: Hurry and get on the airship! There is no more time!
-Athena Pierce: Y, yes. There is no time for that. The Black Magician's energy is getting closer! It seems that the ark's location was found out! We'll be *killed* if we don't depart right now!
-Character: Depart now!
-Athena Pierce: Aran! You get on too! I know you want to fight, but... It's too late! Leave the fighting to your comrades and go to Victoria Island with us!
-Character: No way!
-Character: Helena, you head to Victoria Island first. I will not die and join up with you later. I will fight the Black Magician with my comrades!

*video starts*
Centuries ago
the Maple World was ruled by an evil Black Magician
The people gathered their strengthes and fought the Black Magician, but
it seemed impossible to win
However, there was hope
Five heroes came together to save the Maple World
Arduous and intense battle...
The hero succeeded in sealing away the Black Magician
Unfortunately, the hero did not escape unscathed
They, under the curse of the Black Magician,
were trapped in freezing ice after losing their memories and skills
And, in the present, an island near Victoria Island
Wake up, hero

-Lyrin: You finally woke up...!
-Character: ...You are?
-Lyrin: I was waiting. For you... For the hero that fought the Black Magician to wake up...!
-Character: ...What are you talking about? Who are you...?
-Character: No... Who am I...? I don't remember anything... Urk...! My head hurts!
-Lyrin: Are you okay?
-Character: I... can't remember anything... Where is this? And who are you?
-Lyrin: Calm down. I guessed that the Black Magician's curse might erase your memory, so I'll explain everything step by step.
-Lyrin: You are one of the heroes that fought the Black Magician hundreds of years ago. You succeeded in saving the Maple World, but at the last moment, you fell under the curse of the Black Magician and were asleep for a long time in ice. That is how you lost your memory.
-Lyrin: This place is Rien. It is called Rien Island. This is the place the Black Magician cursed and trapped you. The curse, against normal climates, covers this place in ice and snow. I was looking for you for a long time here.
-Lyrin: My name is Lyrin. I belong to the Rien clan. The Rien clan has waited for the Hero to return, according to the prophecy. And... finally, you came back.
-Lyrin: I explained too much at once. It doesn't matter if you don't understand everything immediately. You will learn over time... Before that, let us go to the town now. I will explain anything you don't understand while on the way there.
-Puka (quest box): Rien Island, where no humans visit. The only human who lives here is Lyrin.
-Puka: Eh? A human on this island...? Oh, isn't it Lyrin? Ma'am, what are you doing all the way out here... Ah, is this someone you know? Huh? This is the hero?
-Puka: THE HERO RETURNED!
-Puka: This is the hero that Lyrin's clan waited centuries for! Ohh. I knew you weren't an average person as soon as I saw you...
-Puka: However, you seem to have gotten much weaker, probably because of having slept for centuries in ice because of the Black Magician's curse. I'll give you a health potion, so please drink it.
-Puka: After you drink up, let's chat again~
-Character: (How do I drink a potion? ...I don't remember...)
-Puka: We dug through the ice for a trace of the hero, but for the hero to really appear! The prophecy was true after all! Lyrin has made a great choice! Now that hero has returned, we won't need to worry about the Black Magician!
-Puka: Ah, no. I've been holding up the hero for too long. I was so happy that... The other penguins will do that too. I know you are busy, but please go talk to the other penguins on your way to town. They'll all be surprised if the hero talks to them!
----Rewards are Rien Red Potion x5, Rien Blue Potion x5, 16 exp
-Puka: You leveled up? Perhaps you obtained some skill points. In the Maple World, you can get 3 skill points for every level. You can check by pushing the K key to open the skill window.
-Character: (They're so friendly, but I can't remember anything. I wonder about me being a hero. Let's check the skill first... but how do I do that?)

[Sinnuendo]

This is pretty much the most epic thing ever. Just one more week (and two days QQ). :D

[MetaSeraphim]

Holy Beast? I wonder what that is.

[TKWizard]

Holy Beast? I wonder what that is.

Possibly Shin Su or the Nine Spirits Dragon?

[Kirov]

I get it, you are the hero who was fighting the black magician and woke of from being frozen in the past forgetting your skills. Awesome, and it doesn't involve time paradoxes or time warps. :glitter:

Well it doesn't have to be for everyone, if the maps are quest triggered then only people who have the quest can enter through to that map while normal maplers continue to the normal towns. Or, assuming that they can also make NPCs appear as well as disappear according to what quests have been triggered, an NPC could be triggered and appear near portals into town and when you click on it, it teleports you to the alternate map.


Holy Beast? I wonder what that is.

Isn't that the Dragon in Ereb? I might be wrong.

To add, in the cutscene, it says 5 heroes but then goes into singular again to describe the Aran. Does that mean they'll be special "1 Class" races like Aran? I mean the Aran race only has 1 class, and that's a pollarm warrior.

I think it's talking about adventurers. Look in the scene where they're fighting the black magician; you can see a girl with a wand and one with a bow.

[SlayerZach]

Why instead? You know we're getting Cygnus next month while KMS doesn't even officially have Aran yet (but should be coming out soon I think)?
Well, Aran looks cooler, and as for Cygnus, I might make one for the lulz, but whenever we get Aran, I'll probably train that one seriously in comparison.

[ArbalistMaster]

funny how the level 200 aran at the beginning has 50 hp and 5 mp.

Pretty epic though. We finally know why the black magician disappeared

[Amnesia]

:O.. I thought the part where the Black Magician appear is the part where he talks to the Aran's, something like "You fools! how do you dare you stand in my way? *rage* your going to be demolished" *shows Aran fighting the Black Magician* ...

[Rob]

I think it's talking about adventurers. Look in the scene where they're fighting the black magician; you can see a girl with a wand and one with a bow.

They could always be new races. Aran's mage, thief, bowman and pirate comrades.

Ditto, lol'd.

[holyforest]

So this video takes place even before the Altair Camp, which is strange because I thought they came from Ossyria. Where is Mrs. Ming Ming in the Altair Camp? How did Helena know what Victoria Island was it was unpopulated before Sharen the 3rd ruled the island? Where is their ship in the Altair Camp? How was the forest outside the Altair Camp poisoned if the Black Magician was sealed away? How did Ellin come? There are too many questions and possibilities now. I really want Korea to devise some answers and make a storyline in the Altair Camp, because right now all the NPC's seem to be lost in time. And where did the representatives of the jobs come from? It's really neat to see the ancient Lienne/Rien burning.

[Combattente]

Thanks a lot Regi for the translations. Now a lot of things make a lot more sense.

[xBTAx]

*You obtained item (Lost Child)*

I don't know why, but that made me lol.

I'm wondering about the order of events as well... And is "Helena" a straight translation of the NPC, or are we just using the GMS name now? (Or was Athena what we changed in the first place? I'm sorta confused.)

[Regi]

Helena = Athena Pierce
Athena Pierce = Helena

I found a thread with the same name as this one in General Maplestory

[xBTAx]

Helena = Athena Pierce
Athena Pierce = Helena

I found a thread with the same name as this one in General Maplestory

I know that... What I was saying was that... Since apparently she's only called Helena in GMS, are we calling her that because we now have a GMS name, or is the NPC actually named Helena in KMS?

[CommanderJinn]

I think it's talking about adventurers. Look in the scene where they're fighting the black magician; you can see a girl with a wand and one with a bow.

Well adventurers are mainly the present aren't they? And even if they weren't there'd be many of them. The translation says 5 heroes and then goes on to say that the Aran is a hero. so that's 1 out of 5. I was just thinking that if there were 4 more, 1 for each class there could be different races out there that only handle 1 weapon, like the Aran do.

Warriors (Dances)
Bowmen (Athena)
Thieves (Dark Lord)
Magicians (Grendel)
Arans (That dude)

Not pirate, they weren't around then (I believe).

Also, anyone notice that everyone else had different equips? Or that he had the coolest cape ever? (it blew in the wind)

[CommanderJinn]

I just noticed after you pick up the kid, the second you change maps, the kid's on your back.

[Nerdy]

Not really much I can say that no one else has. It's really epic, blah blah blah. That would be funny if you somehow were able to kill yourself while fighting monsters. And I wonder what would've happened in you went onto the boat. Man oh man I'm definitely making one of these the second it comes out in JMS. :heart:

[IsaacGS]

So this video takes place even before the Altair Camp, which is strange because I thought they came from Ossyria. Where is Mrs. Ming Ming in the Altair Camp?

It's really neat to see the ancient Lienne/Rien burning.
1. Probably just some ancestor that looks similar to Mrs. Ming Ming. It's pretty easy to answer. I mean, they picked NPCs that were deliberately similar to existing NPCs to emphasize the fact that they are moving to the future Victoria Island.
2. Victoria Island and Ossyria were once connected. You know the huge bay where Ludi is now? That's where Victoria broke off from ages ago. This was stated in a new maple Island quest so you may not be aware of it. These people seem to be fleeing from mainland Ossyria to the newly broken off Victoria to escape the Black Magician.
3. We don't know much of anything about when Sharenian was compared to Altair; it could have been thousands of years before or thousands of years after. The only real hint we have is that there are some rocky areas at the edge of altair, which implies that Sharenian already fell, but it's far from conclusive.
4. Altair is probably a bit further inland, so the ship would still be on the coast. Or maybe they took it apart to build the camp and hide their location.
5. The forest was poisoned by a follower of the Black Magician then. Ellin merely speculates that the poisoning is due to the Black Magician, though she did spot a black cloaked figure. Ellin was likely a native of the Victoria Island region when it was on Ossyria. There have certainly been numerous instances of people trying to awaken the Black Magician (Kirstun, who summoned Pink Bean, was trying to revive the Black Magician, but failed) so this isn't the first time. Though, I think that even though his power may be sealed he still has some means of communicating his will to his followers.


That's what I would say to your questions.

1. Probably just some ancestor that looks similar to Mrs. Ming Ming. It's pretty easy to answer. I mean, they picked NPCs that were deliberately similar to existing NPCs to emphasize the fact that they are moving to the future Victoria Island.
2. Victoria Island and Ossyria were once connected. You know the huge bay where Ludi is now? That's where Victoria broke off from ages ago. This was stated in a new maple Island quest so you may not be aware of it. These people seem to be fleeing from mainland Ossyria to the newly broken off Victoria to escape the Black Magician.
3. We don't know much of anything about when Sharenian was compared to Altair; it could have been thousands of years before or thousands of years after. The only real hint we have is that there are some rocky areas at the edge of altair, which implies that Sharenian already fell, but it's far from conclusive.
4. Altair is probably a bit further inland, so the ship would still be on the coast. Or maybe they took it apart to build the camp and hide their location.
5. The forest was poisoned by a follower of the Black Magician then. Ellin merely speculates that the poisoning is due to the Black Magician, though she did spot a black cloaked figure. Ellin was likely a native of the Victoria Island region when it was on Ossyria. There have certainly been numerous instances of people trying to awaken the Black Magician (Kirstun, who summoned Pink Bean, was trying to revive the Black Magician, but failed) so this isn't the first time.

Gosh, there's so many more. I really do hope Korea devises a plot line for the Altair Camp because as I said earlier, it seems as if they are all frozen in time (the NPC's). It's almost like they don't realize we're there because we can't communicate with them.

I know that... What I was saying was that... Since apparently she's only called Helena in GMS, are we calling her that because we now have a GMS name, or is the NPC actually named Helena in KMS?
Apparently she's named Helena in KMS.

the future Victoria Island
Minor nitpick. I see what you mean here, but I was confused for a little bit.

How did this video come about? Is it an in-game tutorial, or something? :f6:

When you create an Aran character, you end up in the first map in the video.

I think that the Aran race isn't an actual race, but just the name of the hero. The character name would just be a name you chose because you even forgot who you are. It also seems that we're getting 4 more "heroes" (other people fighting in the video?). I really hope it's not going to be another bow/claw/knuckle/sword thing.

Small summary of what I think that happened:
-Hero(Aran) is wounded and has to save a child.
-Aran does the typical stubborn hero thing ("I stay here and fight!").
-Aran is cursed and frozen. (I think Rien used to be like Leafre.)
-The girl finds you and brings you to the village, and all the penguins start shouting once they see who you are.

I wonder if they make Athena Pierce recognise you...
