EMS went full GMS v173 overnight!

Seems like EMS made another big change that really fcked us over. (AGAIN)

For the stuff we lose we will get coins to buy scrolls and chairs :f6:


"Dear Maplers,

The MapleStory Europe client build now is the same as v.173 from MapleStory Global.
Various items have been adjusted accordingly to ensure that the two builds are the same.
This means that some items may have been given an expiry date, have become untradeable
or underwent other changes to become the same as how it is in MapleStory Global.

You will be compensated according to the severity of each change with unity heart coins that
can be used in Yulia’s Unity Heart Coin Shop, which is located in the event hall.

The coin shop has various items, including various Chaos Scrolls, a Protection Scroll,
full AP and SP Reset Scrolls, Potential Stamps, Onyx Apples, permanent tradeable
as well as untradeable chairs, Mastery Books, Damage Skins, EXP coupons, and more!

You can accept the quest Give me, Unity Heart! From the Maplestory Administrator,
or by clicking on the star UI on the left side of your screen. The quest will give you
basic information on what you’ve received the compensation for.

Happy Mapling!

- Maplestory Europe Team -"


Epic failing, I hope ems closes already.

Patch Notes

The following systems have been added:
- Nebulite System
- Monster Cards
- report function (can be accessed by right clicking a Mapler)
- Monster Life has been added
- Totem slots have been added

The following has been removed:
- Free Character Slots
- Veracent is no longer available
- Flames will no longer drop from monsters
- The return to character selection button has been removed

:f7:

That sounds really abrupt and harsh.
I guess it's still better than "we're closing down; you're welcome to start fresh in GMS", though...

Edit: flames no longer drop from monsters, but does equipment get to keep its existing Additional Options (or whatever they call them)?
How about stars 15-20?

pineapple pomegranate forgot to screenshot my items.

J>Amoria PQ if that pomegranate still works on GMS, I want my free apples.

Though they didnt mention a thing about Supreme medals and Darkness Items.

I know I shouldn't have expected additional options, but a part of me did, and now that part is sad.

When I saw the title my heart was going "YES one step closer for me to playing GMS again!". Then I saw the contents and... damn you guys got hit hard.

Which still doesn't say whether equipment will lose existing Additional Options.

And yeah, GMS is dead-set on never letting us have those. They need their cube money.
(Was interesting to read that cash cube rank-up rates went up in EMS. This implies ours were better than theirs? I wonder by how tiny a fraction of a %)

Oh, I thought I only included the stars part in your quote, that was what I intended to respond to, the additional options part was just a pessimistic assumption on my part.

Better by far, I had a 143black cubes run on a miracle time last year and Only made 5items to legendary from uniq. And that was a very good miracle time.

Removing Veracent? Really? REALLY!? Guess that kills us from getting Veracent. That's so stupid. AlsoRIP Additional options. So stupid.

I havent checked myself (Im at work) but seems like a friend Kept some of his EMS exclusive items (medals and stuff) and the items kept the stars/aditional stats, but im not sure. Only Darkness accesories (Veracent) seems to be affected. Theyre still there, but you cant see it information window when you hover over them.

Sucks that you guys lost Additional Options.

EMS didnt have that update which removed some of the useless lines (like accuracy) and increased the chances of ranking up. So GMS cubes were better before this update.

Anyways I cant really complain about this changes. I would rather lose some of my items than having to restart from zero like it happened to the Brazilians a few years ago. Because it was either this "merge" or EMS closing as its pretty much a dead server.

My friend sayed he didn't lose the extra status in the flame, it seens you can't drop flames anymore either, he wondered if he could use nebulites on this flamed eqps :f1:.

So aparentaly they made a shop with rewards, the coins you get with the compasation they made, every flame is one coin, and one cash item is one coin too; idk how long this one lasts, but it's pretty good, i was just casual playing in EMS so i didn't have much flames, i imagine pros have over 400 coins :f6:

Edit: Also, the server is quite laggy now :f3:, people needing to download 7,7g make the server less populated, we can't get new char slot for free, the bonus status from the flames still exist

dam I was really hoping we could see veracent in gms too :(

Since EMS Maplers was able to buy character slot coupon for free previously, are those accounts with maxed character slots before this update still have their character slots left intact after this update?

So apparently Beast Tamer is of an Anima race? Does it mean she has a chance to be included in the main lore of Maplestory once Nexon decides to expand Grandis' storyline?

In EMS, my account still have all the free slots i bought(for free).

Didn't they say some systems would remain the same?.....
