Due to an issue of certain monsters in Mr. Lee's Airlines Quest giving unintended exp, we have temporarily disabled this quest.* We apologize for the inconvenience.

There is nothing so permanent as that which is called "temporary".

I wonder whether it will ever come back, and if it does, whether it will still have any usability.

Sounds like the same BS fed about other things.

Crimsonwood Keep PQ and Amoria to start with. Of course we needn't forget the Haunted House assets either.

Florina Beach though..

I bet it'll come back after lab since the high exp and iirc low damage the mobs do there made lab more of a joke than it already is.

I need the Wildress Buff, now they remove it, ffs .

Well, what do you know

Hello Maplers,

After we temporarily disabled the Mr. Lee’s Airlines quest on August 11th, we re-evaluated the entire Mr. Lee’s Airlines content and discussed various additional issues and updates that we felt needed to be done for this content to fit with the current state of the game.

While considering these issues in the context of various other issues with the game that players have voiced concern with, and future content we planned to bring this year, we decided to permanently close Mr. Lee’s Airlines in our upcoming v198 update on August 29th. This closure will allow us to increase our focus on higher priority issues.

Many of you may have already seen the large number of content we plan to release this year, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. We also plan to address a number of higher priority issues as well as develop new content. We understand that many of you may be discouraged by the closure of Mr. Lee’s Airlines, but we hope you understand that this will allow our teams to better improve other areas of the game and ensure the quality and stability of the overall game and future content.

Thank You,

Dennis "SavageAce" Bernardo

(Updated on the original notice, so people might not see it? I don't know why Notify didn't notice it had changed).

I remembered when it came out that EXP was PS level crazy. Got some of my charas to 4th, I only wish I had used it more when I had the chance. I will miss it.

I remember the buff was incredibly good, but I didn't use it much. The EXP was incredibly awesome due to many monsters present at the map at once that were boss-tagged and having Elite monster-tier EXP. Throw that in with a mini-dungeon-type full spawn-refresh on map change and you have yourself an EXP fountain. I did a couple of chars to 120 with Mr. Lee, but that was a long while back. I'm hardly playing games these days, work comes before life for the time being.

There was also an exploit that could eliminate the "randomness" of the map change (you'd always end up in the map of your choice with a certain group of monster(s)), but that has been blocked since idk when.

The crazy "boss" exp was only during the Mr. Lee event. And they fixed most of it pretty quicky and instated the 1 hour a day limit.
When it came back as regular content, they fixed the wolves, which were a map the initial fix had skipped.
But now, four years later, it was discovered that one of the underground maps (the one with pinboom-like mobs) still had boss exp, although miserable spawn and difficult navigation. In LAB it was especially good because 6x EXP, so people used it and told each other about it and Nexon became aware.

Nexon's solution, of course, is to amputate the entire limb instead of bandaging that minor scrape. Either because they can't be bothered to check whether any other mobs still give more exp than they should, or because Korea became aware of the Wilderness Hunter's Buff and ordered it gone.

What a shame, I still did it on some mules when I didn't feel like grinding on the regular maps, well at least I got all the mounts on my main.
