Their stockholder letter for last quarter indicates a Tier 1 Update in conjunction with the Anniversary patch for MapleStory, and while the letter itself just defines that Tier 1 Updates are "Large scale updates to existing PC games typically launched in Q1 or Q3 around peak season", a look into what Nexon considers Tier 1 updates shows that they're "the types of updates that we do about every 12 to 18 months that are major expansions to the games", and that there
also wasn't any Tier 1 Updates planned for Q4 2012 in Korea in a transcript of their Q3 2012 conference call, which I would think implies that nothing they released in Q3 was a Tier 1 Update either.

Honestly, I wouldn't take these at face value, and they're probably not as significant as they think they'll be, at least not to actual players, but they do have something planned for the anniversary, ten's pretty special after all, other than just a shop with pretty items.
