OPERATION: CASCADIA
[/SIZE]
[Insert cool picture here: Coming soon...]
This started in 2006 when the old forums were still around on the Maple Story website. In the Scania forum a bunch of people decided to make their own MS area//city, like Ludibrium, Orbis, El Nath, Henesys, etc. So don't you think its time that Maple Story got the first ever user created area? That would be cool wouldn't it? The city is to be named Cascadia, as there would probably be some dispute over the name. (That is how i see it, anyways.)
So in order to get everyones say, i am going to post everyones idea for this new city (Nothing inappropriate please.) and I am going to put down who wrote it (Southperry username , not IGN). Also when posting ideas, please do a grammar/spell check before submitting your idea
We should have a say on what we should get on Maple Story, and this is a great way too do it!
If you are just going to post here and say "The GMs will never listen to this" or along the lines of that, please just do not post. I have no time for people who want to be negative. Even if you do think that that will happen, post your ideas anyways, and have fun!
You know what to do!
Ideas so far:
Geography/Town:
Deep within the Ocean of Ossyria there is a lonely island know as Cascadia. Travel through the ocean to find its hidden entrance. You find a ladder near the surface level of the ocean. Intruiged, you climb it and you are meeted at a lonely map at a base of some lake, complete with a magestic waterfall. Behindthe waterfall you find a opening. You take a deep breath and enter through it. Behold, Cascadia!
(Credit goes too: MechMike who originally came up with the waterfall idea! and to those who agreed)
Quests:
Quest By Validate (SW Username)
Level Req: None.
Job Req: All Jobs
Details of quest: BUFFS!: Something new that would be added to Maple Story would be buffs. You do an extensive quest which requires you to go into the castle at the summit of Cascadia. Upon finishing the quest, you get a special buff skill that makes your character glow. You will need materials for different buffs because the skill gives you a buff but different materials will change the type of buff you get. (The buff will make the outline of your character glow that color)
Red: +20 Dex (Stat bonuses can be edited to prevent overpowering)
Blue: + 20 Str (This is just my example)
Green: + 20 Int
Yellow: + 20 Luk
The materials will be Orbs that can only be collected in Cascadia. You need to collect 100 orbs for one buff that will last an X amount of time.(Probably for minutes).
After you activate the buff on whichever color you have acquired, your character starts to glow that color and you get the stat boost. As you are given the buff, the number of your colored orbs goes down over time. Your character's glow goes away and you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can cast the buff again.

Quests by Blankout
Seeking the Emeralds[/COLOR] (level 40) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The Jewel Hunter looks distraught. I'd better see what's up with him... In Progress: The Jewel Hunter says he hasn't found any emeralds in the cave lately. He's asking me for help, because he thinks I might have "beginner's luck." Task: Collect 2 emeralds. Reward: 9200 exp
Completed: I helped the Jewel Hunter get his emeralds. It took me a while to collect all the ores from the monsters.
Hog Hunt (level 40, Seeking the Emeralds must be complete) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The Jewel Hunter seems concerned about the Iron Hog Populations in the cave. In Progress: The Jewel Hunter wants me to eliminate 400 Iron Hogs in the cave. Better get my weapons ready... Task: Kill 400 Iron Hogs Reward: 9500 exp, 1 fame Completed: I killed a bunch of Iron Hogs for the Jewel Hunter. For some reason, the population hasn't decreased much...
Boar Hunt (level 42, Hog Hunt must be complete) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The Jewel Hunter looks like he wants me to do something for him again. Oh great... In Progress: The Jewel Hunter wants me to defeat 450 Iron Boars. He thinks the metal on them are somehow reducing the emerald levels in the cave. Task: Kill 450 Iron Boars Reward: 11000 exp, 1 fame, Unagi x50 Completed: In return for my boar slaughter, the Jewel Hunter gave me some cooked seasoned eels. They look pretty yummy.
Bomb it up! (level 46, Boar Hunt must be complete) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The cave seems hotter than usual. I should talk to the Jewel Hunter to see what's happening. In Progress: The Jewel Hunter says the increased temperature in the cave is caused by the Firebombs in the cave. Task: Kill 345 Firebombs Reward: 13400 exp Completed: The cave feels much cooler now. Maybe it's because I'm too used to being near Firebombs.
Haunted Cave (level 53, Bomb it up! must be complete) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The Jewel Hunter looks frightened about something. I should go check up on him. In Progress: The Jewel Hunter is deathly afraid of ghosts. I'd better kill some for him. Task: Kill 1 of each: Soul Teddy, Death Teddy, Dreamy Ghost Reward: 15000 exp Completed: I killed a couple ghosts for the Jewel Hunter. Those ghosts were pretty tough stuff!
Escort the Hunter (level 58, Haunted Cave must be complete) Talk to: Jewel Hunter Available: The Jewel Hunter seems nervous about something. Let's see what happened. In Progress: The Jewel Hunter can't seem to find one of his friends. He wants you to join him and go around the, looking. Task: The Jewel Hunter will start following you. You have to get him to the Cooling Room without him dying. If he dies, you have to start over. He has 4000 HP and 0 weapon and magic defense. Reward: 25000 exp Completed: I lead the Jewel Hunter into a small, cold room where he found his friend.
