GM Blog - New Adventure Awaits

So, any ideas if they are gonna re-add/fix the Loki boxes?
I mean, while the KMS event sounds interesting, will it deliver?
They might only be adding the base parts of Singapore(ignore the harbor), but again, it could be the whole thing. It might be interesting to see if they use the world tour NPC. Both of which are possibilities, but overall general speculation.

Seeing as the next three patches are usually written off by the community as event patches(they do have a point) there might be a little bit of doubt over the exact release date of Pirates(expect them either in November or December).

The GM blog hints at "ending the year with a BANG". Considering they slipped Arr and one other reference, I believe, I really think we can expect pirates a few weeks or so right before the holidays. This gives them a lot of lee-way with what they do as far as marketing and their other maplestory-related products. It will be Christmas shopping season, after all, and they want to take as much advantage as possible of it.


At least, business wise, that makes the most sense considering the blog post. :X



Meh, as long as candies drop again. I have 115 on NoJobNoRules from last year; going to try for 200+. Or maybe I'll get lucky and the admin will give the pumpkin basket quest. D:


I'd assume base part of Singapore. After all of the recent glitches, unless they open Tespia VERY soon, I really doubt they're going to test. The less stuff to add, usually the better. D:

Tespia is surely not going to open, even for this patch.

I can bet whatever you want on it. This is the 3rd Server Maintenance week after the last patch, so in the 4th week they usually patch. As I already stated in another post, they should've opened Tespia's Registrations last week, then choose testers this week (and open Tespia), and next week close Tespia and patch.

This is ASSUMING they will follow the "3 Server Maintenances - then the patch" order.

Anyway, about the GM blog's post, that's very interesting. I hope they will re-add the NPCs like Edmunds and the other "ghost" NPCs that disappear after Halloween (well, they don't "disappear".. NEXON just removes them XD) but it's pretty obvious they will.

Also, I like the Prendergast Mansion as it is, and I don't want it to be changed. Sure, maybe a new PQ and new NPCs/quests, but please don't change it. I think it wouldn't make much sense in the storyline, the Prendergast Mansion suddendly changed. O.o

About Singapore, I like it. It's a nice place, IMO, even if maybe it's not a very-good training place. I don't see what's wrong with it. Maybe you would prefer something nicer in the Halloween patch? Well, Singapore is better than nothing. And we're also going to get pirates in the next few patches.

I like it. We'll just have to wait and see

Ooh Singapore..

Well, Singapore aye Nexon? After all the hype over Magatia, Pirates, and the rest of Masteria... you choose Singapore. GG Nexon.
I still look forward to the new Mansion updates. Hopefully it won't be a cheap KMS Mansion knock-off.

September patch, October patch, November patch, December patch...

One of these has to be new Haunted Mansion + Singapore.
One of these has to be pirates (*ending* the year with a BANG and Arrr).
One of these has to be CWK part 2 - interior castle (NxProse promised before the end of the year).
The only one remaining is Magatia...for Pirates?

So let's see...

I'm gonna guess:

CWK part 2 for September (it's been 2 months or so already since part 1 was released...and they did say they attempted to squeeze part 2 in along with that same patch...so it's about time for its completion?),

New Haunted House + Singapore for October and Halloween (logically speaking...since Halloween is October 31st),

Magatia for November (Can't think of what else to add...besides, the night theme of Magatia would follow well after Halloween event...and opening up possibilities of Pirates),

And Pirates/Happyville for Christmas/New Year (ending the year with a BANG...and Arrrr).

- Ending the year with a BANG was mentioned the last year, too. So I don't think it's a pirate hint. "Arrr" is.

- Where did NxProse promise Crimsonwood Keep Part 2 before the end of the year? He only said that:

Assuming this patch is only the part I of Crimsonwood Keep, what can we expect for the part II of Crimsonwood? Maybe a major boss? If so, can we expect it in the near future?

I'll just say you won't be waiting a year.

He meant we won't be waiting until next August. But that doesn't mean we will get it before the end of the year.

And he said:

How often can we expect new Masteria expansions in the coming year?

Well, I'll say what I said before--often isn't the key, but quality/quantity is.

I still believe Krakia's going to jump in somewhere this year.

When they say Singapore, does that include both parts?

You know me. Give me some moar quests to do, and I'll be a happy camper.

I agree with Felix. Though, I was wishing for something new, but this is just fine.

I do NOT see where singapore is in this.

and singapore is one of my favorite areas, as it boasts some good quests, and also some good meso/training areas.

IT IS AWESMOE ISSAC

Can't be a "september patch" because ah, we just finished september.

oh, I see the singapore thing now.


and issac, whats against singapore :O

i <3 it
better than xiemending.

...doesn't Singapore have truckers, which are supposed to be decent experience?

At low levels, yeah. We need moar godly 6x+ places, everyone whores hoodoos at that level >__>

...doesn't Singapore have truckers, which are supposed to be decent experience?

yes, it does.

they also have mysterious path 3, in Boat Quay Town, which in SEA, they buy the maps tehre so good. they have a Humvee, and you can stand on there and be able to attack and not be able to be attacked.

SG is nice, and well, good EXP

pirates should be soon
we already have the banners and the paper about the pirates..
so that's what i think:

0.61 - pirates
0.62 - haunted mansion + singapore
0.63 - Magatia/CWK II
0.64 - CWK II/Magatia

seems cool, singapore sould be cool, we probly wont get the sg boss though. also shanghi > singapore

My prediction:

October: Halloween event, hunted house, Singapore
November: Thanksgiving+pirate, (possibily a masteria expansion with the turkeys from last year)
December: Christmas Event(don't expect anything good this patch)
January: Something very great to start the year with a bang, possibily CWK II or other masteria expansion, or hopefully MLPQ.

seems cool, singapore sould be cool, we probly wont get the sg boss though. also shanghi > singapore

how u figure that? shanghai has NOTHING with decent experience. the quests are worthless.

singapore is the opposite.2-3 maps have good EXP, and quests are decent
