Anyway, not too excited.

[Worthyness]

everyone's favorite mini games!

They're the only ones we have so i guess they are our favorites...

meh doesn't look too intersting as usual.

[NinjaKitties]

I suspect hax in CPQ event.

Anyway, not too excited.

I can see it now: "y u not kep up wit supa roar, noob"

[Kalovale]

I read that as "The GM siesta day" and was like "uhh.. another everyday?"

[SlayerZach]

The only thing that I seem to care about is the GM Trivia. On a side note, I 'd at "MapleMas Mobs".

[Spideyjvc]

I love the friendly reminder at the end.

Edit: Oh, good job, Nexon.

During the Sweepstakes Period, a GM will send out a notice in-game to all the Members playing at the time of the Notice. The notice will let the Members know that the event is starting and will request that Members gather to play Omok or Match with the GM. Sponsor will randomly choose eleven (11) Members who participate in this event as the winners (“Winners”), subject to the conditions set forth herein. After the Winners are chosen, Sponsor shall send notification to each Winner via e-mail which shall also include a request for Winner's login ID. The Winner shall have 48 hours to respond to Sponsor's message and supply its login information to be eligible to receive the Prize. Upon response, Sponsor shall then verify whether the Winner is in good standing with Sponsor's Web Site. Disqualification and the selection of an alternate winner may result from any of the following: [1] In the event Sponsor identifies a Winner who has been banned from the Web Site, [2] the return of any notice as undeliverable; [3] potential winner's failure to respond to Sponsor's notification within 48 hours of receipt and [4] any other non-compliance of the Rules. In the event of disqualification, a new winner will be chosen subject to the same procedure set forth above.

Really? Why would you make it easier for scammers to get player information? You should know by now there are people gullible enough to give their information to a "GM email" even without the possibility of a prize. Why would you do that? Why not stick to the "GMs will never ask for your information" policy? Breaching that line only makes it easier for someone to pose as a GM asking players for their information so they can "win a prize", or to "fix a database error dealing with your character".

This is my friendly reminder to everyone. Please, make sure the email you've received from Nexon is actually a email sent by Nexon. If it sounds too fishy, don't respond to it. You're probably better off missing out on 5k Maplepoints than taking the risk of having your account information compromised. It may just be your account information, which isn't really much to work on in itself when hacking your account, but if they happen to get a hold of your email information somehow then you're screwed over.

Actually, if you actually get an email from someone claiming to be a GM, and they know you play Maple, chances are they know some information about you already. They certainly aren't just emailing random addresses in hopes of finding that one person who plays Maplestory.

I'm only disappointed because if Nexon asks for any bit of information like this, then it just makes it easier for someone to pose as Nexon and ask for a bit more. "We need your login ID and password as well as your name to Verify that you are at good standing with our website."

I'm not sure if they've done this with other events, but come on. The most information I'd expect them to ask of you is your address to ship out prizes like ipods and Maplestory plushies or something. I don't think they should ask in in game information of you for such prizes. I don't see why its even needed.

[Smooth Criminal]

Oh boy. Me and Izzy will be all over this second Trivia Event.

But what the hell is "Cold Snap"?

-Cold Snap! There’s a change in the weather as the GMs will transform you and magically bring us snow!

No, I don't understand it at all. An event where we get morphed and Nexon randomly rains Cash Shop weathers? Oh fun.

[Joe.2]

-MapleMas Mobs: GMs will summon festive monsters for the occasion. Smack ‘em down with a happy song in your heart!

Kid Snowman and Lost Rudolph pls *-*

[Sarah]

Kid Snowman and Lost Rudolph pls *-*

No. The chances of anyone worthwhile (aka ME) getting them are so slim that I'd rather not see them at all.

[Cyanne]

Questions so far for windia were highest leveled drake, father of Alex, dex of bronze chain boots, names of 3 goblin bosses, and Dr. Feeble's title.

[finalbragade]

we got in mardia what color are paul the Event assistance hats
and
What two monsters in the excavation site hold stuff in front of their face
and
What NPC says "Hey all" and "hope you have a wonderful day today"

[Cyanne]

Competition was fierce.... I couldn't win even with spamming:



Unless the answer was plastic surgeon?

[AutoPunch]

Nothing so far in Demethos.

[Retalion]

-Take a Hike: Listen carefully when the GMs tell you a story. Hidden within is a clue about their next destination. If you can successfully follow them from place to place, you’ll get to hear their full tale!

Awesome, now I can laugh at their awesome stories about how they found hackers and were motivated to do something about it!

...unless Im misreading that part completely.

[Nerdy]

1. What is the name of the Fortune Teller seen around MS?
2. Which class can do the quest Collecting for Maya?
3. What is the intelligence requirement of Esther Shield?
4. Give the name of the last monster of Ludibrium Party Quest.
5. Give the name of the NPC you should talk to to begin the Herb Town Party Quest.

I won the first question (lol), and got all the other question right besides number 3. However, as Cyanne said, competition is fierce. If you even spend time reading the entire question you aren't fast enough. X_X

[SlayerZach]

1. Who are the 3 Goblin Bosses of Korean Folk Town?
Congrats to pineapplski for getting the answer correct!!

[Sarah]

Khaini GMs are retarded apparently.

The asked all of the questions in blue instead of smegaing so we have no idea what their names are. And they didn't open up whispers.

So dumb.
