This patch isn't nearly as epic as a 600+ MB patch would lead you to believe, but I'll cover the more salient aspects of it. Looking at this patch, it feels more like a 10 - 20 MB patch than a 600+ MB patch.

Changes:
- It looks like Nexon has done a lot of work getting CvP set up. A lot of aspects about CvP is shown in the client-side data - such as which items are discounted and from which NPCs, which mobs have which HP (variable amount of HP per mob), and which maps give additional EXP. I applaud them for the amount of work that I see. Now let's just see if the implementation is good.
- Resistance, Dual Blade, Evan, and Aran classes have been disabled from creation. That is... if I'm reading this right.
- New world icons added - Plana & Chaos
- Cake chair. As one would expect, it's made out of cake. Unfortunately, I don't see the Pie chair to compensate. :(
- There is no PvP skill data added. There is some PvP UI data added but only some of it is translated.
- There is a PvP world select screen added. It's called the "Age of Battle", and it looks pretty hot.
- Elemental weapons still not fixed.

Gonna post the PvP world select screen?

and oh lawd, more servers is exactly what maple needs

[Locked]

Lame =/.

[Killed]

2 new worlds after announcing the world alliances? lol..

[yeahsureokuhhuh]

Wait... did they disable the wrong characters?

In order to gear up for our Chaos update this summer, we will be temporarily restricting the creation of new Dual Blades, Arans, and Evans characters from May 26th to June 29th, 2011.

[iamflip]

A lot of stuff about this patch seems like meh, but interesting at the same time.

And a PvP world select screen? What?

[ShanghaiDizzy]

Wait... did they disable the wrong characters?

Oh wow. Then again, it's not going to surprise me that they would make that kind of mistake.

[SwordStaker]

Wait... did they disable the wrong characters?

No. Resistance was disabled too I believe.

[Alilatias]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Resistance was disabled right before Chaos in KMS as well. It seems Nexon forgot to disable Evan, though. Unless Evan was never disabled in KMS.

[Suber]

Why would they add more worlds?

[Abysseon]

Yeah, resistance was disabled as well.

Any updates on the elemental weapons?

[Aggravate]

Lol at two new worlds. On the site, there's a poll right now, "Q: Help us choose a name for a new world that will launch during the Chaos update!"

I don't see Chaos at all, but Plana is at a lol1%. Nova's also leading at 39%, followed by Cosmo (14%), and Aster (7%). GG, Nexon?

That PvP select screen looks mighty decent.

[maplefreak26]

Age of Battle sounds like a terrible content update name... Nexon, stick with fan translated names please. :)

[Takebacker]

I thought age of battle sounded pretty cool.

[Dark Link]

Maybe it's just me, but I find it funny that they have the Cake and Pie NPCs on the opposite sides of their main guy.

[Panacea]

Combat Orders no longer cancels Hex of the Beholder.
* The game no longer crashes when using regular attacks while the Black Metus bow is equipped.
* The 50 minute timer for normal Zakum has been implemented.
* The 1 hour, 15 minute timer for normal Horntail has been implemented.

There goes my income.

[Worthyness]

time to hoard DB characters and sell them on the internets? xD

[Jon]

There goes my income.

Erm, I don't see that on the site. o:

[Punch]

Everyone vote for the world to be named "Dar" so no one joins it -.-

They still have time to change it? Just because it's there now doesn't mean it won't change. See BB Tespia.
