I don't think we were able too. I think it was who ever hit 200 first or something along those lines.

Wow, if that isn't 100% confirmation we're getting Pirates soon, I don't know what is.

last time they gave us hints like this the patch came like 1 or 2 patchs after the hints

This is just Nexon playing their evil little mind tricks. It's how their staff gets off.

you guys and your pirate fandom....... just cause nexon got the graphics package from kms with the new pirate pics doesn't mean "OMG PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" just go suck an ice cube, settle down, and wait for the inevitable..... disappointment

I agree that using some Natilus Port backrounds in banners and stuff isn't really much of a hint, but come on. They're using the pirate character sprite in that banner, like the ones you see in the top left corner of the page. We're getting pirates soon.

Notice about the Gun that the Pirate is holding. It means that there will be no nerfing, too. However, I'm excited to see the Pirates in action in GMS.

Was already known as much. The inclusion of the gun is a nice "pineapple you" to the people who have been claiming it would be censored though.

I was always saying this Pirate stuff was a mistake and they didn't know what they're doing, but that can't be an oversight. It's not a "hint", but it is a tease.

I'm going to officially change my prediction for Pirates from "late summer or Christmas" to next patch after this major Masteria content. If I didn't already know this Masteria stuff would be so huge I'd even guess it could come this month, but I doubt if they would give so much at once, particularly when it's technically unrelated. At least when they released Leafre and 4th Job, it was all linked... Pirates are part of Victoria though.

Another thing worth noticing I think, is that these graphics appear to have been created for TCG. Which means Pirates will be included there at some point. When are the expansions coming out, and have they announced names on any of them?

Those are actually the Pirates from the KMS ad. July patch, ftw

Maybe they're getting our hopes up,and wait til next summer to release it,and each month inbetween they give us hints>.<(Highly unlikely)

It annoys me to see them keep using pirate images. >__>

They are just toying with us

I guessing v.59 is gona be crimsonwood and they gona release pirates in v.60 which would make sense cause pirates are big. They did say they had big stuff planned for us during the summer.

 Spoiler

NPC Heroes, I've seen release dates from Aug to Sept 10th, not sure what it will acctually be.

Team up with the MapleStory NPCs today!

With the NPC Heroes set, your readers get to have the NPCs fight for them! Complete their quests, and reap the rewards. This set features Athena Pierce, Grendal the really Old, Dances with Balrogs, and more NPC “Heroes” to power up your MapleStory™ decks.



And make sure to tell your readers about the special online codes that can be redeemed in the MapleStory online game Cash Shop for new online content, including NPC-themed items. There’s at least one code in every single pack.

Not sure if this is true or not, and it doesn't exactly give that great of a time frame... but that's what I've heard.

Edit: Also, theres a few speculations on Wizard of the Coast's community forums - all ranging from August to November... so yeah, still not sure. >.> Link: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1051931

Edit Edit: xD... Okay, last link - I swear. http://cgi.ebay.com/MAPLESTORY-iTCG-SET-...41234r5662 They say April 12th. It would make sense to have the Pirate NPCs in there, yes?

Notice about the Gun that the Pirate is holding. It means that there will be no nerfing, too. However, I'm excited to see the Pirates in action in GMS.

NxProse already confirmed there will be no NERF

Some are ranting one how pirates are gonna be censored due to the "guns not fitting into the E rating", would it be "edited" to fit the rating?

I'll say this: My Yeti laughs well everytime he sees a thread like that.

Also...remember Ariant?
Nexon used some Ariant tiles on a banner and two patches after it...we got Ariant

Nexon just loves to copy and paste clipart from different areas of the game.

Who knows, it actually could be a hint... we'd better start keeping track of these...

They used Showa sunset background 1 year before we got it.

They used English Town tiles like 6 months ago in an advertisement, and we still don't have it (good chance we'll never get it).

They used Leafre map objects in NLC, but we had to wait another 6 months before we got Leafre.

If you don't see what I'm getting at, I'll just come out and say it:

Them using graphics does not necessarily indicate that we will be getting the content related to those graphics any sooner, or at all. In other words, them using the graphics changes nothing, we will get it when we get it, and all the graphics they use from it won't change that a bit.

Yes, Afrobean, but did they use Leafre or Showa or English Town like... five times in a row? This isn't the first time we've seen pirate graphics on an ad like this.

I really hope they don't come out right now...

Because if they do! I don't have enough time to get more mesarz.
