[B][SIZE=2][SIZE=4]The Return of the Hoblin King

It is said that ages ago the Hoblin King ravaged the Valleys of El Nath with his army. He would rob and steal his way across the countryside, keeping the good citizens of this region from travelling and living in constant fear. His ruthless reign finally ended when the Chiefs of El Nath used magic to seal him in an icy tomb. Recently however, there are reports that the magic that seals the Hoblin King in his tomb have begun to weaken – and now we need your help.

[SIZE=4]The BasilVersary 5th Anniversary!

Maplers the world over have succeeded in pwning the foolish force of the Visitors. Unfortunately, mrbasil got stuck in the Visitor mothership toilet as Dr. Bing initiated the warp escape sequence! And just as BasilMarket's 5th anniversary was about to start on October 5th! All hope is not lost. Solve 31 daily riddles on BasilMarket.com and send mrbasil the toilet security system password so he can escape a life of putrid potty.

You must be a registered Basiler to see and participate in the event. The first person to correctly answer each daily riddle will receive a 10,000 NX code. Send in the complete password and be entered in a random drawing for a shiny new netbook computer! All this courtesy of mrbasil!

Happy Anniversary!

I wouldn't read too much into them doing a fansite thing with basil.

street Wrote:What? The newspaper is made by hime. Hime picks out events she finds worthy to put in to the newspaper.

The notice over at basil said nexon provided them with 30 10k nx cards so it would be featured in the news. If that is not enough that basil and nexon are together i don't know what is.
