Gday mate! Were fired up for MapleStory Down Under, our week-long appreciation of all things Oz!
While the majority of Global MapleStory users are from the Northern Hemisphere, MapleStory is after all, a global game. Every community that makes a second home in Maple World brings a unique contribution to the game. In the case of our Aussie Maplers, its their great sense of humor, cheerfulness in the face of challenging PQs, and tough pioneer spirit that help inspire others and improve the Maple community - the same qualities that built Australia into a great nation!
Heres what to look forward to this week!
Special 2x EXP/Drop: Finally, a 2x EXP/Drop event friendly to Australia's time zone! Stay tuned for details!
Maplers in Australia: Take your MapleStory character on a photo journey through Australia for your chance at some great prizes!
The Great Australian Adventure: Get to the keyboard and describe your ultimate Australian MapleStory Adventure!
Australia Trivia: How much do you know about Oz?
Australia Fun Facts: Keep an eye out for fun facts about our favorite land down under on all MapleStory web posts!
More surprises!
Lets get to our first five fun facts about Australia. Some are weird, some are funny, all are true!
The Commonwealth of Australia was formed on January 1, 1901 (1/1/01) and comprised the six original colonies.
Of the ten most poisonous spiders in the world, nine of them live in Australia.
The Tasmanian Devil actually exists, its native to the island state of Tasmania, a part of the country of Australia. It has the jaw strength of a crocodile.
The Great Barrier Reef has a mailbox. You can ferry out there and send a postcard, stamped with the only Great Barrier Reef stamp.
The Sydney Opera house was originally supposed to cost $7 million. The final cost was $102 million largely paid for by the state lottery.

inb4 this turns into an "i'm never going to australia" thread.
and well, this is nice i guess, and i'll be going around telling people "WHERE'S YOUR NAMS NAO!?11"

Global indeed... It's probably more like extending their scope by a few degrees longitudinally.
Friendly for you => not good for me right now...
Oh, nice pole-dancing bunny =P

Hmm, I think my buddy will sure appreciate the 2x in his timezone for once. Still though, this whole thing comes as a surprise, this is about the first time that oMS has actually done something to live up to their name, and it only took some 6 years? Very nice.

"and all the Aussies wake up to feel the fresh air of 2x later"
MapleStory Down Under! - MetaSeraphim - 2011-05-16
Oh, I get it now. GMS is going to act all buddy buddy with Australian players and then BANG! BOOM! SURPRISE! Australia MapleStory for only Australia players opens up and GMS IP bans Australia.

Next, special x2 EXP and DROP for israel time zone

inb4 players in North America waking up early in the morning for Australia 2x.
MapleStory Down Under! - Sarah - 2011-05-16
Can't wait until most of North America wakes up early / stays up late and takes all of the good training spots during the event.

Someone with skillz with teh Photoshop or some other image editing/modification software give us an Oz (the CK instructor) with some Australian details and embellishments worthy of an Australophile. Otherwise, where can I find an Oz stock image?
Also, to join the bandwagon of InB4s:
InB4 NAMS players capitalize on the additional 2X times regardless of when they are and the Aussies playing cannot find a party or are KSed out of their maps or to frustration.
Edit: Come on now, two before I? Gotta work on brevity.
MapleStory Down Under! - ChronosXIII - 2011-05-16
AHAHAHAHHA! Global my ass.
North American players are just gonna jump on this as well since most college semesters are over already.
MapleStory Down Under! - MetaSeraphim - 2011-05-16
Can't wait until Australian players don't get to enjoy any of the 2x.
