<div style="text-align: left;">Global MapleStory is more than a game. Its a community of people the world over who come together every day to experience adventure, excitement, and fellowship. Now, for the first time in MapleStory history, we would like to publicly recognize those individuals who have made great contributions to the MapleStory community.

Please join us in congratulating the winners in the First Annual MapleStory Community Awards!

All four winning Maplers will receive an exclusive in-game medal as well as a trophy hand-sculpted by Nexon Americas very own web designer and resident artist.

The medals will not come with any stats, but are one-of-a-kind and will serve to distinguish the winning Maplers in-game.*

ShiKage Wrote:That's the trophy? Seriously?

I thought that was just an image they tacked on of a sculpture some middle-schooler made in art class for a project.

Sarah Wrote:Also, if I didn't already hate Nexon and dislike maple this would've been the last straw for me. Giving out specialized in-game collectibles for the biggest kiss-asses is completely unacceptable.

Mute Wrote:Hey sarah can you move please, you're blocking the sun way up where you're at.
Jesus. Are you people ever satisfied? They finally do something to show they're more than just a money-hungry game company by awarding people something trivial and pointless for simply being recognizable members of the site forums, and you're upset?
How the f'uck are you ever going to be satisfied with the company? You complain that they're idiots, that they're inept, that they don't care about others, and that they don't do their jobs. We get it, you dislike Nexon. Now can you please stop using whatever excuse you find to state the obvious of your character?

Honestly that trophy looks pretty cool IMO. Liking the details on the teeth.

Sarah Wrote:I don't care about the trophy -- creating one-of-a-kind items that are completely unachievable for me, as a collector, is what is unacceptable. You need to get over whatever grudge you've been holding the last two weeks and stop following me around just to quote me and say HIGH HORSE POST. Don't like what I have to say? Ignore me, chump.

Shikage Wrote:Boohoo. There are items I'll never be able to collect in this game because they're special items given only to a select group of people.
