  • MapleStory and Sword Art Online have come together for one of the coolest crossover events in gaming: You watched it. You loved it. Now LIVE it! The heroes of Sword Art Online have appeared in Maple World - join them as they brave a new dungeon and fight the monsters that protect it.

    [Image: title_01.png]Take part in a special roleplay event, based on the popular anime Sword Art Online! Enter the new SAO-themed dungeon (Lv. 13 and above) and you'll randomly transform into Kirito, Asuna or Leafa for a limited time. One to three people can enter the dungeon in a party. Talk to Kirito in the Event Hall to travel to the entrance. Note that you can only play as Sword Art Online characters while inside the dungeon, though you can purchase themed outfits from the Cash Shop (see below).

    You'll need SAO Coins to gain access to the dungeon. The number of required coins will depend on the difficulty chosen (Normal or Premium). SAO Coins can be purchased from the Cash Shop. You can access the SAO Dungeon once a day without using SAO Coins by speaking to Kirito.

    [Image: ss_01.png][Image: title_02.png]When you step through the portal and enter the SAO Dungeon, you will randomly transform into Kirito, Asuna, or Leafa, and will be able to fight using their skills. Utilize abilities such as The Eclipse, which allows Kirito to attack enemies in all directions with his dual blades, or Star Splash, which allows Asuna to slice foes at the speed of light.

    You cannot use your own equipment or skills while in the dungeon. If you need to recover HP and MP, you'll have to hunt Ragout Rabbits for sustenance.

    [Image: ss_02.png][Image: title_03.png]Defeat all the monsters on each floor to progress. As you venture deeper inside the dungeon, you will randomly encounter bosses from Sword Art Online, including The Gleam Eyes, The Skull Reaper and The Fatal Scythe. Defeat a boss and you'll find Asuna waiting for you in a special room. She'll reward you with a random item, such as a cape, potions and much more!

    You can receive different rewards depending on which boss you defeat, which difficulty you beat them on, and how many times you claimed victory. Clear the dungeon multiple times and you'll be awarded special medals! If you defeat a boss more than once, you can even receive a familiar with their likeness.

    [Image: ss_03.png][Image: title_04.png]Our new dungeon isn't the only way to experience Sword Art Online - for a limited time, you can dress up like Kirito, Asuna, Leafa and even Yui, with special items available in the Cash Shop.

    [Image: ss_04.png]Get ready to enter the world of Sword Art Online!

Obligatory filler patch.

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - ¬Rob - 2014-09-10

I'd rather have no patch than this.

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - danielcatu - 2014-09-10

I'm only interested on this
 Spoiler

would be nice if they open BT creation again

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Zerard - 2014-09-10

So SAO and only SAO.

And I thought the last patch was boring.

What is Maplestory's age demo supposed to be, again? I remember reading in an old interview that it was 17 and older, or college students, at one point. Then, I heard that it was particularly aimed at 12 and under. Now, they're running an event for which the only english showing has been... on a late night [adult swim] block. Who are they aiming at, exactly?


Yes, I know, another version of MS had this event. Just sort of makes me wonder. If anyone is wondering about that "17 and older" comment, I'll elaborate in a future post. Sort of multitasking right now. But I believe the interview had something to do with the Phantom Forest...

Oooookay...

Not interested in this.

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - OrionTempest - 2014-09-10

Only really interested in the Familiars and maybe the medals if they count in your total.

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Mandalay - 2014-09-10

Only interested if the NX items are permanent and those hairs are hats, not actual hair.

Don't give a damn about the dungeon after the words "capes, potions, and more." I don't need any more Reindeer Milk.

If extractions show nothing interesting, then I'm going to stay away from Maple mostly. It's time for me to go back to school/work/slavery.

I'm more curious how Asuna is waiting to reward you if you're playing Asuna... :f6:

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Dark Zero - 2014-09-10

*Watching this while I am playing Fire Emblem*
Me: Err...Better to play the original *yaoming face*
*Keeps playting Fire Emblem*

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - dowie - 2014-09-10

Oh hey a cash grab filler event !

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Christian - 2014-09-10

What a waste

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Kobe - 2014-09-10

lol this is fucking bad

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - Sephie - 2014-09-10

It kinda sucks to see everyone so blasé and negative. This SAO crossover was partially a result of this.

Probably the same way Ayame allows you into Hieizan Temple while you're playing Ayame.

Holy pomegranate the entitlement and unwarranted bashing in this thread. Don't like it, don't participate. You all voted for this.

v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights - CroM - 2014-09-10

So... they spend so many months translating SAO to GMS...

Nexon, have you ever paused to consider how many Americans know and likes SAO? This would actually benefit SAO more than Nexon. GG...

More likely than not, giant robots would work better than a half-baked romance story.

And even though I myself liked SAO, I would never want it to be tainted by the likes of Maplestory and Nexon. Sigh...

Hairstyle but it's like a 1/7 chan----well, you can take a look and judge for yourself. :b

People do complain a lot in the internet so there is no surprise there. Plus, there's a medal to look forward to. Confused
