Nexon Wrote: Design-a-Monster Contest

December 12 – December 31

Have you ever wanted to be the person who designs monsters for MapleStory? If you could - what would they be like? All of the monsters in our game have their own unique strengths and challenges that players must overcome, in order to defeat them! On top of that, our monsters have unique physical traits that make them stand out so that no two monsters are exactly alike!

Introducing the "Design-a-Monster" contest! In this contest you will be tasked to design a monster for MapleStory! The grand prize winner will have their entry submitted directly to the MapleStory development and Production teams for consideration of implementation into the game at a later period of time! Your submission for this contest should include your monster’s physical description, skills, damaging abilities, attacks, and other aspects that would be unique or different about the monster. Artwork showing the monster is encouraged but not necessary.

To enter, head over to the Official MapleStory Forums and post your submission in the Official Design-a-Monster thread here!

You can find the Official Rules for this contest here!

Quote:2. Eligibility: The Promotion is open only to: (a) legal residents of: (i) the United States of America (including all territories and possessions thereof); Canada (excluding Quebec); (iii) Australia; or (iv) New Zealand;

I'd provide a link to Artasi's post in the Nexon forums that says so, but their forums seem to be down now (victims of DDoS as well?)
