GM's, Talk Like a Pirate day = Pirates?

Totally agreed.

I noticed in the several Tespia rounds that NEXON never or almost never fixed the reported bugs, just the major ones.

Yeah, probably what you're saying is right: Tespia is only for public relations.

I'm wondering when the next Tespia round will be..

Look, they didn't let us test Masteria content because it was the first time ever MapleStory got that content. But maybe with Pirates, they will let us test the patch..

I doubt it, but who knows.. usually the patch comes after 3 weeks of Server Checks / after 1 month from the last patch, doesn't it?

And Tespia submissions are opened one week before the patch. Then they open Tespia and close it the day of the GMS patch. Now, shouldn't this week be the new patch? If yes, then we won't have Tespia again.

It's not sure they will do a patch, tho. NEXON doesn't always make patches after 1 month. Sometimes they delay them, like they did with the Crimsonwood Keep's one. They did like 4-5 Server Maintenances before the patch, when they usually do 3 (if I'm not wrong).
