Maple Times -- January 14, 2011

 With images and videos and stuff

Dateline: Henesys, January 14, 2011

[B]Happy Friday, Maplers! How do you describe a week like we’ve just had? In one word – “awesome!” In a few more words, we’ve got some amazing stuff to share with you this week. First up is Episode one of our brand new Web series “Blabber Box.” Check out the video and learn all about what’s happening with Nexon’s games (there’s a pretty funny MapleStory cartoon in there too.)

The big in-game news though is the coming of the Mechanic. Naturally Maple Times wouldn’t leave you hanging without offering some help. How about great articles about your new best friend, the giant Mech, as well as a brand new AcornStory to help you get started? Naturally there’s also some great events and excellent sales in the Marketplace to get you excited, too. All in all, it’s a great week to be a Mapler! Stick with Maple Times for everything you need to know about MapleStory!

AcornStory -- Playing a Mechanic

The Big Bang has come! The evil Black Mage has returned and in a single moment all of MapleWorld has changed. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the Big Bang brings with it exciting new ways to play the game including three new “Resistance” classes. In this edition of MapleStory, we’ll be focusing in on “The Mechanic,” an exciting class that gives you the chance to ride a powerful robot into battle against the forces of evil!

The Mechanic is the latest hero to join the underground Resistance against the Black Wings. This evil cult has taken over the town of Edelstein and is using its resources to revive the dreaded Black Mage. Unlike the Battle Mage and the Wild Hunter, the Mechanic isn’t blessed with special powers or an animal companion. Instead Mechanics are just ordinary citizens of Edelstein who use their brave hearts and mechanical ingenuity to create home-brew weaponry to use against the Black Mage’s minions. Together with the other heroes of Maple World, they will battle back against the darkness!

Join the Resistance!
