http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates...hts/00I6Q/

• Autumn has arrived and Maplers are heading back to school... old school, that is! Celebrate the Maple That Was with the "Back to the Old Maple" event, and become a student at Shinsoo High in the new FriendStory content.
  
  Some additional features are being improved as well—Night Walker is back with a new level cap and updated skills. If that weren't enough, now you can play through a new story at Mushroom Castle! Lots of events round out the Cygnus Awakening: Night Walker update. Read on for the details.
  
  Night Walker has come out of the shadows and is more skilled than ever! Take this class all the way up to Lv. 250 and unlock Night Walker's new skills, such as Dark Omen, a powerful ability that summons a flock of Shadow Bats to attack your enemies. Master the ninja star as you learn to toss 5 throwing stars at the same time with the Quintuple Star skill.
  
  Ah, the Maple World of yesteryear, what fond memories we have of you! MapleStory has changed a lot since its launch, but now you have the chance to relive your favorite moments. Return to classic maps and take on powerful versions of Victoria Island bosses, including Mushmom and Dyle. Complete quests to receive Old Maple Coins, which can be exchanged for a variety of classic equips. It's our most nostalgic event ever!
  
  Maple World and the real world collide! Transport your Mapler from the digital realm to reality and take on the role of Shinsoo High's newest student. Arm yourself with a trusty smartphone and meet famous MapleStory characters in a new setting. Hang out with Mihile, Hawkeye, Eckhart, and all the rest in this alternate reality version of Maple World. Go to class, stand up to bullies, play matchmaker and receive rewards!
  
  It's time for Princess Violetta to find a husband, but the Mushking isn't the best matchmaker. Help him find the perfect groom for his daughter in this updated theme dungeon (Lv. 60 and above). Many suitors are competing for Princess Violetta's hand, and it's up to you to make sure the competition goes smoothly. Watch out! Rumors abound that the princess may be in danger...
  
  Last month Mr. Lee invited you onboard his plane as he set off on a thrilling vacation... unfortunately, the plane hit some turbulence and now you've crashed on an island full of mysterious creatures! This event has been updated with new monsters and new escape routes and is now available as ongoing non-instanced content. Journey to the lost island with your friends and gather the materials needed to make your escape as you fight off dangerous monsters along the way.
  
  Who wants to play some sports? It's Maple Sports Day, and there are all kinds of events to compete in. Complete quests to receive Sports Day Coins, which can be exchanged for various scrolls, Victory equips, and even a chair! And remember, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Soon there will be turkeys to hunt and delicious food to eat, plus the return of Sengoku High.
  
  
  
  
  

Night walker in time for Halloween eh?

>Mr Lee's island as new content

hmmmm

>sengoku high

lol go away just release dark racks in cs pls

And we're getting Mush Castle back, and Back to Old Maple BS again. Hope it's somewhat worthy, ie not exploited like it was last time.

And obvious NW hype.

oh my fucking god finally. I've had my Noblesse for like 5 months now and I can't handle it any longer.

I was just thinking earlier today that it would be cool if they released this in time for Halloween

This is a lot of stuff in one shot. Now I can't think of anything valuable in the pipeline for winter.

New permanent mounts you say? Non-instanced though?

Aw yeah, time to sell my 30+ sets of Cilbi

Are they extending Lee's? Also, they're bringing back the shitty Old Maple event?

From what I can tell, they're making Lee's permanent content, but changing it up a little. Different maze, and different monsters inside of it (probably modifying the experience of the monsters some more as well, but that's just a guess of mine). It'll also not be instanced, so you'll be able to see other Maplers there/bring friends along.

So it's gonna get another nerf bat for sure.

If they're for sure making it permanent, I think it's necessary.

Yea, but I'm hoping they don't get too crazy with it if they are intending to make it a permanent thing. We don't need it deserted.

I agree, but if the experience is too high it'll be overpopulated and overused, but too low it'll be deserted. There has to be other incentives if they don't want to make it the go-to grind spot. If the incentives will remain those mounts, then I don't see it being any useful content.

I hope I can finally get the Prime Minister card.

Old Maple sounds... Interesting, I wonder how they'll pull that off.

They did this before.

Hello Mr. White Mage Teacher, sir~

The new Mushroom Castle has an entirely new set of monsters now.

Where the pineapple is the update to Hayato? At the very least give him his hyper skills.

And making Mr Lee into regular content sounds like atrocious idea. The island is just a bunch of reused elements from other pieces of content put together to create like 3 different maps then copypasted into like 10 barely modificed others. It could have been a good idea to make it permanent content if they had limited it to 1 hour daily, but without the maps being instanced you will simply waste more time looking for a map than actually training.

So who's hyped for "Cygnus: ?T?ICLGLE"?
Not even sure how you'd mess a logo up that badly, even the kerning is off.
