Coin shop extended and I still cannot use my coins because of event hall lag.

Seriously, this needs to be a precedent. Is the short term memory of whoever's in charge that bad that they can't remember that they placed these NPCs in Leafre/Henesys?

What's the reward

The NPC Maple Administrator will properly give players an Arcane Symbol if the option to recover an Arcane Symbol is selected.

What does this entail..? Do we actually get the arcane symbols we missed out on or is it something else?

While that would be nice, I wouldn't get my hopes up, so I'm assuming it's like, if you drop the Arcane Symbol you get at the beginning of Vanishing Journey, making it like impossible to progress.

Donald... wait... are you serious about this level of ridiculousness? Then what about e.g. Donald Duck?

The NPC Donald looks exactly like Donald Trump and is an obvious reference to him. It's not just a coincidence of names.
Although I have no idea why he was made that way, back when he was added.

The Damage \% stat from the Choco Power! buff has been reduced from 50\% to 20\%.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
I wonder what merchant whined about "muh boss-drop profits" to make them nerf this.

I havent logged into the game yet, someone please tell me the lag has been fixed.

And I havent used NPC Donald ever, why add a replacement to it at all?

NPC Donald is used by Nexon to send items to players.
They very rarely do it, but still need the functionality (the alternative is a GM finding the player in-game and giving them their items, which can be quite problematic if we're talking about hundreds of people).

Inb4 it's Duey and he's back in black.
"Moving forward, we will strive to keep Maple World a politically neutral environment for all of our players."
Idk why but this sounds hilarious, member 2012 election capes and whatever.

but guyz he's LITERALLY MUSSOLINI
