"Maple 4th Anniversary Scroll"
Wonder what that is.
I think I can make it to level 70, with all of these 2x exp events.
"We have adjusted the EXP rate, for our anniversary month. This should help you get to your goal in no time!"
1.25x passive exp?

To re-iterate what I said in IRC: This makes so much more sense than putting them in the pineappleing CWKPQ mirite.

Oh god, I cannot wait. Everything sounds great. I'm super excited.
By the change in EXP rates, I'm guessing it's being upped to 1.5x like some other versions have?
CWKPQ Boss items? Four of them? Hell yeah. I'm guessing Rellik's goggles, Hsalf's dagger, a piece of Red Nirg's armor, and Margana's wand?

What the pineapple is this pomegranate? Are they going to fix the family entitlement stacking? We're about to have private server EXP gains...holy pineapple. 36 hours?!
Edit: I mean, I don't mind going from 135 to like 150 in three days, but that kind of takes away the challenge o-o

That's part of their masterplan.
If you can't beat private servers, be like one!

yay~ 2x events <3
-- e d i t --
most likely the maple leaf exchange will be like msea's anni event last year. at least this is what i remember from upgrading on my msea archmage:
* you use maple leafs to upgrade your maple shield into mage maple shield or thief maple shield (random stats).
*the maple earrings were from a quest, everyone can do it the upgrading was also quests, dependin on your level. i think lvl70 maple earrings took several quests.
* i believe the maple helm was a quest also, can be upgraded thru maple admin with maple leafs.

It can probably already be fixed. 2x EXP is delt with server side.
Don't let this turn into the super hype like Hackshield was.

Maker wouldn't be an "edit", it's a brand new skill.

They are lying. They are motherpineappleing lying.
Can I gain 6 levels in 36 hours with 2x and the adjusted exp? :<
And oh crap, they're actually doing the leaf exchange this year. We've even got Gaga now. Am I the only one who thinks they're actually doing things right? :f6:
Edit: Oh, and at the guy that said that the adjusted exp is probably passive 1.25x, it could be BMS's rates (2/3 the exp to level until level whatever or something).
