Krakia?

Bravo.
*slow hand claps*
We must be in versal already because Nexon sure is awesome now.

Could have something to do with that alien image that surfaced all those months ago.

Holy crap. This looks amazing. I'm glad I got into Tespia now. :O Since I don't have a GMS account for myself, this will probably be the only chance for me to actually see the area.

I hope it's a high level area.


Also, one of my first thoughts of this area : It looks like Omega Sector done right. I can't wait to see it first-hand.

One of the quests telling of how the Keep fought against the Krakians stated they were at a disadvantage in numbers not in power. Although it could have a wide range of levels just like Masteria has always had. *crosses fingers for epic battle against the Alchemist* @ below Id say it what has kept the area concealed for so long.

I wonder whats with that grid in the sky, a barrier?
And I wonder if we can really ride in the ships. o:
As something more than a dumb mount at least.

I wonder whats with that grid in the sky, a barrier?

It's inside one of the objects floating in NLC.

 Spoiler

Not much is known about exactly what this is. Presumably, it's an overgrown jungle type area. It may be related to the "Beanstalk" (a name from the data.) that passes through the Mountain Slopes map. Additionally, there are still a number of aquatic-themed weapons in the string data that have not been released. If this area is an Amazon jungle type area near a river, these weapons might be obtainable here.

Some of the weapons that MIGHT come from here include the River Rattler, Barracuda Bow, and the Devil Rain throwing stars.

VERSAL

 Spoiler

A flurry of items reference this place or are directly from this place. Elpam Gorlab is also from this place. All we know about it is told to us by him: Mushmom is the cruelest and Strongest monster in Versal, and the Balrogs are friendly and loyal to humans. There is not much sunlight here; only 3 months of the year are lit. They also use cheese as perfume, though it may just be a bizarre joke on Nexon's part. This place serves as the mirror universe of Maple World. NxProse has been reluctant to comment on it, but he said that one speculation (made before July 30th) was spot on. Attempts to find this post weren't successful... However, the fact that someone could describe the place correctly does in fact confirm it is a real location that one can visit.

Update!
So, as many of you know as of this week, the christmas event is tied into Versal. In particular, Elpam is being joined by someone else from his world: O-Pongo the mouse, who celebrates the Versal equivalent of Christmas, which is rather simply "Versalmas". The key of the event is that you must choose whether to celebrate Versalmas or "Maplemas", which is our usual christmas stuff. Additionally, you have to convince another NPC to join the same side as you. If more people support Versal, everyone is supposed to get a special item.

Update 2
Versalmas is a holiday in Versal which celebrates the end of their dark portion of the year and the beginning of the "30 Days of Delight." Over time, the originally 99 days of light have shortened down to a mere 30. Versalmas is a legal holiday in the Land of Versal, and is presided over by O-Pongo, the Versalmas mouse, and his Ostrich Pwnzer. He must deliver a present to everyone, regardless of how far away they are, which is how he got stranded here in the Maple World with Elpam, since Elpam was last on the list. They tend to eat very strange foods in celebration of Versalmas, such as Caramel covered Onions (similar to Caramel Apples), Ssiws Cheese (Swiss), Smoken Salmon (the only normal food on their menu), and Sugar-coated Olives. They decorate cacti instead of trees. Since they live in the dark for most of the year, their skin tends to be very pale, so sunburn during the 30 days of light is a real threat; thus, Sunblock is a common gift to protect friends.

According to an old Versal myth, the sun once shone throughout their land as much as it does in the Maple World. This allowed them to grow abundant Onion crops, and they lived in relative comfort. To ensure their crops would grow, the Versalians would hold a ceremony to worship the sun. The monsters envied their lives, and they would often steal from the fields. The leaders of the Village decided that if they could strike a deal with the most powerful creature in the woods nearby, then it would protect them from the others. In return, they would share their crops.

This pact with the beast was so successful that soon, they had far more Onions than they needed. With such success, they soon gave up their ceremonies in honor of the sun. Without these ceremonies, the sun grew gradually weaker and weaker. with so much food lying around, the beast began to grow unhappy with his share of the crops and wanted more. If the Versalians refused, the beast threatened to eat them; so, they continually gave in. Eventually, nothing would satisfy its hunger. There was only one thing it could eat that could grant the amount of energy it desired: The sun. The monster leapt into the sky and devoured the sun.

The skies grew permanently dark. Their crops couldn't grow without sunlight, and they began to starve. The monsters which the beast had once kept at bay now raided the village once more. A group of brave hunters decided they could take no more, and headed right into the beast's lair. After a long battle, the beast finally coughed up what remained of the sun. It flew back up into the sky, but it was so weakened after all that time that it couldn't shine as it once had. The villagers began singing their songs in honor of the sun once more. This would give it the strength it needed to shine once a year for 99 days. This became the basis of the holiday known as Versalmas.


I suspect this beast may be the Versal Mushmom...

KRAKIA

 Spoiler

Krakia is an expansion which has only appeared on the expansion radar in the last few days. It's a lost city that was located in the Krakian Jungle (where the jungle's name comes from.) and populated by people who made good use of cybernetic enhancements. Dr. Krakia, Professor Foxwit's evil nemesis, has seemingly found this town and set up his base here, where the Turkey Commandos are produced. They seem like they are only a trial of things to come... I would expect this place to be a "Mad Scientist's Lair" type area, filled with monsters that have been improved with cybernetic implants and/or other scientific means. Additionally, if Dr. Krakia and Foxwit know each other, then it seems likely that Krakia is also from the future (or maybe even the past...)

Krakia matches perfectly.

How did I miss those posts? Haha.
Interesting~

WHAT IS THIS. I DON'T EVEN. GIVE.

I really like the looks of it, looks like Neo futurisic with a organic twist.

OT: am trolling basil about this being in bigbang.

In the end, It is cash shop area with weak monster that got boost of EXP

OH S[size=7]HIT[/size].

That's all I have to say.

I officially apologize for my stupid assumptions about them stopping the Masteria development. In fact, not having any updates like this about it for about two years led me (and many others) to think about that.

I now have REALLY high expectations for this place. Since it took them so long to make it, it must be simply AWESOME. The Masteria stuff they make (especially when it's this big) always is. I jizzed in my pants by looking at the image.

I sure hope they used some of the new concepts KMS has introduced to the game (such as being able to show your character in quest windows, and various new functions which were added to MapleStory), and, obviously, the biggest hope always is that there will be high leveled monsters/bosses. Who knows, we might be getting a PQ as well.

THE BGMs.. MUST... LISTEN..

I SIMPLY CANT WAIT

I noticed. Anyways, I wonder how high the content will reach since Nexon's allowing Tespians to port their characters.

Your pissing people off.

Your pissing people off.

You're pissing people off.

Btw do you guys think its coming out within this month or on tespia first.

Then he's doing it right. : )

It's basil,thats a given. It's funny as hell watching him do it but it's basil, they get pissed for saying hi

Btw do you guys think its coming out within this month or on tespia first.

I think this maybe,could be September. I think and I think some might agree, that they really did have plans and this is just the start.

Btw do you guys think its coming out within this month or on tespia first.

Obviously, it's going to be on Tespia first. They wouldn't bring out Tespia for nothing when they could use it to test their content before implementation. Even Nexon isn't that stupid.

I hate you D:
But it's funny as hell to see people fall for it. Successful trolls are successful.
