Why wait to download the new patch? Download NOW and avoid waiting on Tuesday.
The Manual Patch is only available to players who already have the latest version 0.96 installed. So if you have an older version of MapleStory, you will have to wait until launch to update the game.
To manual patch please follow these instructions.
1. Download the Manual Patch here
2. WAIT! Do not proceed until the Jubilation update begins and the game servers are down.
3. Copy the Manual Patch files into your MapleStory folder, typically C:\Nexon\MapleStory
4. Once the Jubilation update completes and the game servers are back up...play MapleStory!
Please note if you copy the manual patch files into your MapleStory folder before the Jubilation update begins, you will not be able to start the game. Once the files are copied, MapleStory will only start after the Jubilation update is complete.

I thought it was some free minigame until I read the thread. Then my hopes died.
Eh... I'll skip this patch. I'll continue working on my Shadower in JMS and my Sword Knight in Elsword US. The Maple Anniversary patch does nothing for my Hero or Ice Mage in GMS. :|

2 days until elsword. PUMPED.
Only thing I'll probably do is try to collect some maple weapons to blow them up later. Or something. I don't know yet.

Bug Fixes/Changes/Known Issues
* Lunar Dew drops for all Explorer jobs doing the Empresss Might quest (the drop rate remains extremely low by design).
* Modifications have been made to the Balloon Hunt and Maple Hill to combat vacuum hacking.
* Certain headbands that caused hairstyles to flatten in v.96 no longer cause hairstyles to flatten.
Nexon removed them, posting them in case they remove them again before Notify grabs them.
Since we know that the majority of MapleStory's player base are complete idiots and doesn't know nor read thoroughly before doing something... they shouldn't be posting a link to the manual patch now, since the patch starts tomorrow night.
