The Global MapleStory exclusive Anniversary event is back! Cake and Pie will once again battle it out to show which pastry reigns supreme!


As baked goods-battling veterans know, Cake vs. Pie is an epic PvP style event in which Maplers are assigned to either the Cake or Pie faction. Once assigned to a side, players race to turn in enough Cake or Pie pieces to their faction leader to trigger a showdown against the rival faction members. The winners will receive control of a town as well as special Insignias that can be used to purchase awesome prizes!

Cake vs. Pie 2 is no duplicate dessert. Weve made some huge changes to ensure that this years battle is bigger and better than ever!


More Fights and No Lag!


Cake vs. Pie 2 means double the baking fun with two all new modes:


1. Team Siege Mode: Cake vs. Pie is all about territory control. To take control of a town this time around, youll need to coordinate your team of up to five players to take down the defenses of the opposing faction or defend against an assault. The attacking team can try to destroy the defending teams barriers directly or summon mobs to help them, while the defending team must strengthen their barriers and destroy the attacking teams minions.

2. All New Boss Battle: You cant take over towns without first getting your hands on Cake and Pie pieces. While you can get them off ordinary mobs, the most epic way to obtain these little pastries is to participate in the all new boss battle! At 15 and 45 minutes past each hour Cake and Pie faction members can form ten-man teams and try to defeat the other factions boss. Its a race to see which side can defeat the giant baked goods fastest and when your team is victorious your will be showered in Cake or Pie pieces.

For details on both new modes, be sure to check out the update notes.

Better Battles!


No more crowds of Maplers attacking the same boss mob! Instead of fighting in town, Cake and Pie faction members that want to throw down will now be transported to special battle maps to fight it out in both modes. Dont worry! Whenever possible, youll be paired with and against players that are close to your characters level.


Factions Change Each Day!


Recruited to the Cake team when your allegiance actually belongs to Pie? Dont worry, this year your faction has the possibility to change each day, giving you the chance to battle from both sides of the oven.

Better Rewards!


This year since the battles are more epic, we had to make the rewards sweeter as well. Here are just some of the prizes you can get by turning in Insignias:







Sweet tooth at the ready! You wont want to miss out on Cake vs. Pie 2!

hahaha, yea right, where are my duped WS?

Nexon teasing players by showing the Muscial Note Chair and it not being on the reward list.

Pretty sure they were just putting that in there as a general example of some person in the Cake faction.

That is just what they want you to think.

MMMM, It smells like exploits.

Ew, the chair is just made out of cut and pastes from Banned Story Monsters. And if those shoulderpads are time limited, looks like there won't be anything worthwhile to trade insignias for... =_=;

Just to say, GMS isn't at fault for that. MSEA had the chair first. GMS just changed the 5 to a 6.

Instead of copy-pasting, they could have made a new exclusive gMS chair? (:

Nope. And they didn't fully copy paste, they edited it.

I don't even think Nexon even knows wtp they're doing with this event LOL.
They say "All channels", yet 95% of the players were sent to CH1 and CH2 for the event in Khaini.
Plus the actual "Team Fight" battle is barely explained. All I read was "Attack Barrier, stop monsters". What's the orb thing for!?

They took away Clean Slates, Chaos, and White Scrolls from the rewards.
