3!6!9! Event

http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/events/...ess/00G5U/

The 3!6!9! Event is back for another round! Check the event details below.

Details:

June 5, 2013 - June, 18, 2013

• Requirements: Stay logged in for 1+ hours.
  
• You will receive bonus EXP for every third monster killed.
  
• The bonus EXP increases the longer you stay logged in.
  
• Bonus EXP does not apply to party play or boss monsters.
  
• Bonus EXP breakdown:
  • 1-2 hours -- 30\%
    
  • 2-3 hours -- 100\%
    
  • 3-4 hours -- 150\%
    
  • 4-5 hours -- 180\%
    
  • 5+ hours -- 200\%
    

Now get in there and kill some monsters!

If you stay logged in 5 hours from the start of the event, will it work after each day?

(For example, I log on June 6th, stay online for 5 hours, and my 200% exp will work on June 7, 8, 9, etc. assuming I don't log off?)

No, I'm pretty sure it resets when you log off or dc. We had this event with Root Abyss, and it worked like that.

Nevermind, I can't read.

Evo world doesn't count as party play right?

L> Hunter's Lucks.

Why is it called "3!6!9!"?

And leaving a mule for 1 hour to get 30% more exp seems like a hassle.

Only if you don't use Party EXP cores, IIRC.

Not worth it. Assuming you stay on long enough for the 200% bonus, you're only getting 500% exp for 3 kills, or 167% per kill. Contrast this with 200% per kill if you wait for a 2x event.

No. But they do count as boss mobs.

Why is it called "3!6!9!"?

Because the bonus applies to every third kill.

Yeah.. it not applying to Evo World is the killer for me.

Somehow that event seems a lot less fun.

While I was trying to figure out what 3!6!9! meant, one of the things I came up with was factorials.

But the 6th and 9th made no sense at all so that was immediately dismissed ;p.

Like you can stay on for 5 hours without dcs anyways. Oh Nexon...

Yeah, this kind of event is just annoying more than anything else with the constant disconnects.
I got disconnected 'for hack reason' three times within an hour or so levelling up a new char at ribbon pigs and mixed golems.
Seemed like levelling up was considered hacking; I'd level up and within a second, bam.

Edit:
Imagine a new player trying the game for the first time, and encountering that. Good chance they would quit.

Best place I've found for using the 3!6!9! so far is at Dim invasion.

Was that from the lag produced by levelling up?

Cool. I'm 200 an have no purpose for this event
