[B]NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER: BLASTER[/B]

Meet Blaster, MapleStory’s newest character! As the new warrior of the Resistance, Blaster comes armed with arm cannons ready to blast everything to smithereens! With each powerful shot, you also fill up your Dynamo Gauge, and when it is fully charged, you can release even more explosive attacks.

[B]HEROES OF MAPLE ACT 3[/B]

Heroes of Maple continues! Many centuries have passed, and the six heroes of the Maple World are being called on again as the Black Mage’s commander, Damien, seeks to destroy the World Tree. Join Mercedes, Aran, Phantom, Luminous, Evan and Shade in Act 3, as they use the airship, Abraxas, to travel to the city of Seoul in the real world in search of the Transcendent Stone.

[B]CHANGES COME TO DAWNVEIL[/B]

The continent known as Dawnveil will undergo a large update, splitting up and relocating the regions found here (Commerci, Tynerum, Arboren), and removing the Dawnveil continent entirely. The Commerci Trade Voyage will be rebalanced by lowering the entry barrier and overall difficulty and by adding new rewards. The Episode Book system will also be removed, and many of the existing Commerci quests and achievements will be reorganized into a new Commerci Republic theme dungeon.

[B]MAPLEHOOD WATCH EVENT[/B]

It’s up to you to protect the neighborhood from monsters! During the event period, help out NPCs by hunting monsters that are hanging around nearby. The NPCs will reward you with a random Gachapon item, hair/face coupon, or enhancing item depending on what day it is. Tuesday is Gachapon Day, Thursday is Beauty Day, and Saturday is Enhancement Day! This is a great way for you to try out free Cash items and even get your hands on some BRAND NEW items!

[B]MORE EVENTS[/B]

Create a new Blaster character, or advance your Citizen to the Blaster job, and you’ll earn equipment and restorative items as you hit certain leveling milestones. There’s something special for Reboot world too! Create any new character in Reboot world and level up to receive rewards such as hair/face coupons, recipes, cubes and more. Then fight Ursus the Mighty and complete quests to earn Heroes Coins, as well as receive double the amount of mesos and crafting materials from Ursus. And the Burning Project continues, giving one of your characters under Lv. 150 an additional two levels for every one when you level up!

So this whole split of Dawnviel makes me think one of two things.
A. They gave up on adding more areas for it
B. It's made so they can add more areas and not have them so together, because let's face it, Aroboren isn't even connected
C. Its made so new players can have easier access

Anyone know from China if the map is still the same? I.E what it is now?

I'm gonna be pretty peeved if i have to do any tedious prequests again

I think it caused discrepancies with Heroes of Maple Masteria lore. On the whole expanding Maple World like that is quite ambitious, so I hope kms picks up the idea.

Also, what are the new rewards in Commerci?

Just to cross-post, most of the information can be found in this thread:

Also it sucks that this will happen. I was looking forward to the Heaven Empire.

what will happen to Gollux and gollux quest? we cant fight them no more? and item and coins and equip

What will happen to beast tamer? quest? job ? can't make them anymore?

From what I know. Nothing is being removed

They literally just said that the Dawnveil part of it is being removed (as the story contradicts what KMS has).

CHANGES COME TO DAWNVEIL

Comemrci and Gollux still remain, which is the only content I actually care about.

I hope that we get a character slot for Blaster.
Also saved the name Bayformer for it.

I keep on wishiing KMS will decide to develop Masteria into a full fleshed new area. How awesome would it be for KMS to pick up Gollux and redesign it using the 2D skeleton technology? or redesign Commerci Voyages so they consists of many minigmes + Bosses, instead of killing mobs in a very small map for all Eternity?
