A small patch was released in the official servers today, to add the pre-creation event for Lara (and a pretty video!) as well as a surprising event for Kain which other servers received earlier! I think a lot of people were complaining that Kain got rewards in other versions on release but KMS actually got nothing, so they decided to (finally) add them. In addition, the discussion board was finally reorganized! They have already set the first three topics and discussions will be underway for 1 month. KMS ver. 1.2.350 Overview <Romantic Geomancer Lara> Pre-Creation Kain <Journey of Memories> Improvements Error Fixes <Romantic Geomancer Lara> Pre-Creation The Romantic Geomancer Lara Pre-Creation event will run from June 30 to July 14. This event is open to all players. To celebrate the release of the new Anima mage Lara, you can create your character ahead of time to receive various rewards! To participate, all you have to do is login to the game and create your Lara! The rewards will be distributed after the patch on July 15, and will be available to claim until July 29. You can only receive the rewards once per Nexon ID.

Fixed an issue where if Boom Boom Reaction activated when the character was daead, the screen effect would not end and continue to be outputted. Fixed an issue where in certain situations, the Creater Step Up monthly ON AIR <Reaction Time> mission’s number did not increase normally. Fixed the Boom Boom Reaction guide quest’s description for level range monsters. Fixed an issue with the Maple LIVE information quest where it had incorrect information for Black Bean Bundle drop amounts. Fixed an issue with Flag Race’s results window where the week’s best record displayed would not be reset even after the weekly settlement. Discussion Board Reorganization The discussion board has finally been reorganized. You can see the new board here. There are now 4 main topics which users can post messages for. The current topics are open for discussion from June 30 to July 26. Boss reward reorganization Boss rewards are a part of the reward experience that is a core growth driver for the game, motivating users to challenge stronger bosses. However, the current composition of boss rewards in MapleStory is not sufficient as a growth driver. Character growth experience reorganization To improve the character growth experience of MapleStory, we have constantly adjusted level-up difficulty and tried to improve in a reas such as hunting, quests, and events. However, many players are still complaining about high level-up difficulty and hunting fatigue.
