Cash Inventory Transfer UTC: February 22 (after maintenance) – February 28 (after maintenance) Do you have a cash item you’ve wanted to move to another character on your account? Now you can! We're bringing back the Cash Inventory Transfer Event! For a limited time, you will be able to transfer most cash items between your characters within the same world. Take this opportunity to share a Hyper Teleport Rock, move cash cover items between characters, move a beloved pet to a new character, and more! Transferring cash items between your characters is easy! All you need to do is follow these simple steps: Enter the Cash Shop. Pick an eligible item you would like to transfer to a different character, and move it into your Cash Inventory. Right-click the item. Click the 'TRANSFER' button. Select the recipient of the item from the drop down. Click the 'OK' button. The selected item will now appear in the other character’s Cash Inventory the next time you login to that character. Rules and Restrictions The Cash Inventory Transfer Event will begin on January 4 after the scheduled maintenance and end on January 17 right before the scheduled maintenance. You can only transfer cash items between characters in the same world. This does not include different worlds in the same world alliance. For example, you can transfer items between two characters on Mardia, but you cannot transfer an item from a character on Mardia to a character on Kradia. All jobs are able to transfer cash items between each other, but Explorers will not have the option to transfer to another Explorer because they already share their Cash Inventory. There are a few items that are not able to be transferred: EXP Coupons Potion Pot Shop Permits and Hired Merchants Friendship and Couple items Spell Trace Fever Time February 24 - February 25 Requirement: Available for all levels, in non-Reboot worlds only.

What do you expect when we already know that Winter and Summer are the only times we get major content updates; holidays and school breaks are when Maple sees the most traffic. We get minor content throughout the year (Ex: Eluna, Wondroid S2) but we can't have permanent content all the time. That's unreasonable. Limited time content is an incentive to jump on and play during the event-schedule which is sorely needed by MapleStory to retain players and keep them engaged in this ancient game. I'd rather have new permanent content too, but I don't expect anything for a while, especially not immediately after two classes were just released with their own unique areas along with all the other shit that came with Nova.
Well I want them to fix and update existing things. Events don't really change anything. With the update name I thought there might been something.
