IGN(s): Naobito @Geto Name of your tree: The Horny Tree Description: In the middle of winter, tucked under a thick layer of snow, is the small town of Happyville. The houses are lit up with Christmas lights, and you can hear carols playing softly in the background. But if you look closer, something feels a little... off. Sometimes rudolph noses falls down from the sky, sometimes you randomly see a black n' red gift dropped in the middle of nowhere, and you can even get attacked by a matryoshka-like snowman every couple hours! It's dangerous out here! There are a lot of things you can say about Happyville, some are true and some are not, but one thing you can say for sure - there's something magical about Happyville — Christmas is L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y alive here, and usually its all fun and games and festive, but sometimes.. Sometimes things get weird. How weird? look at this damn tree I found stuck so deep into the snowy ground.. HOW DID IT EVEN GET STUCK THERE? it doesn't make sense! ITS ALL SNOW AND STONES! [yes, the letters are arranged badly, that's the best my small brain could produce]
IGN(s): Flexung @Fle SlLHOUETTE @GleamKnight Keyae @spring2941 Xves @Doo CorZairee @IanLee ravencyan @ravencyan Name of your tree: Pet Park Tree Description: Welcome to the Pet Park~ It's not only the first jump quest you'll encounter—but also the beginning of your journey in the Maple world. We cosplay as the NPCs from the map, including Bartos, Doofus, and Trainer Frod. There is a pro player sitting on the bench who has already obtained three pets. Meanwhile, two noobs are still struggling with the Jump quest challenge. We use square and flat materials such as omok table and processed wood to demonstrate the platforms of the jump quest, along with wooden wands to represent the sliding parts. To make it even more authentic, we build up the most iconic section of the jump quest: the ball and hula hoop stage. We hope everyone can complete the jump quest and fulfill their dreams in the Maple world!

IGN(s): Mimmii @Mimmia, ByuIie @CindyTsai Name of your tree: Quest Virtuoso's Journey Tree Spoiler: Description Description: I enjoyed fulfilling requirement from villagers during my journey in Royals... Got my first chair from Pio by collecting screws and wooden boards around Maple Island. It saved me many times from pigs' attack. I can't forget the day and night grinding in Monkey Forest in order to collect 2300 cursed dolls for Rowen the Fairy. Ronnie gave me a secret book after I brought some food for him. Secret book..? Hmmm, interesting. I met Huckle in the orbis tower. He has a fluffy doggie called, Moppie. It seemed satisfied with fishes I hunted for him. Nemi is such a sweet daughter. She asked me to do her a favor by collecting eggs and cheese. She wants to make lunch for her dad. Pink Mesoranger has trouble in waking up on time just like me. I gathered the alarm clocks as much as possible to her... It was so much fun to help others out while exploring the world. I even got a medal, Quest Virtuoso, which makes me stronger. Thank you, Dalair! Christmas is coming soon. Will Santa see the effort I put to Royals and send me a gift? Spoiler: As a quest-holic I joined Royals since 2015 and enjoyed doing quests to build my characters. Back then, many quests are bugged. I obtained my first Quest medal in 2017 (12th player on forum!) https://royals.ms/forum/threads/quest-specialist-hall-of-fame.88286/ Thank you Staffs for fixing bugs and add more quests! Currently, I have 11 Quest Virtuoso + 3 Quest Specialist medals on different characters LF>new medals Last but no least, Shout-out to Mimi decorating this tree with me!

IGN(s): Me (@Succubus), xxstarrynite (@Pastural) Name of your tree: All I Want for Christmas is.. SHOE Description: I swear I don't have a problem. I farmed every single one of them throughout the years—never bought, never sold. Someday, I'll have a full stack of glass shoes. I considered adding more ornaments to the tree, but unless you're squinting, it's already hard enough to see them through the snow, and these ugly lightbulbs aren't doing me any favors. At least Mrs. Claus seems to like my taste. (Btw, if you're using light mode.. Shame on you.)
IGN(s): Xinpin @RayPin , DaFatPon @Fatpon , SincerelyY @violetever , xChae @CindyTsai , MelonCutting @Fish and Chips , Tomatooooooo @GGPeter Name of your tree: re-TREE-bution Description: Once upon a time, in a mushroom world filled with wonder and magic, there lived a young adventurer named DaFatPon. In the Xmas day, he met Claus himself! With a twinkle in his eye, Santa asked, "What would you like for Christmas, my dear child?" With great excitement, DaFatPon unfurled his wish list, his heart racing as he read it aloud: "First, I wish for the legendary MW20+GEN30! Next, I desire a collection of enchanting perf dragon weapons. Oh, and I long for the mighty 7/7/7/7 EP along and a splendid 22/8 khanjar! Plus, I dream of the powerful 10/5 BFC and the magical godly goggles..." Just as he reached item number 25, the air crackled with enchantment. Santa, with a warm smile, interrupted him and said, "My good child, may Jesus bless you! I promise you shall receive everything you wish for." No sooner had the words left his lips than DaFatPon felt a whirlwind of magic swirl around him. In the blink of an eye, he found himself perched atop a magnificent pine tree in the enchanting Christmas Valley. To his astonishment, the tree sparkled and shimmered, adorned with all the treasures from his heart's desire. "Oh my! I’m going to be super rich!" he exclaimed, joy blooming in his chest. But soon he realized that several eerie gazes were fixed directly on him...... 從前，在一個充滿奇蹟與魔法的蘑菇世界裡，住著一個年輕的冒險者，名叫DaFatPon。在聖誕節那天，他遇見了聖誕老人本人！聖誕老人眼中閃爍著光芒，問道：“親愛的孩子，你想要什麼聖誕禮物呢？” DaFatPon激動不已，展開了他的願望清單，心跳加速地大聲念道：“首先，我希望得到傳說中的MW20+GEN30！接著，我渴望擁有一套迷人的幻龍武器。哦，我還希望得到強大的7/7/7/7 EP和一把華麗的22/8 khanjar！此外，我還夢想著強大的10/5 BFC和神奇的神之護目鏡……” 正當他讀到第25項時，空氣中彌漫著魔法的波動。聖誕老人微笑著打斷說：“我的好孩子，願耶穌保佑你！我保證你將得到所有你所希望的。”話音剛落，DaFatPon就感到一陣魔法風暴圍繞著他。 眨眼間，他發現自己坐在了迷人的聖誕谷的壯麗松樹頂上。令他驚訝的是，松樹閃閃發光，裝飾著他心中所有的寶物。“哦，我的天！我要變得超級富有了！”他驚呼道，心中充滿了喜悅。 但很快，他意識到，幾道詭異的目光正緊緊盯著他……

IGN(s): Flexung @Fle AllForGold @GleamKnight darkshades @spring2941 Cocostella @Doo CorZairee @IanLee ravencyan @ravencyan Name of your tree: MapleRoyals Life Tree Description: MapleStory, our shared childhood memory. Twenty years fly through, even though players have stepped into society, juggling work and family responsibilities, we still haven't forgot that simplicity and pure joy. Royals carries this deep emotional connection and has grown into something uniquely with its own features. So we want to transfer and demonstrate that deep feeling of this game, this server. We choose the map with two Christmas trees to represent the daily life in Royals. The left tree reflects the leisurely activities of players—playing omok and memory card battles, gambling with scrolls, farming apples, and being AFK in FM... (yes, I’m talking about those chill level 200 players lol). The tree on the right showcases the hardworking spirit of bossing players, farming-map Archmage, and RG farmers. We arrange all bosses in the order of early or late timing that they appear in game. About the cosplay part, there is a level 200 fishermen AFKing in the Free Market, a gambling god obsessed with getting rich through scrolls, and a relentless farming-map Archmage, also a high-level warriors sweat during bossing, a cute little bee trying to escape from a seemingly fierce beekeeper desperate to catch every last bee. Through this diverse and vibrant tree, we hope to capture the essence of our lives in Royals, and preserve the beautiful part of our childhood.
IGN(s): shadowkai @piapiapia , Yobi @Daisies , IMDGCode @IMDGCode , moonpool @HsLoneT , iamshyN @aiiko , guccici @LickMeMe Name of your tree: The True Spirit of Christmas: Love and Sharing Description: Christmas can mean something completely different to different groups of people. However, regardless of wealth, the desire for love and warmth is universal. This Christmas, the wealthy child longs for end-game pro cape, while the poor child simply hopes to fill their stomach. This reminds us that the true spirit of Christmas should be about care and sharing.
IGN(s): OreRara (@Raimie ) Lychie (@lychie ) Ciowning (@9owo5 ) cubonee (@mudkippp ) Gewn (@bibz ) AngstyBun (@Ecstaticrabbit ) Name of your tree: The Perfect Dragon Tree Description: Royals in 2024 have seen the drop of perfect dragon weapons this year such as Dragon Slash Claw, Dragon Kanzirs and Dragon Green Sleeve. However, the question is in everyone's mind is... Where is the perfect Dragon Purple Sleeve???
IGN(s): TheLordThief @Kyle Tan Name of your tree: Stars Aligned Wishing Tree Description: I've been decorating Christmas Trees in MapleStory with pixie stars since 2008. This wishing tree is to commemorate the friends that I made back then. We had a couple of great years together as time drew us apart. I wonder if my tree-decorating friends remember me like I do. Shout out to winek, cobra1992, Solarrior, dummer0, x3iAmAce, & xp0tatochipz (daniel). I hope they're living their best lives <3. Long Live MapleRoyals uwu
IGN(s): Ranpou (@kawhh ) Ewiiyar (@Ewiyar ) xRyujinx (@Ryujin ) Meatier (@fumikage ) frilly (@itsdxxsy ) mochigal (@maggiegal ) Name of your tree: Crapmas Tree Description: This festive scene, set in a winter wonderland, depicts a humorous and chaotic twist on Christmas cheer. In what seems to be a playful act of rebellion, a group of mischievous bunny has gone rogue, leaving little "gifts" scattered across the landscape, even decorating the holiday trees with its droppings. The once joyful messages of "MERRY CHRISTMAS" on the towering trees have been hilariously transformed into "MERRY POOPMAS," bringing an unexpected charm to the holiday spirit. In the background, a serene full moon casts its glow over the snowy expanse, while the Scarf Snowman NPC, looking like a disapproving yet helpless onlooker, silently judges the chaos. Its blank expression seems to say, "I signed up for Christmas joy, not this hot mess," as it contemplates whether to intervene or just pretend it didn’t see anything. Here's to hoping that 2025 ushers in better digestive health and a more traditional holiday celebration for everyone!
