Name of your tree: Maple Tree of Kinship
Description:
My brother and I started playing MapleStory almost two decades ago — becoming our nostalgic childhood game. But despite our sibling bond, a subtle rivalry developed between us even though we both wanted to be on the same page. We had frivolously fought against each other countless times over mesos sharing, scrolling, equips, etc and even monster cards... hahaha
This tree is therefore a symbolic representation of what we have mutually and competitively aimed for in our old school journey together.

Name of your tree: hot spring tree
Description:
On Christmas Eve, we decided to search for the perfect Christmas tree.
After a cold and arduous journey, we finally found the ideal tree.
As we approached, the air began to warm, and to our surprise, there was a natural hot spring beneath the tree!
We took off our coats and jumped into the hot spring, the steam rising gently while snowflakes drifted down like feathers. We reveled in this gift from nature.
Under the glow of lanterns, we began decorating the Christmas tree.
Moonlight fell on the snowflakes and ornaments, creating a scene that was nothing short of magical.
It was an unforgettable Christmas, though it wasn’t until the very end that we realized Christmas had already quietly passed.

Name of your tree: A Booming Sock Market
Description:
Come December and the mists clear, Happyville comes alive. It’s that time of the year, Mum and Dad are gathering ingredients to make a wonderful Maplemas feast and giving gifts to all those that help. Santa is there in his workshop, Mrs Claus is busy knitting socks and all Santa's helpers are there to spread the joy of the season but there is one other that brings Maplers from all corners of Maple World. Who is it you ask? Warriors, Mages, Thieves, Archers and Pirates all….What brings them to Happyville? 50%.... 80%.... Boom!!! THE SNOWMAN!! What makes the Snowman so popular you wonder? Maplemas is the season of giving, and the snowman is generous, everyone that comes to battle him receives a gift. Wonderful gifts, but there is one gift that is prized over all others…….. The elusive Red Sock!! How many have labored time and again only to get a potion or a Christmas Box chair? Why, you cry? Where is my Red Sock??
Well fellow Maplers, while out exploring like all good Adventurers do, we found a hidden forest and found a trail littered with sticks and carrots, and at the end of the trail a huge clearing opened up and in the middle was an enormous snow covered tree decorated with hundreds of red socks. Is it the work of the Snowman? It is a mystery for sure! Maybe ask the snowman next time you meet?

Name of your tree: Real or Fake Christmas Dinner?
Description:
Every Christmas season, MapleRoyals hires a mysterious magical chef from Shalom Temple to prepare fresh dinners for the Royals players in Royals World. The players help the lovely Mom and Dad in Henesys to prepare a traditional Christmas feast, which includes Crab, Ham, Salmon, and Cake. In 2024, the chef adopted four newborn piglets to assist with kitchen tasks and deliveries. To enhance the pigs' sense of smell and ensure they don't become lazy, the chef intentionally created fake dinner sets. However, the rookie pigs remain confused and have been rushing through deliveries just to finish early and take a nap. As a result, MapleRoyals' GMs have received numerous complaints from Royals players, many of whom claim they always receive the "Air" dinner set during this year’s Christmas season, leaving Mom and Dad without their festive meals. So I guess now we know why the Christmas ingredients are not dropping.... Therefore, in 2025, the chef is considering to change the dinner set ingredients… (pig meat). We shall see….

Name of your tree: The Chair-ity Tree
Description:
Presenting: the five suckers who certainly left their mark of the total 2,279,350,000,000 mesos and 45,587 uses of 2024 Chair Gachapon. Although, we know that Chair Gachapon sometimes leads to disappointment. Despite this, some of us continue to do"chair-ity" charity work, in hopes for our inventory to be filled with the chairs we want. As we reflect on this, all we can hope for next year is less untradeable chairs for 150m.

Name of your tree: The 12 Days of Maplemas
Description:
"On the Twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me~
Twelve bunnies drumming,
Eleven metal pipes,
Ten skillbooks for Time Leaping,
Nine Arwen's glass shoes for dancing,
Eight pets for milking,
Seven caps for swimming,
Six geese eggs,
Five golden rings,
Four calling Pepes,
Three French hens,
Two turtle shells,
and a partridge in an Onyx Apple tree!"

Name of your tree: A Heartfelt Reunion
Description:
malapotato, nootofuu and SchIaf made a promise to always gather under the Christmas tree in Happyville, no matter where life took them. Last year, SchIaf got there early, excited to surprise her friends with her creative decorations. But a fierce snowstorm swept through, trapping her inside a snowman she had built. As the storm continued, the snowman thickened, freezing her inside. She waited for her friends, but they have never arrived due to their busy schedules, leaving her frozen and buried in Happyville...

This year, malapotato and nootofuu returned, determined to keep their promise. While decorating the Christmas tree as they waited for SchIaf, they unknowingly began to melt the snowman in a magical way. With each monster and place they hunted and visited together, the memories of their adventures warmed the snowman and slowly melting the thick layers of snow that had trapped SchIaf. As Schlaf stepped out, the three friends embraced, their bond stronger than ever. The Christmas tree is now glowing with warmth and light, shimmered brighter than ever before, a symbol of their unbreakable friendship brighter than before!

Spoiler: Nana is back this Christmas!

The act of decorating the tree became a reminder that no matter how much time passes, the spirit of Christmas — the spirit of love, reunion, and joy always brings people back together. We missed you, nana! Thanks for coming back this Christmas!

Name of your tree: Have a holly jolly poopy Christmas!
Description:
Once upon a time,
In Happyville, there was a magical Christmas tree that was alive through the magic of winter wonderland.
The villagers adored the magical tree, always spoiling it with delicious meals like fried chicken, sausages, pizza, turkeys and crabs. They believed that having more delicious meals meant that the tree would shine even brighter.
In the beginning, the tree sparkled brightly, happily devouring everything. But by day three, the tree felt that something was wrong. Its lights started to flicker, and the tree made a suggestion to the villagers for some fiber riched foods. The villagers ignored the request, only wanting to pamper the tree with their favourite foods. In went the fried chicken, then roasted meats, followed by hotdog, and then ice cream, plus more candy cane.
Eventually, the tree couldn't stop groaning, its lights continued to flicker. It hurts!" The tree yelped.
Despite this, the villagers continued to feed it candy canes, chocolates, sodas and even gummies. Finally, the tree yelled, “I TOLD YOU I NEEDED MORE FIBER! I'm constipated!”
The villagers was taken aback, seeing for the first time how their magical tree was in pain, and its light getting dimmer. Panicked, they quickly fed it with fiber-rich foods like apples, bananas and nuts. Slowly but surely, the tree began to feel better.
Suddenly, a loud BRRRT rang through the entire village!
It was the Christmas tree.
It released a massive poop!
Plop plop plop
More poop was released!
"Oh my, such a poopy tree." The village elder exclaimed.
"Poopy poopy." The children teased.
The tree blushed and sighed, it then said, “Next time, balance the feast with fiber, okay?"
The villagers cheered, happy to see the magical christmas tree they adored shone as bright as before.
"Ok poopy!" The villages chimed in harmony.
Henceforth, the magical christmas tree gained a name - Poopy.
Now, how will the villagers clear the ridiculous amount of poop?!

Name of your tree: Miracle in EOS Tower
Description:
It’s Christmas Day, someone in a Santa suit has a bag full of surprise gifts for the hardworking crew.
But oh no, Rudolph is napping! The mysterious Santa steps in to deliver the gifts personally.
Inspired by the memorable quest Just Another Day at Work where Manager Karl tasks players with monitoring Roly-Polys through photographs,
We've reimagined it with a Christmas twist.
The tree top features Ludibrium Party Quest NPC, under the tree is Omega Sector and the tree interior represents all 100 floors of the EOS Tower, blending holiday spirit with in-game nostalgia.
It carries the message that not only children but also adults, especially those working in the field to improve our quality of life, deserve the joy and blessings of Christmas.

FYI: EOS Tower is so huge with 100 floors, we split it into two trees, half and half!

https://voca.ro/1eqCxCQmKSMv (I wish it could've went a bit better, but I ended up catching a cold, and it I was having trouble with recordings over a minute long )

Matt and Tim,
Are you listening?
Please ban pogdog
For Christmas.
A beautiful thought
All year long.
Walking in a mushroom wondeland.

Gone away is the pogdog
And here to stay is a new day
We all chant along
Please ban pogdog
Walking in a mushroom wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a prison
A prison made just for pogdog
He'll say don't you ban me!
We'll say no dog
But you can plead all night long.

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid
The bans that we've made
Walking in a mushroom wonderland~

Name of your tree: The Fiery Revenge Tree
Description: Santa’s naughty list has sparked a rebellion!

Name of your tree: Genetically Mutated APR Tree
Description:

“... Q4 2024 revenue dropped 8% YoY, we lost commercial foothold of Free Market 1-1, 1-4 and 1-7 citing multiple unexpected estate resets. Going forward we’re projecting a -5% revenue on Q1 2025 YoY. 2024 net profit rose by 1.5%.” CEO Abel reports.

Silence commands the air, as the soft hum of the air conditioner and the constant successful/failure scrolling noise on the upper floor could be heard faintly.

“Moving on to R&D. Our Botanical Research Division found a way to make APRs grow on trees. Surprisingly effective, remarkably efficient. On appendix 32 we are able to observe the entirety of the tree in its full bloom cycle. We have tested the APRs on Retz and found no observable downsides, then proceeded to run character trials. All tests returned green.” Abel presented with a deadpan look.

Chairman Bauer leaned forward, a mixture of skepticism and fascination paints his expression “HP and MP figures per APR remained the same?”

Abel: “Precisely.”

Bauer: “Thieves still get benefits from fresh AP into HP?”

Abel: “All tests returned the same for every class and scenario.”

Bauer sighed sharply, glaring at an empty corner of the room, head mildly shaking.

“Those damn thieves..” as he tightens his grip on his 123wa Dragon Revolver.

Bauer looks back at Abel “Your notes seem longer than what you need to say.”

“After consulting with our legal division we anticipate strict oversight, or worst case scenario, prohibition.” Abel apprised with pessimism.

Bauer leaned back, exuding subtle confidence “We could bribe them.”

Abel hesitated for a moment, choosing his words carefully “Lobbying is in our consideration but we’re dealing with the most stringent regulators. Their history shows no tolerance for market disruption and their policies have been consistently rigid.”

Bauer lowers his gaze, seemingly to be in deep thought.

“I know just the guy to look for. Maria, get the jet ready by 5pm.” Bauer commands.

Assistant Maria gets on call with the pilot. “Mr. Kerny says the jet will be ready by 4:45pm.”

Abel looking perplexed “... But where are we going, Chairman Bauer?”

Bauer looks at Abel with certainty.

“Shanghai.”
