A Thread of Mostly Random Maplestory Stuff

Found something interesting , in Kerning, there are multiple of these spray paintings and saw a hidden message that I think reads "NLC Typhoon"
Makes me really think when they were working on Kerning City they were already thinking of adding NLC into the game

 

Not to be a downer but I think it reads "M.C" and refers to this.

 

When this NPC wipes her glasses

 

I want to talk about letter mobs because they are cute and funny

They first appear in a old pq named English School in tms cms and mapleSEA

As the pq names English School

They want you to learn english when mapling so why not
< This npc will ask you some question and you need to find letter for the answer

It's a pretty fun event but too bad idk English when i was young so didn't participate this event that much

Reward are funny too you can even get like crimson barlog sack if you can answer hard question

But sack only let you use in the event map if you exit those sack will gone(and of course ppl find way to steal them out loll

video like this:


Also you were able to collect letter mob's cards

I believe pbpq event also drops cards

 

aw how cute!! i've never seen the S mob in the anniversary event O_O i was wondering what it looked like!!

 

yes and didn't appear in pbpq idk why
probably F is flying mob that might accoss map but why no S

 

I'm not sure if these have been posted before. Just some random tidbits that are probably around the deepest parts of the MapleStory lore iceberg.

Some of you may know that the mobs around Crimsonwood and the Phantom Forest were a bit bugged on release, what with Leprechaun's attacks not triggering due to the mobs not having any MP, or the fact that there exist unused right-facing variants of Phantom Trees and Crimson Trees in the files.

But there's more! With the release of v0.59 and Crimsonwood, Nexon forgot to mark Bigfoot as a boss mob (clumsy!), which meant that Hermit's Shadow Web could be used to dealt 1,066,666 damage per tick. Since Nexon America presumably did not want to or couldn't distribute new files to solve this right away, they hot"fixed" it server-side and made Bigfoot only give out 20k EXP.


Windraiders were not as OP on launch as they would later become and be known for. Observe that they only gave out 400 EXP on release, just half of what they would later give.


Lastly, as you all know, Encounter with the Buddha is quite an op map being all flat and densely populated with Dreamy Ghosts. On release, the map actually only contained Water Goblins, with Dreamy Ghosts being added to the files later. At some point though, it seems that Nexon Japan regretted turning the map into all-Dreamy Ghosts, and added Water Goblins back into the mix again. Furthermore, they made Dreamy Ghosts cast the Seal debuff on players, presumably to further "nerf" the map. This seems to have happened around April of 2008 in JMS.

 

Would be nice if someday this pq be added. More cards to collect!!

 

There's a rather interesting sign on Krexel's building (remember this is part of Singapore).

Unless the artist messed up, which is unlikely given the amount of detail Singapore has, this suggests Ulu City dates back to at most 1992.

 

You can actually sit on the Neo Tokyo Park benches with the SIT key (but probably not for long...)

 

Today I want to talk about some sacks becasue I like to collect sacks

Spoiler: the funny bag

In MapleRoyal there's normal monster sacks with number from lmpq、cwkpq and gm event.
Boss sacks like Brand New Monster Galore from NLC gacha and Black Sack from Sleepywood gacha or gpq
You can also get some sacks from different events like Helloween monster sack or Anniversary Superslime sack.
There's some quests in ludi give sacks with some ludi mobs like robot、trojan、alien and different sack.
But sadly those are not repeatable quests.

If you try to owl for sacks you can see a lot of untrade、unobtainable sacks you never see it before.
Which are using by gm for respawn boss or during monster invasion event I think.

Although I really want to see what's inside every sacks.
but sadly sack's description didn't write like this:

Yes some monster sacks are not 100% to spawn every mob.

Also remember every version of maple can change the mobs inside sacks too.
So same sack will probably spawn different mob in different verison.
And some sacks only appear in specific version of maple.
Here are some sacks that I think are cool

And there's even a sack in jms which can spawn a gachapon machine mob



and some videos

 

Does anyone else remember these animations? I remember watching the one where the mage in Ellinia jumps from really high up on the GMS website back then.. so glad to have found this video (did someone post this before?)

There's also one that came with the introduction of the pirate job, as well as a three part series about the Golem Temple. Here's a compilation of them all, upscaled to 4K and 60 FPS using AI.

 

Thank you for pointing this out Joel this is awesome!
