    Hi all,

    I'm sure many of you have noticed the new categories and prizes for this year's forum event.

    I'd like to address a few questions that some of you may have regarding the changes.

    Why were the prizes changed?


    The previous prize, Maple Leaf's Blessing, has been available from 2023 to 2025. I felt this would be a good opportunity to introduce some new prizes to keep the event fresh and exciting.

    Does this mean Maple Leaf's Blessing will never return?

    No. It may still return in future iterations of this event or other forum events. I simply wanted to introduce some new prizes to help build excitement and give participants something different to look forward to.

    It seems like there were more winners under the previous format?

    At first glance, yes. This is largely because previous events included the following note:

    "The Staff will have the discretion to select multiple winners."

    For example, in 2025, there were 26 entries and 14 winners. Winners were selected based on the higher-scoring submissions across the Solo, Group, and Creative categories.

    For this year's event, I'd still like to keep the total number of winners at around 10 or more. Under the new format, there will be:

    3 Categories × 3 Prize Themes = 9 winners
    1 Lucky Draw winner

    for a minimum of 10 winners.

    If multiple submissions receive the same score (which happens quite often), I also intend to award all tied entries rather than selecting only one winner.

    I understand that not everyone will agree with the new format, and that's perfectly fine. If you have any thoughts on the new categories, prize themes, or prizes, I'd be happy to hear them. Your feedback will help shape future forum events.

    Concept/Summary:
    Proudly sharing my first-ever jump quest completion! This is a cropped screenshot of my time for the 13th Anniversary jump quest. I completed it on my crossbowman, Freyariddhi, on July 2nd at 8:40pm est. I'll be honest, I had to look up a guide because I got completely lost and had no idea where I was supposed to go. But I stuck with it, kept trying, and eventually made it to the finish. I know this isn't an impressive time. It might even be one of the slowest times submitted. But I'm genuinely proud of it.
    I haven't been playing MapleRoyals for very long, and I never really played the original MapleStory. I only tried the modern version for about a week before deciding it wasn't for me, it felt overly complicated, and the rapid leveling wasn't something I enjoyed. This was my very first jump quest ever, and I completed it all in one night. My friend was on a prayer call while I was working through it, and I actually finished before he was done. Sure, he (and plenty of other players) can clear it in under five minutes and farm coins with ease, but that's not what matters to me. What matters is that I did it. I finished something I honestly didn't think I was capable of completing, and that's why this achievement means so much to me. Whether or not I win this contest, I'm happy to have had the chance to share this moment. =^.^=

    P.S.
    I hope I'm posting this in the right place. The rules said to post in this thread, so I believe I did it correctly. If I got anything wrong, please let me know!
