OOOOoooo... does that mean Cygnus Knights can zak now? and woot for neo tokyo, i might get on and explore a bit after the patch

Cygnus knights can already zak. Its just there level they makes them suck. (There damage gets lowered due to level difference). So even though a 120 DW can match a lvl 140 Hero. They Zak runners would choose the Hero due to it not suffering the lowered damage.


Also Angie look at the new pet were getting

Well... we're not getting Neo Tokyo, we're getting Neo City, a heavily nerfed version of Neo Tokyo.

Yeah i noticed the pet Im tempted to get it, it can be juppys and tarios baby. i still have like 7 nx left over from what i didnt spend on mabi. i dunno if it will be worth it though because i dont really ever play anymore. eh, i guess theres nothing else i can do with the nx anyway.
the new hair is eh. not really my taste but ok

FREAKING NERFS

O_O wow something to do now
-patches MS to unbore himself-

I WANT A TIGER! D:
-kicks NX building-
LEMME CHARGE NX PLOX T-T

Maplestory will now be launched from the website?

I actually feel like coming back, even for a while... like a weeked or something

Agreed wit Kish, but not today, Im having a reunion wit my friends :3

Oh yeah, what does it mean that it will be launched from the website... that you can only go to the site to play it now? like how runescape is i think

No. What it is I think that you click Maplestory.exe from where ever you have it which will open up the maplestory website for you to log in, then you can proceed to press start on that box that always open then play. Or something like that. Mabinogi is going through the same thing.

No more arduous downloads?
-sparkley eyes-

OH SO NO DOWNLOADS? -explodes-

I think one of the nexon employees has spilled coffee over the new patches for Mabinogi and Maplestory cause this is like the first time in history (well when I started playing 2 years ago) that they've post poned the updates TWICE!!!

EDIT: Decaf coffee*
