Thanks for the info Sir Dan!!!!

Do post the related info here Daniel~!

Thanks and much appreciated! =)

Hopefully it'll release the new Maple Weapons. I want my shield.

When?

Ooopsie my bad, I was trying to put on the contact lenses while reading that.

@ KAt ~ LMAO!

YAY, NO MORE STUPID EGGS KICKING MY NOOB CLERICS BUTT ANYMORE!!!!!

hehe.... 11 hours what is this one about huh O_o... oh well..!

It is so tempting for me to play maple again if this patch involves maple anniversary. Maple aniversary was the only reason why i played in the first place ^.^

Hunting maple items ftw
actual picture of me from ranks during maple aniversary of last year

This patch DOES...or at least SHOULD...include the Maple Items.

EDIT: The Patch has been rescheduled to next week.

According to MapleTip, they will be putting in a censored version of Showa, into gMS, unlike cMS.

'Apparently, guns and swords are too violent... in America.'(http://forums.mapletip.com/index.php?showtopic=121255)

x x x

Rescheduled... Thats news? Does this mean they suck bad or there good enouth to not give us something sucky and buggy and fix it a week later?

*teary-eyed* Nexon.....why? ;_;

Although I did kinda' have a feeling from it. From the time I heard there was going to be a patch, I knew there would be something fishy happening. >_> I even had them pegged for extended time which I did find out later was going to happen. But it sucks that all of a sudden they decided to cancel. I can only hope it was because they actually wanna' do something right the first time without having to go back to fix it a week later like Spike said T_T

LOL
let's just get this over with now, too...

The Patch will be scheduled to end around 11am PST
BUT WILL BE EXTEDED TO ABOUT 4PM PST ...F5 (of course we all know THAT, right?)
Also, dont be surprised when they do multiple Emergency Checks in the 48+ hours AFTER the Patch is released ...F3

(at least I'LL be at work like usual) haha

LMAO ~ Guns and swords too violent in America....the same country where the people that complain the most about violence and censorship were raised during the Vietnam and Korean Wars, watched Looney Tunes and other cartoons (no violence there...), and various TV shows about Westerns (no guns in the Ol' West...), Detectives/Police shows (CHiPs, Charley's Angels, Magnum PI, etc; no guns on those shows...) and oh yeah, I am sure most of the little boys had a gun of some sort and played Cowboys and Indians (definately no violence in that game...).

And as for MS 'censoring' Showa....what about Omega Sector and the Pirates...Pirate PQ ~ Pirates everywhere slashing with thier Swords. What about the in game equips and many of the weapons in the Cash Shop?

Hey Dan, you better watch out..they might take your sharp Pole Arm away.

I was really excited that I was going to have some fun tonight with this patch during class but NO, Nexon had to kill it. T_T

LMAO~ Becky, i also suggest you change your avatar... too violent.
