It’s a great old game played in a brand new way! It’s Bingo! But this
isn’t the quiet game played by boring old folks whiling away the hours –
this is Bingo with monsters and treasure. It’s Bingo Bingo, a
MapleStory event!
Playing is simplicity itself. Every day you log in and play between
February 22 and March 27th, 2010, you’ll be able to get a stamp by
dropping off 20 "Bingo necklaces” (which drop off any monster in the
world) with Cassandra.
This stamp is then placed on your "Bingo card.”
Simply get any line of five across, down or diagonally and you’ll win a
mysterious box containing an awesome surprise. You’ll get a prize for
every Bingo you make, so log in every day of the event to maximize your
winning!
Even better, make all 12 bingos and you’ll earn two extra boxes to open!
Get ready to dig deeper because Maple World has more treasures to be
found. If you missed out on your chance to get a permanent Archeologist
Hat or permanent Archeologist Glasses during the last Ancient Artifact
Hunt, this is your chance to try again!
Artifact Hunt II is simple--just pick up Mysterious Artifacts from
monsters and gather 5,000 excavation points. When you do, you’ll receive
the regular Archeologist Hat and Archeologist Glasses.
If you’re one of
the top 10 archeologists by 5 PM Sunday Pacific time during the
duration of the event, then your hat or glasses become permanent hat!
(You have one full week to redeem your reward.)
It wouldn’t be much of sequel if it didn’t get bigger and better and
every way and Ancient Artifact Hunt II does not disappoint!
- Higher stats for the regular Archeologist Hat and Archeologist
Glasses!
- Discover eight different Mystical Artifacts for an Artifact Top
10 Medal as well as Mystical Artifact Discoverer Medal!
- A Balrog Mount or Broomstick Mount reward for reaching 30,000
excavation points!
Even better, you still receive double excavation points for playing on
Saturday and Sunday, but this time you get to choose an extra day for
double points!
Talk to Gaga, get an Excavation Permit and head for the hinterland!

Scadur, the mighty hunter of El Nath has declared hunting season open!
Simply approach the master of the hunt and complete his quests. When you
do, you’ll be blessed with six Hunter’s Lucks--a treasure that’ll help
you become a mighty hunter in your own right by giving you 2x EXP for 30
minutes.
Hunter’s Luck isn’t just any old treasure, though--they’re even
stackable with Cash Shop-bought 2x EXP cards!
Six Hunter’s Lucks can be earned every week, but be sure to use them
before midnight Pacific time every Monday. When the week passes, all
unused Hunter’s Lucks will expire and you’ll have to move on to the next

lasts!
In addition to containing Valentine’s Day, did you also know that

More Erasers for the Time Traveler’s Free Pass!
What’s this? Gachapon must really love you because it’s giving out more
erasers! You can trade these in to Andy in Neo City for a Time
Traveler’s Free Pass! The Free Pass will allow you to use the Time Gate
to hit Neo City high-level maps that usually require you to engage in a
quest to explore!
Naturally, more erasers also mean better chance for all of you on the
Hexagonal Crystal Necklace quest that earns you a Seal Cushion!
The arrival of Aran the hero and Aran the class was a breath of fresh
air in Maple World. Aran charged in with his awesome combo moves and a
mighty polearm to take our breath away. You know what else grabbed our
attention? His hair.
Aran’s white faux-hawk was by far the coolest hairdo in recent Maple
World history. Now his hair can be yours when you purchase a Henesys
Hair Style Coupon (VIP) or a Kerning City Hair Style Coupon (VIP)!
Of course we’d never want our Aran ladies to be left out. Her
luxuriously long ponytail is available also!
Have you heard the rumors? There are incredible things happening in
Maple World. Some are happy and exciting--like opening of the new
Kerning Square Mall in Kerning City. Are you ready to shop in style and
help a young entertainer’s dream come true all while enjoying new
dungeons and PQs? Then there are darker tales unfolding. There are
stories of a mad traveler in the wilds near Magatia bearing tidings of a
terrible future…
Check out the details below:
Maple Idol at the Kerning Square Mall!
Dreams really can come true in MapleStory. Take Blake, a humble public
service worker at the new Kerning Square Mall in Kerning City. He may
not be much now, but he has the talent to become a superstar!
Unfortunately there are evil Rock Spirits who are trying to steal
Blake’s debut song and keep him from his destiny.
Blake needs heroes to
help prepare the way, battle these evil spirits in a brand new dungeon
and make sure the stage is secure for Blake’s big debut. Do you have
what it takes to create the next big MapleStory superstar? Fight for the Future in Neo City!
Andy is a madman who has recently been spotted in the wilds near
Magatia. They say he tells a horrible story of machine feet trampling
over the human race in the future and claims to be looking for brave
adventurers to fight for the future of Maple World. Can we afford to
believe this madman? Can we afford not to?
If you’d like to check out the truth of Andy’s story, Broker Han in
Magatia has the scoop on a time traveler who has come back from the
future to recruit Maple World’s mightiest heroes. It seems that in Neo
City in the year 2503, the human race barely survives by scurrying under
the metal feet of killer robots. That dark future doesn’t have to pass
though. You can fight for the future in a huge new dungeon and make it a
better one for all humanity!
Did you know that according to the lunar calendar this is the year of
the tiger? In the Chinese Zodiac, the Tiger is the sign of courage? And
really, who’s more courageous than the intrepid explorers of Maple
World? What better travelling companion then for a brave Mapler than
this adorable new Baby Tiger!
You can adopt a Baby Tiger today for just 5,800 NX. Better yet, for only
16,900 NX you can get the Baby Tiger Package! That gets you a Baby
Tiger, Baby Tiger Wings and 11 Golden Drumsticks. That’s a 10% savings
off the individual retail price!
This great deal is available for one week only--from February 19 to 24,
so hurry to save now!
It’s time again for a version up and this time it’s all about
convenience! Check out the changes that should help you travel quicker,
manage better and clean up your gameplay.
Improved Quick Slot
The Quick Slot is the box found on the bottom right corner of your
screen. It contains six convenient hotkeys that allow you to use a
skill, item, or function just by hitting the key. We’ve made this
function even more powerful by now allowing you to determine which keys
should be in the Quick Slot.
This will not only cut down on the number of times you have to open your
keyboard settings to reset your hotkeys for different activities, but
should be a blessing for lefties and those who use non-traditional
keyboard settings!

Dimensional Mirror
MapleStory is full of fun places to explore, but sometimes getting there
was less fun than being there. Now getting there is easier with the new
Dimensional Mirror!
The Dimensional Mirrors will allow you to quickly travel to: Ariant
Battle Arena, Mu Lung Dojo, Monster Carnival 1, Monster Carnival 2,
Nett’s Pyramid, and Abandoned Subway.
Say goodbye to Cesar and the Mu Lung Dojo Bulletin Board! Now you just
need to click on Dimensional Mirror located in every major town.
Keep in mind that the Dimensional Mirror isn’t a shortcut to high-level
areas. If you don’t meet the level requirement, it won’t allow you to
travel there. Improved Inventory UI
If you’ve been playing MapleStory for awhile, you know that you can
collect a lot of stuff. It’s little wonder then that your newest
acquisitions can sometimes get lost in your inventory. With our new and
improved inventory graphics, though, you’ll never lose track of your new
items again. When you acquire a new item, the inventory tab it’s been
put in will blink and the new item will have a flashing border around
it.
Episode One: Now Open to Everyone!
Explorer players had a great reaction to the release of Episode One. It
made the first job advancement even more fun for Explorers. In fact, the
reaction was so strong, we’ve decided to open the fun up to everybody.
Now every class can participate in the events of Episode One on the
occasion of their first job advancement.
Some changes you’ll notice if you’re an Explorer who’s tried Episode
One:
- The level limit for the quests that the Job Advancement Officers
give to start Episode One is now 40 and not 30.
- New Astaroth’s Polearm available.
- Bug fix! The Warrior quest "Drought in Perion-Inspecting the Water
Pipe,” now has a Fire Hydrant regenerating in the Construction Site
north of Kerning City.
- Bug fix! Pirates, if you no longer need the Dirty Treasure Map item
in order to play Episode One, find the NPC Jack at Top Floor – Hallway.
He will throw away the item for you.
