Finally the MapleStory team has released a teaser for this winter’s update! They said it will contain many things like reopening (and perhaps updating) older jobs, a new PvP, and even a new area for level 200+! The first patch will be released on December 18.

I think this image might be related to the new PvP…

Hello Maple warriors. It’s the mind-reading robot. On December 18, the winter update, which many people have been waiting for, will begin! This winter update will feature the reopening of previously closed jobs, exciting player versus player content, a new area for users who are level 200+, and many events which people have requested. These events are bigger and better than ever! The first part of this update will be released on December 18. This cold winter, we are going to have a hot update and we hope to continue it for the coming season, so all of you can have a lot of fun! Thank you.

Here’s the fully translated letter from the Developers’ Notes from the homepage.

Near the top of this image of the character selection screen, it says Chance of 1+2 Storm Growth! Please press the Burning Button!

Hmm… if you guys remember during the Legend update so many years ago, the event with the EXP bottles was called 1+1, does this mean you’ll have a chance to get 2 EXP bottles from one character?

They also posted a picture of this update’s Attendance Board, nothing really exciting…

Finally, there was this image of the Maple Contents Stamp Book! This will be an additional way to collect Winter Coins, as once you get all the stamps, you can get the prize at the bottom.

From top to bottom, left to right, it looks like this will include:

Black Heaven

Gold Beach (?)

Various bosses (?)
