A small patch has been released to the official servers, containing only a couple of things and the Illium pre-creation event (plus a couple of Cash Shop sales). Illium will be released next week, on August 10!

The maximum number of character slots has been increased from 41 to 42.

Illium’s Magic Gauntlet weapons have been added early (you can start preparing now!)

Also, the third and final chapter of the Grandis – The Ancient War – webtoon has been released! A cool group of people at this blog are translating it so check it out there!

Heroes Wonder Package!

The Heroes Wonder Package event has returned and will run from August 1 to August 8.

This event is to celebrate the release of these new Maple Hero figures! They look pretty cool!

Basically, it’s a way for users to get the figures early. There will be 100 Wonder Sets available for each hero in all worlds, sold on a first-come first-serve basis for 75,000 NX each.

They all come with a permanent outfit for that hero, a matching Petite pet, a 30 Day Teleport World Map, 10 Wheels of Destiny, 300 Power Elixirs, and 10 Buff Freezers. They also have two bonus items: a Figure Voucher (which can be used to input shipping information for a Figure of that hero) and a 30k Maple Points Voucher.

So yeah, if you’re lucky enough to be one of the first 100 people to buy these packages, your figure will be shipped on August 2!
