Maple Story PianusClick here to play this gameI found this interesting and entertaining flash game on y8.com.  You, a blind character who looks pretty stupid, must kill the gigantic pianus, with the help of some skills…

 Defualt skill buttons

A – Hyper Body.
S – Meso.
D – Shadow Partner.
F – Claw Booster.
F – Haste.
Z – Throw Star.
X – Heal.
C – Meso Explosion.
G – Summon Ifrit.
Insert / Delete Key – Potions.
Spacebar – Jump.

PS this game might take a while to load; its size is 4.25MB.  Oh yes, the Pianus in this game ain’t no pushover…

Tip:Use hyper body before doing anything else, or you are in danger of being ‘1 hit KOed’  

I saw this interesting poll on the MSEA Forum:Do you want a new element?

Actually, I remember that about a year ago, I suddenly thought, “Hey!  Why should the mages be limited to only 3 elements-Fire/poison, Ice/Lightning and holy?  Why not have other elements like darkness, water etc?”  But being VERY forgetful, I soon forgot about that thought. 

My initial thoughts upon seeing the poll were, “Good idea!  The gms should have more job adv at once!”  But,after giving it some thoughts i decided against it.  Fuse had metioned a very important point, which I totally agree with…

If they introduce new elements, the whole monster database has to be changed most likely.

This means A LOT of work for the poor gms, and maybe many hours of server mantainence.(A taboo word for many maplers.) and patches, among other disadvantages…

 So, although having new elements for mages can be fun, but it isn’t pratical and I personally disapprove of it.

Ever since v.46 came out, there have been some changes…(BTW I’m NOT talking about Leafre…)

Notice what’s in the red box?  It’s Nexon, not Asiasoft!  When you enter maplestory, you will see this too…

This pretty much proves that Nexon was involoved in Maplesea too!  As said in hidden-street quite some time ago…

14th May 2007 – Banning of foreign IPs

We have recently met a few Asiasoft staffs to clarify the issue of the banning of foreign IPs, after we have received quite a few e-mails and messages complaining about this matter. The staffs told us that the directive to ban foreign IPs (namely those from the USA, etc) came directly from Nexon, who is the current developer of MapleStory. Asiasoft is merely a distributor of the local game in the South-East Asia region and takes no part in handling the game’s actual patching.

So what is the point of this?  The people who have been ranting at Asiasoft and Wizet in the forum about the patches, mantainences etc. have directed their complain to the wrong people!  What an embarrasing mistake! x)

Just want to talk a bit about Leafre town and the Leafre-Grendel Quest…

Requirements:NIL

So, just head over to Ellinia, and find grendel the veri OLD, who is still floating around in his magic library.  The old man will tell you that he wants you to deliver a pure water of protection to Leafre, because he’s too lazy to do it

 He’ll also give you a FREE  ticket to ossyria and leafre(I didn’t know that mr.old was so kind!) and an instruction book on how to get to Leafre…

So, go on!  After you have taken the ship to Orbis(hope the rog won’t get you!) take ANOTHER ship to Leafre.  Here’s how the ship looks like…

maple0009.jpgmaple0010.jpgmaple0019.jpg

Cute,right?

Anyway, after arriving at the CUTE town of Leafre, find Chief Tamano at the western side of it and talk to him…

maple0013.jpg

After that, you are finished!(and stuck in Orbis) your reward:a pathetic 1000 exp and 2 magic seeds for you to teleport between Ellinia and Leafre.(I reccomend that you don’t do this as there dosen’t seem to be a way to telport back…)

A word of warning though:Don’t fool around with the monsters!  On the first map, one of the monsters hit me, a lvl 51 cleric, 600+ with its magic attack!  So be careful, and don’t fool around with the monsters unless you know what you are doing!

Just a little update:  Leafre Town (and another new path =(  )is TODAY!  w00ts!!  Read this post in the forum to find out more…

 

I’ve realised that a wave of disease has hit the maplers of SEA.  Known as MUMP (Maplestory Upsets Mystefied People), the only symptom is this:quitting after 20+ levels, to play other ‘cooler’ games and ‘no drive’ to play maple. To all MUMP sufferers, here’s a list of things you can do to counterattack the disease…

  • Create a guild!  This disallows you from deleting your character, and also, you will be more commited to mapleo for the sake of your guildmates.  For more details, visit www dot hidden-street dot net.
  • Have a friendly competition with your friend/ buddy.  For example,”If I lvl to lvl 2 before you, give me that lvl 1 sword!!” 

Well, I can’t think of much, so I’ll leave this list for completion by YOU.  Comment if you have thought of anything! =)

…and some other Singapore related stuffs.

I ended my previous post with a cry for help, screaming,”HOW TO GET SINGAPORE FLAG!?”  But fortunately, I have found the way to do so…

untitled

The quest for the flag starts from talking to the maple admin in the towns.  After that, you will have to find Mr. Gwin and give him some medicine.  Gwin can be found in the ‘blue parts’ of the dungeon, after tunnel of light 2( I tink!)

Anyway, my research of the Singapore town has just ended, in which I was chased by dozens of bloodthirsty ghosts, had several near-death experiences and gawked at the dozens of merlion statues in the towns,among other experiences.  Therefore, I present to you…. THE SINGAPORE TOWN REVIEW!!!

REVIEW

Stuff you must know:  The SG map is made out of 2 towns, CBD(Central Business District) and  Boat Quay Town. The former is more ‘Singapore-like’ with stop sign and speed limit monsters.  However, the latter is more for the higher levled mapler, with GHOSTS in many maps.

Get to Singapore by going to Kerning City, and talking to the gal at the extreme left (Irene).  After buying the 20 000 mesos ticket, you will be in the Kerning Airport ,aka the waiting room…

Maple0001 Maple0002 

After a pretty long wait, you will be transported to the airplane.  This is the same as the rides to Ludibrum and Ossyria, just that this is MUCH faster and if you drop something, it will be stuck to the roof of the airplane, never to be seen again…

Maple0004

After the ride, you will arrive at CHANGI AIRPORT(sounds familiar?) and after leaving the airport and stepping into CBD, your adventure in Singapore BEGINS… 

Maple0005 Maple0038

Visual and Music:5/5. The statue of Sir Stanford Raffles(In CBD; Raffles is the founder of modern Singapore) is hilarious!  Also, you can find the ‘durians’ the Esplanade(theatre) in the CBD too.  Also, have a look at the merlion in Boat Quay Town…

Maple0007 Maple0012(Esplanade in background)

Maple0023

Monsters: 4/5.  I have something against the GODLY spawn rate in boat Quay town.  in CBD this is still ok, as the monsters are generally low-levled.  However, when it comes to probably level 50+ ghosts and monsters beyond Boat Quay Town, I’m not so keen…

Maple0027

There is also a ghost ship if you manage to reach Mysterious Path 3(It seems like everyone has died at least once in their exploration!)

Maple0032 Maple0033

PS I heard from a *ahem* trustworthy*ahem* source that there is a level 100 boos monster deep in the ship, called captain ________.

OTHER RANDOM PICTURES OF THE SG MONSTERS

Maple0028 Maple0030 Maple0029 Maple0025

Quests: 3/5.  Quests are pretty simple, no chain quests or boss monster quest,excluding the maple flag quest(Its a maple event quest to commemorate the National Days of Singapore and Malaysia, so I’m not including it).Quests include: Technical Assignment, Clear The Rubbish, Wedding Photos 1 etc.

And so, I end my review of SG.  In my opinion, SG is worth visiting (although a little ex!) It will certainly put a smile on your face as you admire the common stuff in this little red dot!

*malay for Singapore

 

Today, the Singapore map was just released here in SEA… (my prediction of it coming out on August 9, National Day was wrong =(  )

I’m not ready for a review yet, but it will be coming out in the near future.(maybe tomorrow  or the day after tomorrow?)  But anyway,  I managed to log in for a short while and here are some pictures I took…  N-joy!

So, you saw the hilarious Local Product Merchant picture?  (2nd row, 2nd from left)  For the benefit of our non-Singaporean readers, all the food you see  in that picture are delicious food you can easily find in this ‘little red dot’.  For those who are still in the dark about how to get to this KEWL place, here are the instructions…

Note:This picture shows one of the perks of the new version.  We get this guild ‘forum’, where you can post ‘threads’ and others can reply.

 

PS DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET A SINGAPORE FLAG!?

I’m back again.  This time I’m here to talk about the Singapore localisation map,which is highly expected by us to come out any time now…

 The forum(and also the whole of the maplesea community) is brainstorming on what will be there, where it will FINALLY come out, etc.   Its going to be big, evident by the SG Localized Boss mob Fan-Art Contest(wondering if it would be an uber merlion! X) )

I had a look at the ‘brainstorming thread’ and according to the wonderful moderator BlinkJet, who said on page 5 that…

 Heard from the admins that there will be a ghost ship. Stay tuned for more updates

Lol.  I wonder what will be on the ghost ship.  Maybe some pirates from our neighbour Malaysia and your quest is to stop their plan?  Or maybe Sir Standford Raffles, the founder(was it ever lost?) of modern Singapore?  who knows?

Anyway, there are some really wacky(and good)ideas in the brainstorming thread.  Visit it if you have time.  For the record, I like the idea of the customs in Changi Airport..  If its real, I’ll certainly stock my inventory with level 1 swords before going in!

-Do not use ”Weapons” while going to Singapore map via Terminal 1/2 customs or will bebrought to the ”Office” for investigation.-Changi Airport. [ Place where you'll land after taking a plane to Singapore]

PS Look out for a review of the map when it comes out!
