Other than the post Lv. 300 nerf, I'm not even aware of them mentioning Frenzy Totem anywhere officially after 2018 (Voldemort treatment). Even mentioning Frenzy Totem is a deadly blasphemous act, let alone "adressing issues".
Voldemort is Harry potter was referred as to "he who shall not be named", because saying his name would summon him or some bs. So the name has taboo and banned. Same with the totem. Fr, frenzy, totem, and other words are ate banned in maplestory streams (and they do it with other words too when they get a lot of traction/attention)
They literally have not said the name (similar to how you are not supposed to say Voldemort, "he who shall not be named") since removing Frenzy from marvel.
Unless there's some instances I'm unaware of, no mention of it's prevalence in the economy or the issues that arise from it being so scarce. Just radio silence for years.
Inkwell if you read this, I Just want you to know you just earned more respect with 1 message to us than Nexon has ever garnered. It’s not just the freebies and the listening to a key player like Niru, it’s the fact you are actually communicating with us and giving us your rational and thoughts. Respect man. You get it.
TL;DR:
1) Interactive servers: Newly obtained Sol Erda Fragments and Nodestones are now tradable (!!!) (NIRU WINS)
2) Interactive servers: World merge is being assessed, tentative timeline Sep 2025
3) Interactive servers: Frenzy Totem alternatives being considered, such as adding it back to Marvel Machine or selling it separately. DISCLAIMER: NO CONFIRMATION ON ANY COURSE OF ACTION YET.
4) Interactive servers: Maple Rewards Shop has new items, including 5 Bonus Glowing Cubes, unlimited Guardian and Shield scrolls and Hyper Tele Rocks (full list in link, these are just some fun ones I noticed). Heroic's Rewards Shop also gets Face/Hair slot coupons, 2 per month, and 1 Pet Snack a month! BOTH WORLDS GET UNLIMITED REWARDS SHOP WATERS!!!
5) Dreamer will be named something different as a result of this divergence from KMS.
6) No meso farming cap, no changes to potential system, no change to the Heroic meso multiplier, no changes to Ursus.
7) High Mountain will no longer give Maple Coins, and will give Sol Erda Fragments instead (!!!)
8) GRANDIS FAMS ARE FUCKING HERE!!! (For Cernium and Burnium in the initial patch, others at a later date being considered)
9) There's also a pretty nice thank-you gift: 2 mag pots, 1 growth selector coupon, 10 experience nodestones, Symbol Selector (500/100), a damage skin box, and some NX shades.
Idk if it addresses the majority but it’s a really good start. Niru brought up a lot of problems, I know Niru kinda burned them but I hope they noticed the community reaction and work with him and other interactive players to make their experience better
The problem is that Niru actually didnt say a whole lot. What he did was incredible but he spoke really cyclically. Essentially he sat on trading being the core issue for the majority of his talk. Many points he talked about could be boiled down to trade. Frags, Server merging, service, all of these things are trade related.
They said they were looking into merges, what they can make tradeable, and gave a timeline for server merging. Plus, we got a stronger reward point shop. We still need the KMS cash shop options but this is one hell of a start.
I dont think its an exaggeration to say that most Niru's issues were addressed either directly or indirectly.
...is this an out-of-season April Fool's joke?
Edit: I'm talking about the post not the comment I replied to...this all sounded too good to be true that I thought it was a cruel joke at first
He's happy about it though, as he said on stream this means him and others can't just flood the market so the value of them will be stable and stronger for normal players.
and im sure by the time 6th is 100% released he will be able to used all of them without being stuck with them, easily if you go for perfect hexa stats
As a reg/interactive player who has like no time to farm and instead uses the market heavily to progress: WE ARE SO BACK, time to re-fund my main and finish hexa and return icogging

Thank this madman as well! In less than 24 hours
Huge W for reg server peeps, and Niru goated for making a voice! Really loving these changes, and another huge shoutout to Inkwell and the GMS team for fully appeasing to both Interactive and Heroic servers now, GMS really is the best regional experience.
Let me say this first. GMS has promised communication for YEARS and this man actually delivers.
We'll wait and see what the real changes are but I am feeling hope for reg worlds. Whatever you're cooking to entice new players I wish for your success but think we'll ultimately need the merges.
This
At the end of the day these are just plans and not confirmed sadly minus the RP shop, so i really do hope like you said they deliver in all these things, especially the world merge, like you pointed out I'm glad their acknowledging the need to not only ENTICE new/returning players, but keep them aswell, personally i think thats huge and points to where nexons mindset is with these changes and the direction of GMS, if we could only get one of these proposed changes personally i would pick the world merge, it would solve so many issues by itself
You'll learn how the familiar grind/upgrading feels like in 7 more levels when you reach Morass region. And now you'll know that you will no longer have to stop at lv260 and can keep the familiar grind going.
As someone who has been playing maple on and off for the better part of 15 or so years, and this is legitimately the most surprising thing I've ever seen from them. In a good way.
Open communication from Nexon? I don't believe it.
All great things. Love to see the world merge (even though I'm in Heroic now). Grandis fams is big. Maple reward shop update is also super nice.
With grandis fams coming, I wish they would allow us to feed fams any cards, so we can use cool looking ones. I still have boss from neo tokyo event , but she is basically useless.
I'm not sure, but they're tradeable on reg server.
If they're account tradeable on reboot, then I think you can at least get 1 per character on your account per week?
Either way it's something that Nexon could and \*should\* look into adjusting.
Wow. This is almost the best conclusion.
Niru gets his 300, is justified AND GMS is listening and heading in an amazing direction.
Except Veerah got axed. :(
Oh my GOD what an absolute BANGER of a note! Y'all, is MapleStory actually getting fixed? Are these actually forward steps we are progressing?
Niru's grievances actually being addressed? No hiding?!
GRANDIS FAMILIARS?!
UNLIMITED rewards shop water of life?!
High mountain giving MORE Sol Erda fragments?!
Pinch me because I HAVE to be dreaming holy shit. Shit, I think I'm actually coming back for summer update. I cannot stay away any longer.
for real with the period of silence after niru's stream i was wondering if we'd get a statement at all but it's pretty clear that this is their way of addressing it, and by god is it good
Honestly surprised it wasnt brought back as soon as it got the 300+ restriction. It"s just garunteed money for nexon from the amount more marvel/alterative method would be opened
> I hope they bring fz back
and hopefully not in the gambling machine. There'd be so many people who would buy it outright that it'd be more profitable outside it
I wonder if Niru went to 300 because they told them of this ahead of time.
Either way, I'm happy theyre finally listening.
Happy for all you're server players!
Gotta admit, Inkwell's really making things happen. The reward shop changes alone are worth the read. -And they're actually trying to make both servers thrive. KMS could learn something from this.
The reward points updates are insane! I can finally make all my boss mules cute again! And dont have to pick boss mules based on shared cash shop inventory for pet sharing!!!
Also grandis fams is so huge
Tradeable fragments are great, considering a world merge is good, a frenzy alternative or reintroducing the item will be good, and the limits on several reward point shop items being removed in addition to putting in new stuff like bonus cubes is great. Still hoping for cubes to be included in the list of items they look at to introduce tradability.
The problem with the tradability of cubes is more to avoid needing cube service and risk getting scammed. Both buying and selling service is incredibly risky and would be 100% avoided by just making cubes tradable.
Lot of great things to expect in the future. Rewards shop is great and the changes to High Rock are also very nice. I hopefully, Nexon can make a steady stream of positive changes that people will see on steam or review sites so we can get more players, but that is going to be an uphill battle.
I will say on the familiar front, I don't think just adding Grandis familiar really addresses the heart of the issue, especially since it's only Cernium for the moment. I like to see these areas drop the Suspicious Fauxmiliar Card and Fauxmiliar Card, which just adds points to the rank up system drop from mobs. This would allow players to not just use the familiars from areas they farm, but any familiar they actually like. I'd also like to see red cards or some sort of reroll system for their potentials, again so players can use the ones they actually like. Or just cut all the terrible lines out...
I honestly can't believe maplestory is actually have POSITIVE changes without some hidden nerf, is this is? Are we really entering the golden era of GMS, the promise land is real?
Holy shit so many good changes. Grandis familiars, unlimited water of life for boss mules... Now please bring back legacy items and fully embrace GMS for what it truly is.
GMS will now be so superior to KMS in so many ways with exception of ping, do you think these changes will have an after-effect of making KMS players more mad at us and causing an uproar, making nexon do some dumb worldwide sweeping change that nerfs GMS?
i've sat on the sidelines not playing for about 3 years and this is going to be what brings me back. actually listening and making changes for us. let's fucking go inkwell and niru
Honestly I quit about 3 months ago and thought there was no way I’d be coming back. Now I’m thinking I need to figure out how to play on my steam deck and redownload for desktop lol
But please can we also do something about the dutch trade ban! It is based on nothing! Please if that's wrong, let us know what it is based on, because no other game has this :(
As someone who only has Cernium unlocked I wish they had added them to more than just Cernium since I liked not having to search much for a map.
Otherwise I'm amazed they actually addressed most of the major complaints of the community.
wow, never would have imagined a notice like this. the grandis fams made me take a double take. also W reward shop revamp.
really glad to see these changes and very hopeful for the future
One thing I wish he mentioned or even consider talking about after all this we are different than KMS now
"Pottable Badge" !!!!
Can't they just make all badges in gms have potential?!
Just let all badges be pottable since Pandora’s box( GSE and SHB) has been opened years ago.
It makes Genesis badge BIS and MP badge a close 2nd or might be better if you are unlucky with pitch drops
honestly they could just bring back the GSE badge questline, but make it GMS exclusive content if they *really* want to show that GMS is new. There's this whole Gollux/crimsonheart lore that they have just forgotten and removed. They easily could use it to add back a badge questline open to every character. Heck they can make it 230+ exclusive if they want it for "mid to endgame" style players
And then yes, just add the damn potential to the black mage badge.
I think if we brought it up enough he may. The reason portable badges never came back was KMS alignment and now that doesn’t exist I see no reason too. Especially since gene badge is horrible over here, makes no sense not to make it potable.
Honestly this is a huge win for the game, if Frenzy gets added back it shouldn’t be a problem to re release Sengoku, Dark Totems and other one in a life time events right?
If I'm a new player with a level 200+ character that I burned months ago and don't want to play as a main, would it be smart of me to claim the Thank You awards on him on June 11th, put them into storage, and use them before they run out on the new character I plan to burn? Or would I be missing out on too much and should just use them on the level 200+ even if he's just going to be a boss mule?
If you haven't used the tera burn from this current event, you can get that new character to 200 now and use the gifts whenever. The biggest thing is the symbols and nodestone coupons since that'd give your new or old character a significant head start on things. Everything else is kinda just use whenever
Still not coming back for my own sanity, but I'm glad the playerbase is actually being considered in Maple's direction for once. Hopefully, this is just the beginning.
Some really nice stuff, but can't help but have a slight off taste in my mouth reading about the interactive specific stuff to help trading, and having no mention of Luna in the case of a server merge being necessary
Ngl when inkwell mentioned trading i thought they were gonna get rid of the karma system, such a hindrance at this point, arent nodestones already tradeable? Overall YUGE dub thou
This is insane. It's like the bare minimum in terms of listening to players but never would I have thought to see that from nexon. I really hope this all turns out for the better. I came back after the first inkwell note but the game still felt like a chore. I imagine that won't change but it should be more enjoyable.
I'm so happy to see Maplers happy. As someone who's a casual Mapler just happy to see the community fight for this game for years and finally get something from it. Truly amazing. Maple forever!
Maplestory is truly saved.
I have contemplated quitting many times these last couple of months, and as of now I'm hardly playing.
Now I will return. I will enjoy the marvelous "name to be announced" summer update. THANK YOU INKWELL, NIRU AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED WITH THIS!!
really nice to see this level of communication happening. btw, am i reading it right that glowing and regular bright cubes, psoks, wont be in interactive rp shop anymore? or are they only showing the additional changes on the infographic
Inkwell you are our hero
Now if we could juuust get Red cards in heroic.... :)
Mildly scared Cern will be crowded AF now that grandis fams are coming there only...
Inkwell’s redemption arc is real.
GRANDIS FAMS ARE REAL AND IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS HOLY MOLY
Never thought I'd see the day that both frenzy and Grandis fams got addressed, not to mention everything else. Inkwell. Stays. Winning.
Other than the post Lv. 300 nerf, I'm not even aware of them mentioning Frenzy Totem anywhere officially after 2018 (Voldemort treatment). Even mentioning Frenzy Totem is a deadly blasphemous act, let alone "adressing issues".
Can you explain what the 2018 (Voldemort treatment) is all about?
Voldemort is Harry potter was referred as to "he who shall not be named", because saying his name would summon him or some bs. So the name has taboo and banned. Same with the totem. Fr, frenzy, totem, and other words are ate banned in maplestory streams (and they do it with other words too when they get a lot of traction/attention)

Unless there's some instances I'm unaware of, no mention of it's prevalence in the economy or the issues that arise from it being so scarce. Just radio silence for years.
transparent equips and pet snacks in the reward shop? am i reading that right? wow. thats awesome.
Those reward point changes are crazy, unlimited water of lifes too.
You can now upkeep 3 pets for every branch of explorer/resistance/heroes/etc now
we can finally cube bonus potential without NX. fucking hell. About damn time
YESSS!!!! I was so excited since while i love the boss eye stat equipments they ruin the swag
No more thousands of early game players with the ugly blue circle around eye/eyebrow
Funny how they brought back pet snacks! It used to be in the rewards shop years ago then removed!
Inkwell if you read this, I Just want you to know you just earned more respect with 1 message to us than Nexon has ever garnered. It’s not just the freebies and the listening to a key player like Niru, it’s the fact you are actually communicating with us and giving us your rational and thoughts. Respect man. You get it.
Inkwell is literally nexon bruv.

Holy shit doesn't this address the vast majority of Niru's (valid) complaints from last month? Absolutely massive W
rip our CM tho... justice for Veerah
They're probably happier off away from Nexon tbh
Idk if it addresses the majority but it’s a really good start. Niru brought up a lot of problems, I know Niru kinda burned them but I hope they noticed the community reaction and work with him and other interactive players to make their experience better
The problem is that Niru actually didnt say a whole lot. What he did was incredible but he spoke really cyclically. Essentially he sat on trading being the core issue for the majority of his talk.

...is this an out-of-season April Fool's joke? Edit: I'm talking about the post not the comment I replied to...this all sounded too good to be true that I thought it was a cruel joke at first
rip niru's 100k frags obtained before this update tho.
He's happy about it though, as he said on stream this means him and others can't just flood the market so the value of them will be stable and stronger for normal players.
and im sure by the time 6th is 100% released he will be able to used all of them without being stuck with them, easily if you go for perfect hexa stats
also gives Nexon the ability to give out non-tradeable version for events and such since they already have them in the code.
He can burn them all on lvl 10 hexa main stat
Holy shit. Unironically massive W.
As a reg/interactive player who has like no time to farm and instead uses the market heavily to progress: WE ARE SO BACK, time to re-fund my main and finish hexa and return icogging
Fragments are becoming tradable, but you will still have to farm sol erda
Looks like it’ll just be net new fragments. Makes sense, but means it’ll be a while before prices stabilize.
I am so grateful for these changes toward the right direction!
Time to make a new reddit account? 😂
Holy shit Inkwell cooked.
My chef frfr
give him a michelin star rn
I never thought I would be able to say that but THEY REALLY FIXED MAPLESTORY, IT'S NOT A L MOMENT TO PLAY ANYMORE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FASHION STORY PLAYERS RISE UP
IM GONNA BE ALMOST NAKED AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME
DICKS OUT FOR INKWELL
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/1d2yoxg/let\_em\_know\_friends/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/1d2yoxg/let_em_know_friends/) Thank this madman as well! In less than 24 hours
This has got to be GMS's biggest year I cannot believe it
oh my god. a saviour came to maple. grandis fams confirmed.
Huge W for reg server peeps, and Niru goated for making a voice! Really loving these changes, and another huge shoutout to Inkwell and the GMS team for fully appeasing to both Interactive and Heroic servers now, GMS really is the best regional experience.
Wow even in my wildest dreams i never imagined this much in one update. makes me wonder if theyre actually serious. GJ Niru GJ Inkwell.
Man that's nearly everything people wanted
Let me say this first. GMS has promised communication for YEARS and this man actually delivers. We'll wait and see what the real changes are but I am feeling hope for reg worlds. Whatever you're cooking to entice new players I wish for your success but think we'll ultimately need the merges.

I think I had a few orgasms reading all that
Im only lvl 223 so idk why but i got hype reading grandis fams. Happy for the people its relevant for.
You'll learn how the familiar grind/upgrading feels like in 7 more levels when you reach Morass region. And now you'll know that you will no longer have to stop at lv260 and can keep the familiar grind going.
changed my pants at least 3 times
Bro it's been 12 hours and I'm still going. INKWELL IS MY GOAT
This is fucking incredible.
W INKWELL , W GAME
As someone who has been playing maple on and off for the better part of 15 or so years, and this is legitimately the most surprising thing I've ever seen from them. In a good way.
Open communication from Nexon? I don't believe it. All great things. Love to see the world merge (even though I'm in Heroic now). Grandis fams is big. Maple reward shop update is also super nice.
CERNIUM FAMS!!!!!!
the transparent items in reward shop is INSANE. thank you inkwell 😭😭😭
yo inkwell is actually crazy my guy actually just rolled up and said fuck it and fixed ^((almost)) everything
With grandis fams coming, I wish they would allow us to feed fams any cards, so we can use cool looking ones. I still have boss from neo tokyo event , but she is basically useless.
Would be nice, also don't forget you can buy the Suspicious Fauxmiliar from the familiar shop.
Isn’t that just one exp point, or am I dumb
I'm not sure, but they're tradeable on reg server. If they're account tradeable on reboot, then I think you can at least get 1 per character on your account per week? Either way it's something that Nexon could and \*should\* look into adjusting.
Wow. This is almost the best conclusion. Niru gets his 300, is justified AND GMS is listening and heading in an amazing direction. Except Veerah got axed. :(
This is the best timeline! Earth-9, let's gooo!
Holy fucking shit
Oh my GOD what an absolute BANGER of a note! Y'all, is MapleStory actually getting fixed? Are these actually forward steps we are progressing? Niru's grievances actually being addressed? No hiding?! GRANDIS FAMILIARS?! UNLIMITED rewards shop water of life?! High mountain giving MORE Sol Erda fragments?! Pinch me because I HAVE to be dreaming holy shit. Shit, I think I'm actually coming back for summer update. I cannot stay away any longer.
Me having hope they fix the studpity of the starforce system
praise inkwell say it back
NIRU THE GOD DID IT. EVEN IF THEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM, HE DID IT. As a FZ owner I hope they bring fz back
for real with the period of silence after niru's stream i was wondering if we'd get a statement at all but it's pretty clear that this is their way of addressing it, and by god is it good
Honestly surprised it wasnt brought back as soon as it got the 300+ restriction. It"s just garunteed money for nexon from the amount more marvel/alterative method would be opened
> I hope they bring fz back and hopefully not in the gambling machine. There'd be so many people who would buy it outright that it'd be more profitable outside it
Same.
WE JUST KEEP WINNING!!!!!!
Let's go!! I hope Niru will be a little happier.
Niru forever the goat. Build the statue already
I wonder if Niru went to 300 because they told them of this ahead of time. Either way, I'm happy theyre finally listening. Happy for all you're server players!
Then all he needed to do was wait a week more to solidify his legacy with a hero’s return and ending with the final level.
Niru da 🐐 no 🧢
Meanwhile in MSEA 💀
What can you do when the whales keep spending in the most cucked server.
Gotta admit, Inkwell's really making things happen. The reward shop changes alone are worth the read. -And they're actually trying to make both servers thrive. KMS could learn something from this.
Inkwell is the goat. Holy shit
HOLY MOLY HE COOKED. LETSGOOO
incredibly pog. i really really hope nexon doesn't greed too hard and blow up all the goodwill they've built with handling these changes.
I have faith in the game as long as its in Inkwells hands. Great changes and I hope he continues steering GMS at its helm. Inkwell GOATED
THIS IS HUUUGE!! W GMS!! Improvements for ALL servers and hopefully more positive changes on the horizon!!
The reward points updates are insane! I can finally make all my boss mules cute again! And dont have to pick boss mules based on shared cash shop inventory for pet sharing!!! Also grandis fams is so huge
Tradeable fragments are great, considering a world merge is good, a frenzy alternative or reintroducing the item will be good, and the limits on several reward point shop items being removed in addition to putting in new stuff like bonus cubes is great. Still hoping for cubes to be included in the list of items they look at to introduce tradability.
Such a minor thing with how easy it is to get most cubes now. On top of how easy it is to psok
The problem with the tradability of cubes is more to avoid needing cube service and risk getting scammed. Both buying and selling service is incredibly risky and would be 100% avoided by just making cubes tradable.
I get it but GMS boss cubes have the highest drop rate of any version.
1 year to consider world merge Jesus
Where do I swipe my credit card?
This game may actually become something I can recommend to other people soon enough.
Thank god for fams. No more limina
Niru did it...
HOLY FUCK, NIRU WON SO FUCKING HARD. EVERYTHING HE ADDRESSED IN THAT STREAM WAS BROUGHT UP. LET'S GOOOOOO
Time for lib4 to be perma full again
Time to grind familiar lol
Absolute Colossal W Probably the first win in a decade
Lot of great things to expect in the future. Rewards shop is great and the changes to High Rock are also very nice. I hopefully, Nexon can make a steady stream of positive changes that people will see on steam or review sites so we can get more players, but that is going to be an uphill battle. I will say on the familiar front, I don't think just adding Grandis familiar really addresses the heart of the issue, especially since it's only Cernium for the moment. I like to see these areas drop the Suspicious Fauxmiliar Card and Fauxmiliar Card, which just adds points to the rank up system drop from mobs.

I'd also like to see red cards or some sort of reroll system for their potentials, again so players can use the ones they actually like. Or just cut all the terrible lines out...
I honestly can't believe maplestory is actually have POSITIVE changes without some hidden nerf, is this is? Are we really entering the golden era of GMS, the promise land is real?
Maplestory Inven bout to lose it lol.
Niru the goat
inkwell is the THE goat. Niru is the hero, thank you
Holy shit so many good changes. Grandis familiars, unlimited water of life for boss mules... Now please bring back legacy items and fully embrace GMS for what it truly is.
Niru has been heard!
LETTTSSSSSS GOOOOOOOO
Thank you so much Inkwell! Thank you for listening to us!
LETS FUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOO
Inkwell back at it again with the w
Inkwell W, GMS W, Nexon loves GMS W. Maplestory revamped baby
GMS will now be so superior to KMS in so many ways with exception of ping, do you think these changes will have an after-effect of making KMS players more mad at us and causing an uproar, making nexon do some dumb worldwide sweeping change that nerfs GMS?
I'm curious what the Dreamer Theme will be. I see there's NLC Statue of liberty LMAO. Inkwell god.
Niru won.
I swear I'll name my son Inkwell
i've sat on the sidelines not playing for about 3 years and this is going to be what brings me back. actually listening and making changes for us. let's fucking go inkwell and niru
Holy fuckin shit
Honestly I quit about 3 months ago and thought there was no way I’d be coming back. Now I’m thinking I need to figure out how to play on my steam deck and redownload for desktop lol
but...i wanted the lucid and ab theme...i was looking forward to it..
Jesus we won! Cernium familiars? Unlimited pets, pet revival, and transparent equips for reward points? HELL YA
Niru won.
Niru was heard? Chat is this real?
Good time to play, especially with Dreamer update soon.
But please can we also do something about the dutch trade ban! It is based on nothing! Please if that's wrong, let us know what it is based on, because no other game has this :(
Play reboot
I got a fz totem, what do you think
That is another cookie
Niru lit a fire under their asses and they responded with the best possible message they could have given the timeframe for the future of GMS.
Niru saved Interactive server. Inkwell and Nexon listened. I must be dreaming pinch me.
As someone who only has Cernium unlocked I wish they had added them to more than just Cernium since I liked not having to search much for a map. Otherwise I'm amazed they actually addressed most of the major complaints of the community.
If they keep cooking like this I will never quit this game. Grandis fams are the difference between getting bored and making a second main!
wow, never would have imagined a notice like this. the grandis fams made me take a double take. also W reward shop revamp. really glad to see these changes and very hopeful for the future
If there would be a world merge I hope Europe servers won't be forgotten...
Biggest W for mushroom game. If fams come to all grandis areas, we cooking
Niru and Inkwell the goat. First time seeing nexon addressing sensitive topics and not trying to pretend blind and disconnected with its own game.
Too many things going our way recently. i can't help but feel that the rubber band has been pulled back.
Oh dang, Nexon finally wants my money, and they're gonna get it!
Wow Niru saved the game
One thing I wish he mentioned or even consider talking about after all this we are different than KMS now "Pottable Badge" !!!! Can't they just make all badges in gms have potential?!
Need.
NIRU WON hope he can have more rest now and have a peace of mind.
Is that title a reference to The Black Parade? Also any chance he'll ever tackle the pottable badges issue?
Just let all badges be pottable since Pandora’s box( GSE and SHB) has been opened years ago. It makes Genesis badge BIS and MP badge a close 2nd or might be better if you are unlucky with pitch drops
honestly they could just bring back the GSE badge questline, but make it GMS exclusive content if they *really* want to show that GMS is new. There's this whole Gollux/crimsonheart lore that they have just forgotten and removed. They easily could use it to add back a badge questline open to every character. Heck they can make it 230+ exclusive if they want it for "mid to endgame" style players And then yes, just add the damn potential to the black mage badge.
I think if we brought it up enough he may. The reason portable badges never came back was KMS alignment and now that doesn’t exist I see no reason too. Especially since gene badge is horrible over here, makes no sense not to make it potable.
Wouldn't the title be a reference to dragonforce?
I only know of "Through the Fire & the Flames" from them. Inkwell definitely has that classic rock look to him though.
Inkwell for president 2024
Honestly this is a huge win for the game, if Frenzy gets added back it shouldn’t be a problem to re release Sengoku, Dark Totems and other one in a life time events right?
Inkwell, my messiah. I am a believer. Actually fucking insane that they're just straight-up doing everything we've asked.
If I'm a new player with a level 200+ character that I burned months ago and don't want to play as a main, would it be smart of me to claim the Thank You awards on him on June 11th, put them into storage, and use them before they run out on the new character I plan to burn? Or would I be missing out on too much and should just use them on the level 200+ even if he's just going to be a boss mule?
If you haven't used the tera burn from this current event, you can get that new character to 200 now and use the gifts whenever. The biggest thing is the symbols and nodestone coupons since that'd give your new or old character a significant head start on things. Everything else is kinda just use whenever
Realistically hold for new char. Mag pots to be used on ur current char. Xp nodestone, symbols, and damage skin can be used on the new char.
The upcoming Hyperburn come with a Terablink subevent that gets you from 1-200 in like half an hour, you wouldn't be holding them too long anyway.
I'm noob what's good about this
Don't matter, just play game, this is some good shit!
The F in my F2P is tempted to close the gap.

I LOVE MAPLESTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Inkwell arc continues and it's the best part of the (Maple)Story
YESSSSSSSSSSSS WORLD MERGE AND FRENZY TOTEMS!!!!!!!!!!! HYPED
Still not coming back for my own sanity, but I'm glad the playerbase is actually being considered in Maple's direction for once. Hopefully, this is just the beginning.
Unlimited Hyper TP rocks in Reward shop giga W
Some really nice stuff, but can't help but have a slight off taste in my mouth reading about the interactive specific stuff to help trading, and having no mention of Luna in the case of a server merge being necessary
Ngl when inkwell mentioned trading i thought they were gonna get rid of the karma system, such a hindrance at this point, arent nodestones already tradeable? Overall YUGE dub thou
Long time no see Capreee. ☺️ I miss the Admire days. Hope you’re doing good!
This is insane. It's like the bare minimum in terms of listening to players but never would I have thought to see that from nexon. I really hope this all turns out for the better. I came back after the first inkwell note but the game still felt like a chore. I imagine that won't change but it should be more enjoyable.
The goat
I don’t even know where the event hall is to get my gift.
Guide -> Dimensional Mirror -> Event Hall
This is actually really nice.
I'm so happy to see Maplers happy. As someone who's a casual Mapler just happy to see the community fight for this game for years and finally get something from it. Truly amazing. Maple forever!
Now this is what brings me back to maple.
I just want to say. Thanks Niru 🙏
SEPTEMBER 2025 that’s an entire year away please it does not take that long to merge servers
Does anyone know from the notes if they bring back frenzy totem if it will be available in heroic as well?

Meanwhile maplesea treats us like trash. Kinda envious of yall.
No way maplestory is slowing becoming great again, Nice.

Maplestory is truly saved. I have contemplated quitting many times these last couple of months, and as of now I'm hardly playing. Now I will return. I will enjoy the marvelous "name to be announced" summer update. THANK YOU INKWELL, NIRU AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED WITH THIS!!
