Sympathies for anyone doing Girls Slumber Party quest For those who don't know, with the introduction of FriendStory Episode 6, a quest was added. This quest requires you call the Orchid NPC between the hours of 11PM-12AM EST every day for 30 days CONSECUTIVELY. If you miss a day, the entire quest resets and you must start over. The maintenance overlaps this timeframe entirely, and as such anyone currently engaged in it will be reset. My deepest sympathies. As a side note, this is a problem invented by the GMS staff. In the original KMS iteration of this quest, each time you called Orchid, you had a chance of getting the resulting chair after completion. For some odd reason the GMS team decided to force 30 consecutive days of calling her in

Eventually, Nexon has to be open about upcoming fixes As you should all know, this update is plagued with various serious issues which seem to require clientside updates to fix. Nexon seems to be planning v169 purely to fix these issues, but we do not know what is actually being addressed until the patch actually comes. This means they can easily miss serious issues, due to the immense distance between the community and the developers in control of these fixes. It would be comforting not just to the players but to the developers, because we would actually be able to get the worst bugs put at priority for notice, instead of hoping they have been noticed. Summary: Make a new version of [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/community#%2Fshowthread.

Maple Comics Chair removed from July 2, 2015 Gachapon Update I was looking over the Gachapon Update page and noticed one of the images was stretched oddly. Remembering seeing it earlier, I realized they had removed a chair: Maple Comics Chair. (The header still states "[i]Comic Book Chair[b]s[/b][/i]." ) [url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lNiLicETSjYJ:maplestory.nexon.net/shop/special-promotions/this-week/00Iba+]Original Page[/url] - [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/shop/special-promotions/this-week/00Iba]Current Page[/url] I'm making this thread in case anyone planned to participate in Gachapon tomorrow for this chair, since it seems it will not be available despite originally being listed as such.

Firepower Coin Coupon from Hot Time - How it worked in Kms [b]Edit:[/b] [quote=cotopia]Actually, it will only give you 50 coins :p This is the info I extracted from the game data. Name: FIREPOWER Coin Coupon Description: A coin coupon from the Hot Time Box. When used, it will give you 50 FIREPOWER Coins[/quote] Checked Southperry and I can confirm this. Sad. I suppose as MyBigAssBoat mentioned, you can push over the Friend limit, making the original function of the coupon exploitable. ------------- When I looked up KMS' version of this Hot Time, of the unique features I noticed was how the coupon worked. If it works the same in GMS, I think more users should know this so they do not prematurely utilize their coupons. According to how this c

Does anyone have the Watch Chair and can show me it? I saw the Watch Chair on Orange Mushroom and forgot about it until it was released with the recent Gachapon update. I noticed it showed a Day and Time, and wanted to know if it is real time or fake. I found out it was one of those Design a Thing contest winners, and when I looked up the designer's post, I found out the chair is mostly just inspiration - Nexon designed it themselves, meaning they could have implemented a time function if they wanted. On the end: [b]Edit:[/b] I was shown the chair ingame. Sad. It just cycles between 10:28 and 10:30 within 2 seconds repeatedly. I'd have loved to have a chair that constantly shows me game-time.

Sneaky Nexon with the Spring into Summer banners You should notice what's going on here (Bottom-Right corner of each):,3o4y6kc (Direct links: [url=http://nxcache.nexon.net/spotlight/286/00IHs-878f7efa-3b9d-4698-92d6-6f502af67eca.jpg]Small[/url] - [url=http://nxcache.nexon.net/spotlight/286/00IHs-73186ba3-c56b-4f80-8f96-96abf86b5e20.jpg]Large[/url]/[url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates/update-notes/00IWk]Update Notes Page[/url]) [b]Edit:[/b] So you know, Grill Master's data [i]was not included in v162[/i]. However, the banners do include the character, so it may be possible for a future patch.

Any idea how to get Girls Slumber Party chair yet? [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXh4LZNypHI&t=2m46s]Girl's Slumber Party chair[/url] is part of the new hidden quests in FriendStory. I heard a rumor you can obtain it by calling one of the NPCs during a certain time of day. If anyone has more details, it'd be appreciated. To be more specific, it was calling one of the NPCs (forgot which) between 8-9 AM (PST?). This might not be right - or it might not be the right timeframe - but the best we can do is have someone try calling them all every hour throughout today.

Please, do not horde Black Friday Lucky Box exclusives I have noticed hording has begun with items exclusive to Black Friday Lucky Box. This is unfair and frustrating to users who want to legitimately use them. Other shops in this server has sold these chairs for far less. One individual is attempting to drive up the price by cornering the market on Waterwheel Chair, having a monopoly whereas he can set the price ridiculously high with no other option for players who want it.

Cannot enter Coles Mine - Already did Lecture [url=http://i.imgur.com/QIv9EoJ.jpg]Screenshot of the current situation[/url] As you can see, I finished the Lecture 07/11/2011, before the Ardentmill revamp. I recall having this problem after the revamp, but at the time I didn't have enough interest in the area to pursue the issue, and assumed it would be fixed either way. However, lately I've been wishing to increase my Insight, and realized the issue persists. Is there any way around this? I've had a hard time looking up help. The best I found was [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2856191/0/Help_with_mining.html]here, from FriedCod[/url]. However, switching secondary professions doesn't work, as I do not get quests from the NPCs afterwar

Request: Videos of Santa's Missions' Chimney Sequences Particularly, the harder version. I can make it all the way to the last set of two puffs of steam, but there I get stuck. Unlike the other sets, whereas there is always a part where the bottom puff goes before the top, the last set always has the top go off first except when they align. This is why I want a video of this portion being done. I have managed to pass this area the last 5 or so times, but only out of shear luck. I honestly don't recall how I did it. Seeing a video of someone aligning to the sequence works better than description in text, since I have trouble associating patterns.

Who didnt register for Black Heaven due to misunderstanding [quote=MegaScience]I believe the wording of how to participate in this event was unclear. I only just now realized that by "Registrations must be confirmed", this was talking about registering existing accounts to a listing. Normally, Registration - especially when considering on the micro-site - would be thought to pertain to registering entirely new accounts for new users. Combined with the fact that previously the micro-site had primarily been introduction of new users and not act as exclusive method of event participation, I had believed the terms area was simply referring to making sure your existing account was confirmed via email or the like. Suppose I'm just venti
