Hi, hope you are doing well 😎

General boss

Bossing was one of those things that have come a long way in MS. I remember the first Zakums and how people would queue up in lists to get a helmet. I also remember leaving pet loot on by accident and taking one by mistake (I promise!). Over time it became possible to solo Zak quite easily. Horntail was another one that really changed over time. It was a real ordeal to get all the bits to even be able to take on HT. And after awhile people were soloing it. I'm curious what the bossing situation is like these days. Can some of you post some of your fave screens / share some thoughts? #boss

Hey New things Greetings Basilers! It's been a long time since we've spoken. :) I hope you, your friends, family, and even mortal enemies, on and offline, are doing well through these perilous times. I'm sorry I haven't been more present. These last few years have been something else. :) I wanted to pop in and reconnect a bit and discuss some upcoming changes (everyone's favorite word!). The existing format isn't really doing justice to players and visitors. You should all be free to share screens, videos, and discuss in a simplified format, I think. If you're familiar with, that's the platform I have in mind. The site would be split up into various topics (Screens, Videos, Classes, etc). Instead of being split up into /screens, /videos, an

Ideas to liven things up Hey all, hope you're doing well! It's that time of year again when people go back to school and inevitably MS / Basil quiet down. It's true, the game is so old now it probably could use a cane, but given all the updates and new content this last year it's clear that Nexon is still very much committed to keeping it fun. Although things are slowing down over the long term, each year brings a similar ebb and flow. Traditionally, fall is fairly slow due to school and then November and December become much more active and exciting periods. So don't get discouraged! I wanted to write here to reassure you that Basil isn't going anywhere! In fact, I have some ideas on how to liven things up a bit during this quiet stretch.

Feedback for upgrading Basil? Hey Basilers, hope you're well. Allergies aside, I love this time of year! How about you? I'd like to share my thoughts about the possibility of completely revamping BasilMarket so as to encourage more sharing. In short, if you're familiar with BZL I'm considering importing that engine to BasilMarket. Read on for more detail or if you're unfamiliar with BZL. Pros + more focus on sharing screens / videos - they no longer require approval as you are encouraged to post as you would on a social media site - big and small achievements, funny stuff, etc. + the functionality and user interface are FAR superior and funner + your personal profile page is really awesome, check out WatchGintama as an example + your profil

Questions for interview with Nexon Hi all! Having a good summer? It's pleasantly chilly here this week, a nice break from those hot summer days. Aaanyway, as you all know, there's a new community captain at Nexon (). I thought it'd be fun to do an interview to see where MapleStory is headed and how some of the community issues will be addressed. As passionate as some of you are, I know you must have various questions you'd love to get answered. Feel free to list those below and I'll do my best to compile them all and craft an informative interview. Have fun, speak soon!

Player Pic guidelines Hi all, hope you're well. I keep thinking that Nexon will eventually get the player rankings back up, but it's been long enough that I think it's time for me to put up some info on the guideline I use to determine what player pics get ok'd / rejected. Essentially, to keep the pics looking consistent, they need to be lined and centered both vertically and horizontally. This isn't a preference, it's just how Nexon does it so it's how I've done it. Below are links to two images. The first shows my player pic centered properly. Note how the feet are standing on the line and the vertical line touches the edge of the eye. This isn't always the case as some shoes dip below the bottom line and obviously the sizes of eyes vary.

Join us at bzl.co Hi all, hope you're well! With MapleStory slowing down, it's natural that Basil slows down too. That is why I created bzl.co many months back and have been trying to get more Basilers to join up. If you like games, anime and art/illustration we have a lot of great folks sharing there, and we'd love to have you join too. If you remember the old OLD days of Basil, this is like that - that brand new community feels with no attitude. This is NOT a replacement for Basil, just a new place for you if you want to talk about something other than MS. PLUS - you can very easily import your old Basil screens/videos (after joining, just add a link to your basilmarket id page, that's it), not to mention integration for Twitch, Youtube,

BasilMarket screen/video integration on bzl now live Hi all, hope you're well. I just wanted to add a quick note that BasilMarket integration is now live on bzl.co. This mean that if you are a member on bzl and add a link to your BM account, bzl will automagically copy your latest screens and videos! Currently bzl.co supports BasilMarket, Soundcloud, Twitch (w/ online status indicator) and Youtube. I'll be adding Instagram and Tumblr next so that you can have all of your profiles in one place! More details soon. Enjoy!
