Patch, patch, patch! (thank to mr.spadow)

This month a lot of different versions of MapleStory released new, huge content.
March should have been the jackpot for MS, but instead of delivering huge content, they released a party quest for Lv. 75 ~ 200.

Let’s have an overview of what kind of content other versions got for their March update.

ThailandMS

One week ago ThailandMS surprised their players with a huge update.

The legendary hero: Aran.
Not just Aran… This update brought Rien (duh!), Monster Survival and Ellin Forest.
Thailand is catching up fellas.

GlobalMS

On March 31, GlobalMS released Evan the Dragon Master along with a Neo City expansion and other new features.

Evan Mastery Books are now available in the Cash Shop. There are several packages to choose from.

Depending on the package each one contains 1 of 3 mastery books; Magic Guard, Magic Booster, and Critical Magic.

Magic Guard is the first book available at level 30, followed by Magic Booster, and Critical Magic at level 60.

Without the mastery books the player cannot bring Magic Guard, Magic Booster, and Critical Magic past skill level 5.

Each package contains a bonus coupon to trade in for weapons, scrolls or both!

Congratulations on Evan, but really? Cash shop mastery book for Evan?

This is new. KMS did not get Evan Mastery Books, the only Mastery Books that exist in Cash Shop are for Dual Blade.
Another exclusive update is the Neo City expansion.

Neo City

Players in groups of 2 or more can enter the new maps.

Content for players who are level 120 and up has been added to Neo City.

3 new maps containing 2 new bosses.

Each new boss has a chance to drop new items!

Though, the expansion of Neo City is not that great. A couple of new maps with no new monsters instead they took existing Neo City mobs and changed some of their stats. Yay, new +120 content.

JapanMS

Another version who released a big (and important) patch is JMS.
For their version 1.78 patch they got golden temple and the anticipated balance patch!

The patch also contained some new must-have UI upgrades and they have a bit of Evan and Dual Blade data. (!)

TaiwanMS

This is not happening in March but in April.

TaiwanMS is going to release Neo Tokyo with the expansion I think and Mushroom Kingdom.

This is the last day of March. I hope we’re going to see a lot of new and exciting updates in April!
