    Big Bang Changes

    - Leveling

    o As mentioned in a previous post, the experience curve for leveling is much less steep after Big Bang than it was previously. This means from Lv.10 on, the amount of experience points needed to progress from one level to the next is lower, making leveling up faster throughout levels 10-200.

    - Fighting

    o Extensive changes have been made to the fighting system. The formulas for damage, defense, accuracy, and avoidability have all been extensively overhauled. Important to note for new and old players alike is that accuracy is decreased by a set amount for every level lower than a monster you are, to prevent players from attempting to hunt monsters that would be too difficult for them.

    - Maps

    o Several changes have been made to maps throughout Maple World, with the most extensive change being a completely rearranged Victoria Island.

    o Towns have new layouts, and many monster maps have been removed or replaced.

    o Travel on foot to the Victoria Island towns has been expedited with the addition of Six Path Crossway to the center of the island as a hub.

    § The entrance to Sleepywood and the airships to Orbis and Ereve have been moved to Six Path Crossway as well.

    o Some modifications have been made to Orbis to make the town easier to navigate.

    - Item Drops

    o The drop rates of many Use and some Etc. items have been increased, with the drop rate of most HP and MP recovery items having been increased considerably.

    - Party Quests

    o The starting levels for some party quests have been changed, and the upper level restriction for most party quests has been removed.

    o Many party quests that weren’t previously in the Party Search menu have been added to it.

    o Modifications have been made to some of the party quests, such as First Time Together.

    o Astaroth has been added as an option to the Dimensional Mirror for characters of the appropriate levels.

    - Quests

    o Most NPCs in Maple World received a lesson in grammer, so their dialog should be grammatically correct.

    o Most quests in the game have been retooled. Quest requirements have been adjusted in response to the changes in maps and in monster levels

    o Quests that are now for a different level than before have had had their rewards adjusted accordingly.

    o The hunting and/or collecting requirements for the completion of many quests have been lowered to expedite their completion.

    o The experience rewarded for many quests that are still for the same level has been increased.

    - Monsters

    o Most monsters throughout Maple World have had adjustments made to their levels, to varying degrees.

    o The stats of monsters—as well as the experience they give, the amount of mesos they drop, and the level of the equipment they drop—have been adjusted accordingly.

    o The levels of monsters have been specifically adjusted and consolidated to one area in to prevent an excessive need for travel throughout Maple World for quests of a certain level.

    o Some monster maps are now restricted by level to help prevent players from wandering into areas that are beyond their level range.

    - Skills

    o Skills for all jobs have been streamlined and consolidated into the most useful ones.

    o If you had Skill Points assigned to a skill that has been removed, those points will be returned to your SP pool.

    o A warning message will appear when you assign all SP normally obtainable to a lower job, to prevent you from accidentally assigning too many SP to an earlier job.

    This game can makes u forget about anything in real life...
    I mean, while u playing this game, all about u is reflex action...
    which is saying that you no longer think...
    so, everytime after u finished playing MS,
    you will have no idea what happened/how your last 4 hours passed~

    Er. New classes have been added and I think most people who already got far in the game won't restart for that reason. (Unless they already reach lvl 200 and has nothing better to do.) But Maplestory is one of those games where you have to have friends to party with and talk too. Or it won't be fun.

    ^ Lol @ above post. True if its the first time ever playing. After lvl 20 - 25 it gets really hard to lvl and then boring as heck.

    Does rs = runescape?
    Don't really know, since I've never played runescape so I don't really have a say in comparing.

    How to make custom hack shield image

    Today I am gonna guide you to teach how you can make a custom image for hack shield. When you start the game hack shield open with 2 images that are pre-adjusted. Let's learn how to change these images. (NOTE: This is 100% safe and won't affect your gameplay)

    First choose any two images(different or same) that are .jpg. Now name one hsupdate(.jpg) and the other splash(.jpg)

    Now go to your MapleStory folder and then open Hack Shiel folder. There delete the two images naming - hsupdate(.jpg) and splash(.jpg).
    Now just copy paste your images that you created before here.

    Open MapleStory game launcher and start the game. And viola! the hack shield pop is now showing your custom image! :)

    I wish you like this guide :)
