MapleStory Europe
With Easter just around the corner, bunnies and eggs abound in Nexon's MMOG.
March 12, 2009 ?This year’s Easter promises to be another fun and exciting festive event at MapleStory Europe. Starting on March 12, 2009, the four-weeks-event invites players to join a special event quest with the ever-grumpy, demanding Easter bunny “Mad Bunny? who is sick of painting Easter eggs and not afraid to express it. The only way to calm him down will be to gather the items he wants, which will be rewarded with a special Easter item and random EXP that Mad Bunny hands out.
Following the event, MapleStory Europe is now host to the Showa town, a mysterious area for players with exciting quests and fearsome new monsters to battle. Based on the picturesque Japanese town of the same name, MapleStory Europe’s version of Showa plays home to a quiet, medieval spa town filled with exotic calmness and flair of ancient Asia. But don’t be tricked by the peaceful and inviting scenery of Showa: the map is tailored for higher-level characters and hides threatening, powerful monsters that require advanced power and skills to defeat.
?009 promises to be a huge year for MapleStory Europe as we continue its extensive and rapid expansion,?said Sung Jin Kim, Manager of Europe Business at NEXON Europe. “We are adding another great portion of entertaining and exciting new content to the game with the introduction of the Showa map, not to mention the special event-quest celebrating Easter. But this is only the beginning as we have many new, extensive contents lined up for the coming months, for committed and new players alike.?br />
