Legend Patch

In KMS, the new Legend patch brought up 3 new jobs- Cannon Shooter (Adventurer Pirate that used Hand Cannon and carries around a flying monkey), Mercedes (Hero Bowman that can do airial attacks and uses Dual Bowguns), and Demon Slayer (Resistance Warrior that uses Force instead of MP and has wings). I'm not registered so I can't edit the article- can somebody do it for me?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.85.68.128 (talk) 21:21, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Article cleanup

Not that I profess to be some kind of know-it-all, but I've been playing this game for 6 years and am pretty knowledgable in the game and its mechanics; thus, I can help revise this article, at least so it makes a little more sense to people unfamiliar with jargon and MapleStory in general. It also has an excessive amounts of wikilinks, some used more than once. When I get some time I'll see what I can do. If there's anything in particular besides the missing citations that needs attention, let me know. Valce Talk 19:37, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

"MapleStory has a combined total of over 100 million subscribers worldwide."

... only the linked source doesn't support that statement at all. The combined number from that page would be 47.1 million, and even that has a big mistake from the Korean pamphlet it quotes (it took the listed 900,000 subscribers in Japan for 9 million). The Korean original even gives a worldwide total with 39 million. That's for 2006, of course, so the page might need another (better) source to begin with.87.156.139.238 (talk) 03:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Some KMS updates

As a KMS player who had been playing for 6 years, and also part of the KMS Test Server, Tespia, I would like to give a heads-up... If you need sources, just go to KMS site (hopefully you can read Korean). I can't give sources for Test Server infos as you have to be a Test Server user to view them.

-The current KMS version is 1.2.148

-The creation of Dual Blade/Demon Slayer/Mercedes/Cannon Shooter is limited

-A new Hero Thief, Phantom, is currently going through Test Server; here are some informations: Phantom uses a new weapon type called "Cane", Phantom has a unique ability to steal any Explorer skills and use them as its own — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.165.194 (talk) 00:51, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Some additions and edits

I would like to obtain permission to edit the "Characters" section in the article to add and edit information, being a player myself.

Here's what I'm supposed to add: (1) To quote from the article: "A class advancement called "Dual Blade" is available for the Thief class at level 20, allowing them to wield a second blade with different class advancements."

My proposed edit: "A class advancement called "Dual Blade" is available for the Thief class at level 20, allowing them to wield a second blade, called "katara" with different class advancements and some different skill sets."

(2) "There are five branches for the Cygnus Knights, namely, Dawn Warrior (light-attributed, sword-wielding warriors), Wind Archer (wind-attributed, bow-wielding warriors), Blaze Wizard (fire-attributed magicians), Night Walker (dark-attributed, "claw"-wielding thieves), and Thunder Breaker (lightning-attributed, "knuckle"-wielding pirates)."

(3) To quote from the article: "Arans have the Combo System, a unique feature to the class, allowing them to generate combo counts by hitting monsters giving them buffs and allowing them to cast combo-consuming skills. Evans are similar to Magicians but use a dragon which fights on their behalf. Mercedes has many of the similarities of an Archer but contains various speed improvements over the regular Archers."

My proposed edit: "Arans have the Combo System, a unique feature to the class, allowing them to generate combo counts by hitting monsters giving them buffs and allowing them to cast combo-consuming skills. Arans wield "pole-arms" to allow them to generate combo counts. Evans are similar to Magicians but use an "Onyx Dragon", named Mir, which fights on their behalf. Mercedes has many of the similarities of an Archer but contains various speed improvements over the regular Archers. Mercedes wield "dual bowguns" a weapon exclusive to the Mercedes."

Some of these should not be added as they are too "In-universe" and must take an encyclopedic stance. For instance, we do not need to mention kataras, or how Cygnus Knights are related to elements and their weapons. I know the classes are outdated but I have been too busy with school to add and source them. If you have any questions, you can ask me. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 09:12, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
