[EMS 0.77] Chaos – Return of the Heroes

[EMS 0.76] Lion King’s Castle, Ultimate Explorer, Explorer and CK Updates, Guild Revamp, Master Monsters

Europe MapleStory’s October 2011 v76 update has gone live on October 5, 2011. It is quite the equivalent of GlobalMS’s AfterShock update. This puts EuropeMS safely ahead of ThailandMS in amount of content and further concertizes EuropeMS’s place as the fastest updating service of the game.

[MS] “Fastest Updating” and “Most Updated” Rankings: Q3 2011

It’s the final week of the final month of the quarter and that means it’s time for Msupdate’s “Fastest Updating” and “Most Updated” Rankings.

This project started in April when I compared the content of all the services, but specifically KoreaMS, GlobalMS, MapleSEA and EuropeMS, in Content Speed Comparisons: KMS, GMS, MSEA, EMS . The last rankings were “Fastest Updating” and “Most Updated” Rankings: Q2 2011 .

Due to its closure on October 31 and the lack of updates since December 2010, BrazilMS has been removed from the rankings.

To quite understand what I mean by “fastest updating” and “most updated”, why I feel that EuropeMS remains the fastest updating service and why additional, original and exclusive content cannot be counted in how fast a MapleStory service updates (*cough* JapanMS), please read Content Speed Comparisons: KMS, GMS, MSEA, EMS.

Fastest Updating

Current Rank	Service	Move Since April 2011
1	Europe MapleStory	-
2	Global MapleStory	-
3	MapleStory South East Asia	+5
4*	China MapleStory	+1
4*	Taiwan MapleStory	+1
6	Korea MapleStory	-2
7	Japan MapleStory	-4
8	Thailand MapleStory	-1

*China MapleStory and Taiwan MapleStory are tied. This is not a mistake.

There has been a pretty major shakeup in the Fastest Updating rankings with JapanMS falling 4 places and MapleSEA rising 5.

[EMS v73] Lots of Content With Big Bang

Does everyone realize that EuropeMS’s Big Bang patch is basically a complete copy of MapleSEA’s client, minus Resistance. I’m sure no Europeans are complaining since all the content that EuropeMS didn’t have but MapleSEA did, EuropeMS now has (except Resistance). MapleSEA, ThaiMS and EuropeMS are almost equal in total game content now.

Europe MapleStory’s first Big Bang update didn’t just include the stuff that GlobalMS got in its first update, they got much more! In addition to the Maple World revamp, skill balancing, etc., the following were added:

• MTS
• Malaysia
• Ulu City
• Neo TOKYO (now people will see that the hype that surrounded Neo Tokyo was all crap. It’s a good area for the extreme high levels, a very, very small percentage of players.)
• Ninja Castle
• Pine Forest (Himes area)
• Gachapon (replaced Pigmy)
• Much more

Go EMS! So basically right now EuropeMS has almost everything MapleSEA has except for Resistance.
