Welcome to gametobest for Maple
Story Mesos
Thursday 2nd August/... NEXON, the world-leading developer and
publisher of online games, is pleased to announce a busy
schedule of Summer special events for its hugely popular and
free to play massively multiplayer online role-playing game,
MapleStory.
Following the unprecedented success of MapleStory Europe’s
recent French Revolution event, in which players fought a
demonic Bastille wall to win a magical tricolour hat, NEXON
Europe is stepping up its schedule of special events, with yet
more culturally-themed promotions throughout August and beyond.
Planned festivities will kick off with an event based on Spain’s
famed La Tomatina celebration. The event, which is set to take
place for two weeks from August 16th, will pay homage to the
manic and world-famous tomato-fight that occurs every year in
the Spanish town of Buñol, Valencia. In MapleStory Europe’s La
Tomatina event, players will, among other tasks, have to band
together to save themselves from the fearsome onslaught of a
powerful tomato-shaped monster!
All players need to do to take part is speak to the relevant
in-game NPC to start the event. Details on where and when these
characters can be found, along with other surprise events, will
be revealed on the MapleStory Europe homepage,
www.mapleeurope.com, over the coming weeks. Further MapleStory
Europe-specific events currently planned include exciting takes
on both Germany’s traditional Oktoberfest beer festival and the
British celebration of Guy Fawkes Day.
“We’re delighted with the overwhelmingly positive response we
had to MapleStory Europe’s French Revolution event and are
extremely excited to be organising more European-focused in-game
events,” said Calvin Yoo, Director of International Business
Development at NEXON Europe. “We’re committed to keeping the
MapleStory Europe experience fresh and exciting for all our
players and we look forward to revealing many more such
promotions in the coming months.”
Originally launching in South Korea in April 2003 to huge
acclaim, MapleStory quickly became an internet phenomenon. Now
boasting over 67million registered accounts across Asia and
North America, it has firmly established itself as one of the
most successful MMORPG’s of all time. MapleStory Europe,
launched in May 2007, is the latest iteration of the MapleStory
family, offering gamers in Europe the chance to play MapleStory
in five different languages – English, French, German, Spanish
and Dutch. . . .
