MapleSEA's Justice Media Preview


MapleStory is the very first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that I've played when I was still in Secondary School. (Character name: madnessXjas, bowman) Those were the times whereby I can rush home from school and be stuck in front of the Computer for hours until late at night. I was so crazy about it back then that I even bought pre-paid cash cards at 7-11 so that I can get a kitty as pet and other exclusive items. I even memorized which function keys represent which facial expression so that I can glare/smile/cry at others. Subsequently, I also played other games like Dragonica, Legend of Edda, etc but I only played these games cause my bf is playing them and he asked me to join him and most of the time I just played until a few levels only.


So I'm really happy when I received the invitation to preview the Justice Content update patch at High Cafe, 19 East Coast Road on the 25th Oct, days before the official launch. Previously, Jessie has also shared with me her experience at the MapleStory event last year and it sounded so fun, so this year, knowing that I'm also interested, she helped me get the invites. Thanks so much!

Timeline of the key features that players can look forward to in the Justice Content Update:

Launch of ZEN Pirate-based Class 
 Zen's father Zhi Zun was the commander of the Hong Wu Troupe. As he was highly skilled in martial arts, it became his responsibility to protect the Emperor. One fine day, the Emperor got controlled by an unknown dark force and tried to attack him. A few exchanged of blows made the Emperor realised that Zhi Zun was too powerful so when Zen came into the battle, he targeted Zen. The father, sensing the danger, used himself as a shield to protect Zen and died. Zen managed to escape with his trainer Suha but while sailing in the sea, they met with a storm. Luckily, they ran into Kyrin and she saved both Zen and Suha. Surviving the fate from the death of the sea, it's now Zen's mission to avenge his father.

The cosplayers posing like the characters. Zen uses gun as weapons while Phantom uses card and cane as weapons. I can't wait to try the skills out after I install the game.

Thankful for the great accompany with Terence, Jessie and Shu Qing. It's always a joy with them around. Love the small bites and refreshing drinks that was served too. Everyone of us was given a chance to try out the game using the laptops provided and we all have fun exploring the master level skills.



A screenshot of one of the skills. When you characters in game have reached this stage whereby all the skills are at its max, it's seems so easy to play. One hit can cause great damages to the monsters already. 



Above are photos of some screenshots of the skills. Very cool right? Photos credit to Asiasoft.
