Time and time again, I have been dissapointed by the underwhelming patch notes GMS has been using lately. If you want to create more hype for a new patch, a good patch note is just as much part of it than tweeting some picture of the new patch. Actually patch notes create more hype for a new patch than a small picture does.

Pro's good patch notes give:
- Better advertising your game
- Better informing of your current players and mostly new players
- Less time spending with tickets answering everyones questions
- Being able to focus on fixing bugs in the game, like players getting stuck at Ereve (fix is available at EMS devs, just ask), Jobs with reflect skill getting dc-ed all the time (anti-hack police bug).
- More time to ban hackers/botters --> (Dear GM's of GMS have you ever visited Luna, and made your presence known, or any other server?

So as we all know Mpsea got their 5th patch notes today, with the patch and I like what I saw there. This is what we as players expect from patch notes.
It's compact, you can unfold sections you like to read. Its complete it shows dmg % changes of skills or number differences for some other parts like how many potions you can hold now in your inventory. I wish we could have patch notes like these for every patch from now on. Cause this is how patch notes should have been all along in my opinion..

p.s. For the next patch in GMS you got a very easy job, since you can use 90% of it, you only have to adjust it for Mpsea <-> GMS changes.
p.s.s. Notice of change of Patch Notes, http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/16967/changes-to-patch-notes

    The poll is unnecessary. We all want them to start putting some more time into full update notes, instead of this condensed hogwash we've been saddled with.
