It says in the update that this event will be running, is that after the patch? Or On June 28th

Burninator consumable, I didnt see that anywhere. Was that supposed to be in one of the gift boxes, and if so which one? Or is the Burninator the one thats been going for the last whatever weeks?
No, only newly-created characters can be burned using the mega-burning event. To burn a new character, create the character, select the character on the character select screen, and then click the "burn" button beneath.
The Burninator event is a separate event. It was given out as a reward for the Ark micro-site share event. A second burninator was planned to be released as a Sunny Sunday prize, however it was removed due to initial complications with the first burninator item (the first burninator was extended, and the second burninator would have conflicted with the first).
You can tell the difference between the two events by the color flame produced:
The burninator makes your character glow purple, while the mega burning event makes them glow red. Both events produce the same effect of 2 additional levels for every 1 level gained.
I do not know if Nexon plans on releasing another burninator item. None are listed at this time. If they do have the event again, it will be listed.
You can read about the mega burning event here.
Hang on mate, this doesn't make sense. I read on the event, that once you make a burning character you get a Burninator and can transfer it any character you want, new or old, and use it on it.
Then how do I get a burninator, then?
The event clearly states you get a burninator this time, and there wasn't any statement regarding any complications. I was eagerly waiting for this, and now I don't understand where to get a Burninator item.
"Burn one character with the Mega Burning Event and another character with the Mega Character Burninator! "
It says you can burn another one with burninator, regardless of old or new character. Where exactly are we supposed to get Burninator from?
So, here's like it is:
1. At the beginning of June, the reward for sharing the Ark micro-site first page was an item called Burninator that allowed you to use it on 1 existing character and make it burn from level 10 to 149.
2. That Burninator's duration was extended due to issues with it. So, if you used it, the character still counts as "burning" until the end of June, more or less.
3. They were planning on giving out a 2nd Burninator item last Sunday, as part of the Sunny Sunday prizes, but since the 1st Burninator is still active in the accounts that got it and used it, they decided to not give out that 2nd item for the time being, so it wouldn't conflict with the one that was already at work and it wouldn't expire either.
4. Then this Ark Update came and, with it, came the Mega Burning Character event, which allows you to make one newly created character "burn". This only can be done from the character creation screen and doesn't apply to already existing characters. Also, it doesn't conflict with the already "burning character" that you may have in your account if you received and used the 1st Burninator item.
I don't think they have considered to give out the 2nd Burninator item yet and, instead, they made this other event, which allows you to burn a new character anyways.
I was hoping someone like Neospector, who is apparently a pseudo-spokesperson for Nexon, would be able to give a less vague explanation to this issue. Instead, I was given a response that makes no sense, and doesn't explain why the event page clearly states you can use a Burninator, without explaining where you can get one or which Burninator the reference is to.
Also, I haven't heard it anywhere officially announced on the website that the second Burninator was cancelled. Unless you've got a link to provide.
I was announced in the June 14th scheduled maintenance notes:
I hope someone more official than me can clarify things. I may even be mistaken, I don't know. I just shared what I thought I knew and understood of this whole thing.
The link you want with the official information is this: http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/31715/complete-update-scheduled-maintenance-june-14-2018
There's explained they will give compensations for people who lost the 1st Burninator because it was bugged and they let them expire, and that they wouldn't give a 2nd new Burninator for everyone on Sunny Sunday so it wouldn't conflict with the existing one. Hopefully, that'll help you see that that, at least, is not a theory but what they official published for all of us to see.
