Hello there again,

Many of you are curious for sure about some overseas contents which are part of the game, and sometimes you wish to have various fun and interesting events and activities which will make you busy in game but also with some cool/benefitable rewards for long-term use.

Let's talk about the quite recently fun event which is available in some overseas MapleStory's services: Line Friends X MapleStory!

This special content includes with some adorable characters such as Cony and Brown, and was released in MapleStory SEA recently (however in the last week the event has ended there).
The new exclusive thing that is included in rewards are sticker effects (an animated image inside a bubble).
You may collect up to 10 stickers which are defined as cash items and can be moved between characters through the cash inventory in the cash shop.
* Only stickers obtained from the coin shop are permanent, can be obtained once each randomally up to 10 different stickers.

    Looks like it's from a messaging application called Line by a company called Line Corporation.
    The characters from the application are being used for various products, animations and more for long time..
    It seems that these characters are mostly popular in the eastern countries, however it seems that these characters were brought to North America, too.
    However, in the western countries it's less popular and known...

    er, it's just Nexon copying events from other versions w.o checking if they're relevant to the audience.

    I don't mind. It introduces people to new things and its free stuff for the most part.
