I'll forward this issue onward. Hopefully we can finally pull these pesky pocket watches until they finally serve a purpose other than telling us, "Hiya! Isn't it about timeyou visited your local NPC store? Gotta' help that shopkeeper earn a living somehow..."
Really excited for the Absolute Taste featuring celebrity chef, Gourdon Ritzy. Just imagining how much of his personality the writer's were able to capture from his real life counterpart without breaking the game's language filter:
"It's bloody RAAAaaaaw! You'll kill somebody!" "This chicken is pinker than your lipstick, Angelic Buster!" "Disgusting! GET OUT!" "Move it, donkey!"

It's time for another Look of the Month contest! We will be looking for the best outfits, costumes, and flair from each of your in-game characters!
Here's what we are looking for in specific:
A picture of your character dressed in your favorite MapleStory outfit. This can be your training gear, outfits from events, clothes from the Cash Shop, anything! We prefer the picture of your character be taken this month. After all, this is the Look of the Month contest.
Creativity based around the time of the year is something we consider as well. In months that have the possibility of themes (like October with Halloween and December with Christmas, for example) we may pick two winners if we see multiple entries in both categories.
Participants should write a short description of what your character is wearing and what sort of look you're going for.
Make sure to include your IGN and World.
Template:
This is just the basic template of what you should have in your entry:
[b]Image:[/b]

[b]What look you're going for (theme):[/b]

Originality: Is your outfit unique, or common? Is it yours, or is it everyone else's too?
Trendy: Is your outfit hip or lame?
Theme: Why does your outfit work? Does each piece of equipment have a "why" behind it, or is it cobbled together randomly?
Prizes:
Look of the Month winner will receive 35,000 Maple Points
Three (3) Runner Ups will receive 10,000 Maple Points
The winner will have their character spotlighted on the MapleStory Forums for the month following the event.
The winner will be chosen no later than August 25th, 2017 at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time. The Maple Points prize will be distributed within the coming week after the announcement.
For the month of August we will have 1 primary winner chosen:
Your character in their favorite MapleStory outfit!
We can't wait to see how fashionable your in-game characters are! And if you have any questions about this contest, feel free to ask!
FriendStory has some of the best writer filled with clean humor, pop culture references, and Hawkeye mutilating the French language.
Completing all the episodes unlocks a daily dungeon you can do 10x a day with monsters scaling to your level, making it another option to add in your routine. If music is your forte, there are two musical themed damage skins you can obtain for your character.
My only one minor gripe are the school uniform covers. You can only use them on overall armors, meaning you can say Au Revoir to wearing one with a CRA set. (See Hawkeye? THAT is how you speak the language of love properly!)
and 1 other.
