Alternatively, preference could mean more sorting options. What stats they provide, what "type" of medal they are, where they're earned, etc.
If Nexon could give us some sort of better sort for these and make opening that UI stop freezing the game, that'd be nice.

I feel like implementing more sorting options would cause the UI to freeze even more....

Very summarized-
Storywise (more or less chronologically):
1. Cygnus Knights joined shortly after Pirates release.
2. Six heroes who were trapped by the Black Mage awoke from their curse and with them came another boss, Damien.
3. New "region" called Edelstein was discovered along with the Resistance jobs (basically a new job for each of the five classes), along with new boss called Lotus.
4. Victoria Island (original five classes), Cygnus Knights, and the Resistance band together to form the Maple Alliance.
5. Grandis, the area Magnus is from got two "champions" (?), Kaiser and Angelic Buster
6. The warriors from Sengoku (Japanese Maplestory [I think?]), Hayato and Kanna, got teleported to Maple world by Nobunaga.
7. New area, Arcane River (lvl 200+ area) , is discovered and the Maple Alliance follows the river, defeating the Black Mage's commanders, Lucid and Will.
8. More jobs from Grandis, Cadena and Illium.
9. End of the Arcane River leads to Tenebris, where the Black Mage is hatching his plot.
10. Maple Alliance defeats the Black Mage.
11. Maple World is recovering from the fight with the Black Mage.
12. Aftermath of the fight causes Maple World and Grandis to merge into the same universe.
13. Maple Alliance is helping Grandis with their "big baddy", Gerand Darmoor. (present day)

Gameplay wise (more or less semi-importance):
1. Much much easier to level up.
2. Level cap is 275.
3. Ability points system changed from primary + secondary stat to just primary stat system.
4. Gear is much easier to get, both common gear and boss gear.
5. Scrolling is now done with Spell Traces (basically common drop item you can get that let's you get decent scrolls.)
6. Starforce is done through mesoes and event scrolls primarily.
7. Gears now have potential and bonus stats that give extra boosts
8. Free Market closed and Auction House replaced it.
9. Monster Collection and Legion which allow you to get rewards even when you're not actively playing.
10. A whole bunch of the worlds/servers got merged together. (I guess this should should have kind of been at the top, xd.)

Probably left out a lot of important stuff here and there, but think I covered a good part of it. But like Aggraphine said, it's almost like a whole new game (hence there's still group of players here and there that aren't happy with what Maplestory is now since it's changed so much). But the game does an okay job of guiding you through everything. If you're interested, feel free to join my guild in Scania and we can help you if you need advice.

u see? that exacly what i said, u cant refresh the achievements anytime u want, it only on specific times, now u got it?

Yes, I "got it", hence why I editted my original reply with "Nvm, I see that the button is unclickable currently."

Maybe try logging onto another character (if you have alts/mules) that you haven't logged onto in a long time and see if it lets you. I know that I if I don't log onto some of my mules in a couple patches, they usually have the update achievement available.

Jw, what do you mean by "i cant refresh the achievement tab cuz it not let me and it on specific times that it allow u to refresh"? Can't you just click the arrow circle on the main Achievement tab at any time? Is the button unclickable or do you get like an error message?

EDIT: Nvm, I see that the button is unclickable currently.

5th tick mark where it starts with "24-hour". Whether or it's still relevant.
