Neospector

The Bright Angel and Dark Devil packages are permanent, as detailed in the cash shop update notice:
http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/34397/cash-shop-update-for-august-15

Typically, all cash items sold in packages are permanent.

I've noticed this happens in certain situations where the game is lagging. Relogging should fix the issue, at least on Mechanic.
Though I have never experienced the issue upon entering the cash shop so I personally cannot confirm that.

Hahaha, you see? this is the company that you're always protecting them as if you were their lawyer...
But remember, the more you protect them (and also if you're going to protect them now by telling me that I'm lying or whatever) it only proves how corrupt you are

You were already warned against starting conflicts with other users.
Stop attacking others over differing opinions.

Maplestory does provide a number of backgrounds. GMS backgrounds can be found by going to the main website, hovering over "The Game", and selecting "media":

KMS provides backgrounds as well:

Not sure if someone noticed but the star force system is not working.

The Star Force system was intentionally disabled. The system will be re-enabled in the upcoming maintenance, along compensation in the form of additional Sunny Sunday perks and a 2x EXP/Drop event.
