I did the math on Frenzy totem and it's a 1/26,455 chance. Can we have a discussion about how ridiculous this is at basically $5.00 per try? You would have to spend over $10,000.00 USD to obtain one.

Er, no? Frenzy has a 0.02% chance. 2/10000, or 1/5000 odds simplified.

Where are you getting 26,455 from?

I'm not even sure who the Maple Goddess is. The lore about gods seems very confused.

The Goddess (AKA "Spirit") of Maple World is Sugar. She's the one you summon when you cast the skill Maple Warrior, and the one you speak to for the 5th job advancement. Her counterparts are Grandis (left) and Tynerum (right). They're spirits of the world, so they embody the world itself. These are the statues in the Alliance Outpost.

They're separate from the Transcendents who maintain balance in each world by holding the powers of Life, Light, and Time. Transcendents can be gods (Rhinne, Alpha and Beta, Aeona), but are not necessarily gods (Alicia, White Mage, Darmoor).

There are also several minor gods and goddesses (God of the Mountains, Minerva, the Great Spirit, etc). Those gods typically play a part in individual storylines (Korean Folk Town, Remnant of the Goddess, Mercedes' storyline, etc), not the main storyline.

Maplestory often uses the Greek alphabet phonetically in place of "magic-looking" runes. Every sign in Orbis is similarly spelled with Greek (for example, the platform signs say "ΠΛΑΤΦΟΡΜ": Pi, Lambda, Alpha, Tau, Phi, Omicron, Rho, Mu, I.E. "platform").

But as far as the ring saying anything, it doesn't look likely. One part of the ring looks to say "Ηλαρψ νδ"->Eta, Lambda, Alpha, Rho, Psi, Nu, Delta->"Hlarps nd"

The Fafnir set obtained from the Tera Burning event expires after 30 days. The items are epic-tier and are already enhanced to 12 stars.

This is how it was in KMS as well.

Some players have speculated that Tara Strong voices Beta in Zero's storyline.

In some of the Maplestory animated shorts, Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt are featured, and Bruno Oliver voiced the Black Mage in the New Leaf Saga shorts. You can find a list of those actors and actresses here:

Brian Schmoyer, having animated, written, and directed the shorts also voiced a number of characters, however I do know that Schmoyer went through some problems and blames video games for said experiences, so I wouldn't put too much faith in him voicing any modern characters.

And there's an incomplete listing of Maplestory 2's cast here:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9119116/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
There may be crossover between the two titles, as the pool of professional voice actors is actually rather small.

But as far as I know there hasn't been an official cast list compiled. IMDB does not have a page for Maplestory, and as you might have noticed above, their articles are rather incomplete to begin with.
