We got a super fun session today with some legendary Maple Story OGs joining us from Japan and Korea.
Whether you're grinding back in the day or just joined during the playtests, you're in for the nostalgia right over here.
We got some killer lineup today.
And we have Shiro'san, Honey and Shiro from Japan,
and Jess, Mango, Coding, and Q's from Lime Light Guild.
And our awesome team members, Keith and Dominic, here.
To kick things off, let's go around with quick intros.
Tell us, but instead of using the usual boring stuff,
tell us, when did you first start playing Maple Story,
and what pulled you into the game?
Let us start with Honey Sound.
Yes, I had a problem so I just...
I'm so sorry, I didn't hear anything.
Yeah, yeah, your introduction and what is your history with Maple Story?
When did you start? What did you like about it?
Yes, and my name is Honey from Japan, and I was play Maple Story a long time ago,
and then come to Web3 and I started again and played a lot, but last time,
playing is like my level around 180 or something.
So this time we will challenge the very, very difficult boss.
And it is my first time to try.
So my today's goal is to survive.
No worries. I'm sure you can do it all right.
Dominic, can you help asking him the question?
I think you're on a minute, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the universe of the other, uh,
can you give us the translation?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been playing Maple Story since like six to seven years ago.
And he also played our Maple Story End.
His levels like 200 and he really, really enjoyed it.
Wait, I think you are rocked when you were mentioning the level.
Like, why was his level again?
Okay, I've already seen some of the airshadow of like he's quite lagging.
Imagine like later when we go to defeat the boss monsters, he's going to so, you know, death count out.
Uh-oh, we got a problem there.
Thank you for sharing your stories.
Let's go on to members from the Limelight Guild.
Would you be able to share a little bit of information about how did you start Maple Story?
What do you like about it?
Wow, I got my chance, my introducing chance.
Hello guys, good to see you every J. Mapleers.
Thank you for coming. Thank you for inviting me.
Yeah, we are really, I'm, yeah, this is coding and founder of Limelight.
And yeah, we are really fascinated in Maple Story and
and Maple Story Universe ecosystem.
So yeah, our, in, yeah, you know what I say.
When did you start playing Maple Story?
When did you start playing Maple Story?
When did you start playing Maple Story?
When you first did you, I...
Oh, yeah, I graduated, I grew up with Maple Story.
So, I really started at 20 years.
2003 when Maple Street, yeah, KMS...
Yeah, they released and my age was
elementary school third class, so yeah,
I started, I create character as a magician,
and I click my status strong.
So I ruined my first character.
So yeah, that was my memory about Maple Story.
All right, let's go on to Mango.
Can you do a short introduction and when did you start playing Maple Story?
I'm sorry, I can't speak English.
You can just tell me in Korean and I can help you translate.
I can't help you translate.
not from the sub-of-the-booked
I'm trying to try and now,
Mango just said he has been playing Maple Street for the last six plus years.
He has been playing very consistently throughout the years,
but he didn't manage to defeat all the top ranking bosses in the Korean servers.
But since Maple Street Universe is launching, he'll be playing regularly in Maple Street Universe.
That's the reason why he joined the Limelight Guild.
Little bit of information here.
Lymelight Guild was the number one guild in our playtests,
which is one of the reason why we invited them here.
So super happy and honored to have everyone here.
Can you give us a quick introduction and your history with Maple Story?
Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but I think it was when I was in
elementary school. I don't know if it's just me, but with Maple Story, I would play for a while,
then take a break for a few years and come back to it again. So, um, just like all of us.
Yeah. Yeah. Just like all of us. We share the same childhood peeps. Cool stuff, cool stuff.
Fun, fun. Let's go over to Gus. Hello.
Yeah, the question is what?
Uh, Mayfield, when's from?
What's, I asked about what?
I'm, the first first time
first test at the first test at
That's before you've never played
I've, I've, but, yeah, but,
like when it was released
but he doesn't really have
you know he doesn't really recall playing it
because it's so long time ago
you know he have only recently picked it up
during our second beta test and you know like he's
Really, really like one of the top rankers in Limelight Guild and entire Maple Street and test phase.
You must have been spending a lot of time like this.
Yeah, I would usually expect most of people who have played in playtests must have some experience regarding Maple Story.
So that's kind of like a rare case.
But yeah, anyhow, we're all good Maple Story gamers here.
And today we're doing boss raids, which I think it's something that everyone, it's like a major theme in the game as well for us to get.
the rarest items that are the most valuable in the game.
So I'll let Keyes to take over on which boss that we are going to go raid for the first time.
Yeah. Did you realize Dominic has been rocked away?
Oh. Yeah, he rocks already.
He's so gone. He's so gone.
But, okay, anyways, we can go.
I mean, it's kind of sad to see him go, but let's see what we can do.
Alright, so we have number of boss monsters that we want to try, and ultimately, we would like to try defeat Lotus today, or Sue, or today.
But before we jump into the very main contents, let's try to warm up, right, and see our controls with which bush should be nice? Should we try?
Cow's zakum or cow's bellum?
What do you think would be nice?
Let me know, guys. What do you think?
Can someone create a party? Okay, let me create a party.
And then, guys, don't move, okay?
Shiro's also invite to party.
Thank you. Invite to party. Invite to party.
Hey, where's Donny Kamp? And where's the rest of us?
Wait. Kuzsan invite to party.
Okay. Who else? Who else?
Web 3, Honey, Son, invite to party.
Hey, Honey, you're already in a party. Can you leave the party?
Oh, somebody's died already.
Okay, I'm going to remain on that, okay?
But I mean, this is so easy, guys.
I think we should try something hard.
Is Zachoon considered a very strong boss in Maple Street, Keith?
Why don't you give us a little bit more?
It's the conventional Maple Street?
And now you cannot attack it because it's returning.
Okay, now it's sold that, Zachom's over.
Guys, that was really fast.
Okay, that was easy, guys.
Shall we go somewhere harder?
Ooh, this is my first time.
We can't just go to the practice. Why don't you mirror your screen?
Bellum, it can't see a lot of things that you shouldn't see.
We cannot go to Bellum. I don't know why.
You can open the contents guide and then go to the boss content.
and choose cows bellu and move to boss.
Yes, doesn't work for us.
I think Donnick is back in.
Let's go to Count Populatus instead.
Everyone's in the Boz Arena.
Is it too late to include Dominic?
Actually, I will leave the party and invite Dominic.
Dominic, come to Caus Papalatus.
Chaos, it's really difficult
No, no, come to Papalatus.
Okay, if you're not coming in like 30 seconds, I'll be joining in.
I'll just pat-up to you when we do the Lotus.
I want to see Dominic do Lotus.
Who wants to see Dominic do Lotus?
Okay, Dom, I'll just go ahead and clear the pack of lettuce with the peeps.
I'll see you in the entrance to Lotus.
He's going to have damage here now.
This, this is a super-se that's a lot of
Sook-siae, so that's all,
He's gothsha-h-h-h-h-hurt.
Now, now, I'm good, it's right.
I only have three, that's count, look.
so should be careful, guys.
Okay, I'm so safe dead. I cannot die anymore.
No way, it's a safe. Safe time.
Okay, we have to clear that 100% okay, nice.
Okay, just eat the timer. I'll just, you know, spam it here.
Okay, two more time, one more time.
Two hours, just two hours.
Two hours, two hours, where?
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Come, come, come, come, come, oh, no, no, it, d-da-da-da-da-da-oh.
Me and Shiro are only one.
How much time that Papuatu is at?
It's easy. It's still doable.
Okay, I'm going to block the red razor.
Yay, we can clear it under five minutes, not bad.
We're not going to survive.
The lotus is going to be free.
Hey, Dominic, where are you?
Can you come to the lotus?
Okay, Jess's not, no, no, why am I?
Yes, I'll give you the party boss?
Can you, and I'm going to leave the party.
When Dominic comes, can you just invite Dominic into the party?
Why can't you go to the Lotus?
Are you in Hennesses right now?
No, no, no, I mean, what is it?
Ludibrim, the clock power.
I'm trying to follow you guys.
I'm right next to the chief stunt.
And type MSU next space in all caps.
And then choose the class that you want.
I think it should work for you. Can you open the...
...content guide or the boss and choose soon and enjoying the map.
Did he go here? Did he safely get there?
Come on, can I, can you share your screen in the, in the Spaniard?
So I can click on present and choose a client.
That, that, that's, that way,
I just know, just to see.
Yes, Lois, let's go. Click on Go.
Oh, you have to leave the map first.
You have to leave this map.
Oh no, you shouldn't be using that admin command on screen.
But anyways, I'll remove you from the screen.
Can you invite Dominique to the party?
You're here already in party?
Let's get it. I'm so excited.
I have to leave my party.
Yeah, you have to first leave the party and then join the new party.
So I'll be sitting here, listening to some good music, and watch you guys defeat Lotus.
The first stage is horrible.
The first stage is the hardest stage, okay?
Yep, all the best. Best of love.
By the way, 2,000 people are watching this stream.
That's a lot of people watching.
Let's go. All the best, break your leg!
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo.
She don't sound his thing very well.
Be careful. Be careful. It's getting faster and faster.
Coding, it's like, shaking you.
Almost done! The first phase is almost clear.
Yeah, just a little bit more.
Oh my god, Dominic's so gone.
You should have, like, you know, not revived actually.
And like span in death status as long as possible.
Okay, okay. Easy now. The second phase is like the easiest phase.
Well, you're doing great!
It was doing much better, yeah.
Flo is lava! Get off, get off, get off!
Okay, Shiro has two death count left, honey, three.
Wow, limelight built really strong.
Wow, limelight, they never died.
Floor, be careful floor, Shiro's hand!
Okay, we'll five of them survive this match.
It's so easy for everyone.
Yeah, the second phase is about 40% down.
Okay, the floor is falling. Be careful.
Okay, get up, get up, get up, get up.
Everyone's doing so well.
Yeah, they're getting the shots of it. Cool.
Playing Maple Story for like a lot of $1,000.
Okay, okay, focus, focus. Almost done.
A little bit, a little bit more.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, no.
I know, like these guys, when we do actual lunch?
It will be the first party to clear everything.
Be careful of the train that falls on top of your head.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh my god, light has never died so far.
Oh, be careful, this is dangerous.
Holly's, you're like flying up and down.
Let's spot one person that's slacking.
What are you doing, Kukkissu?
Kikzli is like, okay, okay, he's now playing.
Okay, first casualty, Jeff from life-time.
Careful, careful, careful.
There's only one discount left for Shiro.
Okay, honey, a little bit more.
Okay, Hormin, you're doing so well.
We're like halfway to go.
Wow, this is really difficult.
Lottis is the hardest boss for the most of the best.
How is gonna stay like that?
Oh, oh, there's only one.
He skipped all the electricity pattern on the floor.
You're almost there! You cannot try here!
Guys, you're molded halfway.
Okay, we're like 60% down. Almost there.
Wow, Jeff, Mango and could still have loads of death counts.
Yep. Give me a death count.
Honey-style focus on surviving okay?
Let's finish this together.
Get up, get up on the floor.
I don't know what happened.
It's okay, you did your best.
Hey Honey-san, I'll give you the opportunity to choose, okay?
Would you like to start over and try again with Dominic and everybody again?
Sero, Honey, Son, Dominic,
should he give a second chance?
But just want to see everything first.
Guys, let's try to do it again.
Our objective would be to survive
Like six of you clearing together.
Dominique, you better to dwell
and there's heavy loads on your shoulder.
but this is the other people
just let's just give another try.
If it doesn't work, too bad,
You guys are doing so well.
Still up till you're working.
And their death count is still high.
Why are you guys so good?
Did you guys literally spend all your time playing Maple Story?
Their nationality is like Hennessy.
Like, where are you from? I'm from Hennessus.
Hello global Maple Story friends.
Well, we are running Maple Street School.
So if you want to registry,
Wow, how did you guys do?
Should we try Damien first and then you try
Okay, let's go to Damien.
Damien is not easy, but should be easier because you have much more death count compared to Lotus.
Yep, it should be easier, I guess.
Lotus is the hardest part of it.
Okay, everyone's here. Let's get going.
All the viewers, you know, all these limelight guilds people, there were like number one, two, three in the second beta test and gear up period.
They are so good at this thing.
Amazing. They're still grinding.
It's not just about grinding, it's all that technique, the mechanics.
Be careful of that yellow flame that touches you to die.
Oh, somebody's died already.
...stead-da-da-da-da-da-da-l...
Okay, so far so good, about 10% down.
Now we have about 2,500 people watching.
Okay, no casualties, not bad.
Web 3 Honey is doing so well.
Oh, you make out of this.
How did you survive that?
Okay, be careful of the seal.
If you have seven seals, you will die.
Okay, someone has six seals.
You have to get rid of your seal.
Don't worry, we have a lot of death card.
Wait, wait, wait, okay, okay.
I don't know where she is.
I don't know where she is.
Oh, Shiro's on the other.
All right, make it out of this alive.
Dominic has four death card left.
Okay, first death from Jeff.
You still have nine death count left.
Okay, I'm going to try to switch the camera to...
Hey, Dominique is not sharing a screen.
You have four death count left.
Careful the floor is going to explode.
Hey, careful of your seal though.
Your seal's going to get you killed, Dominic.
Just wait, sit there's just sit there.
What I really want to see you guys clear?
You have one, two death count left.
Shiro and mommy, they're doing very well.
No, no, no, no, no, let's.
How is Jeth not dying after all that heats?
Wow. Dark side, ultimate dark.
The rest of you guys are standing strong.
All right. We're all good.
It's still quite long way.
Okay, I'm so glad I'm not playing this.
I'm probably maybe like having like three or four death count left.
No, it's not even, it's not able to.
How did Kuss, like, make out of it alive?
Don't, don't, don't, come.
About 60% to go. Be careful the floor.
Jeff, Mango, and Krista are so chill.
She don't still have to be working apart.
Honey, you're doing okay. You still have five left.
Yes, but a percent! I should survive.
Because it's down to six.
We can make it. We can make it.
Siro, after you clear, Damien, can you show us the...
That was the moment that everyone...
Yes, just a good strategy.
Perfect strategy, that's how you do.
Still has eight cut counts.
Wow, Jet is helping to move.
Jumping up and down, that's a strategy.
Jenssson is Hennesis-jinn, because...
Wow, this is a very long fight.
Yep, we are about like 47% down.
Well, we are waiting for everyone to kill the boss.
Why don't you share your bit of Maple Story, uh, history, Keith?
When did you start playing and like, how has it been?
I started playing back when I was like eight or nine years old, like back when I was in the primary school.
I mean, back then, I was in Korea.
Like everyone else in Korea back then, like we were all playing Maple Story.
Like it's kind of weird if you didn't play Maple Street.
So after school, we would rush to either PC Cafe or to our home to play Maple Story,
meet in, you know, Hennesses or Mid Harbor.
Okay, cool. You survived it. We're almost there.
Yep. And then I don't know, I couldn't just quit Maple Story. I didn't play throughout the last 20 years.
I was like on and off Maple Story. But like from 2020s onward, I was playing old.
No, the glass is still half full, like one third full, okay?
I don't like blue one, like hitting and a key.
All the time, I will death.
You have to like avoid it.
Yeah, actually from last time, like Maple Story controls are so important, both in game while you're just on the field or in the boss race.
Maple Story is so much of a skill-based game, man.
It's so hard to get good and control.
It's much more than the cute graphics.
It takes skill and practice, not only the grinding.
Honey, is it your first time playing Damien?
Just only like practice a little bit.
Right. You're doing so well.
Almost 60% down, 65% down.
Yeah. Especially for the boss race, you should be like used to the attack pattern.
So yeah, if you're not familiar with clearing it, you're so good for that.
Jeff is like on the front line alone. Look at Jeff.
Still has to meet Beth cows there.
It's like another conspiracy coming up.
Maybe, no. Just now he's spoken AI-generated voice, who know?
Yeah, everything's wrong now.
Hey, two death count left?
Jeff, do something about it, okay?
Okay, we are moving on to the next phase of Damia. Let's go!
What? They have next phase?
Oh my god, it's first time.
That means we have about 30% of the HP left.
Only 30% to go. We're doing so well.
Did you know, oh, careful, you can hit you die!
Do you know you can, like, you know, transfer the seal to other user?
Be careful, stay safe. We're almost there. 20 more percent to go.
Wow, Jess still has eight-death counts. Everyone's like four, three, two, one.
Jeff has the special skill.
That blue ball, if you attack Damien inside the blue ball,
you only deal like 10% of your actual damage.
So you have to avoid you.
Death? How are you not dying?
Okay, okay. It's yours fair. You should have died.
Yeah, yeah, it was this term, yeah.
Long waited for the time.
You know, just like, you know, Chinchukh Nojin?
Kornai-i-i-o-sus-sos-a-khani!
You guys are doing so well, incredibly well.
I really want to see you guys clear all together.
Focus on surviving, just like 15 more percent ago.
Mengel has just saved a lot of people.
...you're doing well. You're doing well.
...hion, like, I'm gonna.
...they, just 10 more percent.
Okay, Damien considers Kikus to be the most threatening opponent.
Careful, careful! Don't die!
Okay, Jess is there to protect. Amazing.
Okay, everyone has low number of death ones.
You did three well, you survived.
You guys still have six, four, two.
Okay, now my final wish is you guys defeat Damien with four of you.
And Shiro's will go like, that-da!
Siro's, yatt-a-h-h-h-kid-h-h-kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Don't deal the damage inside the blue ball.
That's still very strong.
Wow, death is like generals in the world battlefield.
I really wish Kusen Shiro's survive until the end.
Okay, Jeff is like grounded for now.
Okay, now, now he's back up.
Be careful guys, this is, this will be killing you in an instant.
There was 10 more percent!
Oh my God, Jess, that's like three left.
Okay, let's play just everyone.
Yep. Kisu is like two, okay.
Let's see, there are three balls that...
Wow, okay, you're binding.
Hit the Damien, hit the Damien.
Okay, it's time to deal some damage.
Really a little bit, right?
Almost there, like 98% down.
Okay, somebody has to like, you know, bring that blue ball away.
Okay, just like a few more percent left.
Okay, I think we're gonna make it.
Oh, Jeff is the most threatening enemy.
Yep, Jeff is pulling a lot of weight there.
Okay, Kisley is going to deal some damage. Nice.
Okay, oh, careful don't die.
Can Jeth do something about it?
Almost there, almost there.
Congrats! Amazing! Amazing!
Okay guys, when we actually do the launch very, very soon,
I want this party to come back and play together for a week.
Let's try to practice again, including Dominic also.
I promise, all the great.
Yeah, I mean, he's going to practice every day from now on.
I'm not sleeping from today.
Wow, it's like nightmare.
All right. I think we had, you know, very nice about one hour of streams already.
Let's try to practice some more.
And then, you know, come back with the next stream or when we do the actual launch, we're going to make, you know, this party come back.
And we are going to see everyone.
Shiro, you'll be playing only to do the launch, right? It should be really soon.
Can someone translate for me?
Like, Dominic, can you help me?
Like when we do the launch, which is going to be very, very soon.
Will Shiro and Honeysan play?
Let's do the party together again for Lotus and Damien.
then, then, we'll do this.
Level up and then you're doing.
Thank you so much for your life.
Thank you so much, very much, very much.
There was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
All right, next time hopefully we get stronger, we get better with the controls, and I also want to join this party.
Next time I'll be standing next to Dominican and, you know, coach him next to him.
Not that I'm good, but it's going to be fun.
All right, guys, thank you so much for tuning in.
I think we can call it a day for today.
Thank you, everyone for joining.
