[Update] Root Abyss Patch Notes



Dear Maplers,

image


A dark abyss deep within Maple World has been discovered!

During the attack on Ereve, Damien, Demon’s brother who was thought to have been slain by the Black Mage, made his appearance and killed Shinsoo in an attempt to cripple the Cygnus Knights. As Empress Cygnus and her loyal Knights mourn the loss of their Divine Bird, Damien took this opportunity to flee to the Maple World.

But of course, the Maple Forces were quickly alerted and then dispatched to seek out Damien.

However…

While tracking Damien down, the Maple Forces stumbled upon a never seen before region in the depths of Sleepywood. A hidden ruin lies beneath the Maple World, untouched by time.

Immediately, scouts were sent to explore the area and report on their findings, but many did not made it back. Those who did however, seemed to be dreaded in fear, repeatedly mentioning things such as: “Mysterious Girl” and “Root Abyss”. It was then agreed upon by the Maple Forces leaders that this new region will be named Root Abyss, a name befitting the nature of its environment.

Maplers, your help is once again required…
