Lol, yeah first I'd like to apologize for the wrong information in my last post, stating that Monday would be the day the Chaos patch would be released. How silly of me XP. But never mind, honest mistake. People make mistakes all the time >-> .
Ok moving on, right now I'm downloading the patcher for Maple and honestly, I don't feel that excited :\ Though the events on the website are really, really interesting, compared to when Big Bang was released. So yeah, I'll just name a few while my slow internet is still downloading.

And by the way.... the screeshot bug is back again, so you guys will just have to bear with half-decent images....
The Leftover Mastery Book quest has been expired. Don't ask what that is, I don't have any ideas either. Woke up from the dream with a tattoo on my hand.

I'm sorry if it seems that all I'm doing is copying and pasting whatever was posted on the website. I've been .... uh... "sick" for the past few weeks and haven't really found any cure for it. So yeah, I'm not well enough to comment on most of the stuff being held during Chaos. If I'm lucky, I'll be well before Halloween is over. So yeah, the best I can do now is share my thoughts and views about Chaos.
So yeah, the Chaos patch was only delayed one time, which is not that bad compared to the Big Bang patch. But people were already spamming MaplestorySEA's facebook page with rude and obscene comments. What. The. Hell. Chaos must be fun xP. Though my friend was spamming like a mad man..... But never mind, he does so at school anyway when he's desperate for something. The events are actually a really good thing during such boring times in Maple. So might as well do the quests and all that crap before the events finish and it's back to slacking and doing nothing but stalking others. Or just training. I myself am rarely online, due to this fact, and therefore have less idea about whatever is going on. Good news is, my grades got better, I started saving more money, and my social life improved xD. Bad news is, nostalgia ;-; . Which makes me pop in once in a while to check stuff out. But when I log in my Buddy list would spam BUUUUURGGEERRRRRR. ._. Seriously guys, there is really no need to spam >_>
So yeah, that's probably all. I will post more stuff when I'm well, though this might take a while.
