MMORPG News - Maple Story European Summer Events

Nexon Europe has announced a schedule of summer events for players of MapleStory.

Thursday 2nd August/... NEXON, the world-leading developer and publisher of online games, is pleased to announce a busy schedule of Summer special events for its hugely popular and free to play massively multiplayer online role-playing game, MapleStory.

Following the unprecedented success of MapleStory Europe’s recent French Revolution event, in which players fought a demonic Bastille wall to win a magical tricolour hat, NEXON Europe is stepping up its schedule of special events, with yet more culturally-themed promotions throughout August and beyond.

Planned festivities will kick off with an event based on Spain’s famed La Tomatina celebration. The event, which is set to take place for two weeks from August 16th, will pay homage to the manic and world-famous tomato-fight that occurs every year in the Spanish town of Buñol, Valencia. In MapleStory Europe’s La Tomatina event, players will, among other tasks, have to band together to save themselves from the fearsome onslaught of a powerful tomato-shaped monster!

All players need to do to take part is speak to the relevant in-game NPC to start the event. Details on where and when these characters can be found, along with other surprise events, will be revealed on the MapleStory Europe homepage, www.mapleeurope.com, over the coming weeks. Further MapleStory Europe-specific events currently planned include exciting takes on both Germany’s traditional Oktoberfest beer festival and the British celebration of Guy Fawkes Day.
