MapleStory Europe Announces Fireworks Festival Events

-As part of its continuing series of special events based on major European cultural festivals, MapleStory has announced a fireworks festival for the game in that region based on England's Guy Fawkes celebrations. The in-game events are set to run from November 15th to 29th.

To take part in the free-to-participate event, players must first join together with friends to form a party, before hunting down seven secret letters hidden across the special Guy Fawkes map. Once these have been collected, players must work together to defeat a special MapleStory Europe version of the infamous Guy Fawkes himself, earning special in-game items and prizes.

MapleStory Europe’s cash shop is also offering a Guy Fawkes-inspired mask, special accessories that set off fireworks around the character avatars, and England flag face paint as character decor.

International business development director for Nexon Europe Calvin Yoo said, "Fireworks night is a fantastic time of year and now people can enjoy all the fun of Guy Fawkes for a few weeks more courtesy of MapleStory Europe. As with every special event in MapleStory Europe, we’ve worked hard to ensure that the unique spirit of Guy Fawkes night is truly captured for everybody to enjoy. Maplers will love it; just don’t forget to bring your sparklers!”
