And oh, I'm just gonna give my comments, do read the actual events notes here.

Hmm a long list of stuff but… let's see how useful they actually are...
1. [System Event] Mu Lung Dojo Revamp (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 13/03/13, 0859hrs (GMT +8))
Hmm… I don't go mu lung dojo much so… doesn’t really affect me. Those high damage ppl will be glad to know that the  duration for Hero’s Gloves, Mu Gong’s Gloves, and So Gong’s Gloves have been increased from 1 to 7 days… the gloves will no longer work in the dojo itself though. So… use it elsewhere, but not in the dojo. The say the dojo rewards have been massively revamped… i wonder how massive is it… o.o. Belts last for 15 days instead of 7 days now… and the mobs in the dojo will drop scrolls to use no the belts. For me its still useless anyway. Timed item = useless :X
The revamp is permanent, but the event - all belts being epic on reveal, will only last till 13th of march.

2. [System Event] Golden Temple Reconstruction (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 13/03/13, 0859hrs (GMT +8))

Good news for everybody! The Golden Temple have been converted to a Theme Dungeon!
You have to be at least level 130 and have accepted or completed the “Noi More Tourist” quest from the Maple Mailbox before the Golden Temple icon will appear in the Mirror of Dimension

Interesting… i can bring my lvl 130 chars to go explore… like my CS and the merc who just hit 130 yesterday… and maybe my DS who's 129 now.  New theme dungeon but is temporary de? Weird sia… The rewards like not bad though. Medal with 5 to all stats, 1wa/ma - so so. Lvl 70 helm with 12 to all stats - like, whatever. But a ravana mask (eye acc) with 3 to all stats and 3wa/ma… Now we're talking. That's better than… having no eye acc at all. Lol. For all my new 4th jobbers whom i've been too lazy to train and thus don't have kenta's googles/any eye acc… yup this is good.

3. [System Event] Daily Gear Giftaway (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 31/01/13, 2359hrs (GMT +8))

Gaga is feeling generous in 2013 and have decided to give everyone free Cash Items!
Note:
1)The giftaway includes decorative items, effects and Nametag rings.
2)All items have a duration of 7 days

Eh so… look nice for  days… like, whatever.

4. [System Event] New Year’s Gift Boxes (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 31/01/13, 2359hrs (GMT +8))

Gaga is not the only one feeling generous this 2013! Even the monsters of Maple World are feeling generous too!
You will find monsters in most towns with a “Click” placards.
Click on the monsters and they will drop a New Year’s Gift Box.
The New Year’s Gift Box contains restorative items and trait EXP items, Secret Recipes, and a buff.
Note:
1)The boxes are given on a first come, first served basis.
2)You are only able to open 20 boxes per day.
3)The boxes can only be opened during the event period.

Eh… Want give then just give the box lah. Why make ppl have to camp in towns and snatch to click the mobs to get the box… Unless the spawn rate of the mobs are really good… otherwise a bit zzzz sia.

5. [System Event] New Mapler Welcome Event (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 06/02/13, 0859hrs (GMT +8))

Besides having events for existing Maplers, we will also be having an event to welcome new Maplers!
During the event period, new accounts created will be given the following items are level 10 and level 30.
Note:
1)The prize will be directly credited into your Cash Shop inventory if you are eligible.
2)Each account is limited to one level 10 prize and one level 30 prize.

Not a new mapler, and not gonna make a new AS passport either so doesn’t affect me. The prizes aren't that exciting either. At lvl 10 you get a 7 day mount coupon and a time limited hyper teleport rock. At lvl 30 you get a Monkey pet. K lay, monkey can help u pick up mesos for a while…

6.[System Event] Back to old School Maple (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 06/02/13, 0859hrs (GMT +8))

Oh no! An earthquake cause the Mirror of Dimension to teleport people into wrong maps! Cassandra needs your help to find out whats wrong with it and to fix it.
By using the Mirror of Dimension, you will be able to enter the Crack in the Dimensional Mirror
Entering the Crack in the Dimensional Mirror will bring you to Maple World in the past.
By helping the citizens of the past Maple World, you will be able to obtain Old Maple Coins.
By collecting coins and going to Inkwell, you will be able to exchange the coins for various Maple Items.

No idea how easy it is to ge thte coins, and what's in inkwell's shop so… can't say much.
7. [System Event] Dual Blades Rebirth (Event Date: 16/01/13, 0900hrs – 06/02/13, 0859hrs (GMT +8))
Same old stuff… free eqs at every X lvls, a DB ring that's slightly better than lirin's ring with 4 to all stats instead of 3… BUT this thing can't be freely transferred within the accounts so… that makes it really useless. Can use the sharing tag lah but??? Waste cash just for that ring? Not worth it leh.  You'll also get special mastery books when reaching various lvls… maybe i shd train my guy to 120 to get thorns and blade fury 30… but then I'm so lazy. Also, if you have old db Sbs, talk to the maple admin to exchange them to new DB SBs.

8. [Download] v1.27 Game Client Update
nothing, just the usual down stuff.

K that's all! Hmm maybe i'll check out the golden temple… and DB revamp… means i have to reallocate my DB skills again. haiz so mafan f3.
