Trivia

  • Server Naming Difference
    • GMS: Stargazer
    • MSEA/TMS/JMS: NEXT
    • CMS: 下一站 (Next Stop; Xiàyízhàn)
  • In KoreaMS, this is the update that includes the last part of the conversion of Reboot Worlds into Regular Worlds. All updates from this point will no longer have any Reboot Worlds.
  • In KoreaMS, the theme songs of this update are NEXT ONE and NEXT TO, and the singer is Ha Hyun-woo (KR: 하현우).
    • The instrumental version of NEXT ONE was temporarily used as the Login BGM in the first part of the update.
  • In KoreaMS, to further alleviate increasing population pressure in Continental Grandis maps, the maximum number of players that can share an instanced map is temporarily increased to 4 players.
    • This was initially introduced during the second part of the New Age Update with a cap of 2 players sharing each map, and has remained as such until in between of the third and fourth parts of this update.[20]
    • This change was also implemented in MapleSEA in the third part of the update, and in GlobalMS in the Carcion Octo Fest Update.
  • In GlobalMS, the Login BGM was temporarily changed to the Stargazer theme in this update.
  • A number of regional differences came across with this update:
    • In Non-KoreaMS servers, the following differences apply:
      • Quality of life improvement changes introduced in the first 3 parts of the update were consolidated and rolled out in the first part of the update.
      • The following features were not implemented in this update:
        • Maple Home system, due to an already existing Home system introduced before this update.
        • Maple Hands+ Auction House feature, due to the app only available for KoreaMS.
    • In some Non-KoreaMS servers, parts of this update were added in the previous Milestone / Chaser Update:
      • In TaiwanMS and JapanMS, the conversion of Reboot Worlds into Regular Worlds was completed during the third part of the Chaser Update.
      • In ChinaMS and TaiwanMS, Hyper Burning MAX event was rolled out in the first part of the Chaser Update.
    • In MapleSEA and GlobalMS, the 3rd and 4th mastery nodes were delayed to the second part of the update. In JapanMS, these nodes were released a few weeks after the first part of the update.
    • In GlobalMS, Star Force Reorganization was delayed to the Every Little Thing, Every Precious Thing Update due to changes in obtaining and restoring equipment introduced during that update.
