Beta with the GMs Announcement

**May 11, 2018  Events**

UPDATE: The Monster Invasion Event will not reward GM buffs to those that slay the monster. We apologize for the confusion, and hope you still enjoy the challenging battles.

The weekend approaches and the GMs are coming out to play in the Closed Beta!

**Monster Invasion Event**

**Event Duration:** Saturday, May 12th and Monday, May 14th at specific times

The GMs saw you having so much fun ridding Maple World of lesser monsters... they decided to put a little more on your plate. On Saturday and Monday, head to Henesys or Ellinia to take on the GM-spawned Mysterious Griffina, Suspicious Toh and Googoo or Mysterious Heartless Baphomet!

* Head to Henesys or Ellinia at the noted times to battle against the GM's chosen champion, carrying special loot such as Emotes, Dances, Onyx Crystals and more!

**Play with the GMs Event**

**Event Duration:** Saturday, May 12th - Tuesday, May 15th at specific times

Our GMs remain industrious behind the scenes, but every so often they want to step out from the shadows and have some fun! Over the next four days, the MapleStory 2 GM staff will be hopping in-game and running Dungeons and Raids with players through the Find Party system!

* GMs will hop in-game for an hour to complete Dungeons and Raids through the Find Party menu.
* The GMs will announce in-game when they start playing via World Chat. Just use the Find Party menu to try to join up with them!
* GMs will be wearing special Wings, as seen above, so keep a lookout for them!
