What are patches in Maple story?

Question

I know, its in the HELP in maplestory, but, I still dont get it! XD Someone help me here?

Answer 1

Patching is when nexon takes (FOREVER!! OMG AT THE EXTENSIONS ESPICALLY FOR THE BIG PATCHES) to like fix up bugs and add a couple of new items onto the game at which you can't play

after a patch is done, the game will automatically patch it self so all you have to do is wait

though if it's right after a patch either you should have a really quick internet browser or be like the first one to do the patching, otherwised it'll take like forever just to patch because everyone is doing it at the same time

Answer 2

When you first download Maple Story, you don't have to worry about patches, just play. Then, whenever Nexon comes out with some new events, maps, monsters...etc., they need to add that to the game that's currently on the computer. Basically, it's an annoying wait for something new on Maple Story.
