woot!
Do you have a complaint you want to submit?
Tired of waiting for Q-box to reply?
Here's the new and improved Asiasoft Passport Live Chat.
Quick, Reliable and Convenient.Last weekend i went to the GoMoblie '09 event.
Went there to buy some @cash and when i tried to top up the @cash card on the next day, it said that i had an Invalid Serial No. I scratched another @cash card and keyed in the Serial No. and the same error occured. Straight away, i went to AS Passport and tried this Live Chat thing on the right sidebar, with little hope that they would reply.In just a minute of waiting, someone came to the Live Chat and helped me out. Yann (the attending agent) explained what i should do. I found out that there was a misprinting on the card which confused the letter 'O' with the number '0'.
My problem was solved in under 5 minutes.
Hurrah for Asiasoft for improving their customer service.
So, if you have any enquiries, try Live Chat. :)
THANK YOU ALL
for the lovely wishes on my birthday.

Good Luckto those who are sitting for their PMR, SPM and Final Examinations for Malaysian students and good luck to Singaporean students as well.
So, what comes before Aran?
Neo Tokyo
of course.
Neo Tokyo is where MapleStory is set in the future and is supposed to be the last battle of MapleStory where we fight Robots and Machines.
However, it is not free to enter, apparently (MONEYSOFT :O) you'll need to collect:
300 Ninja Head Scrolls, 1 Samurai Armour Knight Piece, and 1 Mini Toad's Oil Disc (whatever that is. I'm assuming it drops from the Toad o.O)
OR
You pay @cash to enter Neo Tokyo. I'm not sure of the amount though.
There are Robots that look like tanks,
Robots that can fly,
And others.
In the Neo Tokyo expansion for JMS, the players get to forge these two items.
An Armor Piercinq Bullet,
Weapon Attack 22[To create: Nanoplant (Ω) + Saint's Stone + Vital Bullet + 2500 Silver Coins + 7,000,000 meso]
And a Demon Shuriken.
Weapon Attack 30[To Create: Nanoplant (Ω) + Sage's Stone + Ilbi + 2500 Silver Coins + 7,000,000 meso]
Neo Tokyo is suitable for levels 130~180 and there is no way you can go into solo unless you're super funded and you did a lot of HP washing or double washing.
So, Party up and lets go to the Future of Robots in MapleStory.

Rumour has it that the Aran class will be released in November.
As we can see over the years;
Nov 2007 - 4th Job Released
Nov 2008 - Pirate Job
Nov 2009 - Aran?
Eventhough it's been less than 3 months of its release in KoreaMS, will it come to MSEA so soon? Here are a few indicators or signs saying that it will.
MSEA posted up a poster/ pic of the Aran text on facebook lately. Very similar to the one in Korean;
Also, their profile picture on facebook is of the Aran;
Quoted from their facebook;
"MapleStorySEA: Our Twitter page has been given a new look once again! =) The cold winds of Aran are blowing and they're getting chillier and chillier..."
Need you more signs?
Yes, it is highly likely that Aran will be released in November. So stock up your polearms, stock up your scrolls, prepare for the new job. The Arans are coming.
If you dont know what Aran is, visit here.
PS: Neo Tokyo might also be out in the next patch. Robots anyone?

Horned Tail
Boss info: The Horntail fight occurs in three stages, though the third stage consists of many parts of its own. The first two stages are the preliminary heads, pretty easy honestly though stage two is irritating for warriors. The third part is the real thing, far far harder than the prelims. As this is a major boss the guide will be split into various segments, starting with pre-stage one.
The main body is comprised of several parts, which need to be defeated in a certain order. The first part is the legs, which have rather high touch damage (around 14,000) and two kinds of stomp. The first kind is a super knock back attack, the second type is a stun attack. They both deal the same damage. around 7700 unbuffed and 9800 buffed.
Second part is the tail, which has an absolutely insane touch damage (over 30,000 when buffed) it also has a poison gas attack, which honestly you can just ignore.
Third part is the wings, which summon cornians occasionally, but the main worry about this part is the attack buff it gives every other part. Once the wings die, its fairly smooth for the rest of the fight.
Third and Fourth parts are the left/right heads, completely identical to the preliminary heads, minus the super knockback.
Fifth part is the middle head, almost identical to the left and right ones except with more HP. It also casts full map dispel at 50% HP.
Sixth and Seventh parts are the left and right arms. These will cast status effects throughout the whole fight, but their more annoying trait is the mana burn skill. Which deals 1 damage, but burns around 2000 MP. They also cast mass seduce at 50% HP, which seduces the first 10 people to enter the cave.
And now the guide really begins!
Pre-Stage one.
(Mainly for the organisers.)
Before you even enter the cave, organise your party at the sign ups to enter in the following order.
Seduce Mule (Usually a shadower or warrior.)
Back up seduce mules (Shad/warriors)
Warriors
Mages (NOT Bishops)
Attacker classes
Bishops
For stage one and two, only the first person to enter matters. For stage three, make sure your parties enter in the order above.
Above order only applies to stage one, the seduce order for stage one remains constant throughout all three stages.
Okaaay, onto stage one!
Stage one.
Horntails Left Head: 330,000,000
Minimum HP: 5500.
Upon entry, DO NOT MOVE, wait until everyone has entered. The seduce mule will go right and hang on the rope. At this cue, Horntail will arise from its shiny blue cave. This stage is honestly a joke, just keep hitting ’til it dies. For more in-depth class specific tips, see the First Horntail Head guide.All this head will do is weapon/magic defence up, summon wyverns (infrequent) and do its super knockback breath attack. About the only thing to watch out for is the black wyverns which will cast dispel.
Stage two.
Horntails Right Head: 330,000,000
Minimum HP: 5500.
Basically identical to stage one, except the heads on the other side. This stage is more irritating for melee classes, especially warriors as the rush trick wont work here. The seduce mule should hang near the top of the rope closest to entry, you’ll likely fall off a couple of times though. Simply call out “sed” to inform your bishops when you are seduced. Isn’t a big worry at this stage though.
Pre-Stage three.
As stated before, make sure your party enters in the correct order. Upon entering the true horntail cave, you may notice a shiny purple crystal on the right. DONT touch it, after a few hits it will break, summoning horntail in all his fury. Prior to breaking the crystal, it’s safe to take a break here. Most parties will stop for 5-10 minutes before proceeding. Before summoning, the organiser will most likely have split the parties up. Ranged on right, melee on left.
Stage three. (1)
Horntails Legs: 130,000,000
Horntails Tail: 70,000,000
Minimum HP: 9800 (Melee) 7900 (Ranged)
This stage is split into melee and ranged parties.
Melee: You’ll be on the left with the seduce party, your role here is to attack the legs and simply, survive.
Ranged: You’ll be on the right under the falling rocks. DO NOT bump the tail, it will hit for an absurd amount of damage which no character in maple is likely to survive. Stay under the rocks and attack the tail, with apples and sharp eyes it should fall fairly quickly.
Seduce: Stay on the left side and hang on the rope, if you are on a rope when seduce you will not move anywhere. Bishops, follow the seduce into the body ONLY if the tail is dead.
Stage three. (2)
Horntails Wings: 270,000,000
Seduce: Move to the right side and hang on the rope there, extra seducers may attack the wings.
Everyone else: Stand on the platform and attack the wings basically, if you’ve used any hp gear to reach the minimum hp you may be able to replace it with stronger stuff now. (With the legs and tail gone, the strongest attacks Horntail has are removed.)
Stage three. (3)
Horntails Right Head: 330,000,000
Seduce: Move back to the left side and hang on the rope. Extra seducers now have the added role of clearing the wyverns that will spawn. Get comfy, you guys will be here until the last stage.
Everyone else: I’m sure you’ve got it worked out now, just bash the head ’til it dies. It’ll summon different colour wyverns based on its hp. Red means it’s around 75%, Blue 50% and Black 25-30%. As with all the other black wyverns, these can also dispel.
Stage three. (4)
Horntails Left Head: 330,000,000
Identical to the previous stage. Sure does take a while though…
Stage three. (5)
Horntails Middle Head: 490,000,000
Unlike this past two stages, this one is slightly different. Obviously is has another 160M HP, but at 50% HP, it also casts full map dispel, affecting everyone. Thankfully, this is infrequent. Aside from that, identical to the past two heads.
Stage three. (6)
Horntails Left Hand: 230,000,000
Horntails Right Hand: 230,000,000
Congratulations, if you’ve made it this far, you’ve got a 99.99% chance of making it to the end! Since the hands only have mana burn (which deals 1 damage) your only threat is the falling rocks + seduce. Whichever party has the organiser in it will probably kill one hand (either one) while everyone else kills the other. This is for 2x drop purposes only.
Remember when it dies, be nice and do what your organiser says. Horntail groups don’t take kindly to looters.
Cheers..poe.
