It's been 2 months since I stopped playing Maple.
Just an update on what's happening...

MAPLESEA Blogger Forum Contest Round 1
http://maple.playpark.net/news_events/view/maplesea_blogger_forum_contest/

I've been selected as one of the lucky 5 to participate in the Evan Sneek Peak testing but due to tight schedule and unable to attend in person to KL for the testing in their office, I was put into the consolation prize list winner for this event.

Example
Example 1:

At this level, he already holds 1 winning chance.

Scenario A:
MaplePlayer01 reaches Level 25 when the Event ends on 2nd Feb 2010. He will have:
1 + 2 = 3 winning chances.

Scenario B:
MaplePlayer01 reaches Level 55 when the Event ends on 2nd Feb 2010. He will have:
1 + 2 + 3 = 6 winning chances.

Scenario C:
