Quest of the Cow King. A graduate student's blog about his ongoing research on MapleStory culture. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. A little late notice. but I am proud to say that I finally reached WKhood! I blazed through my 60s at an incredible speed thanks to the 2x EXP 2nd Anniversary Events. The grind at FoG was, without doubt, one of my most memorable experiences in MapleStory. As for me, level 70 came about a week later - and, quite to my surprise, it was a big event! I look forward to seeing what new exp...
