I somehow spotted this mini-banner which appears randomly around AsiasoftSEA Forums. Anyway, it will be released in early June 2009 based on v0.72 patch info.
Speaking about v0.72 Patch Info, it is serious Wall of Text!!!
Summary of release: - Launch of Episode 2: 2x EXP on Fridays, Saturdays, Sunday (22 May - 28 June) - Timeless Temple (including Pink Bean) - Family System - Elin Forest (including PQ) - Mu Lung Training Centre - Maker Skill - Monster Book - Title System - New EXP Table - Pre-KoC - 4th Anniversary Event
Regarding the New EXP Table, the Patch Note in both languages say the different thing. English version: With the new EXP table implemented, you can now level up more easily with about 70% to 80% of the effort you used to put it. Chinese version: 这个长达一个月的活动能让你更轻松地升级 。你现在只需要放入之前80%左右的心思就能升级了。 [You can level up more easily with about 80% of the effort you used to put it during this 1-month long event.]
And the FAQ, both languages say the same thing. English version: Q8: Will it be easier to level up in MapleSEA Episode 2? A: Yes! In fact, the EXP table has been revised. It has been calculated that there will be a 16.67% decrease of total EXP required to reach level 200.
Chinese version: 问题8：玩枫险之旅篇章二会时，会比较容易升级吗？ 回答：那当然！事实上，枫险之旅篇章二的经验表已被修订。有数据显示，在枫险之旅篇章二中所需要抵达等级200的经验值有16.67%的下降。
Let say it is permanent, my initial target to hit Level 200 will not be: - 31 August 2009 - 06 August 2009
Most likely, it will be around June/July. Hoping for 28 June 2009, to be further confirmed. =P
