maplestoryursus2

To see MapleStory's Reboot trilogy off in style, Nexon have added a new raid boss to the game. A gargantuan bear named Ursus has begun terrorizing the world of MapleStory. Up to 18 players can take the boss on. Successful parties will be rewarded with large amounts of cash and items that can be traded for other rare items.

There are a few stipulations. Each player can only enter the raid a maximum of three times per day. Each player can only use 20 potions. The group as a whole can only use 80 revives. Each player is awarded points based on damage dealt, healing provided, and the amount of time they spend alive.

A number of new events were also added in this patch. You can find the full patch notes here.
