From what I can tell its supposed to affect the entire world of MapleStory which I interpret that as the entire landscape getting completely altered. The new page does look much better. I used to be pretty hard core about logging in and getting my gaming gold, now I'm lucky if I even feel like logging in. Playing the games for gold got to where it was just a chore and so I kind of grew tired of it. I guess the whole two hundred and fifty fgold max really didn't affect me as I thought I would back when I was really hard core about making that gold on this site.
Apparently leveling up is supposed to be much easier.

That kid has been giving me a lot of items. A lot of them are beyond level fifty so I haven't been able to use them much however, I am currently looking for three more diamond ores, so if you or any of your friends come across any, I would pay at least five thousand gold per ore. I finally gained level fifty-one today!! Which means no more monster carnival one. I tried twice and spent eighty maple coins to upgrade the speigel's necklace and it failed twice!!! I was furious!! I thought bleh.. what a waste of time and decided to just level up outside the carnval because you lose valuable chance to find new rare items if you do that. That kid was bragging about gaining level sixty lol!!! It's snowing mad crazy here and is cold as the North Pole!!

Yea, I'm just as excited as you are about the Big Bang!! I'm working on a paper and studying for my final right now and taking a break. lol.
