Part 3 : Age of Battle This patch introduces a PvP system which players can battle against each other. PvP consists of 3 modes:

Free-for-all: Battle without rules

Team Battle: Battle with a team and a time limit

Ice Knight: One player becomes the Ice Knight and you must battle as other players will try to kill the Ice Knight. Also has a time limit.

Trivia

 * The patch names for MapleSEA used the fan translation of the Korean names, which is Return of the Heroes, Technological Age, and Super Fight.
 * Both TaiwanMS and MapleSEA had Capture the Flag, so it hadn't been exclusive for more than 3 months.
