MapleStory developer destroys the world, then this interview
Cataclysm? Ha! A couple chunks of earth missing here and there and a nasty footprint left on the walls of a castle? That's not world destruction; that's moving the furniture around! Look no further for true heart-rending, life-altering, earth-shattering, massive destruction than MapleStory's new update. Well, I might be pushing it a bit far, but really -- it's pretty dramatic. If you're not familiar with the game, you either have an all-weather stone roof or this is your first visit to Massively. MapleStory boasts one of the largest playerbases in the world, despite offering more "primitive" graphics. The game's accessibility doesn't mean that it has no depth. Multiple classes and tons of quests as well as a robust cash shop offer something for everyone. Throw in the fact that this recent patch updated the graphics and added a new dimension to the game, and you will understand why the servers and website were crushed after the update. Well, we decided to interview Crystin Cox from Nexon to help make sense of all the changes. Join us past the cut to read the interview!
MapleStory's Cygnus Knights are almost here
MapleStory will receive an update by the end of this month which will introduce a brand new set of character classes called Cygnus Knights. These knights have already been available in MapleStory Korea and MapleSEA (the South East Asian version) for a while but players of the global version of the game will soon get their turn to try them. A Cygnus Knight starts without a specialization, and after ten levels a new sub-class must be chosen; either the Dawn Warrior, Wind Archer, Blaze Wizard, Night Walker or the Thunder Breaker. Here's a fun fact: the Wind Archer was called "Wind Breaker" in the MapleSEA version. Well played, localization team.To prepare for the launch of the patch, Nexon has put out a guide to creating Cygnus Knights, as it seems to involve just a few more steps than simply pressing the create button. We've put the guide into a gallery which can be viewed below. There's also a trailer introducing the Cygnus Knights and the various sub-classes; head past the break to check it out.%Gallery-68849%
