MapleStory Adds Permanent Items and Updates Classes

Nexon’s MapleStory continues to evolve. After releasing a series of new classes, it was finally time for the original cast to get an update. Magicians, Thieves, Bowman, Warriors, and Pirates have all been revamped and buffed with the latest patch. This makes the ‘Explorers’ a fun and viable character choice again alongside the newer Cygnus Knights, Aran, and Evan hero classes.

That’s not the only new feature in the latest patch. Players will finally have the option to buy cash shop items permanently rather than for a week or month at a time. Of course the permanent price will be much higher, but it may pay off for long time players.

Nexon continues to develop new content and features for its free to play game portfolio which includes MapleStory, Combat Arms, Dungeon Fighter Online, and Mabinogi. No doubt the upcoming Vindictus and Dragon Nest will receive the same level of support.
