Stuck In Showa Town In Maplestory
As I'm sure all of my Maple Story readers know
, Cygnus Knights were recently introduced into the game. Knowing the fanatic enthusiasm of most Maplers, I don't think I really need to go into too much depth in terms of their particular abilities past the fact that there are five new classes, the Dawn Warrior, Blaze Wizard, Wind Archer, Night Walker, and Thunder Breaker. They are tied to the concept of warrior, magician, bowman, thief, and pirate, respectively.
Cygnus Knights are characters that are being recruited by Empress Cygnus (who is, as per Maple Story's Modus Operandi, is an adorable blonde, helpless looking female charcter) to fight the Black Mage (or Black "Magician", as some other Nexon resources call it) who has suddenly awoken for an unexplained reason and threatens existence. (You know, the standard stuff.)
That's the plot. In a paragraph, that's exactly what the "New" Maple Story is going to be about.
It seems to me that Nexon cooked up a whole new game, one with a real plot and some semi-deep characters, and designed it and introduced it into their 'old' game as a method of keeping their previous fan base.
I mean, from what I've read, Cygnus Knight characters will have access to quests, abilities, and stories that normal mainstream characters won't. That is, Knights will be able to make completely new items and, I assume, wield new weapons to fight a new enemy that's bearing down on a new Princess/Queen/Fairy/ClichedDamselinNeedOfHelp. Old characters'll have to sit back and watch. I'd also like to point out that, of course, the Cygnus Knights will be able to go everywhere, and do everything any regular character could. So, to sum it up: the Knights will be able to do everything in the game and play through a story (Maple with a story? Insanity, I know), while non knighted characters get left out of the party.
What is Nexon implying to all its players in making this update? "If you want to keep enjoying our prime content, you have to make a whole new character!"
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist nutter here, but it seems like another way to keep old veteran players completely caught up in the game. Got a level 200 Night Lord? Spent (literally) a thousand or so hours leveling and upgrading? Well, now you have to leave it behind and start from the beginning!
And what does "Start from the beginning" really mean? "You'll have spend even more hours grinding away with a new set of skills and abilities to gain level after level, purchase Nexon Point Cards to buy 2x EXP cards, and buy even more NX cards to get cool new weapon and armor masks (which most of you will) so you can look awesome!"
Break out your wallets!
I'm having a hard time correctly articulating how much this would frustrate me if I was a heavily involved player. Do any of you actually feel a little cheated by this? I really hope you do. But hey, If you don't? More power to you. If you like that sort of thing, starting anew and working your way back up the level pyramid again, this is right up your alley.
Maple Stroy's newest class, "Dragon Master Evan" debuted at Gstar 2009 on November 25th in Busan. It will officially be scheduled to be updated with the newest content in December. People at Gstar 2009 can already try out the new class.
The new class Evan are an elemental "Dragon Trainers" class that fought alongside the Aran to defeat the Black Magician. Evan is the name of the dragon. What we know so far about this new class is that a Dragon will be given to you that evolves as you level up. The dragon does all the attacking for you and evolves as you level up. Thats pretty unique right? Here is the breakdown of the Evan class:
Magicians
Int and Luk are needed for Stats
The skills are created and used by Evan, the dragon
Their max level is 200
It looks like this is another class released to have fought against the black magician along with Aran.
At the planning stages of Dragon Master Evan, Contents Team leader Kang Won Ji said, "the Dragon is fun to manipulate, as well as a variety of skills and a strong property Party buff that provides features such as Evan also be enough to attract the attention of the user himself."
Korean Maple Story also opened their Teaser Site.
