Cash Shop EXP Coupons are undergoing a change during v139. You will no longer be able to purchase these coupons with characters level 200 and above. If you purchase a coupon before level 200 and then level up beyond 200, it will still grant bonus EXP to your character as long as its in your inventory. When it wears off, you will no longer be able to purchase another coupon with the level 200+ character. Coupons that were purchased on a level 200+ character before the v139 update will still be usable.

This change will help balance MapleStory's late-game experience and ensure that the level 250 cap remains meaningful.

This change will take place on July 24.

Hey Nexon, why not make 1-200 increase in difficulty again on an exponential curve (because the original format actually makes sense in this contemporary game where everyone ohkos everything), so it's not a blast shot to 200 before hitting a brick wall for the last 50 levels?

We'd have lvl 200 normal mobs that would have ginormous amounts of HP. SUper high HP mobs. Super high exp to go with it. It still could be scaled to make things long in the upper levels. Hmm..
