MapleStory 2, welcome.

Maplestory 2 was released one year ago today! 07/07/15 ~


Couple of recent highlights:

Last weeks' patch raised the current level cap to 99 (from 50). There have been two bug fix patches since then, both including a nerf to different training methods (spamming certain dungeons). Nexon wants these levels to take a while and people were leveling too fast. I believe the highest player is currently ~70.
Accessories were revamped - higher drop rates from dungeons, better stats, and rings/earrings/necklaces now have a 'socket' system (kind of like nebulites but not really) - up to three slots can be unlocked and gems can be placed in them. This was an enormously needed change to gear progression/upgrades. This also provides an additional way to make money, as it takes a lot of farming (in a party!) to get the materials required to upgrade gems (level 1~10). The gems can be sold, but the upgrade materials cannot.
A talent system was introduced. You gain points for levels past 50 (plus an additional 10 points to start) for bonus attributes - seen here. This is almost guaranteed to be expanded upon.


Over the coming month, two new classes will be released (Striker and Soul Binder).
