SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

The biggest update in MapleStory’s history delivers a whole new experience!

Luxembourg, 22^nd July 2011 - Starting today, Nexon’s triple phased Big Bang update for MapleStory will thrill players with a whole new experience. With this first update, players will be able to step out into the Maple World as heroes who can level up much faster than ever before.  Skills and monsters have also been rebalanced, allowing players to rediscover the game with focused skills and familiar monsters. In addition, players will enjoy a higher graphical resolution, allowing them to experience a visually richer Maple World.  Other changes include a complete user interface revamp, making Maple World simpler, neater and easier to navigate -  a true overhaul to the entire game.

New events address every Mapler

The first installment of the Big Bang update is accompanied by many entertaining in-game events, inviting not only experienced players, but MapleStory newcomers as well. Between 21^st July and 25^th August, the “Welcome Back” event will reward new players with amazing items for their first and second job advancements. More experienced players can look forward to get a custom Evolving Ring, plus special items that will help with later adventures when the next update comes. Lastly, to celebrate the extensive update with everyone, all characters will be able to start fresh by resetting all the skill points for each of their characters for free, and tailor their gameplay to their newly discovered play style.

Reinforcements are coming

The 2^nd Big Bang update, the “Rise of the Resistance”, will be released on 4^th August, introducing two new job classes. The 3^rd and final installment of Big Bang, the “Birth of the Mechanics”, will hit in another three weeks time on the 25^th of August, with an exciting job class never seen in MapleStory before.
