The day is finally here: MapleStory 2 is finally launched, free to play for Maplers all around the world! It's been an exciting 6 months since the announcement back in April, and we're thrilled to finally be able to share this new dimension of Maple World with everyone. MapleStory 2 has got plenty more in store for you as the days, weeks, months and years unwind, and they hope you have a blast with their very first update and the new job, new maps, new monsters, new events and new outfits to come with the Official Launch Update! Today MmoGah (a professional MapleStory 2 Trade site) will share more details with you Maplers.
New Job: Runeblade
The Runeblades of Terrun Calibre are the perfect marriage of melee combat and mystical might. On the hunt, chasing after a traitor to the order, the Runeblade will stop at nothing to take vengeance upon the vile Holstatt and avenge his teacher's heinous murder... but it will take the combination of Pelgian bladecraft and Jibrician rune magic to stop him.
The Runeblade uses a powerful combination of heavy melee attacks and powerful elemental spells that become bolstered with the runes applied to the Runeblade's two-handed blade. Use the Flame Sigil to boost your health and make your Echoing Blade assault burn the opposition, or apply the Frost Sigil and harden your armor along with your weapons, causing the Impact attack to freeze the ground your foes fight on. With attacks and spells that devastate in both the melee and at a distance, Runeblade's an effective fighter against nearly any opposition.
Karkar Island
Travel to Karkar Island, a gorgeous resort island where absolutely nothing could possibly be wrong! That is, aside from the swarms of insects, undead monstrosities, vile devils and... belligerent gaming consoles?
Party up with your friends and delve into six new Normal Adventure Dungeons, and when you think you're ready, grab 3 well-armed buddies and venture into the new Labyrinthine Halls Hard Adventure Dungeon. There's plenty you'll have to contend with as you reach for the new level cap of 60! Get more Ability and Skill Points, upgrade your gear and show the forces of darkness that the cute is not to be underestimated!
