MapleStory is an online adventure game that centers around the “Maple World,” allowing players to combat monsters and develop their characters’ skills and abilities in an immense platform-inspired persistent world. Players, using charming characters, interact through chatting, trading, and playing mini-games while surrounded by vibrant backgrounds. Groups of players can unite in parties or guilds to socialize, hunt monsters, or embark on quests.

MapleStory’s innovative cash shop offers players the option to use real currency to pay for game enhancements, from cosmetic items such as haircuts and clothing, to virtual pets that can be trained to sit, stand, and breathe fire. This feature is purely optional and players can try out items prior to purchase in a virtual dressing room. Players create truly unique identities in MapleStory through avatar customizations.

Big Bang is completely updating the MapleStory that players know and love, giving it an updated user interface, higher resolution, better graphics, new character classes, a higher EXP curve, and updated maps, among other exciting additions.

The Big Bang update is set to roll out in three phases starting in December, introduces new and different aspects to the game, giving players a chance to explore and thoroughly experience the completely re-done game.
