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.

MapleStory players looking to start their adventure as Dragon Master Evan will be able to acquire their flying dragon and train in Utah’s Farm, a new zone being added to Nexon’s MapleStory.  The Evan players enter the game in a dream and exit in Utah’s attic.  From here, the players will start their adventure with a quest in the house and eventually meet with Utah outside.  New monsters for Dragon Masters in training to battle include Strange Pigs and Treacherous Foxes.  As players level up battling these ferocious beasts, their dragon companion grows bigger and more powerful, flying protectively overhead.  This new zone is designed to help train Maplers looking to become Dragon Master Evan, hero in the making.
