Luxemburg, 25.August 2011 – Nexon’s triple phased Big Bang update for MapleStory, the 2D side-scrolling massively multiplayer online game, is now complete with the addition of the “Birth of the Mechanic” content. Maplers can now take the role of the valiant Mechanic character class, while joining the Resistance in their battle against the menacing Black Wings.
A new beginning
The three-part Big Bang update has completely renewed the MapleStory that players have come to know and love, introducing a slew of changes that offer players a completely remastered adventure. The previous Big Bang updates, which rolled out in August, introduced a visually richer Maple World, a simpler user interface, redesigned and rebalanced skills, an easier EXP curve, two new worlds, the Wild Hunter and Battle Mage classes and much more. With the third and final addition of the brand new Mechanic class, the Big Bang update is now complete.
Rise of the machines
The Mechanics are ordinary citizens of Edelstein who will answer the call to greatness. As a new member of the Pirate family, they carry the same weapons and equipment as a standard Pirate, but they ride powerful ME-07 mechs and are complete tech geniuses- they can even activate robot minions to defeat Black Wings.
Both new and experienced players will relish the Mechanic’s fast-paced combat, simultaneous attacking and healing capabilities, and with the ability to navigate more efficiently through maps. This all culminates in a new, exciting way to battle the Black Wings and explore the newly overhauled Maple World.
