MapleStory 2 – Final Test: Early Character Creation
This morning, users who were chosen to be testers for MapleStory 2’s final test were allowed to install the game early and create their characters in preparation of the test’s opening, on May 1 at 12pm KST!
I love the log-in screen image, the first CBT’s one was nice too 🙂
It’s so beautiful! I had to be quick and take a screenshot of it without a logo for everyone who wants it as a background or wallpaper or something.
Like last time, there’s only one server: Scania.
There are only 5 character slots at the moment. I will probably be playing Heavy Gunner for this testing period as I tried out Ranger last time, I’m all about that archer life haha.
Here’s the updated male character creation, there’s a lot of new hairs but they removed some make-up options.
And here is the updated female character creation!

such gorgeous login screen
is there a version without the Maplestory2 logo?
I want that ^.
Took some quick fingers but I got it!
Thank you Max!
Umm, max? I know they added a cash shop, and I’m curious as to what sort of things are actually IN the cash shop…
They gave players access to more asthetic customization than MS1 EVER had as a PREMIUM service… for FREE… And since they’re trying to avoid P2W aspect in MS2, by making the items in the CS ONLY asthetic just like MS was to begin with, I need to know how the CS in MS2 will be able to sustain itself on asthetics…
Hair styles? buy for mesos at Beauty Street
Hair Color? buy for mesos at beauty street
Hair dye? [presumably] buy for mesos at beauty street
Emotes/Expressions? buy for mesos at beauty street
clothes? make your own with mesos at beauty street
furniture? maybe you can get some furniture in the CS, since the molds for them are rather… limited…
chairs? seems like a good idea I guess?
badges [like the transparent one you got in alpha]? hmm…
effects (I mean Special Effects/FX/animations [such as MS1’s nuclear fire/Demonfyre/return of the angel wings/shadow style/Lotus Rage Aura {a cape, but should’ve been an effect}], not things that have an effect on gameplay)
more custom templates? (so instead of buying things of clothing types that you couldn’t make yourself, you can buy the ability to make those types of clothes instead…)
mounts? sounds like a good plan… particularily mount SKINS, I don’t want to use Vehicles, I won’t use them, and I don’t like the fact that they’re faster than organic mounts [of all the things that DON’T make sense, such as vehicles EXISTING in a semi-medieval fantasy, or where swords and bows are STILL in use while at the same time, heavy machine guns are ALREADY in use, or even the use of both tech AND magic in warfare or even MOUNTING A RUBBER DUCKY… they had to make the one thing that DOES make sense: vehicles outperforming mounts, STILL manages to make me want to strangle the dev team for implementing]
for the guild/team I [and my bro] plan to make if they make a GMS2 (He has 2 decent concept based on video game franchises [both involve a BAMF berserker with a huge sword… {but one is an MC, and the OTHER is a FORM of the MC that only appears in ONE game… (and, it’s more or less equivalent to Super Sonic for him, get to the final boss after beating the rest of the game 100%, unlock him, and [sometimes] unlock him for the REST of the game, but w/ limited use, since you’ve done everything already )}]), the mounts’d have to be horses, etc… (actually, since the concept I DON’T care to be a part of, is kind of set in a modern and/or futuristic setting, a truck wouldn’t be too hard to believe, but a Motorcycle would be ideal…)
It would be cool if they animated that waterfall in the login screen. Also Max, so far this game has appeal to me in the customization department (A+ all around). So how is the actual game?
I think it’s really fun! The combat is much more interactive than MapleStory’s and the block art style is really cute, it also allows much more depth of the world (being able to actually climb Ellinia’s giant tree is so cool haha).
Alright! Do skills become irrelevant by higher levels? One thing I really started disliking about Ms was that you only get to use skills with utility and 4 job ones instead of a combinations of all (even if that means making less of them, to be more effective.) And thanks for that amazing bg!
i can’t wait anymore D:<
I get this wierd error message after game launches
Any ideas?
Sorry her’s the image
Lol I can’t help with that, are you in Korean code page?
anybody playing the game? im in the game bored when playing alone LOL, please add me “Aribeth” or skype me at orangegurl
sighhh, there is no atmosphere to the game with the stupid blocks. an MMO in a block world cannot work. Maplestory 1 looked better than this. I cannot get immersed in a block world. what a disappointment. guess ill have to wait for maplestory 3. maybe theyll have some sense and make it a full 3D world that time. so much lost potential with the block art. imagine it how it is now but 3D instead of blocks 😦
