In the latest test world patch, the new level 285 area Carcion has been added, as well as new difficulties for Kalos and Kaling. There were also some changes to other bosses and various improvements.

The first patch of the MapleStory New Age update has been released, including a variety of game improvements, Grandis area level adjustments, and Shangri-La as a full area. There’s also the new Hyper Burning up to level 260, Burning World, and the summer event Identisk Island. The event works pretty differently this time around as there is no coin capping at all! You basically just login, click a button and get 500 coins a day. Almost all of the items you would buy from the coin shop are now given out for free through the two tracks of the attendance check, the quantities have been greatly increased, and there’s no more battle pass.
Next week, 6th job will be released to the test server! Honestly I don’t think I’ll be able to include the skill effects like normal because they’ll probably be 100MB gifs lol. Steve, Kobe, and I have been trying to prepare various characters on the test world to show off but we’ll see how it goes.

On Saturday, a couple of hours after the New Age showcase finished, the test world updated with many of the game changes and system improvements mentioned there. No 6th job yet (that will start testing on June 22)! This patch will be coming to the official servers on Wednesday, along with the summer event which is actually pretty different system-wise but more on that in the next post (might be a couple days later since I just finished this one).
Director Wongki also has been making his rounds, visiting various streamers to talk and answer questions. He started with Geulja (글자네) right after the showcase! He has made some interesting statements and soft-announced various changes, so I’ll probably write up a summary sometime this week.
Read more…MapleStory New Age Showcase!
The 2023 MapleStory Summer Showcase – New Age took place earlier today, where they showed off all of the things coming this summer, including the long-awaited 6th job!!
If you guys watched Steve’s stream or looked at my Twitter, you would know that Steve, Neo, and I were invited to the showcase as well! It was an amazing experience being in the crowd when such a huge announcement was made! We also got to briefly meet Director Kang Wongki (again) and Planning Team Leader Kim Changseop before they went on stage! I won’t be making a separate post about the day but I’ll include some photos in this one just to show what it looked like live.
I translated the showcase itself but I won’t be adding images because the pictures I took were not as good as the ones directly from the stream and I’m too lazy lol. However, it’s in the same order as the stream so you can follow along in another tab.
Also, the test world opened today with the game improvements and other changes (not 6th job, that will be on June 22). I’ll work on that later, maybe Monday!
