Nexon – Page 10 – MMO Fallout

As the tech industry continues moving forward into the far flung future of 2020, you folks on last decade’s hardware are inevitably going to be left in the dust. Unfortunately for MapleStory 2 players that means anyone running on 32-bit is going to have a heaping helping of nothing come next week.

Nexon today announced that the 32 bit client for MapleStory 2 is going away, as in going away on February 12.

“Starting on February 12th, 2020, the 32-bit client for MapleStory 2 will be discontinued. Players will be defaulted to the 64-bit version of the game client. Moreover, the recommended specs of MapleStory 2 will be adjusted on all of our platforms. Due to Microsoft’s discontinuation of Windows 7 support, we recommend that players use Windows 10 when playing the game.”

MapleStory M Casts Shade As New Hero

It’s that time of the year again, and MapleStory M is releasing a new character.

Shade is one of the six heroes to bring an end to the reign of the Black Mage, and is a pirate that utilizes knuckles and fox marbles to combat their enemies. Shade has been reborn and is using this newfound life to investigate claims that the Black Mage may be back from the dead as well.

Of course a new character can only mean three things: First, a growth support event offering additional rewards as players attain higher levels with their new Shade characters. Second, a burning event offering an additional two levels for every level earned between 3 and 100. Third, a log-in reward event.

Growth Support: Runs through February 24
Burning Event: Runs through February 10
Log-in Event: Runs through January 22

Furthermore a series of events honoring the six heroes will run through February 11 and provide rewards for players with those six heroes. A Lunar New Year event also begins on January 20 and provides a bevy of rewards for those who log in and participate.

For more details, check out the official website.

More details on Spiritwish can be found at the official website. Spiritwish is a Nexon title.

New Heroes – Two powerful Rare heroes join the fray, with Mononofu, a melee-wielder who uses a Tachi to take down ghostly enemies, and Vanguard, a protector who utilizes superior defense skills to stun and taunt
Recruitment Quests – The Fire Mage and Soothsayer now offer two new quests for players to unlock their respective character cards and learn who they are and where they came from

Mobility: Maplestory M Drops New Class Luminous

Maplestory M is once again back with a new class. The Luminous is the latest class to drop on the hit mobile title, a mage class that utilizes a shining rod and orb to battle the forces of evil. Naturally this would not be a new class release without Nexon also running a burning event. Start up your new Luminous character and you’ll receive an additional two levels for every level up until January 13. In addition to the fast level track, you’ll also be able to obtain special rewards for leveling up the Luminous class character.

“An expert Magician, Luminous defeated the Black Mage using a shining rod as his primary weapon and an orb as his secondary weapon. In addition to these tools, the new hero also has a powerful Flash Shower skill, which shoots a concentrated burst of light that can penetrate multiple enemies. However, Luminous’s dark side also emerged as a result of his brush with the Black Mage. Becoming tainted with the antagonists dark power, Luminous now struggles to keep a hold of his light and dark side.”

Not to just cut and run, Maplestory M players can take part in the Happy Holiday event. Earn rewards, obtain winter treasure box keys from enemies, obtain log-in rewards, and more.

Astellia Blames Korean Shutdown On Nexon Restructuring

Astellia is shutting down in Korea (the Southern one) under publisher Nexon, and the news understandably has western player spooked and concerned for the game’s future in other territories. Getting ahead of the curve, the Astellia team posted an announcement last Thursday confirming that the shutdown is not so much due to the game’s failure in Korea, but due to the publisher undergoing restructuring in the region. That publisher being Nexon.

“The publisher for this region is undergoing a process of restructuring. As a result of this, the Korean service will no longer be operated by them and will be coming to a close early next year. We’d like to take a moment to reassure our community, that the publisher for Korean region and the North American / European regions are independent, and will continue to service Astellia without interruption.”

Astellia is published in the west by Barunson Entertainment & Arts. The announcement goes on to note that Korean players may be brought into the western version of the game, filling out the server population sheets.

“Currently, we are considering inviting displaced players from the Korean service to find a new home alongside us in the West. Bringing them aboard would provide players with access to a wealth of Astellia knowledge, increase overall player activity on servers, reduce dungeon queue times, and strengthen the level of competition within Avalon. We understand the significance of this decision, and in lieu of this, we encourage you to share your opinions and ideas with us below.”

The statement can be found at the link below.
