Game trial》MapleStory N One sentence advice: the earlier you play, the more you earn
This article will elaborate on the integration of the MapleStory N blockchain and game mechanism in the MapleStory metaverse, as well as the basic game experience from Newbie in the pioneer test. Finally, it will infer the future development direction of the game and the advantages of early players from the perspective of game players and the blockchain industry. (Background: Exclusive Interview》MapleStory Metaverse Angela Son: Non-fungible Token is immortal, upgrading the rarity of virtual treasures and player achievement experience) Operating for over 20 years, the highly popular game IP "MapleStory" in Taiwan and Hong Kong, NEXON, the original Korean factory, announced this year that it will open a new MapleStory metaverse "MapleStory N," using Non-fungible Tokens and a new economic model to create a fusion of classics and innovations. Recently (12/11), NEXON's subsidiary "NEXPACE," responsible for developing "MapleStory N," also came to Taiwan to announce relevant information, confirming that the game will be officially open to global players in the first half of 2025. Before the game is officially launched, Dynamically Digital has fully participated in the first and second pioneer tests, and has conducted research on the relevant game mechanisms of "MapleStory N." It is admirable how NEXPACE has delved into blockchain technology. Many mechanisms applied to the blockchain gaming industry are very advanced and mature in "MapleStory N," making it a leader in the industry. This article will elaborate on the integration of the blockchain and game mechanism, as well as the basic game experience from Newbie in the pioneer test. Finally, it will infer the future development direction of the game and the advantages of early players from the perspective of game players and the blockchain industry. Game Innovation and Changes "MapleStory N" inherits the classic gameplay of the original computer version of "MapleStory," but has made comprehensive innovations in the overall coin economy and equipment system, indicating a desire to use Non-fungible Tokens to give new game mechanisms: Economic system changes Limited issuance replaces unlimited issuance Most dropped items, including potions, equipment, and other regular game props, have all become limited issuance in tradable states. Tradable items are further divided into two categories: Non-fungible Tokens (NFT), which cannot be stacked and are unique items, such as weapons, armor, and equipment. Fungible Tokens (FT), which are identical items, such as potions, scrolls, and disposable items. Removal of game NPC merchants The game removes NPC merchant characters, and players can only trade items and equipment using the in-game coin $NESO in the game market. All transactions are generated by interactions between players, and usable equipment and consumable items cannot be obtained from NPC characters. Issuance of item Tokens When players reach a certain level, they can use the mint function to mint non-tradable items into Non-fungible Tokens (FT), which players can sell or purchase in the game market. These tradable items can be traded using the in-game currency $NESO, whether in the in-game store or the official web store. Game currency transactions $NESO, NXPC Players can obtain Virtual Money $NESO by killing monsters or completing Galxe missions in the game. $NESO is the primary in-game currency of "MapleStory N," and all Tokens must be produced by players through "mining" monsters or completing missions. The official announcement also stated that another Token $NXPC will appear in the Cryptocurrency Wallet in the future. Although the detailed Token economics and exchange mechanisms have not been announced, it can be expected that "MapleStory N" will operate with dual Tokens in the game economy: $NESO will be the main in-game economic Token, while $NXPC may be the main Token used by players for exchange. $NESO Tokens obtained by defeating monsters or completing missions can be used to purchase Non-fungible Tokens and FT items in the market. Gameplay adjustments BOSS loot adjustments Unlike the original version where the first to grab wins, "MapleStory N" uses a weighted lottery system for BOSS loot drops, reducing disputes over token items. "MapleStory N" on-chain infrastructure Since it is a serious blockchain game, it naturally has real blockchain browsers and various other on-chain infrastructure. The official statement also mentioned that after a period of operation, these blockchain tools, including APIs and SDKs, may gradually be opened to the community, moving towards a sustainable chain game developed by the community. From these on-chain constructions, it is evident that "MapleStory N" has made a lot of effort to build the blockchain, extracting all the tools needed for the game from various EVM codes and protocols on the public chain Avalanche. Typically, in the Web3 track, each of these on-chain infrastructures can be a project worth tens of thousands of dollars on its own. It is clear that the Nexpace team has made a huge investment and effort in the game. MapleStory N Blockchain Browser: msu-testnet Galxe mission list: MapleStory N Play MapleStory N web store (available for trading outside the game): MSU-MarketPlace MapleStory N Genesis Test Points: The Genesis MapleStory character domain name (name system: make-name "MapleStory N" does have its own blockchain, with an average of one block every two seconds. Game login method (Wallet) Since it is a Web3 game, there is basically no distinction between game regions, adopting a global international service, so players around the world can play simultaneously without the need for any VPN. The login method also does not require entering any personal information to create an account. Players only need to prepare a blockchain Wallet and sign the Wallet on the MapleStory N official website to create a game Profile. The detailed process is as follows: Install a Wallet browser plugin (such as Metamask, etc.). If already installed, this step can be skipped. Click on the MapleStory N official website. Click the "Connect" button in the upper right corner to link the Wallet. In the popup window, select the Wallet and proceed to sign. After binding, you will be directed to the official website account Profile creation process. Once the profile is created, a personal image will appear in the upper right corner, and you can then click on "Play Now" on the right to install the local client. After installation, click "Play Now" again to start the game. It should be noted that the current "MapleStory N" client only supports the Windows system, but support for other platforms may be introduced in the future. Galxe daily check-in, missions, and collection of Airdrops The reward system in "MapleStory N" is mainly supported by Galxe, a Web3 integrated mission Airdrop platform. Players can earn Token Airdrops from different public chains and protocols by completing missions on the Galxe website. However, in the "MapleStory N" game, players do not need to interact with Wallets on the Galxe website. All mission initiation and reward collection processes are automatically integrated within the "MapleStory N" game. This integration is a paradigm in the Web3 industry, especially in the game track, for integrating third-party services. In addition to daily check-ins, missions, and collections, rewards from Galxe missions include not only the game Token $NESO but also Galxe protocol's Galaxy coin. The basic types of mission rewards that can be obtained include...
