About

MapleStory 2 (Korean: 메이플스토리 2; RR: Meipeul Seutori 2) was a 2015 live service massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by NSquare in association with Nexon and NCSoft. MapleStory 2 was released free-to-play first in Korea. The game took many of the features of the original game, MapleStory, and applied them to a 3D voxel-based environment. Most enemies, NPCs, and locations made a return in this sequel, although with several changes.

Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, MapleStory 2 featured third-person movement, and a "blocky look, similar to Minecraft" according to Polygon's Julia Lee. The game contained features commonly seen in MMORPGs, such as a leveling system and customizable weapons and armour, but also a "Battle Royale" mode, PVP arena and interior decoration minigame.

The game featured premium in-game currencies, called the Blue Meret and Red Meret, which allowed players to buy unique items for their characters and virtual homes in the global servers.
