<p>MapleStory N recently dropped its biggest content update yet on August 7. The gameplay patch added three classes from the original game, Aran, Mercedes, and Phantom. In addition to the new faces, the patch rolled out improvements to field events, while also kicking off new ones in the process.</p><p>The newest <a href="https://funjible.games/games/maple-story-n">MapleStory N</a> characters will likely see high demand for now. Aran relies on building combos, and she utilizes polearms in the process. Mercedes is more focused on mobility, which allows her to move around aggressively in combat. Phantom, on the other hand, offers a versatile playstyle with Skill Swipe that steals the abilities of explorers nearby.</p><div class="raw-html-embed">

Just a month later, <a href="https://funjible.games/news/Hacker-Activity-Exposes-Flaws-MapleStory-N">MapleStory N dealt with major flaws and hacker issues</a>. To protect honest players, developers added new safety measures to the game.</p><p>Currently, you must either finish the first step of the KYC process or buy a specific amount of $NXPC tokens in your registered wallet to play MapleStory N. This security step stops banned players from returning right away.</p><p>Although the Web3 gaming space has moved past its "GameFi hype" phase, developers are still launching major updates. These efforts have begun to pay off, as seen with <a href="https://funjible.games/news/illuvium-up-160-percent-ahead-of-250k-pro-league-starting-aug-16">Illuvium's token price rising 160 percent before its major tournament on Aug. 16</a>. MapleStory N is a key player in blockchain gaming, likely to keep offering exciting updates and events. Its main strength lies in decades of experience in building MMORPGs. It also benefits from the support of its Web3 peers, like <a href="https://funjible.games/news/sky-mavis-launches-400K-gran-for-ronin-blockchain-apps">Sky Mavis, which recently introduced a $400k grant for Ronin Blockchain apps</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sN1G-Zx4ebo?si=suZ08w4O300kMBX9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
