MapleStory Universe is the Web3 new version of the immensely popular game Adventure Island.
It uses blockchain technology to give you true ownership of in-game equipment and items, allowing you to collaborate creatively with others to build a fair, enjoyable, and long-lasting game world. It connects players, creators, and programmers through a high-tech protocol called Nexpace, creating a transparent and free new universe of Adventure Island!
Where's the beef?
1. Equipment becomes digital gold
NXPC can turn the equipment and skins you acquire in the game into NFTs—unique, stylish in-game, and can be sold outside! For example, spending some NXPC can transform a cool weapon into an NFT, usable in the game and exchangeable for NXPC on the market. This is called Fission, essentially burning NXPC for rare treasures. There’s also a Fusion gameplay, where you team up with friends to gather items, merge them for NXPC, like treasure hunting together! Equipment is rare and valuable, such as warrior gloves with a drop rate of 0.00024%; finding one feels like winning the lottery—it's exhilarating!
2. You can earn pocket money by playing games
NXPC has a Contribute-to-Earn model, where helping the gaming community can earn you tokens! For instance, designing a cool map, organizing events, or playing seriously can all earn you NXPC. In the beta version, grinding NESO (the small game currency), enhancing equipment, and trading to accumulate points can earn you hundreds of NXPC based on your ranking, which might translate to real money in the future. Earning extra cash while playing games is just too enticing!
3. Dual-token system, simple and fun
MapleStory Universe has two tokens: NXPC and NESO:
NXPC: Manages minting NFTs, trading, and earning rewards. A total of 1 billion tokens, scarce like Bitcoin, with an initial circulation of 17%-20%, extremely valuable.
NESO: Earned by defeating monsters and completing tasks, used to purchase potions and equipment. Want to play big? Exchange for NXPC to mint NFTs!
The exchange rate between the two tokens is fixed, making it super convenient to use.
4. No pay-to-win, all based on gameplay, with drop rates made public.
No more microtransaction shops! Equipment and skins are all obtained from defeating monsters; the shop? Gone! The in-game currency is called Nesolet, and you can trade NESO. Drop rates are clearly stated on the reward panel, for example, warrior gloves have a drop rate of 0.00024%, while point items have a higher drop rate. Finding rare equipment feels like opening a blind box, and drop rates are transparent.
5. Easy for beginners, with comics for teaching
Don't understand blockchain? There are Token Comics that use funny comics to teach NXPC and NFT, simple as can be! In-game NPCs will teach you how to mint and trade. There's also MapleStory Universe Explorer, which presents player numbers and trading volumes in charts—transparent and visually appealing, data enthusiasts will love it!
6. No short-term speculation, aiming to last 20 years
Aiming for the long term, addressing MMORPG inflation, and wanting to thrive for another 20 years! The beta version has 470,000 players, with 40,000 active wallets each week—it's incredibly popular. Limited drops and a supply-demand model ensure a healthy economy; studios causing trouble? The official team is watching!
What is RX 2.0?
RX (Reward Experience) is a core concept proposed by MapleStory Universe. In simple terms, it refers to the pleasure and sense of achievement that players gain in the game.
It not only refers to the thrill of defeating monsters and obtaining equipment or leveling up, but also includes the satisfaction and rewards felt through playing the game, participating in community activities, and creating content. RX emphasizes allowing players to have ongoing fun and a sense of value both in and out of the game, especially by using blockchain and NFT technology to turn in-game items and achievements into truly 'owned' digital assets, breaking the limitations of traditional games. In MapleStory Universe,
RX 2.0 is a more advanced gameplay, aiming to enrich player experiences through community collaboration and diverse content. For example, you can not only defeat monsters in MapleStory N to obtain equipment, but also turn that equipment into NFTs to use in other community-developed games or applications; or you can design a map yourself and share it with other players to earn rewards. This concept of 'playing games is more than just playing games' is at the core of RX.
Funding status
NXPC is backed by Nexon, a gaming giant established in 1994, with 250 million players worldwide in Adventure Island, having earned over 5 billion dollars—so much money it could pile up into mountains! On December 19, 2003, NXPC raised 100 million dollars.
Summary
NXPC turns childhood Adventure Island into a digital gold mine! Using Fission and Fusion, equipment and characters become NFTs, showcased in the game and used in the community app, with RX providing an incredible experience! Through SDK and community creation, your NFTs can be played in countless new games and fan works, earning NXPC like a salary. Drop rates are transparent, and the official market is legitimate. Leveraging 20 years of Adventure Island IP, Nexon's hardcore development, and Avalanche's fast chain, NXPC aims to reignite the MMORPG scene for another 20 years! The beta version has 470,000 players and 40,000 weekly active users—it's absolutely booming.
