After a long 2-year wait, the Web3 version of 'MapleStory' has finally launched, sparking widespread discussion online. "Have you reached the island?" became a trending meme overnight, and on the first day of the server launch, players flocked in, causing the servers to become instantly overloaded, and even the verification codes couldn't be sent out.
On the day of the game currency launch, the price soared to $2.87, with a market cap of nearly $500 million. But how are the gold farming profits? Is it worth getting in? After personal testing, here's a quick summary for you!
🚀 Game Experience: Nostalgia at its peak, but major changes to mechanics!
The Web3 version retains the classic job system (Warrior, Archer, Mage, etc.), and the overall gameplay is consistent with the old version. However, characters cannot choose their own names; they must reach a certain level and meet boss-killing conditions to forge their characters into NFTs and change their names.
The initial leveling process has been greatly simplified, with tasks completed leading directly to key level transitions. Monsters primarily drop in-game currency and potions, and the equipment drop rates are quite low. Bosses do not drop equipment directly but grant lottery qualifications; whether you can roll rare items depends entirely on luck.
