LOS ANGELES - December 1, 2021 - MapleStory, the popular free-to-play global MMORPG from Nexon, has today announced that the all new playable class, Lara the Earthseer is now live! With the addition of Lara, the game has also recently brought a host of new content in the last update including Maple Live Events, Tera Burning Plus and Burning World enhancements.

 

Earthseer Lara, a member of the Grandis’ Anima race, uses their power to commune with Earth Spirits allowing them the ability to learn the location of Dragon Veins, where spirits gather. Lara is available in the game starting today.

 

Last month’s update, “On Air: Glimpse of Joy,” was announced at MapleStory Fest at Home, which, in a addition to adding Lara The Earthseer on December 1, includes new merchandise, the addition of MapleStory's iconic music to popular music to Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Amazon Music services, along with overall improvements to the game including: 

 

  • Maple Live Events: Players can complete daily, weekly, and monthly missions to collect Pink and Black beans with various rewards based on their Creator Rank that feature game enhancements, growth and cosmetic items.

  • Burning World and Tera Burning Plus: Burning World and Tera Burning Plus events continue to support speedy player growth, allowing players to create and designate burning characters who will gain 1+2 levels each time they level up all the way to Lv. 200.

  • Better Maple: To make a better MapleStory experience, the latest update has also made additional improvements that decrease death penalty durations, increase pet loot ranges and pet auto buff slots, added an inventory slot lock feature, and more.
