NEXPACE, an innovative blockchain company, has officially announced the date for the second Pioneer Test of MapleStory Universe. The Open Beta Test will commence on November 20, running for 10 days, with the aim of optimizing system stability and gathering user feedback ahead of the game’s official launch.

To celebrate the commencement of its first-ever Open Beta Test, MapleStory Universe has prepared several exciting in-game events and activities, rewarding participants with an estimated total of up to 5 million NXPC. NXPC is a utility token used to facilitate interactions and enhance the user experience within the MapleStory Universe.

With the event set to take place on a larger scale compared to the first Pioneer Test in July, participants can look forward to:

* An Open Beta Test attendance event that will reward participants with NXPC.

* A Pioneer Test participation event where testers can obtain NXPC by completing quests and achieving specific milestones.

* A burning time event that will double the experience points earned during gameplay.

* A guild recruitment event where guilds can participate in quests to earn NXPC.

* A maple points consumption event that will reward users with NXPC for using maple points.

The first Pioneer Test, which ran from July 24 with more than 1,000 testers for 10 days, delivered impressive performance metrics. 92% of testers actively participated throughout the entire test period, resulting in an 82% retention rate. Testers logged over 45,000 hours of gameplay, averaging more than six hours per user daily. Additionally, the ecosystem processed 195,046 transactions without the presence of a premium cash shop, showcasing the viability of its economy.

Sunyoung Hwang, Executive Director of NEXPACE, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming test, “The results of our first Pioneer Test exceeded our expectations, and we are excited to scale up for this second Pioneer Test. As we introduce blockchain technology to the 21-year-old MapleStory IP, our goal is to further ensure ecosystem stability and enhance user experience as we prepare for the full launch.”
