With the v.236 update, currently scheduled for early October, we will be making a major change to how NX, the paid currency for many Nexon games including MapleStory, is handled. With this change, NX Prepaid and NX Credit will be merged, with every Nexon player's balance of the two currencies being combined together. We hope to make for a simpler process for our customers, no longer having to sort out between the two forms of currency, and how each is acquired.
As part of this, there will be some changes to how certain Cash Shop purchases and actions function, in order to prevent fraudulent charges and protect the game economy. Some of these changes have already gone live as part of the v.235 Update on August 31st, and include:
Cash Shop Items that were previously unpurchasable with NX Credit can now be purchased normally.
Cash Shop Items that could only be purchased at a certain level with NX Credit no longer have any level restriction on purchase when being purchased.
Purchased items cannot be gifted to other players within 7 days of first NX charge. Note, if you have already charged NX to your account in the past, you will not be restricted from gifting.
Note: First Charge restrictions that are in place for NX Credit will also be applied to the merged NX. If you have cleared those restrictions in the past, then that status will be carried over to the new merged NX.
We will let you know more as the update approaches.

Latiya grew up in the dangerous jungles of the southern continent, trained to be the world's greatest hunter. Yet she was always obsessed with knights jousting on horseback, and dreamed of becoming one someday.
From her tribe she has gained the Kuja, a magical chain hook that she can summon from her hand. This allows her to quickly navigate the environment, to both elude and chase down prey. She pairs this with a lance, and while unorthodox, this creates powerful combos that only Latiya can perform.
She left the jungle and spent much time in her pursuit of the knighthood, training and competing in the popular jousting tournaments around the kingdom of Delshire. She met those who would come to care for her, and help in her quest. Unfortunately, this ended in mystery and tragedy that the player can investigate over time.
In the present, Latiya appears to have partially made peace with those lost days. She now seeks to live by the ideals of a knight, saving others, even if she did not truly earn the title. She wishes to be as starlight, which her tribe uses to guide others to safety.
She arrives in Colhen after rescuing a string of people, though her magic has grown so powerful that she accidentally destroys the surrounding environment whenever she does. The villagers do not quite know what to think of the young woman who seems so stalwart at some times, but so heartbroken at others.
