Attention Maplers,

As previously announced, we are making a change in the v.244 update that will allow buffs to remain on a character upon death without the need for Buff Freezers. We’re ecstatic to see the community anticipate this change, as we know it will bring a better Mapling experience to all players. 

In addition to the previous announcement, we’d also like to share our plans to make the second pendant slot permanently available for all characters without the use of a separate item. This change will start in our v.245 update, which is scheduled for October 4, 2023. In preparation for this, we will be discontinuing the sale of the Pendant Slot Coupon (30 day) from the Cash Shop on September 4, 2023. 

We look forward to providing an even better MapleStory experience for players with this change.

 

Attention Maplers,

With the v.244 update, currently scheduled for August 30, we will be making changes to the way buffs interact with character death. Instead of removing any active buffs from characters upon death, characters will now have their buffs persist without the use of a Buff Freezer.

[With this upcoming change, we would like to inform you that Buff Freezers, Cash Shop items which currently protect the player from losing their buffs upon death, will be removed from sale during the Cash Shop Update on August 23, 2023, and any Buff Freezers purchased before the removal date will naturally expire before the v.244 update. In addition to this, [b]Buff Freezers[/b] will not appear in the current run of Marvel Machine and any unused Buff Freezer Marvel Machine coupons will be disabled.

We hope that this change to death penalties and Buff Freezers will make for a better MapleStory experience going forward.
