NEXPACE, an innovative blockchain company, has officially announced the date of the second pioneering trial of MapleStory Universe. The Open Beta test will begin on November 20 and will last for 10 days, with the aim of optimizing system stability and collecting user feedback before the official launch of the game.

To celebrate the start of its first Open Beta test, MapleStory Universe has prepared several exciting in-game events with an estimated in-game reward of up to 5 million NXPC. NXPC is a utility token used to facilitate interactions and improve the user experience within MapleStory Universe. With the event expected to expand in size to the first Pioneer test in July, participants can expect:

• NXPC Events: Earn NXPC for in-game achievements like completing daily logins and trading nfts. Genesis Points earned can be redeemed for NXPC after official launch, subject to applicable terms.
• Create a special name (IGN event): Play MapleStory N to collect letters and be the first to secure the desired in-game name (IGN).
• Pioneer Swag: Complete the survey and missions to unlock an exclusive outfit.

The first Pioneer test, which took place on July 24 with more than 1,000 testers over 10 days, returned impressive performance metrics. 92% of testers actively participated throughout the testing period, resulting in a retention rate of 82%. Testers logged more than 45,000 hours of play, averaging more than six hours per user per day. Furthermore, the ecosystem processed 195,046 transactions without the presence of a premium cash store, demonstrating the viability of its economy.

Sunyoung Hwang, CEO of NEXPACE, expressed excitement about the upcoming trial: “The results of our first Pioneer trial exceeded our expectations and we are excited to expand on them for this second Pioneer trial. As we introduce blockchain technology to the 21-year-old MapleStory IP, we aim to further ensure the stability of the ecosystem and improve the user experience as we prepare for the full launch.”
