We've been working on improving MapleStory 2 a great deal since our last Closed Beta. Take a look at all the changes that have come with the beginning of Head Start!
Patch Notes Table of Contents
General Changes
The Head Start update will come with a massive number of changes, improvements, and lessons we learned from Closed Beta 1 and 2. Check out all the changes below!
Head Start between Oct. 1 to Oct. 10 (Official Launch) will only be open to players who have purchased or received a Founder's Pack.
All items for the Founder's Pack will be distributed.
The Founder's Pack items will be distributed to the first character logged into each region.
Merets will only be distributed to one region and aren't transferable. A pop-up will appear when you first log in and ask if you would like to accept these Merets in this region. If you click Yes, you will receive the Merets in this region. If you click No, please relog into the region of your choice and accept the Merets. The Meret window will continue to appear each time you log in until the Merets are redeemed.
For the Daily Wonders item in the Legendary Package, you will have until Dec. 31, 2018 to use the item and until Jan. 31, 2019 to claim all items before it becomes inactive.
The mail containing your Founder's Pack bundle will expire in 99,999 days, instead of 30 days.
