MapleStory Classic World launched worldwide on Wednesday, MassivelyOP reported. The legacy version of Nexon's MMORPG had been in a founder's access period since October 6 and is now available globally as a free-to-play experience through Nexon's own launcher and Steam.
Classic World is a reimagined legacy build of MapleStory running on its own servers, with just five base classes, slower leveling, older mechanics and a fresh economy. Nexon has also added new content and zones that give it a different flavor from other versions of the game, and describes the result as "true nostalgia."
Nexon has published the launch details, installation instructions and version 1.0 patch notes on the game's site, alongside a guide to starting out on Maple Island and heading into the wider world from there. Login rewards are available during the launch period, among them a snail pet.
