NXPC is a utility token used to facilitate interactions and enhance the user experience within the MapleStory Universe.

With the event expected to be expanded in size of the first pioneer test in July 2024, participants can look forward to the following.

• Pioneer swag – Completing the survey and quests to unlock an exclusive outfit.

The first pioneer test – which ran from July 24 with more than 1,000 testers for 10 days – delivered impressive performance metrics.

Ninety-two percent of testers actively participated throughout the entire test period, resulting in an 82% retention rate.

Testers logged over 45,000 hours of gameplay, averaging more than six hours per user daily.

Additionally, the ecosystem processed 195,046 transactions without the presence of a premium cash shop, demonstrating the viability of its economy.

Expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming test, Sunyoung Hwang, executive director of NEXPACE, said,
