Important Change for Dual Blades, Cannoneers, Mercedes
Greetings, Maplers!
As we prepare for the upcoming year in MapleStory, Dual Blades, Cannoneers, Mercedes, and Demon Slayers are becoming "limited-time" character classes. These character classes will not be available in the Character Creation screen starting with the March game update, scheduled for the second week of March.
Please note this restriction will NOT affect any of these classes that were created before the restriction goes into effect.
If you haven't started your journey as a Dual Blade, Cannoneer, Mercedes or Demon Slayer, head into MapleStory and get going today!

This sucks.
[quote=Kwamsterr]wait does this mean cannoneers will be nerfed too?[/quote]
I don't think so.
@alltwo147: well, yeah thats probably gonna keep rising
[quote=Cooliee124]Obviously it'll keep the db, and merc population down if they cant make them anymore.[/quote]
But not the overall population.
oh wow good thing i have all of them
[quote=shadowmagezx]Its for the revamp.[/quote]
You mean nerf?
Time to create multiple accounts with these jobs and sell them Muwhahah.
[quote=chessguy4]They aren't being restricted forever, should be back in a few months.[/quote] Oh, never mind.
[quote=Creeper]I'm so happy about this! These classes are going to be super rare after a few years.[/quote]
They aren't being restricted forever, should be back in a few months.
I'm so happy about this! These classes are going to be super rare after a few years.
@alltwo147: Obviously it'll keep the db, and merc population down if they cant make them anymore.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this could be for the Union update :O Because evidentally, in the union patch (For KMS), every job EXCEPT for DBs, Mercedes, Canoneers and Demon Slayers received a revamp or rebalance
Character creation of those classes was also stopped in KMS, right?
I wonder why they only decided to do this now...
Oh and heres the facebook thingy

More questions and answers coming soon!
Because forever means only means 23 months

[quote=Cooliee124]YEAH boy. That'll keep the population down.[/quote]
This won't keep the population down. o_o
Thank you, TS!
@roman24242: dont i have to raise it to level 20 (blade recruit)?
So what happends to low level DBs at that time? Can they get equips anywhere?
[quote=roronora24]I dont know if its just me, but i hate demon slayers
THERE ARE SO MANY FREAKING WARRIORS NOW. I used to be special, now im just paired in with the ds's[/quote]
How did you think I feel about archers once WHs came out? With Mercedes I didn't really care anymore because they play so differently.
the only important char of that selection was the dual bladers ... the others just sucks ... good for me i made a db, merc and ds, the last 2 just keep them for the hot time event gifts and used them to harvest coins lawl
Knowing Nexon, they'll screw this up somehow.
[quote=shaftkid2]so i take it none of u remember evans arans dbs being taken out last tie they were updated....[/quote]
they are being removed dude. NOT worked on.
*Tears up*
This is beautiful.
Why is everyone flipping out about this?
KMS already does this.
[quote=tkirsch]why do they take these classes out?
im going to have to make a DB and get to 20( such a pain)[/quote]
Why get to 20, you can just create it and it will work after the maintenance
March update must be the start of the Union update :O
Which means Justice is coming <333
I dont see why people would be happy about others potentially not playing a class they might want. Nobody is special in Maple Story for choosing a certain class in my opinion.
[quote=KingOfHearts]Didn't see this coming. Is Phantom limited time in KMS?[/quote]
Unknown but I hope it is.
Edit: I hope it will be
I'm scared. Someone hold me
This is weird...what are they up to?
why do they take these classes out?
im going to have to make a DB and get to 20( such a pain)
YEAH boy. That'll keep the population down.
