MapleStory Is Removing Jett From The Game Permanently On February 2024
In shocking news for MapleStory fans, Nexon has pulled the ultimate gaming power move – deleting an entire class from the game. Say goodbye to Jett because she’s going to be nixed entirely from the classic MMORPG by February 2024, apparently due to all the trouble that she causes with each and every major update. If you haven’t already created a Jett character, tough luck, because that option is gone with the latest maintenance update.
Jett has been around since 2012, but she’s only available in the English-language version of the game. This has caused a lot of headaches for Nexon when it comes to porting updates from the Korean build, so they’ve decided to pull the plug altogether.
“As new content needs to work for all of MapleStory’s 50+ classes, it adds complications when focusing on one region-specific class,” Nexon explains. “Current Jett players may have noticed that new content sometimes contains bugs that only affect the Jett class, and these bugs can be difficult to resolve. Going forward we want to focus our development efforts on high quality content that can be enjoyed by all players, such as new content and features that will be released in the future.”
“Making the decision to remove Jett from Global MapleStory was not easy, but we believe this course of action will allow us to provide a better service to you Maplers,” the studio added. “We understand this news may not come easily to our passionate fans and existing Jett players, and we understand the concerns this may cause.”
To make up for the loss of hours upon hours of grinding, the team will be running a lengthy event later this year that will allow players to transfer to a new class. They’ll also be handing out buffs, coupons, and name changes to former Jetts. However, the lack of gender change options and the feeling of being undercut by the Korean version has left players feeling pretty sour.
Even non-Jett players are worried about what this means for the future of their characters and the game as a whole and it’s safe to say that this move has left a bad taste in the mouths of MapleStory fans.
