What is the Citizenship System?

The Citizenship system is a new progression feature introduced in MapleStory Classic's Second Closed Online Test. Starting at level 12, players can establish their identity in the Maple World by choosing a hometown and completing quests to earn rank and rewards.

This system adds a layer of long-term progression beyond traditional leveling, giving players daily and weekly goals tied to their chosen community.

Choosing Your Hometown

At level 12, you'll be presented with a choice between two iconic MapleStory towns:

Your hometown choice determines which quest lines you'll access and may influence certain rewards. Choose wisely, as this decision defines your citizenship identity.

Quest Structure

The Citizenship system features two types of recurring quests:

Daily Quests

• Reset every 24 hours
• Typically involve defeating monsters, gathering items, or visiting NPCs
• Provide steady citizenship points and small rewards
• Great for maintaining consistent progression

Weekly Quests

• Reset once per week
• More challenging objectives with higher rewards
• May include boss encounters or extended grinding
• Essential for rapid rank advancement

Rank System

The Citizenship system features three ranks that you progress through by completing quests and earning citizenship points:

Tips for Efficient Progression

• Complete daily quests first - They reset every 24 hours and provide consistent points
• Don't neglect weekly quests - They offer the best point-to-effort ratio
• Plan your gameplay - Some quests may overlap with your regular grinding or bossing
• Check quest requirements early - Some may require specific items or boss clears
• Use the citizenship NPC - They provide helpful hints about available quests

Housing Teaser

Both Henesys and Kerning City already have estate agents and furnishing shops in the test build. However, housing is not yet available. This suggests that a player housing system may be coming in a future update, though Nexon has not officially announced it.

For now, treat these NPCs as placeholders and focus on the citizenship progression system itself.

Important Notes

• The Citizenship system is currently in testing and may change before live release
• Character progress will be wiped when the Closed Online Test ends
• Your hometown choice is permanent for the duration of the test
• Citizenship points and ranks do not carry over to the live game (for now)
