I'm lost on classes...a little help?

[Corian Wornen]

When I first started there were only the basic adventerurs. But within a few days Cygnus knights came out. Now I'm hearing about Arans which I have no clue what they are. And now I'm hearing something about a 'kms'. So my questions are as follows:

1. As of now how many groups are planned?
2. What are the diffrences between them all?
3. When are these going to be available?

KMS is Korean maplestory, their test server KMST gets EVERYTHING big(such as class) first to test/balance/make sure they work. Every other kind of maplestory (There's a different maplestory for different parts of the world, Japan, South East Asia, Europe, even Brazil) gets it later. Usually KMST, than KMS, than Maple SEA or GMS gets it, than vice versa.


To answer your questions -
1.
A. Explorers
B. Cygnus Knights
C. Arans
D. 'Evans' - New Class


2.
A. Just the basic five classes
-Mage
-Warrior
-Rouge
-Archer
-Pirate
B. Cygnus Knights are a... a basicly branched off, updated, versions of classes, they can't choose a second job, they max at 120, and have around 2 ~ 3 new skills each job, and each has 2 skills locked at 3rd job they have to unlock at 100 and 110.
Blaze Wizard - A mage that deals in fire magic
Dawn Warrior - A warrior who has some mob skills, based of Fighter/Crusader.
Night Walker - based of sins.
Wind Archers - Based of bows.
Thunder Breaker - Based off Brawler.
C. Arans are Pole Arm users with an Ice element and a new "combo system" where they get more powerful as their combo increases, and considered Explorers, Since they max at 200, just with these differences:
-Only one branch post 2nd job, no choices.
-Even in 1st job, you gotta unlock skills at certain levels.
D. Evans just came out, I dunno much about them, look on youtube/google for more info, like this.


3.
A. Explorers already are of course.
B. Same with Cygnus Knights.
C. Arans are coming to GMS Dec. 9th Patch.
D. Evans are still in KMST, Maybe next year will get them.(Not sure, just found out about these, still researching.)



Hope this helps!
