Nexon Corp., Korea's leading online games developer, Thursday released an updated version of its flagship game MapleStory.

The new features of the popular role-playing game include remodeling the Maple World, balancing between jobs and classes, and new resistance jobs and monsters, and a faster and easier level-increase, the company said in a press conference.

The game is enjoyed by 18 million Koreans and about 100 million users in 60 countries, including 8 million in Taiwan and Hong Kong, 3.3 million in Japan and 1.8 million in Europe, the company said.

This year, the game company plans to customize contents for each country.

Nexon, established in 1994, has seen its sales double each year since 1999. Its sales surpassed 703 billion won ($572.7 million) in 2009, and the company expects to become the first game publisher to reach 1 trillion won in sales this year.

Since its introduction in 2003, Nexon has updated MapleStory every summer or winter break, targeting young users.
