MapleStory, the Nexon 2D side-scrolling MMOG is receiving this month the Rise of Fellowship update, which adds a Sidekick System and Monster Familiars to everyday battle in Maple World.

The new Sidekick System will give them the opportunity to boost the stats and level up speed of the low level players when questing with more experienced friends. Players level 15-120 will soon be able to pair up and participate in the new system, where lower level players can gain EXP boosts when they quest with their friends. EXP is shared between the two players and a buff is gained every hour the relationship is maintained.

Monsters are also making a splash in this month’s update with the Monster Familiar system, which lets players collect different types of monsters and grow them into elite fighters. Players can collect dozens of different monsters that can be deployed to fight by their side. Some Monster Familiars are more rare than others, and players can attempt to find them all or trade with friends.

Players should also be on the lookout for special Halloween themed items and events during the Rise of Fellowship update. Zombies, goblins and other monsters will all be waiting for players looking to get spooked in Maple World. A new Halloween themed raid will be available, and special Halloween-themed cash shop items will let players join in the spooky fun too.
