Nexon's MapleStory iTCG online card game which has been in beta since last year has officially announced it will be closing down the service as of Thursday, June 10th. The beta had only the initial card set from the "real life" version of the card game and was able to be played with no download in the browser.
iTCG plays a lot like other popular card games of the day, such as Magic the Gathering, although definitely a bit more lighthearted in spirit being based on Nexon's popular side scrolling MMORPG, MapleStory. The game has been praised for removing one of Magic's biggest problems, being "mana screwed" by allowing players to use any of their cards as resources.
Nexon will be offering its iTCG supporters a little bonus sendoff:
As a thank you, Nexon America will give iTCG beta testers a number of bonus items including 10,000 iTCG points to purchase booster packs to enjoy the game until June 10. Everyone who registered for iTCG before May 25th and signs up for PopTag! between May 25th and June 6th is eligible to receive 1,000 NX and a free gift in PopTag!, our water-balloon based action game.
It's sad to see an online CCG with some promise shut down, but it looks like this is the end for an online MapleStory iTCG.
