Citizenship and Housing in MapleStory Classic World
Citizenship and Housing are two systems that are new in Classic World and weren't in the original game. Citizenship comes first, because you need it to buy a house.
Citizenship
Characters level 12 and up can become an official resident of Henesys or Kerning City.
| Town | Where | NPC |
|---|---|---|
| Henesys | Henesys Town Hall | Arthur |
| Kerning City | Kerning City Civic Center | Roxy |
What citizens get
- Access to special items in the town's specialty shop
- A discount on cab prices
- A discount at the Storage Keeper
- A discount on some general store items
- Access to the Citizen General Store, which sells extras such as the Lie Detector Test
Raising your Citizenship grade
Each town has a Community Board with requests from local residents. Completing them earns Contribution, which raises your Citizenship grade and unlocks more ways to help the town.
Housing
Once you're a citizen with a grade of Visitor or higher, you can buy a home with mesos from the town's Housing Registrar:
| Town | Housing Registrar |
|---|---|
| Henesys | Bianca |
| Kerning City | Scarlett |
Key rules:
- You can own one home at a time.
- The house is shared by all characters on your account.
- You can decorate it with furniture, invite other players over, and visit their homes.
The Lie Detector Test
Citizens can buy a Lie Detector Test (account-bound, 7-day duration) at the Citizen General Store. If you see a character behaving like a bot, use it on them to start a minigame. A character who fails is sent to the Truth Booth. There they can't move, chat, use skills or items, or join any content until they've stayed logged in for a set time.
