Hello Maplers,

Today we've reached a new record of 140 concurrent players online. This is of course a great achievement, and as promised for surpassing 125 concurrent players online, Channel 3 will be available for use following the next server check. This will hopefully provide you all with additional maps to grind in and make it easier to begin Party Quests. MapleLegends is now only 12 days . We've just started, and if you stick with us, we'll keep working on making your gaming experience even better.

Thank you for the continuous support.

-MapleLegends Staff-

Hello Maplers,

After receiving a week's worth of applications, we have chosen a select few players to add to our staff. The process was hurried a little bit by necessity due to the sudden growth of our server, but that is a good problem to have. All of the chosen players also played extensively during open beta and we believe that they will be able to help us (and you guys) out a lot going into the future. The new staff members are as follows:

~The Interns~

SamVosh (Vosh): Sam has been with MapleLegends since the first days of Open Beta. She has always been willing to help any players who needed it, and has also helped us out a lot by reporting many bugs throughout beta. With her friendly and professional personality, we believe that she will do a great job.

Betwixt (Kiamara): Betwixt has been with MapleLegends since Open Beta and has helped out a lot throughout it by reporting bugs, giving feedback, and helping other players. Additionally since the release, her streaming has been responsible for at least 40 new recruits to MapleLegends. The amount of dedication she has for the server is incredible and we believe that this position will give her an opportunity to help out even more. She has already begun answering some player @GM's before I even announced the staff additions, so we have no doubts that she's ready and will do a fantastic job.

~The Moderators~

Jaikor: Jaikor has been with MapleLegends since Open Beta and has made significant contributions towards the security of the server by reporting and helping us patch numerous exploits. However, due to his time constraints, we have chosen to only provide him a forum moderator position for the time being, which will allow him to continue to make contributions and help players until he has more free time. Given his professional demeanor, we believe he will be a great fit on the staff.

Crafty: I have known Crafty for 8 years now, after having met him on another game that I've also administrated. He was also apart of the staff there and did great job at it. He contributed extensively throughout Open Beta, and while he was not interested in an in-game position, he wanted to continue to contribute despite his time constraints, so we believe that he will be a great forum moderator.

Remember that this is only the first batch of the staff additions. The staff application section will remain open and you can still make an application if you'd like. When the time comes to add more staff members, we'll look through all of the applications again before making our decisions.

Note: Please contact Navi or I if you take issue with one of our new staff members. I don't expect them to do anything wrong, but if something happens, please let Navi and I know and we'll take actions. We assure you that you will remain anonymous.

Congratulations and good luck to all of the new staff members!

Hello Maplers,

It has been less than a week since our grand opening and we've reached 100 concurrent players online. Thank you so much to everyone for your support. It may be 2015 now, but it's 2008 in our hearts...

Thank you for choosing to play MapleLegends.

Hello Maplers,

As you may know, MapleLegends officially moved out of beta and released on April 1, 2015. Thank you again to all of our beta testers for your many bug reports and suggestions. We could not have gotten to this point without all of your support. For players both new and old, we hope that we can provide you with a non-stop nostalgic MapleStory gaming experience for the months or even years to come. We're looking forward to meeting everybody in-game!

Happy Mapling!
