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!

Hello Maplers,

The Staff Application section has now been opened and we have available Internship and GFX Designer positions. An internship will help you get acquainted with some staff-responsibilities and tools which will lead you on the path to becoming a Game Moderator, at which point you will have the full ability to successfully moderate our game and host events. GFX Designers will create and design banners, or other artwork for events and promotions but will not, by default, have a GM account.

If you have any interest in applying, you can create an application here. All applications can only be viewed by the staff and the user who created it for the sake of privacy.

Some Tips:

1. Apply only if you are seriously interest. The likelihood that your application will be accepted is low if it's shown that you do not display very much interest or enthusiasm towards the position. In order to build a strong, dedicated community, we need strong, dedicated staff members helping us.
2. Do not apply if you have yet to play on the server. Although many people played during Open Beta, many more have or will join after beta ends. I highly recommend first observing the server to get a feeling for what the server is about (e.g. what we need to keep doing, what we need to change) before applying.
3. There are many things that you can do without being apart of the staff to increase your likelihood of being accepted. Help out new players, contribute to friendly discussion, and in general, simply show your dedication for the server. The more interest you show, the better your chances will be.

We will not provide an application sheet, so use your creativity and show us what you've got. Never worry about writing too much!

Good luck!

Hello Maplers,

The MapleLegends open beta period has officially closed and we are now preparing the server for the official release. As promised, we will be giving out open beta rewards to all players who have met the level thresholds. To be eligible for a reward, you will need to have a character within the top 25th percentile of any explorer class or have a character with a level equal to or above the average level at the top 25th percentile. You may also be eligible for a reward despite not meeting the level threshold if we believe that you put in an extraordinary amount of effort during the open beta. Open beta reward recipients will be able to keep their open beta in-game character name, skin, face, and hairstyle, while also receiving 4/4/4/4 ability stats. They will also be receiving a small NX bonus and some other small goodies.

You can find a list of open beta reward recipients on the forum by clicking here.

Thank you again to all of our beta testers! We're looking forward to seeing you during the official release!

Hello Maplers,

There have been rumors going around that a past v.62 server stored account information in plain text, which caused a member who played on said server to get compromised on some of his other accounts (fyi: he is currently not a member of MapleLegends).

With that being said, we want to remind you that you should always try to use an unique username and password in private servers (including MapleLegends) and avoid including your personal information for your own privacy and security. MapleLegends will never use your registration information in any way, shape, or form, but we still highly recommend that you do not use the same information here that you use elsewhere.

If you currently use the same password here as you do in other places (in particular other private servers), we highly recommend changing your password, which you can do by going here.

Thanks!
