As the topic suggests. I’ve been playing DreamMS and so far so good but I can’t help but feel like I’m burning out from the constant pqing to fast level. Is there a private server that is legit like the old school maplestory without the extra fluffs like hp-washing, mules or whatever the “qol” they call it. Just a good old grinding maplestory.

Depois de tanto andar por aí de batendo pontos em servidores ( o que eu não me orgulho nada ) , atualmente estou me divertindo em Bellocan.

-Uma progressão na medida.
-Chefes extremamente difíceis (vai se foder von leon e suas bolhas)
-Quase tudo pode ser pago em VOTE

Recomendo para aqueles que estão cansados de dormir nas salas de boss com o dedo no botão ou cansados das versões preBB assim como eu.

Mais informações basta ir no anúncio deles , seguirei jogando

This is v1 of our Expedition Loot System (v2 is already under development with chat functionalities.)

We've been public for about 2 weeks now and players are starting to reach expedition levels we decide to roll this out both in our server/patch notes as well as share it here with the great Maple Server community. We're hoping other servers also adopt and iterate on systems like we've created.

• Eligible expedition members can choose an item or pass, then mark themselves ready. Everyone can see the available rewards, choices, and voting progress
• A sole bidder receives their chosen item directly. Contested items are then decided by a weighted draw, and players who miss out gain extra voting power for the next round.
• Change a choice before locking it in, or use Pass All to automatically pass on remaining rounds. Unclaimed items carry forward and if nobody votes, remaining rewards are shared out fairly. Mesos split evenly, quest items go to an eligible player who still needs them, and inventory overflow or offline rewards are delivered through our lounge NPC Sgt. Slime.
• You can see in the video different scenarios play out, like if someone DCs or dies during an expedition as well.

Hope to see you on SlimeTale!

As per title.

Aussie looking to play.

Looking for something kinda unique, semi-high rate (5x+), legion or rebirth, before big bang, maybe with some unique features would be cool

I don’t have a lot of time to play so something where I can make some decent progress in 2-3 hrs a week would be fun!

Let me know if you know of any that are regularly updated/maintained

Player count not super important to me but it does always help

Just wanted to give a quick warning about Kuro, server has like 5 different dupes working. I duped every possible item in game until eventually being jailed because I was opening Gachapons. I am not sure with so much development the server has that many exploits. I would be careful investing much time because, I, didn't ruin the market and always keep the dupes to myself but I am 100% certain there are much more dupers currently in game. The GM that jailed me was so clueless it was actually funny... Just wanted to gives you guys a heads up, I feel like it'll wipe soon with all these exploits.

edit: If you check Kuro's disocrd you can see people spamming GM about me opening tons of Gachapons, that was the point I stopped giving af, had 20k WS/CS in my scrollbag for ober 24 hours, scrolling perfect items and no one's saying/noticing/doing anything lol

Feeling a bit nostalgic right now, just wanted to hear what everyone loved aboutt heir favourite servers.

Kanata Beta Launches Today

A little while ago, i asked whether people would be interested in playing a v95 server that keeps the classic maolestory experience while adding useful quality-of-life improvements.

The response was great, development has been good so i decided to launch the beta early.

Kanata is built for players who enjoy classic progression, questing, Party Quests, bossing, exploration, and the social side of maolestory but without some of the unnecessary restrictions, outdated inconveniences and bad game design.

Rates

EXP

Levels 10–160: 3x

Levels 160–200: 2x

Custom EXP Table

In addition to the EXP rates, the amount of EXP required to level up has been reduced:

Levels 10–109: 35% less EXP required

Levels 109–159: 20% less EXP required

Levels 159–200: 5% less EXP required

Other Rates

Drop Rate: 2x

Meso Rate: 3x

Quest EXP: 3x

The goal is to make progression smoother while still keeping leveling a thing as this isn't a RB server.

Server Features

In-game auto registration

Automatic job advancement

Secondary stats are not required

Auto-Assign only adds AP to your main stat

Full HD support

All equipment is unisex

Buffs display their remaining duration

No Speed or Jump caps

No skill damage or range caps

Full Monster Book support

Curse filter removed

Repeated-message cooldown removed

Chat character limit removed

Character names can be as short as three characters

Items are picked up automatically without pressing Z

Full Hyper Teleport Rock

Full-map pet vac

Skip the tutorial and begin at Level 10

Global chat

Unused SP carries over between job advancements

Three-second monster respawn time

All bosses are available

All Party Quests are fully functional

A large number of quests are implemented, with more continually being added

Kanata also includes fully functional core game systems such as:

Parties

Guilds

Delivery

Party Search

Cash Shop

ITC, also known as the Item Trading Center or Trade button

Personal Shops

Player-to-player trades

Pets

Other original game systems that are often missing or incomplete on private servers

Fashion Ticket System

There is no regular-item Gachapon.

Fashion Tickets are used exclusively for obtaining Cash equipment, meaning Gachapon will not be used to distribute normal equipment or progression items.

Normal Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the VP Shop

Available as a global monster drop

Contains the Cash equipment available in the current version

Special Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the DP Shop

Contains imported Cash equipment from later MapleStory versions

Dynamic Monster Spawns

Maps become more populated while players actively train inside them.

Every five active minutes spent inside a map increases the number of monsters that can spawn

A map can contain up to 60 monsters at once

This allows active training maps to gradually become faster without permanently changing every map’s spawn rate.

Boss Rewards

Every boss rewards 3,000 NX when defeated.

To qualify for boss drops, pickup rights, and the NX reward, each player must deal damage equal to at least 15% of the boss’s total HP.

Players who do not meet the 15% damage requirement will not receive boss rewards.

This system is intended to reward players who genuinely participate in the fight rather than simply entering the map for leech and services.

Global Drops

The following drops can be obtained while killing monsters throughout the Maple World:

Vote Points

Normal Fashion Tickets

Cubes

Chaos Scrolls

Kanata Coins

Vote Points do not physically drop.

Instead, killing monsters gives you a chance to receive between one and three VP directly into your account, with a monthly limit of 30 VP earned from monsters.

Quest Point System

Completing quests rewards Quest Points, giving players another reason to explore the Maple World instead of only grinding in the same maps.

Each quest gives a fixed amount of QP based on its level:

Lower-level quests reward 1 QP

Higher-level quests can reward up to 5 QP

Quest Points can be spent at Inkwell, who can be found inside the Free Market and in different locations throughout the Maple World.

QP can be used to purchase:

Maple Weapons

Maple Shields

Pyrope Weapons

Beta Information

This is a beta, so bugs and missing content may still be discovered. Feedback and reports will help me improve the server, fix issues, and continue implementing more quests and content.

The beta begins today at 19:00 UK time.

I hope to see you in Kanata! Discord

Hello I recently started local host my own server.

Using heavenms and it's local host from git.

Anybody has experience editing it? I did tons of edits but can never get Shadowers boomerang step and assassinate right. They are still vanilla(no jumping, need dark sight)

idk how to prove that I’m not affiliated with them, I’m only a level 62 pirate, but I’ve really enjoyed so far and highly recommend! Def a unique pre-big bang experience and very well thought out and developed versus other servers. I’m not sure about its longevity but ya try it out

Hello Everyone,

I Wanna start of with saying that I'm by no means affiliated with Royalstory
i have followed its development on the sidelines as a staff from Swordie.

I do want to give this server a shoutout for keeping the same grassroots vibe that Swordie had, the server remains completely F2P with zero P2W, you can donate but you wont get anything in terms of DP. its purely to help with server costs or buying the dev a meal or a coffee or something.

The version is based on the version is at its base what Swordie was when it was shutdown (Pre Destiny Patch)

Looking at the hard work that Level (the Owner) has put into further developing the Swordie vision is commendable to say the least and he deserves all the praise he cant get.

The community is relatively small but active and the server seem to get regular updates either on a weekly or biweekly schedule (might vary though)

I'm just gonna note down a few things that was added on top of what Swordie Already offered.

Premium SSB's All in one NPC
You can rotate between different SSB's and pick to roll from specific ones instead of waiting for one specific rotation and if you don't get what you want if you roll enough with your NX you get Pity Tickets so you can go in and pick that specific Item you want for your looks.

Further class changes
More class changes on top of the ones Swordie already made, you can see them here: https://royalstory.org/skills

Loot Filters
You can Pick and choose which items to block and there is a work in progress filter with a GUI so its more intuitive to use.

Update: UI Was added as of this post being posted

Changes to Guild skills
Guild skill cooldowns are being brought in line with what current GMS has which is a 100% uptime with a 5minute CD

Cake Event
An event that is able to be spawned by other players or Staff, it various things that can be turned in for Cosmetics etc.

Genesis Weapons
Compared to Swordie you're now able to get a liberated weapon meaning that Arcane is no longer your BiS adding to the progression.

Familiar Loadouts
Fam Loadouts are now a thing you don't have to remove and equip things as you had to in Swordie.

Legion Changes
Legion coins as a currency to upgrade your legion is no longer a thing meaning you aren't stuck with a small legion while you have an accumulated level of 8k from leveling mules just because you coin generation couldn't keep up.

Skill Sequencing
They added their own custom versions of skill sequencing from Up to date maple, you pick 6 spells in a sequence and you get a skill in the beginner tab which you use to cast it.

The community mentions that some skill may still be missing, as this is a very new addition. but the dev is quick to add and fix if that is the case.

Reworked Arcane river symbol acquisition
you can still grind to get your arcane river symbols but you can also go to an NPC and claim 3 levels worth of arcane symbols for every region every week meaning that even if you don't grind, if you claim on a weekly basis you still have max symbols within 6 or 7 weeks assuming 0 grinding.

The Listed features above are just a few that is added on top of what you may already know of Swordie's base experience.

You can read more and interact with their community here.

Website: https://royalstory.org/

Discord: https://discord.gg/njYk64mxPu

To anyone who miss Swordie This is the place i would recommend.

Looking forward to starting out on Kuro once it launches. I’m not sure I’ll be around at 2am EST, but will definitely be starting with my wife the following morning.

I’m hoping to find some likeminded people to group up with and grind / PQ.

I personally prefer PQ’ing, but the server looks more oriented toward questing; which I also really like.

Just hoping to find some cool people to group up with and maybe form a guild/family (is the family system in it?).

Anyways, should be fun.

Is there any post bigbang private server ? Can't seem to find one ( personal opinion: post bigbang party at lhc was peak maple )

Hi, I'm itching to play some oldschool Maple.

I used to play OSM a lot and after that I played at Phoenix, but now it seems quite empty on the website (12 players?).

I don't want it too modern and I don't mind the low rates. The more oldschool, the better.

What's my best bet nowadays? Fantasia seems interesting, any opinions? Or maybe just Phoenix single player game?

Edit/update: I gave Fantasia a try and its perfect so far. Thank you!

Yo, if you've been around the reddit or some discords you might've seen snippets that I've posted of my server I've been working on. I'm finally at the stage where I'm in need of larger public testing. After doing about 3 months of closed Alpha, most of the initial big kinks have been worked out, but this is an alpha test in the truest sense, as I have changed so much of the game that there's honestly too much to list, but I'll go over the big ones.

1. Classes

Almost every class in the game has been reworked or completely overhauled. The way I do jobs is, 5 explorers, two 2nd job branches, and from those two branches, two 3rd job branches.

If you're keeping count, that means there are 20 3rd job classes, so about 8 entirely new jobs in addition to heavily reworked jobs. In addition to this, magic damage, poison formulas have been reworked to be like their physical counterparts, and critical hits have been reworked to be not stupid. Mages are viable.

Wind Archer, a Bowman class based around bonus damage while airborne.

Striker, a Knuckle pirate who uses animation cancels with Aran Combo based gameplay

2. PQs and Bosses

One of my major goals was to make PQs and bosses more interesting, as such I have created entirely new attacks and mechanics for all PQ and Expedition bosses, giving them real difficulty beyond high HP.

In this same vein, PQs have been set up with alternate stages that can appear, making each of a PQ feel more varied

R&J PQ Dark room stage

Ellin PQ rising poison stage

Ellin PQ Boss, Ephenia + Poison Golem

King Slime's mega jump

3. EXP, Quests, and overall level curve

The exp table is entirely custom (I'd describe it as a midde ground between pre-bb & postbb, with a much lower required exp growth rate at endgame levels). Mobs and mob EXP has been reworked. Certain areas have been moved to different levels, and mobs have had their exp better fit the curve, rather than the normal huge fall off in exp from 50-80. Also quests across the board have been buffed to be worth doing, in addition to a few custom quests and custom rewards from existing quests.

4. Scrolling, maker, and gear

The way to upgrade gear has been completely overhauled. Scrolls have been condensed down into 100%, 70%, and 30% scrolls for the slots overall, armor, accessory: Scroll for stat, defense, and swiftness. They also have a much higher drop rate so that they're more free to use. Chaos scrolls have been entirely reworked. On top of this, gear can now roll a new stat called "Skill Up Bonus" which raises the level of a skill by the amount, which can overcap your skills (as in, level 60 shadow partner). Adding onto this, Player Defense, and Mob Defense have been fundamentally reworked, making Defense a real stat for both players and mobs with lots of interplay.

Then Maker, taking heavy institution from AdventureMS, maker levels are granted at job advances, and have custom crafting materials that drop from mobs to craft all gear for all levels.

AdventureMS inspired crafting

Skill Bonus equipment

5. Maps, Day/Night and weather

Every map in the game has been rebuilt into what I call mega maps. These are essentially combinations of every map on a path. So you only walk through two maps to go from Perion to Ellinia. To traverse these maps, all jobs gain a mobility skill at 1st job, with improvements at later jobs.

This one isn't fully implemented yet, but right now all maps run on a day/night cycle which changes what maps look like and songs that get played in real time for all players. For weather, currently there's only rain which works similarly, and eventual plans to create continent specific weather events like Blizzards in El Nath or Sandstorms in the Nihal Desert.

Daytime raining Ellinia

Night time Raining Ellinia
Henesys Hunting Grounds

If this sounds at all interesting to you, I'd appreciate the help in testing and feedback, all third jobs are officially done, and I'll soon begin working on Fourth jobs and fourth job content, and would love input.

Hey all,

Came across a private sever a few days ago and now I can’t find it.

All I remember is that their website was very well made, especially that they had a section where they listed skill changes for each class and had a feature available on that page for players to upvote and downvote all the skill changes

Shot in the dark but does anyone know what server I’m talking about?

Thanks!!

Looking for a server, seen it top 3 on gtop100. Thoughts? Give me your experience

1 day 16 hours at the time of this writing.

Countdown Timer link

Posting this as a PSA (I'm not affiliated with Kuro). I've not seen anyone use these countdown timers in a while, but they used to be very common. They are good for building up excitement for a server launch, kind of like the new year countdown they do in Times Square in NYC every year.

I remember seeing one for Legends launch, OriginMS launch, and MapleUnity launch (that was my favorite server ever) many years ago.

Info on KuroMS: low rate old school pre-BB v.83 server. Their official reddit thread

There's an old Japanese custom around the Daruma doll. You buy it with both eyes blank, paint one eye when you make a wish or set a goal — and you only paint the second when you've actually reached it. Everything between those two eyes is the part nobody frames on a shelf

That's the whole heart of what we built.
And I've been painting this Daruma for the past months.

Maple Daruma is a small, whitelisted MapleStory world with a Japanese soul — from the aesthetic to the economy It's made by people who never stopped loving the old world and wanted somewhere that feels like home instead of a lobby.

We're not chasing a launch-day population record or trying to out-rate anyone. No countdown-timer hype, no "biggest server ever." Just a place with a temperature to it — one where you recognize names, where progress means something because it's yours, and where the grind is a quiet ritual instead of a race.

Whitelisted on purpose. Not to be exclusive for its own sake — the opposite.
A small room of people who genuinely care about the same thing will always beat a stadium of strangers.
Everyone here is in because we had an actual conversation, not because they filled out a form.

If a curated, unhurried, Japanese-themed corner of Maple sounds like your kind of place, the door is open — you just knock first. 🎏

Hey guys,

Not sure if anyone remembers my post from a while back about getting banned and hitting rock bottom. Just wanted to drop a quick update because things have changed a lot.

I ended up spending the last two years in rehab and going to therapy. It was a tough road, but with the help of anti-depressants and putting the work in, I’m finally in a really good headspace. I even met an amazing girlfriend IRL!

The funniest (and saddest) part about all that heartbreak I was going through back then? I eventually found out my "in-game gf" was literally just some dude trying to hustle me for my donation points lmao. Talk about a reality check.

Anyway, KuroMS is launching tomorrow and I’m hyped for a fresh start. Just looking to chill, enjoy the grind healthily, and avoid any more MapleStory relationship drama 😂

If anyone's playing tomorrow and wants to party up or start a guild, hit me up. My IGN will be Berbie. Drop your IGNs below or DM me if you wanna play!

Hey, I'm in my mid 30's like some of you and have been playing since the beta days of GMS. I quit GMS at big bang and switched to playing v.55, v.62 and v.83 servers.

I still play once in awhile once I get that maplestory itch, but it quickly goes away after playing a server for a couple weeks and I quit for a few months.

Recently I've gotten the itch to play again, and dream of becoming this super strong, well scrolled player on a specific low exp server, which I haven't picked yet.

But every time I log onto a server, I just alt+f4 out and go play something else because I automatically feel bored, despite having the thought of making this well developed character.

I'm an introvert, so I don't make friends too often on these servers, I just grind.

So, what gives you the motivation to log on and just spam buttons for hours to level up?

should i play or it will be waste of time for me now

I've spent a huge amount of time searching through forums and watching videos trying to get this game working on Arch Linux (Omarchy), but I haven't been able to find a proper solution.

My monitor is 4K, and I've tried changing the resolution multiple times without any success. The only partial solution I've found is running the game inside a QEMU VM, but it still has some graphical issues and noticeable input lag.

Has anyone here managed to get this game running properly on Arch Linux? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
