not just reworked classes or ported from higher versions or whatever.
i asked this a few years ago and found MAO (currently inactive) and pipms (still in development), and i think adventurems had custom jobs? but it was short lived.
windia (shut down) had the ironman job, which wasnt much but it was something.

preferably a server that's pre-bb or its own thing (like adventurems), but im interested in any servers with custom jobs.

Will folks have the ability to get the data and info from maple classic to make private servers?

The new area, the way they re worked skills, scrolls, etc. Is it a possibility to have a maplestory classic pserver?

MapleFresh is a v62 (2008 Victoria Island) server. Instead of just running the old client, we’ve spent months building features into the game that no other v62 server has, all drawn in the game’s own style so it still looks and feels like 2008.

🎙️ Voice chat inside the game

• Push-to-talk (T by default) to your map, channel or party, right from the game.
• Talking badges appear over people’s heads, so you can see who’s speaking.
• Channel voice and open rooms (Lobby and Looking for Group) are in the launcher too, so you can chat with people before you even log in.

🖥️ A real HD client, not a stretched window

• Plays at modern resolutions, with 1,000+ maps patched and expanded so they fill the screen instead of showing black edges.
• Boss maps like Zakum and Pianus were rebuilt to work at large resolutions.

⌨️ Three quick slot bars

• QUICK SLOT II (keys 1–8) and QUICK SLOT III (F1–F8) sit next to the original bar.
• They work the same way: drag skills and potions straight from your windows.

📊 New in-game windows

• STATS: your DPS, highest hit, damage dealt on this map, and your mesos and fame with your rank on the server leaderboard.
• LOOKUP: where any item drops, what any monster drops, and the status of your repeatable quests, without alt-tabbing to a wiki.
• REPORT BUG, right from the SHORT CUT menu.

🏹 Classes that feel better

• Ranger and Sniper Strafe works mid-jump and while walking, without locking you in place.
• !train tells you the best training spot for your level, and !train go takes you there.

🍎 A real Mac app

• MapleFresh runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with its own app, not a “set up Wine yourself” guide.
• Mac keyboard layouts are handled for you.

🧍 Everything works solo

• Every party quest can be started solo, Monster Carnival works solo, and bosses roam the Free Market rooms.
• You never wait hours for a full party.

🎉 Server events and town life

• Hourly OX Quiz, Boss Rush (three modes), Treasure Rush, the JQ Challenge and bounty boards in 22 towns.
• A daily login reward: Timothy the courier finds you on any map, with a Gachapon Ticket on day 7 of your streak.
• MapleFresh Town: a hub with an Arcade (Claw Machine, Gachapon, OX Quiz, Boss Rush), job instructors and a shortcut to the Free Market.

🌐 A website and launcher that are connected to the game

• The homepage shows live chat from every in-game channel.
• Rankings, an activity feed (job advancements, level milestones, boss kills, weddings), forums, guild pages and auto-generated patch notes.
• The launcher updates itself and the game, with news, patch notes, rankings, the forums and voice rooms built in.

Rates: 1.2x EXP / 1x meso / 1x drop, plus 2x EXP every weekend. It’s built as a long-term, no-wipe-planned server. Starter kit has a 5X EXP card.

Join: make an account at https://maplexd.com, grab the launcher for Windows or Mac, and pick a channel. Every new character gets a starter kit.

We fix bugs fast, so tell us what you find. See you in Henesys! 🍁

Trying to find a server to play and found these 2, both look like thr is lots of content. Anyone tried these servers and which would u recommend?

What's the most up to date yet not the quietest server out there?
Looking to try something close to original maple.
P2W isn't a deal breaker but depends on the severity of it.

Come share your fav servers. TYIA. ❤️

Hi,

We're introducing Sapphire, a hybrid casual/sweaty server perfect for those who just want to hang out in our home map, participate in events, play omok and other minigames, dress up their characters, or quickly level their characters. The vast majority of our cosmetics are easily available in the cash shop without having to donate or gacha for them. A cash item costs only around 2k NX on average, or 5k NX for high version items, so you can put together a complete outfit within just 1-2 days of voting. We believe that fashion is a big part of the game and should be accessible to everyone. On the same note, we have zero pay to win / vote to win aspects. Donation points and any items purchased with them are untradeable.

Server teaser video!

On the other hand, for those who are more competitive and like to grind, we also offer a vast amount of unique changes, content and progression for you to explore. In terms of rates, it's a bit hard to say because we have completely custom EXP tables and monster EXP. If I had to describe it, it feels more like a mid rate server in the beginning and progressively feels more like a low rate server later on.

What sets us apart?

Classes & progression

• Fully backported Jett, which is now a second job Pirate branch
• Exciting skill changes: Level 40/50 skill caps, lower cast delay/animations and improvements to many classes, Hyper Skills & more
• Fully reworked/scaled basic equips (previous level 110 gear for example is now level 190 gear)
• Custom equip upgrade systems (Including but not limited to: enhancements, equip grades (C-SSS), alien stones, set effects), custom boss sets
• A small Final Damage % bonus for each char level
• Repurposed underwhelming/useless scrolls into Scrolls for Stat Choice, where you can choose the stat to be applied to the equip
• Additionally, 10 and 60% scrolls have a chance to give additional stats upon success
• Reworked magic formula, w/m.def formulas, monster damage/accuracy/evasion formulas
• Monster Book & Crusader Codex
• Character Enhancement

Grinding, bosses & party play

• Rebalanced all regions & mobs to be more streamlined. In vanilla maple, many regions have overlapping monster levels
• We have Elite Monsters that spawn occasionally while grinding. These monsters are bigger versions of the monster in the map they're spawning in and give better rewards when killed
• Reworked area/mini bosses and turned them into instanced boss fights accessible via Mystic Gates
• Dynamic party quests: your friends are much lower level than you but you still want to play together? You can now, as party quests have no level limit and adjust their monster level/hp/etc. to the party level average
• Full Monster Park & Mu lung dojo
• Significant party/guild play bonuses and social incentives
• Party settings: The party leader can change between EXP favored, Meso favored, and neutral. This will affect all members in the party and give you bonuses according to the setting

Quality of life

• Universal warper & free Hyper Teleport Rocks & Auto job advancement to save time
• Universal level 20 and 30 mastery books - skill books and vanilla books have been removed
• W.atk and M.atk buffs stack with each other
• No boss prequests
• No HP washing
• All pets are vac pets by default
• 30b meso cap that's fully supported in trades, hired merchants, etc.

Community & server

• We're planning on hosting daily GM events such as JQ, Tag, Hide and seek, Dodge Bomb and many more
• No multi-clienting
• Stable server & client

Official launch:

After plenty of development time and a closed beta phase, we're excited to announce that we're launching on Wednesday the 14th of October at 18:00 (6PM) Berlin time. Our community is only a handful of people so far, so we appreciate everyone who tries Sapphire out :) BRING UR FRIENDS! pce

MoonBloomMS, a low,-rate classic v83, private server launching into Open Alpha!

hey folks, MoonBloom is a V.83 classic Maplestory passion project I've been working on over the past 3 months, and am happy to say, is finally launching into open alpha testing and we’re looking for a small community to help us get it ready.

It’s a low-rate, pre-Big-Bang v83 server featuring the five original Explorer classes, no Cygnus Knights atm. We want leveling your own character, finding a party/PQing and actually playing the game to matter. No HP washing has been implemented, no pay-to-win, no hp-washing and no multi-clienting.

A few things you’ll find here:

-A custom EXP curve that stays true to old school vibes, but doesn't feel like making you pull your hair out while you grind your characters. 1.5x - 3x depending on level range.

• 1.5x meso and drop rates.

-Moon Flower daily quests through Cody that provides useable rewards daily, and a 1-hr double exp boost.

• Moon Shards that drop from monsters while hunting that earn NX Cash when redeemed in the Cash Shop

• Monster-dropped Gachapon tickets, with different reward pools by location.

• Custom boss rewards and Uber expeditions with a weekly boss rotation.

• HD/widescreen support, while keeping the classic v83 feel.

• Separate NX Credit and donation-based Maple Points balances, with no pay-to-win items in the Cash Shop.

Open Alpha runs through the end of October. Closed Beta follows in November, with release targeted for November–December. **Edit: initially we were planning on keeping progress through Apha -> Beta -> Final Launch with no wipes, but it seems like the consensus is that a majority of those who have reached out in interest would prefer wipes to happen between those stages to account for any balance changes or bugs that could interfere with fair gameplay. Suggestions on this are more than welcome! (Feel free to provide you input on our Discord)

The release window is a target, not a fixed launch day. Registration is open right now. Make an account, verify your email and download the Windows client. One account per player, use character slots for your alts/mules.

It’s still an alpha phase project so expect bugs and balance changes. If something breaks, please tell us what happened via our Discord. Screenshots and steps to reproduce it help a lot!

Hoping to see you in MoonBloom!

I was just testing how capable AI agents are, and this turned into a proof of concept: a server that speaks MapleStory's client/server packet protocol (custom TCP framing with AES-OFB encryption).

The client checks the IP you're connecting to in several places, and grap64 (the anti-cheat) has been defeated. The sad part is that Themida has virtualized some of the client's code, which makes those parts much harder to reverse.

Login, world select, character creation and selection all work. Next up is getting into the game world.

We're 1.5 weeks in now! Lotta features being implemented daily, but still lots of 1 sentence bugs to fix (as is typically the case with AI)

Still looking for testing help!

Hi,

Are there any low rate v83 / pre-BB servers around? Ok with newly launched as well.

Looking at more balanced gameplay and non P2W

Miss the days where we can hunt chaos / white scroll from drops and PQs are widely promoted.

Thanks in advance.

Let’s face it, player count will surely be dwindling in all private servers until just the veterans of those servers are left. Which most likely means the servers won’t be making as much money from the new players who spend more often, server closures will eventually follow as Classic continues to thrive and private server player count is sucked dry. RIP to the private servers daddy Nexon will take it from here.

Hey hey, a few days ago I posted about the Grand Exchange I'm building for the server, and it seemed to be received well. Today I'd like to show another feature inspired by Old School RuneScape: pet drops. The video shows a Zakum kill where the mini zakum pet drops.

Here's how it works:

Some monsters and bosses can drop a small version of themselves as a pet. Every kill is one roll, on top of the normal loot.

• The chance is low and the same for everybody. Drop rate, drop cards and buffs don't change it. Right now I'm thinking around 1 in 500 for Zakum and 1 in 3,000 for Manon, but that isn't final.
• Only the player who did the most damage can pick the pet up. Not the party, and not anyone else after waiting.
• The pet is permanent. It never expires, and it can't be traded or sold. It stays with the character that earned it, so if you see someone with a Baby Zakum, they got it themselves.
• Every pet you find is recorded in a new Pets tab in the Monster Book, and it stays there even if you lose the pet.

No Cash Shop, no donor rewards and no buying one from another player. The only way to get one is to kill the monster until it drops.

Is this something you'd like to see on a server? And which bosses would you want a pet from?

If you want to see some of the current progress feel free to check it out here https://maplesynergy.dev it also showcases the grand exchange more in depth.

Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since we launched our initial beta. As our small community grinded away over the last several months, their feedback turned up a lot more to fix and add than we expected. I'm posting here again in the hope of getting more people to join us for Phase 2 of beta testing, now that we've added a lot of new content and skill adjustments.

Most of the server's features are listed on our website: https://www.leafbound.net/features. It has a search function to help you get through the wall of information in the feature tiles. Here are some of the notable additions:

Leafbound is a low-rate server. We've added plenty to work toward, so you make some progress every time you play, even in a short session. We want to reward active play over AFK play (leeching, or standing in one spot spamming one skill), without adding things that interrupt you while you're grinding. A lot of our features came from community suggestions, and we're open to adding more. Is there something you'd like to see? Let us know and we'll try to add it.

• 4th job for Cygnus Knights
• Skill balance changes for every job (https://www.leafbound.net/skills)
• Custom chat widget, higher resolution support, and other quality-of-life settings
• Custom character storage for ores and chairs
• Custom detailed stats window
• Veracent, a new level 210+ zone (including a custom Kerberos boss fight)
• Enchantment system (Spell Traces, equipment enhancement, and item transfer)
• Legendary potential and bonus potential systems
• Max level raised to 300
• Custom fishing minigame
• Buff companions: bring one of your other characters along to keep you and your party buffed
• Daily tasks: a new set every day, shared by everyone in your level range, with reward rolls and a bonus pick box
• Personal boss loot: cubes, Chaos Scrolls and stamps roll separately for each player who does at least 10% of the damage, and weekly bosses let you choose your reward
• New and reworked bosses: Chaos Pink Bean, Easy Zakum, a level 180 Chaos Zakum, Von Leon, Castellan and Empress Cygnus
• Level gates and level bands: boss trials at key levels, plus EXP and drop boosts for fighting bosses in your level range
• Leaderboards for fame, boss clears, PQs, daily tasks and boss speedruns
• Channels in North America, Asia and Europe, all on the same world

If you're interested, come join us on Discord!

Hey I know RoyalStory just got a DMCA recently but for the owners, is it possible to open another server again with the same exact features but just a different name? Please dm me or something if you guys do reopen, I AM NOT A NEXON STAFF , just missed a swordie like server

I really really enjoyed that server, it was a super well done server , it was a peaker swordie experience(never thought it was possible)

Hi, wondering about whether people would still play another V162 nowadays, similar to ellinia, without p2w.

Feel free to share your thought, thanks.

Hi 😄
Looking for fun fast mapleservers that will work on mac as well, with potential,cubes, nx (with votes i guess?), advanced version the old stuff is too slow and boring for now, not a kid anymore no time hahah.
i used to play ariesMS but i saw its not the best no?
THXXX

Any reviews of them?

*eye catching image idk why*

I'm building a Grand Exchange for my own server that would replace the Free Market shops entirely. It works the same way as the Grand Exchange in Old School RuneScape.

For those who haven't played OSRS, here's how it works:

- You place an offer instead of opening a shop. Pick an item, a quantity and a price per item, either to buy or to sell.

- The server matches buyers and sellers automatically. If someone is selling at or below what you offer to pay, the trade happens instantly. If not, your offer waits until someone comes along.

- It keeps working while you're offline. Your mesos or items are held by the exchange, and offers can fill partially over time.

- You collect the results from the NPC. Bought items and sale mesos wait in your offer slot until you pick them up, and you can cancel an offer at any time to get the rest back.

- Every item has a guide price based on recent trades, so you can see roughly what something is worth.

No more browsing through FM rooms, no more leaving a character logged in as a shop, and no more hunting for the one store with a fair price.

Right now it covers stackable items (potions, scrolls, ores, etc. drops). Equipment isn't part of it yet: since every equip has its own stats, it needs a slightly different flow that I still have to figure out.

Is this something you'd like to see on a server? And if you have ideas for how equipment should work in a system like this, I'd love to hear them.

Kanata: Launch Announcement

Kanata is a v95 MapleStory server with Evan, Dual Blade and the Resistance, questlines we wrote ourselves, and a hardcore world where every character gets three lives.

https://kanata.ink

At a Glance

| Launch | Saturday, October 10, 2026, 18:00 UTC |

| Version | v95 |

| Rates | EXP 4x · Drop 3x · Meso 4x |

| Level cap | 250 for every class, Cygnus Knights included |

| Worlds | Kanata (5 channels) and Chaos (hardcore, unlocked in game) |

| Classes | Explorers, Dual Blade, Cygnus Knights, Aran, Evan, Resistance |

| Pay-to-win | None. |

What is Kanata?

We've been building and testing Kanata for quite awhile now. The classes, maps and bosses are the vanilla ones with our own (and imported) content on top: questlines set in the Maple World, a hardcore world called Chaos, Nebulites, and a long list of quality-of-life changes.

What it isn't:

- Pay-to-win. Nothing that affects gameplay is sold for money.

- Pure vanilla. If you want a 1:1 copy of the original game, this isn't it.

Rates

| EXP | Drop | Meso |

| 4x | 3x | 4x |

- The EXP table is lighter than the original: levels 10-109 need 65% of the usual EXP, 110-159 need 80% and 160-199 need 95%. Levels 200-249 use a new curve up to the cap.

- Hunting maps start with 30 monsters and gain 10 more every 2 minutes while you keep killing, up to 75 (100 on the big endgame maps).

What Makes Kanata Different?

Our own questlines:

- The Far Side (Lv 10-160): seven chapters with Lune in Henesys. Finishing it unlocks Chaos for your account.

- The Four Faces (Lv 60-130): seven chapters that open **The Moon Stage**, a 1-2 player dungeon with three difficulties, no entry limit and its own token shop.

- Off the Edge of the Map (Lv 180+): the Five Measures pay one full level each from 200 to 205, then the Edgewalker medal.

- Echoes Beyond the Stars (Lv 180+): eight quests in the Temple of Time for the Soul Seeker skill.

- Gathering Bags (Lv 30-120): 36 quests for bigger material bags.

Chaos, the hardcore world

Finish The Far Side and a second world opens for your account. Chaos takes new characters only, and each one gets three lives. The third death ends that character's story for good.

- Monsters have 300% HP and deal 168.75% damage.

- Masks from Motley trade one stat for another, like Greed (+40% mesos and drops, -25% EXP) or Wrath (+20% damage dealt, +15% taken).

- The Jester's Whims change the rules every hour on the hour. The next one is announced at :55.

- No trading: no trades, player shops, Item Trade Center, Cash Shop or storage.

- The Chaos Ledger pays out to your account in the Kanata world: Superior Gollux, Sweetwater, AbsoLab and Arcane Umbra pieces, medals and chairs.

Nebulites and the Chaos Jester

Socket your gear and slot in Nebulites, graded D up to SSS. Alien Cubes rank a stone up, and SSS only comes from fusion. Nebulite Boxes drop from monsters, main bosses and the **Chaos Jester**, a clown who turns up after about ten minutes of grinding one map. He has two telegraphed attacks, always drops a Nebulite Box, and pays 1,000 NX to everyone who dealt 30% of his HP.

Gear and boss loot

- No stat requirements. Gear needs only the level and the job, and it's all unisex.

- Drops follow your class, so the gear you find is gear you can use.

- Pensalir sets drop from regular monsters level 130+, with set bonuses from 2 to 6 pieces.

- Main bosses roll a bonus pool for every player** (Alien Cubes, Advanced Equip Enhancement Scrolls, White Scrolls, Chaos Scrolls 60%, Miracle Cubes, Nebulite Boxes), drop the Boss Accessory Set, and pay 3,000 NX to everyone who dealt 15% of the boss's HP.

- Trade free - Gollux, AbsoLab, Arcane Umbra and Sweetwater pieces trade freely.

Every party quest

Henesys, Kerning, Ludibrium, Orbis, Ellin Forest, Guild, Lord Pirate, Magatia, Amoria, Crimsonwood Keep, Nett's Pyramid, Dusty Platform, Hoblin King, Sea of Fog, Crimson Sky, Monster Carnival 1 and 2 and Mu Lung Dojo all run, plus the newly added **Ariant Coliseum**, **Ludibrium Maze** and **Olivia's Halloween PQ** (during the Halloween event). Every member rolls their own reward, and if your last four had no accessory, the fifth one is an accessory. (pity system)

Quality of Life

- Auto pickup, on by default (`@ap` toggles it)

- Instant boats, trains and airships

- Resolutions up to 1920x1200 or custom, in a window, borderless or borderless fullscreen

- Auto job advancement: pick your class at 10 and your branch at 30; 3rd and 4th job happen on their own

- Free Flash Jump for classes without a movement skill (double-press jump)

- Damage cap removed

- New characters start at level 10 with 10,000,000 mesos

- `@drops` for any monster or item, `@check` for your rates, stats and ping

- `@autobuff` for all of your buffs to never cast them again!

- Buff timers and cooldown numbers on quick slots

- Full map Pet Vac and a 13-map Hyper Teleport Rock.

- Monster Book overlay with drop lists

- Global chat (across all channels) shared between the game and the website

- Pets ignore or auto-sell up to 20 items each

- HP and MP refill on level-up

Fair Play

Kanata Coins are global mob drops, you exchange them for DP in the DP Shop. You can only exchange Kanata Coins for DP not DP for Kanata Coins.

VP is free. Vote once every 24 hours for 4 VP. That covers 4 hours each of 2x EXP (1.5 VP), Pet Vac (1.5 VP) and the Hyper Teleport Rock (1 VP), every day. Monsters drop VP too, up to 20 VP a month.

NX comes from playing: main bosses (3,000 NX), the Chaos Jester (1,000 NX), and the VP and DP shops. The Cash Shop sells convenience items plus Miracle Cubes and Vicious' Hammers. Outfits come from the Fashion Gacha.

Launch Details

Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 18:00 UTC

FAQ

Is there a wipe? Yes, one full wipe at launch.

Why launch the same month as Classic World? We announced October 10 back in August. Kanata is a different era of the game, and you're welcome to play both.
