MapleStory Classic World Store

Registration for Test 2 of MapleStory Classic World has just ended. Did you successfully submit your application?

According to Nexon's official announcement, MapleStory Classic World is not a simple remake of the old version, but rather a long-term, classic server built around the core of Pre-Big Bang MapleStory.

The official statement clearly states that MapleStory Classic World will retain the core experience of MapleStory from the 2000s, while incorporating modern server technology to provide more stable QoL optimization for both new and veteran players.

This Closed Online Test 2 will run from August 4th to August 12th. During these 8 days, you will witness the birth of new content and gameplay. The feedback from all participating players before the official launch is invaluable.

The global release is expected at the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027. So, what do we know before then?

Core Gameplay

The biggest difference between MapleStory Classic World and the traditional version is the sacrifice of leveling speed, making each level more valuable. Team play, monster kills, and quest completion have become the primary ways for players to progress.

This adjustment is based on the developers' desire to restore the feeling of spending hours in the game just to level up, a feeling common in early games, rather than the cycle of quickly reaching max level and then entering a boring late-game phase.

Classic Team Gameplay

The developers have focused on restoring Kerning City Party Quest, where players form a 4-person team to solve puzzles and defeat monsters for a final reward.

Your team composition can be chosen based on complementary classes, as some monsters have specific damage resistances or weaknesses. Therefore, class diversity within the team is crucial for completing the quest.

Furthermore, in addition to Kerning City Party Quest, similar quests may be added in the future, such as Ludibrium PQ and Orbis PQ.

Job Advancement System

In Closed Online Test 2, you will have Third Job Advancement. For example, if you are a Warrior, after changing jobs to Fighter, you can change jobs again to Crusader after meeting certain conditions (reaching level 70).

When your character reaches level 10 and makes their first job change, it is also the time you need to leave the initial map.

Map Content

MapleStory Classic World currently has three main areas open, with Orbis and El Nath in Ossyria being new additions in Test 2:

1. Maple Island

This is the area where all characters begin their adventure and the starting point for players to experience the classic MapleStory.

According to official information, Classic World aims to recreate the early MapleStory experience while incorporating some modern optimizations; therefore, Maple Island is expected to retain its classic structure.

Here you can complete the tutorial, learn basic movement and combat, collect your first Item and Currency, familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each job and make a choice… After completing these, you can then proceed to Victoria Island for exploration.

It's important to note that Classic World continues the economic system of Pre-Big Bang era. Mesos are even more important than in modern Maple Island, so you'll need to carefully manage your items, potions, and skill upgrades.

Before leaving Maple Island, it's best to stock up on enough Mesos, some basic potions, and necessary items to cope with the significantly stronger monsters in Victoria Island.

If you run out of money while exploring the map after the game launches, you can buy MapleStory Classic World Mesos from EZG.com. We will provide players with the best prices and the safest and fastest service to ensure a smooth leveling journey.

2. Victoria Island

Classic maps in the game include:

• Henesys
• Ellinia
• Perion
• Kerning City
• Lith Harbor

In these areas, you will encounter classic monsters such as Snails, Green Mushroom, Pigs, and black Axe Stumps.

3. Ossyria

Orbis

Official promotional images for Test 2 suggest this is a sky city, potentially introducing space travel, exploration of cloud areas and Orbis Tower, and even new aerial enemies.

El Nath

This is a pristine snow-capped mountain region, possibly inhabited by high-level ice monsters.

Original Endgame Area

Forgotten Hollow, the first completely unique area in MapleStory Classic World, features ten new monsters, NPCs, and exclusive questlines. You need to reach level 39 to find Forgotten Hollow, speak with a cave fairy named Zelya, and complete the quest to find map fragments for her.

The final boss, Rotten Mushmom, level 60, is weak to Holy and Fire, and is resistant to poison; you can target him with specific attacks.

Forgotten Hollow proves that MapleStory Classic World is not just a simple remake of the old version, but rather retains traditional design while incorporating modern new content.

In short, successfully registering and receiving an official invitation to participate in MapleStory Classic World Closed Online Test 2 is undoubtedly fortunate. Behind this good fortune lies the trust of all players, both new and old, and a sense of responsibility for the final content adjustments in the game.

Even based on the details revealed so far, Classic World's charm and entertainment value are already shining through, making the upcoming release one of the most highly anticipated experiences!
