Mapler Appreciation Events
As a continuation of the 2x and 3x EXP events last week as a “thank you” to the MapleGlobal community for sticking with Nexon throughout the turbulence of the last few months, Nexon has rolled out another week of EXP events, giveaways, and Cash Shop sales. Needless to say, we’re impressed that Nexon is following through on their promises and legitimately trying to engage the community with some pretty cool (and useful) events. Let’s hope Nexon will continue these weekly events in good times and bad, because it’s brought a Mapler like myself (who has been playing since MapleGlobal beta was released in 2004) back to the game and friends from long ago are starting to take notice through the MapleStory Facebook and Twitter pages. Finally using Social Media the right way. We approve.
Check out some of the events you can look forward to until April 11 below.

Nexon VP Min Kim Releases Announcement to MapleStory Community
In response to the stability issues in MapleStory over the past week and a half, Min Kim, VP of Live Games for Nexon America, released an announcement apologizing and thanking maplers for “sticking with us through all the difficulties,” adding, “Your unwavering support is what keeps us going.”

GMS: A Sincere Apology to Our Community
On Friday an official announcement was posted on the MapleGlobal website regarding the server crashes resulting in lost mesos and items. Although apologetic, the reasons behind the server crash was vague and hinted at being caused by more than just hardware malfunctions (Nexon is currently involved in several lawsuits with hacking websites). You can read the official announcement below.
Dear Maplers,
Over the last few days MapleStory has experienced intermittent server instabilities that have interrupted many players’ opportunities to play MapleStory. The cause of the issue was a result of malfunctions of certain server hardware. To identify problematic areas we had to keep the servers online despite the inconveniences our players endured, and for that we greatly apologize.
Because players lost items and mesos during the server instability, in addition to abusers trying to take advantage of the situation, MapleStory will be restored to a previous status point of 8PM Pacific on Tuesday, January 24. All items, experience and transaction gained between the restore point and before the maintenance will be overwritten. We found this to be the only method to rectify the influx of economy damaging goods.
As a thank you for your patience and loyalty we will be providing all players affected by the instability and the restore point several items and events.
As a thank you for your patience and loyalty we will be providing all players affected by the instability and the restore point the following items and events:
- All NX spent between 8PM Pacific, January 24 to 3PM Pacific, January 27 will be returned.
- Players who were logged in between 8PM Pacific, January 24 to 3PM Pacific, January 27 will receive 5,000 Maple Points.
- 48 hour Cash item extension on top of the 48 hour extension that was previously applied (total of 96 hours).
- 3x EXP and Drop starting from the end of the maintenance today to the end of the day Friday, February 3. The event will run during all hours of the event days.
- The Evolving Ring III event will be extended to February 6.
The first three of the following items will be available for one character per world on your account if the character was created before 8PM, January 24, so make space and choose which character wisely! The two Cash items will be available for one character on your account if the character was created before 8PM, January 24.
- 10 free AP points
- 1 Storm Growth Potion. This item instantly raises your character one level.
- 4 free slots in each section of your item inventory
- 1 Hyper Teleport Rock (7 Days)
- 1 Premium Cash Shop Surprise
You will receive a message from the Maple Administrator upon logging in to a character to collect the first three above, and your character must be level 15 or higher to receive them. You will receive a message in the Cash Shop to collect the two Cash items. You will be able to collect these items until the end of the day Friday, February 3.
Thank you, Maplers, for bearing with us during this time. We hope you enjoy all the events and items made available to help recover your Maple journey!
- The Maple Team -
Since the fall of last year there have been a lot of server crashes, rollbacks, and a huge influx of hackers into the community. Needless to say, things are not the same. The community is not the same and every forum, fan site, Twitter account, and Facebook page you visit about MapleStory there is a sense of helplessness and concern. We all hoped for better in the New Year, but that hope is beginning to fade.
Whether or not this is the result of hackers, incompetence from Nexon staff, or all of the above we as a community must make it clear that things must change if this game is to survive.
What changes do you think Nexon should make in 2012 to bring MapleGlobal back to its former glory? Tell us in the comments.
