Lara Details

Lara is a young woman from a small, isolated village, venturing out into the world for the first time to fulfill her people's prophecy. Coming across a small, mystical bell, the young Lara has long been friends with the playful and kind spirits that roam the lands of Narin. As she explores the town filled with thieves, thugs, con artists, the poor and downtrodden, will she falter amidst its dangers... or will her pure heart bring out the best of those that she comes across?



Lara can use her Wand weapon and spells connected to the playful spirits that surround her to protect herself and make Maple World a better place. Her innate connection with the lands help her find and become empowered by Dragon Veins, which can be used to power many of her skills, with powerful effects from Sun, Wind, and River spirits to bless her many spells including devastating Eruption skills.


Check out a few of Lara's joyous skills:







Lara is available for all players today, so create your own and show the world a better way!

[Updated December 1] Flag Race Disconnection Issue

[Updated December 1] As mentioned on our v.228 Hotfixes webpost, the "Night Snowfield" Flag Race and practice courses have temporarily been blocked due to the game client disconnection issues. Players will now be sent to "Daylight Snowfield" instead until December 12.

Hi Maplers,

We received player reports concerning the issue where the game client disconnects when players attempt to enter the Flag Race map after the course changed on November 29 UTC. This disconnection issue is currently under investigation and we ask you to please avoid entering the Flag Race map until this issue has been addressed. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Pink Bean Bulletin - Recent Ban Concerns

Hello,

This post is in regards to recent bans and related community discussion that has occurred surrounding them.

First and foremost, Nexon Player Support and the MapleStory team must be extremely careful in the information we reveal during the ban appeals process, as any insight into the nature of our detection methods may be used to further refine the methods some players may use to violate the Terms of Service. This is why we refrain from commenting on ban-related issues that may crop up in the community.

Recently, an issue with a component in our detection methods designed to identify illegal skill modifications affected some Beast Tamer players in the community. Our team has been continuously reviewing accounts flagged by this component to be vigilant on any new cases of false positives, and players should be able to play Beast Tamer characters without further issue; we encourage any affected Beast Tamers that need further assistance to reach out to the Player Support team by submitting a ticket. We apologize for the inconvenience that this disruption has caused to our Beast Tamer players.

Separately, over the last week, our security team identified a list of accounts to be permanently banned due to illicit activity using third-party programs. This list included multiple accounts which appeared to have been shared among more than one player, and was not limited only to the accounts that actually performed the exploit. As a reminder, account sharing is a violation of the Terms of Service, and all account holders are responsible for any action taken on their account. For additional account security, Maplers can set up two-factor authentication following the steps in this article.

As a follow-up to the above, our security team identified an additional list of players that had benefited from and participated in suspicious trading activity that involved mesos from the aforementioned illicit activity, and issued suspensions for these offenses as well. Both of these lists of players were manually reviewed prior to the sanctions being processed.

I want to provide reassurance that players should be able to enjoy the game normally so long as they uphold the Terms of Service, and our teams will continue to move swiftly to review cases where players may have been banned due to an error. If you need assistance with your account, please feel free to reach out to the Player Support team by submitting a ticket.
