In order to comply with Netherlands regulations, we’d like to give you notice that certain in-game trade functions will need to be limited for Dutch players soon.
The following trade functions will no longer be available once the limitations start:
Dutch players attempting any of the actions listed above will see a pop-up message that lists the guidelines of the limitations.
Please note that although the above measure should be taken to comply with the applicable Dutch law, we are working to hopefully help alleviate any frustration this change might cause you. We hope to share it with you very soon. We apologize for the wait.
Thank you, -The MapleStory Team

Maple Memo: Farewell from Anna
Hi Maplers,
Today’s memo is not about our upcoming game update. Instead, I would like to talk about myself and give you an update on the changes within the MapleStory team.
I’m sad to announce to you that I will be stepping down from my position as a MapleStory Producer as of October 1, as I decided to move back to Korea due to my personal reasons. With this change, one of our other existing MapleStory Producers, Sally; and the Live Game Director, Hyun, will be leading the team and the project from now on.
MapleStory has been a part of my life ever since I joined the MapleStory development team in Nexon Korea back in 2007 so now that I’m writing this memo, I feel like I’m reaching a big turning point in my life.
Among all these years, the best decision that I made was to move to the United States and take on the Global MapleStory Producer position in Nexon America. Thanks to this experience, I was able to work with you more closely and have a better understanding of our player base. It has been a very precious time for me to be able to meet our dedicated players and I’m confident to say that you are the most passionate players and you are the reason why MapleStory and our team exist.
In addition to this opportunity of working closely with you, I was extremely lucky that I was able to work with our current MapleStory team as they all truly love being a part of MapleStory and working for our players. While the changes we make and what we do sometimes make our players disappointed, one thing I can surely say is that our team members consider you to be the most important thing and we all appreciate having you as our players. You will have more chances to hear from our team members about several important topics as they have just started to communicate more with the players through various channels.
Even though I’m leaving, MapleStory will continue to have exciting updates and I’m sure that they will make you thrilled just like how MapleStory has been doing for all these years. I will also give my full support from a distance.
Thank you all for the support that you have been showing me the whole time. It was a great honor to be your Producer.
Thank you, - Anna

Compensation 2x EXP & Drop Event
MapleStory will be running a 2x EXP & Drop Event this weekend as compensation for the instability experienced in the wake of the v225 Goo Island Getaway update. This will run during three 3-hour time slots this weekend, so check the times (and your local timezone) to take full advantage.
We know many of you have been asking about the details for the v.225 instability issues compensation. We’re sorry that we’re sharing the details with you so late, but we’d like to share that there will be a 2x EXP and Drop event this weekend as compensation for the various crashing issues and extended downtime following the v.225 update. As mentioned in the event post, we will be having a 2x EXP and Drop event in all worlds on September 25 and September 26 at the following UTC times.
Please check the post for additional details on the event!
You may be curious why there was not much in the way of compensation updates until now. It took us additional time to finalize the details for the compensation as we also addressed some of the live issues. We wanted to share the details with you after the compensation event was confirmed and tested so that we could make sure everything was working properly first. We understand it may have been frustrating to wait without news, and we would like to thank you for your patience!
We hope you’ll enjoy the 2x EXP and Drop event!
