What Is Maplestory?

MapleStory is a free, 2D, side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the South Korean company Wizet. Several versions of the game are available for specific countries or regions, and each is published by various companies such as Wizet and Nexon. MapleStory has a combined total of over 50 million subscriber accounts in all of its versions. Players exist in the Maple World, defeating monsters and developing their character's skills and abilities as is typical in role-playing games. You can also interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading, and playing minigames called Party Quests. Groups of players can band together in parties to hunt monsters and share the rewards. Players can also join a guild to interact more easily with each other.

I see people with cool hair and clothes. How do I get them?

Though MapleStory is free, you can also enhance gameplay by purchasing an ingame currency called Nexon Cash (NX) with real life money. Players can then spend the Nexon Cash on things such as clothes, pets, and EXP/DROP rate modifiers and other items.

5,000 = 5 USD
10,000 = 10 USD
25,000 = 25 USD

30,000 = 30 USD

Can I sell my in-game items for Nexon Cash?

You can also use your NX to purchase/sell equipment/other ingame items in the Maple Trade System (MTS). Please note that the MTS is server-wide so you can buy items from players in other servers too.

How many classes are there? What do they do?

There are currently 7 Classes out, if you count all versions of MapleStory. There is the Bowman, which uses bows and crossbows, the Thief which consists of daggers claws and throwing stars, the Magician which uses wands, staffs, and magic, the Warrior which uses swords, poles, and alot more, the Pirate which uses knuckles and guns, Knights of Cygnus which are a knighthood that serve the empress Cygnus, and last but not least the Aran which has only just been released in Korean MapleStory.

People keep saying things like OPQ and LOL, what do they mean?

If you look in Slang/Terms you will find a list. Try pressing CTRL+F(find) and type the term you saw, and then you can easily find it.

I see people in guilds, how do I get one?

You can either ask a member of a guild to put you in it, or you can create one. (see Guilds for more information)
