The Head Start Begins!

October 1, 2018  Updates 



Note (Oct. 8): Players with accounts created through Google are currently unable to log into Nexon Launcher. We are investigating this issue and will update you as soon as we have more information.

Update (Oct. 4): The MapleStory 2 client has been updated to improve error messaging and resolve an issue with MapleStory 2 on Steam not fully closing. This will result in a small download when you next launch MapleStory 2, but will involve no downtime.

Note (Oct. 2): Gifting has been temporarily disabled.

No more betas, no more pre-seasons, no more server wipes. MapleStory 2's Head Start has begun! This special 9-day period allows players with Founder's Packs to get into MapleStory 2 ahead of the rush, enjoy this new dimension of Maple World and see all the sights as early as possible!

We're also giving you a head start on a special event to claim a cute little pet, get first crack at some special items and more! Check out everything happening in Head Start below!
