Hi Maplers! Welcome to the Global MapleStory Classic World Closed Online Test. This is a huge moment for us to have our players hop on the game and get feedback from the community before the official launch.

So what’s the goal here? We want you to explore as much as you can. Some things will feel familiar and some things have been changed or are brand new! Fight enemies, try out the jobs, explore the islands, test the systems, and most importantly, tell us what you think.

We want to know what works, what doesn’t and what we may have missed that could make your Global MapleStory Classic World experience even better. Here’s how you can share your feedback:

• Join our official MapleStory Discord - We have Closed Online Test channels where you can share your feedback, suggestions, and discuss anything you experience during Closed Online Test with other testers!
• Found a bug? Report them over in our Discord Closed Online Test bug-reports channel .
• Player Support is available for technical and account-related issues only. If you’re running into something related to that you can submit a ticket here .
• When the Closed Online Test is over, we’ll be sending out a survey to gather your feedback as well!

April 14, 2026 - April 23, 2026 11:59 PM UTC

We want to support you during the Closed Online Test, so we prepared a starter gift to help kick off your playtest journey when you create a new character during the Closed Online Test period!

April 14, 2026 - April 23, 2026 11:59 PM UTC

As you explore Maple Island and Victoria Island, reach level milestones to unlock quests and earn exclusive rewards along the way! We want to encourage you to push through the content and see how far you can get. Quests will be available to complete on specific dates during the Closed Online Test period.

Note: Accounts that complete the ‘[Event] A Strange and Familiar Wood’ and ‘[Event] Beyond the Unknown’ quests will be able to claim the same rewards again at the official launch of Classic World.

On April 21, a brand new area called Forgotten Hollow will unlock. Explore the new area and let us know what you think!

April 14, 2026 - April 23, 2026 11:59 PM UTC

This event is all about exploring, grinding, testing out your job and skills! As you fight enemies and explore different areas, monsters will drop letters that you can collect and exchange for Leaf Points. It’s the currency you'll use to test items out in the Cash Shop. Think of this as an opportunity to try out your skills, test different mobs, and let us know how it feels overall!

During the Closed Online Test period, the Cash Shop will have its own currency called Leaf Points. Explore the Cash Shop to its fullest, browse around, and try things out because Fashion Story might just be end game!

For the Closed Online Test, we’ve set the price for all items in the Cash Shop to be 100 Leaf Points so you can have the opportunity to try out as many items as possible with the Leaf Points you earn from events. Cash Shop prices in Closed Online Test are not final and what you see is for testing purposes only and are subject to change before the official launch. Have suggestions or feedback about the Cash Shop? How about a Leaf Point for your thoughts? Send them our way HERE.

Hair and Face Coupons will have different rotations. Check out what’s available for each rotation below!
