Who can play now?
Founder’s Access is live for players who purchased the Orange Mushroom or Zakum Founder’s Package. This announcement does not state that every package grants early access.
Players can start a Beginner character, explore Maple Island and Victoria Island, follow Warrior, Magician, Bowman or Thief progression, join a party quest, and try Classic World’s Citizenship and Crafting systems.
Launch and package deadlines
The UTC purchase deadline is the conversion of the published PDT deadline, not an additional sale window.
| Milestone | Date or deadline |
|---|---|
| Grand Launch | October 21, 2026. |
| Package purchases and upgrades | October 14, 2026 at 23:59 PDT (October 15 at 06:59 UTC). |

How to claim your items
Claim your Founder’s Package from the in-game mailbox. You need to leave Maple Island before opening the items. After claiming, open the package within 30 days.
The announcement states a claim limit of once per account on each platform: once on the website and once on Steam. It does not describe automatic cross-platform purchases or additional purchase entitlements.
What the package items do
The package items are cosmetic and do not grant stats or bonuses. They can be equipped or used by male and female characters of all jobs. The announcement mentions a hat, effect and outfit set among the contents.
