MapleLegends contains skill changes for balancing reasons! For more info click here

History: The development of MapleLegends began in August 2014 with the goal of creating the most nostalgic and functional pre-Big Bang MapleStory gameplay experience to date. Our development, production, and execution have attempted to resemble GMS 2008 as preciously as possible, with many of our features and NPC text matching GMS exactly. MapleLegends moved from Alpha into Closed Beta in December 2014, from Closed Beta into Open Beta in late January 2015, and officially went live on April 1st, 2015.

MapleLegends has gone through many, many changes, and is now over 8 years old. While it is no longer *exactly* like GMS was, it now has many custom Quality of Life changes, balancing tweaks to make every job more exciting to play, tweaks towards AFK leeching, tweaks towards "HP washing", and more. MapleLegends will remain to provide a great experience for those that want to go back in time, but also provide something for the people that stay. That way, MapleLegends can live on for many more years, and is now older than what the official "pre-bb" MapleStory ever was!

Features: MapleLegends has numerous features with many never before seen in any pre-Big Bang server to date. These include, but are not limited to: Cash Shop interfaces (gifting, storage, rings, pets, every item working), Merchant Interfaces (Owl of Minerva, GMS Fredrick/Hired Merchants), Mini-Games (Omok, Match Cards), Skills (every skill working), Quests (every quest working), Party Quests (Henesys, Kerning, Ludibrium, Ludibrium Maze, Orbis, Herb Town/Pirate, Guild Quests), and much much more. All of our content is tested countless times before being released, so you will know that you are experiencing a high-quality and polished product when exploring the world of MapleLegends.

Region-Friendly: In addition to the maps from GMS, MapleLegends also offers access to fully translated maps, monsters, and quests that were only available in other MapleStory regions. This brings nostalgia to players who played other MapleStory Regional Servers as well. For example, MapleLegends currently has Shanghai and Thailand from MapleSEA, along with Taiwan (Ximending) and Night Market from MapleStory Taiwan. The MapleLegends team will continue to work hard to bring new content that is nostalgic for people all around the world.

Stability: While lag may be part of a nostalgic experience, MapleLegends sees this as an aspect that negatively affects gameplay. This is why we offer you one of the most stable servers to date. MapleLegends has a record uptime of 54 days without lag spikes, crashes, or server freezes. Stability is one of the most important goals at MapleLegends, since we want players to be able to play the game smoothly. To achieve this, we have a dedicated server and a very polished server code to ensure that the server allows for hundreds of players to play without interruptions.

No Pay2Win: While we are an old MapleStory server, we do not offer any "Pay2Win" content. All the players are equal and there are no advantages between a donor or a regular user. We do not offer cubes, potential cubes, or any other item that has ruined the current MapleStory. MapleLegends has all "NX" equips available in-game for free and available for all users, with the exception of a few items available to donors. These items are cosmetic only and do not give any advantages.

No Vote2Win: Vote2win is a term in the Private Server community where the rewards from voting on GTOP is so good that you can quit for months while still voting and come back with a lot of stashed rewards and Mesos. In MapleLegends there's no such thing, so playing is better rewarded than voting. Voting on MapleLegends is for cosmetics, owls, and other small things. Also, cash items cannot be traded like the original game, which means that rewards from voting cannot be exchanged for Mesos. By doing this we reward people actually playing our server, and also make people that vote multiple times not have a huge benefit. Gachapon Tickets cannot be bought from the Cash Shop, and only drop from mobs in 2 tiers.

No Hackers: MapleLegends is powered by a functional anti-cheat, making sure no hackers or cheaters enter the server for long periods of time. MapleLegends has been a proud hacker-free server for over 2 years, and every person that attempts to use memory editing tools, or ways that provide unfair advantage gets easily stopped before it affects the game. That way, you can play in peace without seeing constant hacking activity.

No RWT / No Real World Trading (RWT) / No Real Market Trading (RMT): MapleLegends provides the strongest and most protection against any sort of Real World Trading. Since 2022, we have stopped 95% of all the Real World Trading activity among all the publicly available services, as well as private services. As such, almost every active Real World Trading service, middleman, or private seller has closed their service and moved on to different servers. We take Real World Trading very seriously and take any actions towards anyone attempting to do so. When playing in MapleLegends we make sure you will NOT be overtaken by someone that pays a seller thousands of real-world currency in order to get ahead of the other.

Skill balancing: While v0.62 is a great Old School version it had a lot of balancing issues. MapleLegends offer skill balance changes that altered the values of a few skills. Paladins are very usable and not the worst job and Shadowers can use Boomerang Step of hills, unlike the real game around the time. For all information about our skill changes click here and look for the 'Skill Changes' category.

Community: Due to our low rates we have one of the most mature and friendly communities out there, ready to help you out and play together with you. If you begin your journey into MapleLegends alone, expect to make new friends very quickly, and enjoy the adventure together.

Conclusion: MapleLegends is the solution if you've been wishing that you could re-experience pre-Big Bang MapleStory in its prime. To learn even more about our server, please visit our website and join today: www.maplelegends.com

Cant recommend always have to redownload THE WHOLE game over and over again, dont have discord server dont have patch in the MapleLegend folder literally nothing, no community to ask something for, active player base but as you knew almost everyone of these wanabee 2005-2008 tryhard community are to cool to answer and the most funny thing is they play a oldschool server but look like the players of the normal MapleStory server of nowadays. This im 50 yrs old but I like 10 yrs old look a like style is really quacked up. Cant recommend.

We do have a Discord server which is found at Discord.gg/MapleLegends We cant provide the Discord link on the website anymore because its against the rules. There were two patches and that was to fix complaints we had of the Anniversary Events. We cannot provide a patcher because we have a lot of MAC users and anti viruses keep eat the game client. All of that trouble is not worth it for 2gb of files when the official servers are currently sitting at 35gb.

Im certainly enjoying this server as I was banned from mapleroyals. The contents are just good enough for me to have fun but would seek to increase the drop rates or increase channel numbers. Not that i am comparing and complaining but would appreciate if these can be considered. Thank you for the service and wish the server to continue longer. Thanks for your hardwork Kimmy. Stay healthy and happy

I started with my little brother back in the day, and now Ive been playing here since 2015, early 16, and im still playing it untill today. I rarely review things, but this time , i think i have to. its a server that helped me a lot in maintaining my sanity during difficult times, and Im happy that the server has grown to this point. Its a place with super dedicated little team who are targets of a lot of hate comments, mainly from those who were caught violating the rules with RWT, account sharing, etc. Despite having many things quite "outdated", despite the delays updates, fixes and events are delivered with great care, and for me, thats what matters. If you are in doubt, i recommend trying this server, you willl be surprised by the number of people willing to dedicate their own time to help you in everything. Have in mind that is not a easy game/newbie friendly, u will not make ur character and start rushing bosses or leveling up 10 lvls in 1 hr like in other servers. Each second and efford invested in your character matters, and thats what differ from the other servers in my opnion. I recommend that you join a popular guild as soon as possible, it will help you a lot get the informations that u need ,and experience this community, which is super passionated and friendly.

Ive played for years. They just permanently ban me without valid reason. Seriously, my wife and I played hours and hours for this nostalgia game server. We make achievement to reach level 100. Then suddenly we both got ban with our IP when we tried to login. Tried ways to reach out to their admin, but there arent any way we can reach out to them. Extremely disappointed all the hard work just wasted like this. My Ign is Chateraise. Admin if you see this please do something about it.

If you are someone who can stop to smell the flowers appreciate the simpler things in life value freedom and enjoy roleplaying in Maple as a common yokel then this is the best Maple server hands down If you are highly competitive or seek complex gameplay that rewards mechanics technical skill and general mastery then look elsewhere because ML is pretty stale in these areas ML is like the Toyota of MS servers Its not the most exciting but its old and reliable Running for 8 years with no signs of stopping speaks volumes to the dedication and hard work of the Staff and its community Overall a player can feel more confident about investing time into ML due to its stability over other private servers At the end of the day the best thing any maple server can offer is community and connection Despite MLs many downsides I believe its the best PS for this reason

A bit about myself. I have been on the server for six years. My main characters are a bishop (L.200) and a bowmaster (L.176). The server runs. It is robust. There are few glitches. ML promotes players to do boss runs at the endgame. However, the amount the player can profit from fighting bosses as opposed to grinding independently or selling leech is uneven due to the server actively marginalizing them. For example, several popular training maps have been nerfed, such as Ulu Estate 1 and 2, Shaolin Temple, and others. Events are always late to start. Conceptually, all events are a form of collecting points by killing monsters in order to buy a chance to get a good item. The fact that the only way to get good items (WS, chairs, etc.) is by pure luck and not by merit is a major flaw in the design of these events. ML has a degrading economy. Items have become prohibitively expensive. A good example is the price of CS, it cost 60M mesos in 2018, today it costs near 340M. This issue has been acknowledged by the server but not handled correctly. In short, WS and CS became untradable but could be

Wonderful private server that stays true to the nostalgic old school maple story experience. Maple Legends boasts a great community with active staff that uphold ToS for all players to have a fair and fun playing experience. There is improved quest exp, the original explorer classes including pirate, and many OG quests that we all love to partake in. There are many in game resources and guides and players quite often help new players out. There are also periodic balance changes that are released to make the game more enjoyable while preserving the old school playstyle for all. Content like Pink Bean for example is released and is tailored to be a challenge that is attainable with old school gear. The game is also quite active on all time zones, and it is fairly easy to find players eager to run content with at all hours of the day. Dont let the negative reviews sway you, as they are probably from the few players who broke the rules and want to find an outlet to vent. Overall, great experience and can wholeheartedly recommend.

I am really sad to say that I am not enjoying here. Hardly anyone is playing here. Everywhere I go, I see empty maps with only a few characters that look like they are just there to help their main characters. It feels really lonely and boring because there are not enough players. The servers are acting up. I keep getting DC or the game lags a lot, which makes it hard to play. It is sad when im trying to do quests or grind and I keep getting kicked out of the game or freeze. Some of the other players are not very nice either. They are not friendly and they do not want to play with me unless I have a special thing called HP Wash It is like they are forcing me to do something I do not want to do just to be able to play with them. It is not fair and it makes me feel left out. There are also too many buff mules, which are characters that players make just to help their main characters get stronger. It is confusing and makes the game feel less enjoyable because it is not fair for people who do not have buff mules. And some players say I have to HP Wash too, which means I have to make my character stronger in a certain way, but I do not want to do that nor i do i have time to do that either with these small x rates. Another thing is that the game has events that are supposed to be fun, but they keep getting postponed or changed. It is sad because I was looking forward to playing those events, but then they do not happen when they are supposed to. Lastly, the people who are in charge of the game do not seem to handle things well. When I report problems or bugs, they do not always fix them quickly or at all. It feels they are doing a bad job of taking care of the game and making it better for all. Right now, because of the low population, unstable servers, unfriendly players, pressure to HP Wash, too many buff mules, postponed events, and problems with the staff, I can only give it one star. I hope things get better, but right now, i am moving to another server.

I’ve been a part of this server since 2018 and have never once felt the need to find a new server. The server’s longevity, the friends you can make, the bonding and feeling of community is awesome. Come try out this server, you might make new friends, find a lover (Maple dating sim is real), or get into a heated political debate and end up never speaking to someone who you thought was your friend. 100/10 MapleLegends is real life.

This server is by far the best MapleStory PS ever. Those who are complaining are not accustomed to the difficulty of how Old School MapleStory was. I would place my bets that 10 years from now Legends will be the only server still standing. A lot of servers shut down. Kimmy imho is the most passionate MapleStory admin there is, shes the bomb diggity 100 percent. MapleLegends 4 LYFE, Im 30 have multiple businesses and will still be playing 20 years from now even at age 50. ML is the best hands down! Those who really want the nostalgia to kick in this is the server. The most controlled economy vs other inflated servers imo in comparison. Kimmy its yo boy EroticKun notice me senpaiiiii xoxo youre the best Kimmy!!!!

Worst server ever. Not only the website lies about its population, the server is practically dead. You barely find a single player in Victoria Island, Orbis etc. I found the most people 6 to 12 in PQ lobbies such as ludibrium PQ, Orbis PQ etc. In other servers you find 20-40 players in main towns of Victoria Island. The reason the server has so many players is because of all the buff mules, because you can teleport yourself inside FM with a single click, which makes buffing easier. The gameplay felt lonely. The Admin and community is also very rude in forums. The game doesnt support macOS system really, you still have to use parallels, crossover etc to play it, which didnt even work for me when i tried to play Legends . There is RWT, hackers but the Admin wont admit it really, there are tons of forums where you can get items and mesos with real money.

Been lurking on Kimmy for awhile since the RaGEZONE days way back when it was popping aka shes the best MS mod. She is that momma that takes care of everyone. After playing on so many servers for many years the one issue I had mainly was trust. Its hard to trust that all the progress uve made isnt just for nothing, just so that the server would shutdown the month after. Other servers have been just a cashgrab. Personally this is the only server I would trust in the long run not only cause its a veteran sever no doubt but bc Kimmy is an OG. I personally dont know Kimmy but from what I can see after so many years of dedication shes super passionate about the OG MapleStory. The only server that has been truly nostalgic also the only server with the classic roll dicing for perfect 4/4 stats when creating a character and the HD 1366x768 res client is so nice. Just got back to legends not too long ago gonna be here for the long run this time full time. Thank you Kimmy senpai for creating a stable awesome OG Maple server

Unreal server, I only just started In February 2023 and it has been the nostalgic blast I have been hoping for. I think the 2x XP and 3xQuest XP has been the perfect balance of rewarding grind but just enough to take the edge off the early game. Servers are populated enough to comfortably jump into any of the party quests when its quiet and when Its busy it has been absolutely popping with super friendly people despite the odd interaction with someone not so nice which cant be avoided completely. Ive been lucky enough to dive in when there was an event being ran and the server has felt full of life it has been fantastic. Im hoping with later patches that CPQ is added and the mods keep running seasonal events or rehashing old ones. loving it 5 stars absolutely.

While I like the server in terms of balance old school vibes and the player community being friendly The server is very unfriendly currently for new players who want to do endgame content On top of the HP washing system which apparently is going to be somewhat fixed with the challenge system there is currently a lack of supply for endgame gear On top of rampant inflation for most equips its becoming increasingly hard to scroll your own gear As I write this and search for various weapon scrolls there are 1 or 2 sellers who are selling stacks of 100 no other on the market These people buy the entire inventory available and then resell at these marked up prices Unless you want to sell leech to people as a full time job its incredibly hard to compete with these market makers Overall I think there needs to be more scrolls injected into the game someway The population of the server has decreased significantly due to covid players leaving and with that change theres much less supply of goods

I mostly agree with your shortcomings, and I am personally not a huge fan of a mercher as they call those people, but at the same time... there is not much that can be done about that, because it is the nature of MMOs. Unfortunately, as MMOs get older and older it is indeed more difficult to get to where the current end players were years ago. However, I still want to believe the server is much easier compared to when we started, especially 2016 when the supply of any item was almost completely nonexistent. However, of course, since you did not start in 2016 you will not know what that was like. Thank you for your constructive review! There are still a few things in the work that are also related to your complaint. ^Kim

Server might have been good the first 2-3 years it was up. But since its been up for such a long time its impossible for a new character to start, unless you are willing to make a bishop to 150+... Earn money on leeching and save all your vote for the character you actually wanna make, so you can HP wash... Also the worst is the multiboxing, the admins only allow it to get more votes/donations.

The rates on our server are challenging and require effort and time to progress.

While the server is available and playable for everyone, it is recommended you have played the game in the past so you can get through content easier.
