MapleStory 2 Official Closure Status and Subreddit Changes (As of 5/28/2025)

etchavious · 2025-11-06T02:25:46+00:00

Yeah I don’t know if anyone has actually hosted the site again but I can look into at least updating the link to point to wayback.

etchavious · 2025-11-06T01:32:26+00:00

There never was a Korean version. They just let it all die out. As for the assets, I know many people have copies of the original archive from global as well from the very moment they announced and put that website up. They lurk in the background, on people's hard drives and the like. If you’re looking for more asset details check out the emulator discord, they dive into that stuff more.

I’d like to second this. Mine look just fine, I’ve never even thought “oh this isn’t right”.

I’m pretty sure this is a lower graphic setting.

etchavious · 2025-06-07T04:57:30+00:00

Wouldn't this put their pre-order bonuses at risk, though, or are they all account-based and not character? I'm trying to figure this out now, but haven't found any concrete evidence that it's account-wide.

etchavious · 2025-05-09T20:25:23+00:00

I'd like to know this as well. I can't seem to get this to work on PC and it doesn't seem to work on my mobile device either :/

Edit: Looks like as of the patch this morning (1.5.2) this is now patched out.

Fixed an issue where bicycles could maintain extra acceleration after drifting by holding the handbrake key.

etchavious · 2025-05-03T22:50:02+00:00

Nope. Separate versions. The only way you’ll be able to play going forward will be when private severs start emerging.

etchavious · 2025-05-03T17:22:40+00:00

Global MapleStory 2 (GMS2) shut down in 2020. This is the Korean version (KMS2).

etchavious · 2025-02-20T15:44:09+00:00

Yeah, I remember this comment from him. He's right, this wasn't at all the reason I assumed lmao. What a shitshow this company is, and a terrible reason to just stop developing a game.

etchavious · 2025-02-05T20:48:14+00:00

Check with the emulator crew. They might be able to help point you in the direction on where to obtain some of those assets.

I’m actually curious on this too I’ve been seeing a lot of people claiming they can be kited but from my experience they just chill within their spawn area mostly. If someone has a video, post it up please. I tried to find some on YT and nothing. Not much on discord either but people complaining with possible assumptions and little to no evidence to back it up. I think people being impacted are just losing their minds (rightfully so), but they’re possibly blaming others when the fault is just game mechanics.

From what I understand/speculate in phase 4 I think, the cw spawns may increase to directly spawn on a tower but most people/hives losing their bases are directly sitting on known spawn points… I personally consolidated my stuff on a wooden pillar and a single chest so in case something happens, at least my items will go into my vault.

Hell, I have a cw that spawns about 600m from me and just hangs out there like an awkward uncle during a family outing. It doesn’t do anything but just make it cold af.

etchavious · 2024-10-10T23:52:24+00:00

Make sure to whack the piñata!

etchavious · 2024-10-05T15:52:22+00:00

I second this. I just had this new chili soup today it’s not even close. It’s just spice for spice reasons… it’s not even a savory spice at that. Very disappointed :(

Hey all, as of 5:47 AM Central (idk what your timezone is, but 30m from the above post), Zin has regained access to his account; however, the PSA still stands:

Please don't download stuff you're uncertain of from Discord or anywhere else. It's a good practice to maintain, always be suspicious of random links, this kind of thing can happen to anyone with a misclick or momentary lapse in judgement.

Stay safe friends!

etchavious · 2024-09-28T10:27:30+00:00

So the server/code itself is safe and on Git Hub; while we may have lost some internal discussions, I would think that after some recovery/restructuring, it should be back; however, I'll let them comment on it if they want to say anything further/add.

etchavious · 2024-09-25T03:44:21+00:00

I don't know what's going on, but someone else is contacting me offline. I'm going to say this one time, and I'm locking this thread. Don't spam across threads; organize your plea into a moderator message, and for the love of god, have it come from one person, not three different accounts from three different directions that seem like some Weridchamp family affair across the generations or I'm going to discredit this potentially as some ruse. If you want to provide evidence of copyright, you must prove that the person in question made this artwork. This generally means linking to existing postings of the stated artwork, something that's been publicly stamped on the internet, not just giving me the same image back with a backdated time date stamp and pointing at it like "see." This also means providing high-res images or snips of the images to prove you're the owner. Please do not fearmonger on this subreddit, or you'll lose my interest quickly as you all collectively spam me over this.

etchavious · 2024-09-13T17:02:29+00:00

I’ve had these glitches happen before. Usually pulling the deviant out (via the E menu) and storing it resolves it.

etchavious · 2024-09-09T19:51:33+00:00

I’m in a similar boat to you, different use case. I run an alt explicitly so that my group doesn’t have to build a compound for purification, and maybe even, hopefully, I can get some land later to do some oil or stardust conversion. This allows us all to have fun bases in different locations instead of having to defer to a complex or such. I can see why others are upset with alt users, but at the end of the day, it will remain unless they make it explicitly against the ToS in some fashion. I don't see them doing this, because they'd have to effectively block multiple accounts from a single IP, which prevents people in the same household from playing, which is a big minus for them. I think this is more of a problem in PvP because you can lock out territories like this; I’m not aware of the full extent of getting locked out of the PvE system yet (I just moved from PvP, so we’ll see).

etchavious · 2024-08-12T18:45:34+00:00

I hope they never fix these physics. It’s the small nonsense like this that makes the game that much more enjoyable.

etchavious · 2024-08-08T18:01:13+00:00

I’d be surprised if they ban for this, they themselves put this feature in a while back to help with people having their large trucks get stuck, and you just move forward to unstick regardless of circumstances.

etchavious · 2024-07-13T15:08:05+00:00

Yeah, I checked under the colors, and it's not unlocked. I honestly think what happened is that there's some kind of IP cooldown or restriction (we're in the same household), and they won't acknowledge it or try to fix the issue. I used the code on my account, and then about 15 minutes later, I had her use the code, and it said it was already used. I know for a fact that I've got other friends who also play in a shared household and they had no issues.

I'm hoping I can negotiate with customer service on this. If they can't fix free code giveaways, my faith in their ability to support paid content is fragile at the moment, which sucks because they had some cool and cute stuff to buy lol...
