After nearly 2 years in development, we are moving forward with Old School Maple’s Release.

The Alpha ran much longer than we originally expected. We kept building because we wanted to get the game to a place we were proud of before making the transition to Release. That meant completing Third Job, Fourth Job, Zakum, Horntail, and everything that came with them.

The game we have today is far bigger than we could have ever dreamed of when we started, and that’s really thanks to you all.

We are extremely thankful for the countless hours you spent grinding, reporting bugs, making suggestions, and helping us improve the game. We are extremely proud of the community that has grown here, and we’re excited to take the next step with you.

The Wipe

Since the beginning, we’ve always intended to wipe after the Alpha, and we’re finally doing it.

The Alpha was a testing ground. We’ve had bugs and exploits that gave some players advantages they shouldn’t have had. We’ve changed rates multiple times, meaning someone who played a year ago experienced a different progression curve than someone who started today. We’ve also had GM events, boss summons, random and overpowered buffs, and plenty of other things that simply wouldn’t make sense to carry into Release in perpetuity.

A wipe means a fresh start with a clean economy, fresh rankings, everyone starting on equal footing.

What will be reset:

• All characters will return to Level 1, and teleported to Maple Island as a Beginner
• All inventories, equipment, mesos, quests, skills, ability points, fame will be cleared

What will remain:

• All cash cosmetics, cash equips, pets. Anything purchased from the Cash Shop will stay with you.
• Character names
• Buddy list

Omnia's Medal is becoming Omnia's Blessing

Omnia’s Blessing will replace the current Omnia’s Medal system as a passive skill, with the highest skill level applied to all characters on your account. This passive skill will be accessible to new players even after Release.

The Blessing will retain the current Medal’s progression, granting the follow stats for each level up to a max level of 20

• +1 STR / DEX / INT / LUK
• +1 Weapon Attack / Magic Attack
• +50 HP / MP

Alpha Players will receive a stat-adjusted Omnia Medal using your highest rank achieved (ie: Legend of Omnia V Sigil of Omnia I) as your permanent alpha-keepsake.

• Lv. 10-109: +1 All Stat Medal
• Lv. 110-200: +1 All Stat, +1 Weapon Attack / Magic Attack

2x EXP until Release Day.

Starting now running until the servers come down. Every level you gain raises your Omnia's Blessing and gives you a headstart on release, make the best of it!

What’s Next?

Release doesn’t mean the game is finished. There are still bugs to fix, systems to improve, and plenty of content we want to add.

Thank you again for being part of this project. We look forward to building the most faithful classic MapleStory experience, just the way you remember it.
