Not a video. The same client you play, running with no server behind it.

Start in 60 seconds

No launcher, no patcher, no account to make first. Three things stand between this page and Maple Island.

  1. 1

    Sign in with Google

    One tap, no password to invent. Email works too, and a wallet if you already have one.

  2. 2

    Pick a class

    Every Explorer, all the way through third job. Change your mind later and make another one.

    Warrior · Magician · Bowman · Thief · Pirate

  3. 3

    You are on Maple Island

    The world streams in while you walk. Your character lives on the server, so the next tab you open finds it exactly where you left it.

Active now

Opening campaign

Every world rate is raised while the campaign runs, and then it stops. The levels you bank in the meantime are yours to keep.

Launch boost

Double the world's usual EXP and mesos, with drops up from 3× to 5×. An hour spent now is worth two spent after it ends.

Regular world rates: 5× EXP · 5× mesos · 3× drops

  • 10×EXP
  • 10×mesos
  • 5×drops
WapleStory custom features

Old-school progression, with fewer dead ends

The v83 world stays familiar, while a few server features make long-term characters easier to build and support.

On your phone, with its own controls

Not a stretched desktop window. The phone gets a layout built from the 2010 client's own art, and the same character you left on the laptop.

  1. 1

    Auto-hunt

    One button attacks whatever is on your platform while you rest your thumbs.

  2. 2

    Controls where your hands are

    Every button and the stick can be dragged to suit your grip, and the layout is remembered.

  3. 3

    Drag to fill the slots

    Open the skill book or inventory and drag a skill or potion onto a slot. Two for skills, one each for HP and MP.

What you get, and what we never sell

Everything on the left is the free game. There is no subscription, no energy meter and no tier of the world you have to buy your way into.

In the world today

  • Every Explorer class through third job, Pirates included.
  • Maple Island, Victoria Island, Florina Beach, Orbis and El Nath.
  • The Henesys, Kerning and Orbis party quests.
  • Zakum.

Optional Premium

Premium adds rate boosts, a rainbow nameplate and convenience commands.

  • No stats, no gear, no scrolls.
  • Premium doubles EXP, meso and drop rates.
  • No maps and no bosses behind a paywall.

The world keeps opening

Each stop ships when its checks pass, in this order. No dates: a date we miss is worth less to you than the stop itself.

  1. Now

    Launch

    The world is open and free, Premium is live, and the shop sells looks and never power. Token is live on Pons with the buyback running: what the cash shop takes buys it back and burns it. Rates are 10× EXP, 10× mesos and 5× drops for the first two weeks, then 5× / 5× / 3×.

  2. Next

    Idle mode

    Your character keeps hunting its spot while you are away. Premium only.

  3. Then

    Cygnus Knights and Aran

    Ereve and Rien open, with both classes and their stories.

  4. Then

    Aqua Road and Pianus

    The tower's underwater road, the Aquarium and the deep-sea boss.

The whole route, stop by stop

Bring your old guild

Nobody wants to run Kerning PQ alone. Send your link to the people you used to play with and it pays 1,000 NX each, when their first character reaches level 10 — so neither of you is rewarded for a name that never logs in.

Get your invite link

WapleStory Premium

A two-week pass: a rainbow nameplate, shop, storage and Duey mail from any map, and 2× EXP, meso and drop rates. The rate boost stacks with Cash Shop EXP coupons. No exclusive gear or maps. 10,000 NX for 14 days — about $10.

About Premium

Maple Administrator answers

Maple Administrator

Welcome to WapleStory, traveler. These are the ones people ask me.

Is it really free?

Yes. Making a character, levelling it, and every map, quest and boss on this page cost nothing, now and later. The cash shop sells cosmetics and conveniences, and you can finish the game without opening it.

Do I need to download anything?

No. It is a browser tab. The client and the maps stream in as you walk and stay in your browser afterwards, so the second visit starts where the first one left off.

Does my progress save?

Your character lives on the server, not in the tab. Close it, move to your phone, come back next month — level, inventory, mesos and quests are where you left them.

Is it pay-to-win?

Premium includes 2× EXP, meso and drop rates, stacking with Cash Shop EXP coupons. It also adds a rainbow nameplate and convenience commands. No maps or bosses require Premium.

Is this legal, and what about Nexon?

MapleStory is a trademark of Nexon. WapleStory is an independent fan project, not affiliated with them and not endorsed by them, and we sell nothing of theirs. Who is behind this.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes, in the phone's own browser, with a thumbstick and buttons you can drag to suit your grip. Same character and same world as the laptop.

Do I need crypto to play?

No. Sign in with Google and play. There is a token, it is not something your character, your inventory or the shop ever asks you for, and you can ignore it completely.

How the burn works

Your character is waiting on Maple Island

Sign in, pick a class, play in the tab. A minute, start to finish.

Every dollar the cash shop takes buys Token and sends it to the burn address — the counter moves on the first burn.
