Where the world is today.
- WapleStory is live and free to play, in a browser tab and on your phone. Everything under “What you can play today” is open.
- WapleStory Premium is live — 10,000 NX for 14 days, about $10, for convenience and a nameplate. What it is.
- Premium includes rate boosts and convenience. Double EXP, meso and drop rates, with Cash Shop EXP coupons stacking on top. No map or boss is behind a Premium paywall.
- Token is live on Pons and the buyback is running: what the cash shop takes buys it back and sends it to the burn address — how the burn works.
- Launch rates are 10× EXP · 10× mesos · 5× drops for the first two weeks, settling to 5× / 5× / 3× after that. The levels you bank in the meantime are yours to keep.

A stop moves when its maps, quests, drops and rewards all work end to end and the release checks pass. That is why this page has an order and not a calendar.
Your character is waiting on Maple Island
The list above grows. What is already open is enough for a long while.
