2023 Summer Showcase: MapleStory New Age!
Today they released some more information about the 2023 summer showcase for the MapleStory New Age update! With these extra details, it seems like this update will be pretty big and quite exciting! The venue itself is huge, they have additional ways to watch it this time, and the teased teasers (lol) look like they’re hinting towards something important.
Read more…A Day at MapleStory Fan Fest!
The MapleStory Fan Fest took place over the weekend of April 29 in Seoul, and we were actually lucky enough to be able to go! Thanks to the MapleStory Korea team and Steve (x3TheAran59), we were invited to the event while we were in Korea! It was so much fun, and I wanted to help share the experience with other players who weren’t able to go. 🙂
Also surprise Orange Mushroom Blog face reveal! Although if you watched Steve’s stream from the day or his videos, you’ve probably already seen me lol.
Read more…A Trip to the Nexon Computer Museum!
On our trip to Korea, the first place we visited was the Nexon Computer Museum on Jeju Island! Rather than being focused on Nexon and its games, it’s actually a museum that documents and teaches about the history of computers and video games. It has a big collection of ‘artifacts’ and a lot of interactive exhibits that made it very fun to walk through.
While not entirely MapleStory related, I thought it would be cool to share some of the things we saw (and there are some MapleStory things in the gift shop!).

Hey guys! I’m finally back from my vacation! I was in Japan for a couple weeks then Korea for a little less than a week. It was an amazing trip for many reasons, including being able to go to MapleStory Fan Fest (with Steve and Neo)! I am definitely going to be making a huge post about that, as well as the Nexon Computer Museum in Jeju Island, but first, I’d like to give a huge thanks to Kobe, Sunny, and Steve who helped out with the patch notes while I was gone. They did a great job and I’m really glad I don’t have to go back and work on those now haha.
Anyways, today, MapleStory’s general director Kang Wongki started a live stream and he talked about both the Fan Fest (Steve was in it!) as well as game changes that will be coming up. He mentioned that some of them were supposed to be implemented in the summer patch but they’ll be pulling them forward to the patch coming up in a couple of weeks!

As Max is still on vacation and Kobe is busy with urgent matters, the author for this week’s blog is I, Sunny. In a reversal of roles from last week I would like to thank Kobe for proofreading this post, and Steve, as usual, for the screenshots provided last week. With that said, I hope you all enjoy the changes this patch has brought, and that when the time comes you all are able to enjoy the this event as much as we are.
MapleStory is now 20 years old! The 20th Anniversary, Mapril Island, takes place over the next seven weeks. This patch includes quality of life changes, changes to spell tracing, improvements to the cubing system, and some balancing!
This update has gone live with some changes, and additions, from the Test Server, these differences will be highlighted in red.
