[/p][p]\[Updated 7/31/2025 PDT] The new date for the Ola Ola Event has been scheduled! Thank you for your patience and we are excited to see you there![/p][p][/p][p]\[Updated 7/30/2025 10:35 AM PDT] Due to an upcoming unscheduled maintenance for today, we will be postponing our Ola Ola event - stay tuned for an updated date and time for this event! [/p][p][/p][p]Get ready for some serious nostalgia, because after years away, the classic GM event Ola Ola is finally making its comeback. 

Join us for a special test run of Ola Ola this Wednesday, July 30th PDT! We know it's been a while, so this first event is all about making sure we get it just right. If this test run goes smoothly, there's a good chance Ola Ola could become a recurring active event. And if it proves successful, it might also pave the way for us to reintroduce other classic in-game events you've been missing.

Check out the event details below:

Hi Maplers, 

We understand and are aware of the sentiment surrounding the Ride or Die Returns event and the miscommunication of the weekly reset date of the event. Due to this, we would like to inform players that we will be reducing the participation requirements for the Ride or Die Legion Block from 6 to 5 weeks.

This change will be implemented during the scheduled maintenance on August 7, 2025, alongside other changes and bug fixes.

We thank you for your continued support of MapleStory.

- The MapleStory Team
