MapleStory News

Attention Maplers,

As mentioned in a previous web post, the MapleStory website will soon receive an update. As part of this update, the Marvel Machine page will be revamped, but the full extent of the revamp will not become available until the next Marvel Machine event. During this time, you will still be able to view and redeem your Marvel Machine codes; however, any remaining Spins that have not yet been used will become temporarily unavailable.

We are planning to release the MapleStory website update in early May, and remaining Spins will become unavailable for use at that time. These Spins will be preserved, and when the next Marvel Machine event releases, you will see the fully revamped Marvel Machine web page, and any remaining Spins that you had will become usable again at that time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and encourage you to use any remaining Spins before the MapleStory website update in early May.

Thank you,

- The MapleStory Team

Hi Maplers,

After the v.249 update, you may have seen that the in-game font for multiple menus and titles was adjusted. We'd like to inform you that the font will be reverted back to the original style in the v.250 update and share with you why these changes were made.

While testing the new Character Info UI, we were finding that certain text and letters were not being properly aligned. To address the issue, the original font was modified to increase legibility which impacted all UI elements. We will be reverting this and only applying the legibility changes to the Character Info UI.
Additionally, specific letters such as "w", "v", "t" and "f" can be hard to distinguish when they are typed next to each other. Therefore, we applied a change that added more spacing between these characters. This change will also be reverted to the original spacing. 

Although we are reverting the font back to the original style, we will continue to focus on improving our players' day-to-day gameplay experience. As always, your feedback is immensely important to us and we appreciate your support.

Thank you,

Mjollnir
