Hi Maplers,

We have decided to bring all servers down in order to investigate the root cause of the channel crashes that have been coming after the v.236 Midnight Carnival update maintenance and address it as soon as possible. We apologize for the downtime and will provide an update at the top of this post when we can.

Halloween is approaching and Maple World is preparing for the Night Troupe and various Halloween-themed events! Hunt monsters and participate in events to raise your Festival Designer Rank and use the Festival Decorating to design the festival! More buildings means more passive skills that benefit all characters eligible for the event. Earn bonus EXP with the Ride Attractions or obtain growth enhancements like Arcane Symbols from the Human Cannonball Attraction! Increasing your Festival Designer Rank will also unlock handy bonuses such as a Character Burninator or the Safety Zone. Special activities like the Giant Iceberg Breaker Festival will be available to help you earn additional Troupe Points in addition to the other events. A special Home story chapter is also available, leading to a new Shopping category for Halloween-themed Furnishings! The Midnight Carnival awaits!
