While we're keeping that tradition going, we're also letting you look back on previous years as well, letting you compare your stats in 2024 with what you did in 2023, 2022, and 2021 as well!

Take a look back on your 2024 and beyond in MapleStory with A Trip Down Maple Lane, share the cards you've earned with your friends, and join us throughout 2025 for more fun in MapleStory!

 

Angler Company, the great arms merchant of Grandis, has taken an important prisoner to their hidden undersea hideout. Play as Senya in this new Epic Dungeon and dive beneath the waves to rescue Cosim and uncover the Angler Company's deep secrets!



Throughout the Epic Dungeon, you'll control Senya, and use her set of abilities to delve within the hostile facility, swarming with enemies to fight and control systems to overcome. You have only one hour to reach the end, charging energy gauges to advance through the stages. Successfully defeat the boss and earn EXP, Sol Erda, and more waiting for you when you clear the Epic Dungeon!

• Now, let’s start off by reviewing some major auction terms that you’ll need know before you begin!

• Now that you know the terminology, we can go over how to sell and bid on character names.

How to Sell Character Names:

• Enter the New Name Auction and start by entering your desired bid, duration, and a new character name.
  • Please note that character names that have started selling cannot be canceled or changed midway.
  • The minimum bid starts at 50,000 Maple Points, and the registration deposit and name change fee are deducted at the time of registration.

• You can keep tabs on your current sale of character names by clicking the [Selling] button in the ‘Your Trades’ tab.
• When the character name sale is finished, you can check the results by clicking the [End Trade] button in the 'Your Trades' tab.
  • Transaction fees of 30% are deducted at the time of payment collection.
  • Registration deposits are refunded if the sale is successful.
  • If the registered character name was not sold, you can pay an additional registration deposit and re-list the name for sale or you can either return or claim your name back.
  • Name change fees are non-refundable regardless of whether the sale was successful or not.
  • You can claim your payment for the sold character name by clicking the [Collect] button in the ‘End Trade’ tab.
• Character names that were won while the New Name Auction was open, cannot be re-sold during the event period. 

How to Purchase Character Names:

• Need to get a hold of that name? Head to the ‘New Name Auction’ UI and search for the character name you want in the search bar at the top left, or you can look through other name options from the ‘Character Names for Sale’ from the search tab.
• Enter your desired bid amount and submit.
  • The bidding price must be increased by at least the minimum bid amount.
  • If your bid is unsuccessful, both the bid deposit and the name change fee will be refunded to you. Although, you will not be able to cancel after placing your bid.
  • You can keep tabs on your current character bids by clicking the [Bidding] button in the ‘Your Trades’ tab.

• In the ‘Bidding’ tab, you can see the current highest bid for each available character name. If your bid is the highest, it will be labeled 'Highest Bid.' If another player bids higher, you can either increase your bid or back out.
• If you have won the Highest Bid, you can claim the name in the ‘End Trade’ tab.
  • Upon claiming the character name, your currently logged-in character's name will be immediately updated. The previous name will be permanently removed.
  • After your name change, you'll have to wait a week before you can change your new name with Mr. Newname.
  • Please note that once the change is complete, you cannot restore your previous name.

Please note:

• The New Name Auction is unavailable in Burning World. Character names that break the naming policy will have their transaction forcefully canceled or changed.
• The name change fees and deposits will not be refunded. You can find other 'New Name Auction' related notes in the 'Please check all cautions' tab.
