Issue

Love the game but I’m experiencing an issue where the game crashes and kicks me out of the app, I’m using an IPhone; I have to restart the game and it kicks me out about every 10 minutes.

Can no longer sign into game after newest update.

I installed the new update last night and was able to sign in. I made some in game purchases and signed out, now today the game all of a sudden cannot connect to my network on my phone, and I cannot access the company’s help website because the page will not load in my phone’s browser, I’ve tried deleting the app and re-downloading it to clear the cache data. So now I’m coming here to try and get some kind of a response. Please advise

MapleStory

Good game but it’s annoying how much it crashes and when they release a new update game always has a hard time booting up

P2W

Without spending 20 dollars a month at minimim, you wont be really enjoying the game but watching too many ads

Boring game that scams you

30% odd filing 9 times almost every time. This game display fake odds for nearly everything to scam you to thinking the odds are real. Then you spend more money and guess what hoops of fire to fight for a refund from the scams.

Late Game Player Dev Advice

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, pretty well everyday since about a month after launch and I truly love this game but I have some very important considerations for the developers of this game that I truly hope they consider implementing to keep this game strong.

Firstly I believe this game is extremely unique because of its ability to combine an afk component “being idle” with nostalgia targeting a generation of millennial players who have real jobs and can dump money into this game due to enjoyment.

Looking back at my now +10 months of playing, the single most enjoyable thing about this game was Party Quest grinding with the community, creating parties and grinding for good gear. This component of the game still exists but is much more afk now due to AFK. Although the aspect of farming is still there. Unfortunately a huge component of gear farming is now P2W due to boss raid ticket system. IT IS OF THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE LINGEVITY OF THIS GAME TO MAKE THIS F2P. Grinding gear is probably the most exciting part of this game and it is blocked by boss raid ticket system, which should be completely eliminated. Allowing players to freely grind gear without a payment system will make this game so much more enjoyable and I would gladly dump more money into this game if this was changed to a better system which allowed me to grind gear.

I really hope the devs read this comment as it is extremely critical to the game on a go forward basis.

Great Maplestory Adventure

I love Maplestory and I have played a few different idle games in the past so this game is right up my alley. I love how you can still use your fingers to move your character even though it’s an idle game me mostly plays itself. I think there is a lot to do in a good way. There’s even in-game chat for a social feature. I give this game a five out of five stars. Thank you!

Snavesh

You guys should try to bring NexusTK to the iPhone!!!!

Crashes so often

This game keeps crashing on my iphone12, it’s crazy. Idk what they did to update the game but the screwed it up, never had this game crashes this much, it’s unplayable.

Ok game tons of stability issues

It’s MapleStory idle with an ok system that starts to get tedious but scratches the itch. Ads never work and crash after the first ad making you start over and get no compensation, pretty sure devs are double dipping.

Server merged ruins this game

Latest update caused server to merged, this means you will always chase top rank. From top 65 to top 900 overnight and it’s not good because you get lower weekly reward if your rank is lower. Essential my progression went down 80% after merged. Good luck who wants to continue to play this, Nexon wallets first.

Pay to play

Would be better without the pay gap

Pay More, Get Nowhere

⭐ 1/5 — The only thing this game is good at is emptying your wallet.

Welcome to the endless cycle of “Want more CP? PAY.”
Need better stats? PAY.
Want to upgrade your gear? PAY.
Want to improve your chances? PAY.
And after spending hundreds of dollars, you know what the solution is when you’re still stuck?

PAY EVEN MORE.

The funniest part is that many of these “luck-based” systems feel less like luck and more like a carefully designed casino where the house always wins. You spend money, press the button, and then the game basically tells you: “Good luck, sucker.”

After throwing a ridiculous amount of money into this game, I eventually realized something: I wasn’t actually getting stronger. I was just paying to climb one or two more floors before hitting another wall designed to make me spend again.

And don’t expect much meaningful interaction between players either. The community feels increasingly empty because many long-time players are simply leaving. It’s not hard to understand why when the monetization is this aggressive.

After a few months, I finally accepted that the money I’d already spent was gone and deleted the game.

Let’s be honest: this is basically an idle version of the original game, designed to turn your wallet into the real endgame.

There is no amount of CP that will ever be enough, because the game will always give you another reason to spend more.

My advice: DON’T SPEND A SINGLE CENT.

Not $100.
Not $10.
Not even $0.01.

Save your money. Save your time. Save yourself the frustration.

Because in this game, the real boss isn’t the enemy.

It’s your credit card. 💳💀

Thanks for reading.

Account. disappeared.

Khoethos is still a taken name, right now I'm playing Khoethosii but I will not spend money on this account. I want Khoethos back, the one I paid for all the costuming for already. I don't know how to navigate getting to support. HAAAALLLPP MEEEEHHH Please.

Forces to watch ads the. They won’t load

If you are going to make me watch ads don’t limit me on when I can watch an ad. Load the ad when I want to watch the stupid damn thing

Crashing non-stop

The game is fun enough but crashes a bunch and usually when loading into a matchmaking event which means you’ll end up waiting 5 minutes just to wait again. Very frustrating.

Angelic buster when?

I’ll come back when she’s playable on the idle rpg version. Dear Devs, will you bring her class to idle rpg? She was my first and only class on MS! 🥰
