Chaomoon's Classic MapleStory Guide

Hi! With Nexon announcing an official MapleStory classic server, I've revamped this guide to be specifically geared towards the launch of that server.

This page is a guide for the earliest version of classic MapleStory, which I presume will only have Victoria island at launch.

If you have anything you think would be good to add, feel free to contact me on Discord @wispx_

Video Guide

This video guide I made covers many key points from this guide, so you can check it out here if videos are more your thing~ (I like videos too!)



I've made several other video guides for classic maplestory as well. Many of them are labeled as "Artale" videos, but they still apply to classic MapleStory. I will also be making new videos and guides about Classic MapleStory as well!
