Open Beta (OBT) Dates
Many servers run Open Beta (OBT) or Closed Beta (CBT) before launch. Look for posts like “open beta [date] gmt+8/cet/est”. Test your build in OBT, then come back on grand opening day ready to speedrun.
Fresh start tips
Join the official Discord before launch, read wipe and donation rules, confirm exact opening time, prepare your party or guild, and avoid unofficial download mirrors.
Review the maplestory rankings, official website, community links, rules and download instructions before joining. Server owners can add or update a listing with a verified opening date.
By Version
Compare version values to find the content, client or play style that matches your preferences.

EXP Rate helps explain progression speed, server version or ruleset depending on the game. Confirm the exact settings on the official listing.
