TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: 29 September 2026. These terms govern your use of MapleVerse and this website, operated by Mark Dorsch, Winnipeg, Canada. By playing MapleVerse or using this site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

What MapleVerse is

MapleVerse is a free, unofficial, fan-made remake of Pre-BB MapleStory. It is in development and has not officially launched. It is not affiliated with Nexon, and it is not operated or endorsed by Nexon or MapleStory Universe. MapleStory and MapleStory Universe names and assets belong to their respective owners. The developer participates in the MSU Builder program; MapleStory Universe data is provided by NEXPACE.

Your account

You sign in with MapleStory Universe. You are responsible for keeping your MSU sign-in secure and for activity on your account. No one from MapleVerse will ever ask for your wallet's private key or seed phrase — if someone does, it is a scam.

Acceptable use

Please play fair. You agree not to:

• cheat, hack, exploit bugs, use bots or automation, or tamper with the game or its servers;
• harass, threaten or abuse other players, or post unlawful, hateful or infringing content in the forum or in-game;
• disrupt, overload or attack the service, or attempt to access accounts or data that aren't yours;
• impersonate MapleVerse, Nexon, NEXPACE or anyone else.

We may suspend or remove accounts that break these rules. In-game chat is recorded and may be reviewed to enforce them; the Privacy Policy explains what is kept and for how long (180 days).

Virtual items and in-game currency

In-game items and Vesos are part of the game only. They are fictional, have no real-world or monetary value, are not your property, and cannot be bought, sold or exchanged for money. We may adjust, reset or remove in-game items and currency as part of running and developing the game.

MapleStory Universe items

If you bring an MSU NFT item into MapleVerse, the item itself stays in your MSU wallet and remains governed by MapleStory Universe's own terms. Inside MapleVerse it exists only as an in-game copy that you cannot trade, sell, drop or destroy here; any trading of the real item happens on MapleStory Universe's own channels. The copy works only while your linked wallet still holds the item and it isn't listed for sale, and it stops working if the item leaves your wallet. Nothing is ever written back to your NFT.

Cost, donations and advertising

MapleVerse is free to play, with no purchases. If we later add optional donations or advertising, they will be clearly described and any additional terms will apply to them. Donations, if offered, support development and grant no in-game advantage.

Availability and changes

Because MapleVerse is in development, it is provided "as is" and "as available." Features, content and progress may change, and the service may be interrupted, reset or discontinued at any time. We don't guarantee that the game or any saved data will always be available.

Disclaimer and liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, MapleVerse is provided without warranties of any kind, and the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost progress or data, arising from your use of the game. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba and the applicable laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Changes

We may update these terms as the game develops. We'll update the date above and announce significant changes on the site. Continuing to play after a change means you accept it.
