Hello Maplers,

Thank you for your continued support and passion for MapleStory. To ensure a smoother and more comfortable game experience for everyone, we will be conducting a character clean-up by flagging inactive characters for removal. This flagging process will begin on September 24, 2025 (after maintenance) and will continue until November 12, 2025 (before maintenance). Characters that remain flagged after this date will be permanently deleted after the maintenance on November 12, 2025. Please refer to the conditions below for more details on whether your characters may be affected.

Character Flagging Conditions

• Lv. 61 or lower.

• The character has not logged in since September 24, 2022.

• The character is not a Guild Leader or Alliance Leader.

• The character does not have unclaimed cash items in the Auction House.

To prevent your characters from being deleted, please log onto each world where your character(s) has been flagged at least once between September 24, 2025 (after maintenance) - November 12, 2025 (before maintenance). 


Thank you,
- The MapleStory Team
