Dear Maple Con LA 2025 Attendees,

We would like to begin by genuinely thanking everyone who joined us at Maple Con LA 2025 and expressed their support for the MapleStory community. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and passion you brought to the event.

Although there were moments throughout the event that were filled with joy and excitement for MapleStory, we also recognize that there were shortcomings as well. We would like to extend our deepest apologies for the event attendees that were affected by these inconveniences and share additional information regarding them.

An unexpected central server outage of a 3rd party POS and order management systems caused a major disruption to merchandise operations, leading to delays and incomplete order fulfillment. In addition, miscommunication between Nexon America, our event partners, and the venue staff contributed to poor coordination around entry lines and overall crowd management.

We take full responsibility for these issues and deeply regret the impact they had on your experience.

For additional information regarding merchandise and in-game compensation please see our post here.

Our Commitment Moving Forward

We are conducting a thorough internal review of all Maple Con LA 2025 operations. This includes strengthening cross-team communication and improving vendor management for future events. We recognize the time, effort, and trust you placed in us, and we are committed to earning that trust back through meaningful action.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Sincerely,

Nexon America

The 0.8.0.2 update focuses on introducing the ability to swap between interact/pickup targets as well as adding the ability to influence max HP to the difficulty configuration menu. We’ve updated the test beta branch with the latest update on the in combat save functionality. This will be included in the next release, thanks to everyone that helped test it out so far! Remember, the best way to support the development is by reviewing the game and joining the Discord. We’re excited about what’s up next, but until then we’ll be crushing bugs and making content.

On a personal note, if anyone has any tips on how to attach a gargantuan nose prosthetic to my face it would be much appreciated. My Leo costume is facing some structural engineering challenges. Happy Halloween!

• Click-Through Toggle - Assign a hotkey in App Hotkey Settings to make the entire overlay click-through

  • ⚠️ Note: While enabled, the overlay becomes completely unclickable (including the top bar). You must use the same hotkey to toggle it back to interact with the overlay again.

• Window Position Memory - The spray overlay now remembers its last position and will reopen exactly where you placed it

• Fixed: Pause now actually freezes the pattern - Previously, pressing pause while spraying would show "PAUSED" but dots continued appearing as you moved your mouse. Now the pattern freezes immediately.

• Fixed: Unbound hotkey display - Changed from showing "bind" to properly displaying "Not Assigned" in all languages

• Improved overlay window initialization to prevent freezing during transition for some users (particularly those with multi-monitor setups)

How to use click-through: App Hotkey Settings → Find "Toggle Click-Through" → Assign a key → Press that key in-game to toggle on/off
