PLAY PRE-BB MAPLESTORY (V83) IN YOUR BROWSER

MapleVerse (mapleverse.online) is a faithful fan-made remake of Pre-BB MapleStory — GMS v0.83, the v83 era from before the Big Bang — rebuilt to run entirely in your web browser. There is no client to download and no installer: open play.mapleverse.online, pick a channel, and you're on Maple Island like it's 2005.

MapleVerse is in development and has not officially launched, but the free development build is playable right now — and it changes almost every day (see the update notes).

• The real Pre-BB world — Maple Island, Victoria Island, Ossyria and Masteria, with the original maps, monsters, NPCs and quests.
• All five jobs — Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief and Pirate, with 2nd, 3rd and 4th job advancement. A sixth path, the Tamer, who adventures alongside partner monsters, is in development.
• Play together — a shared co-op world with parties, buddies, guilds, party quests, player shops and the Free Market.
• Authentic everything — original interface, damage formulas, drops and quest dialogue, recreated 1:1.

Play free now ►  ·  How to play & save

1. Open the game. Go to play.mapleverse.online in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. No installer, no patcher, no 4 GB download.
2. Log in like it's 2005. Press OK on the notice scroll, click Guest Login, choose Scania and a channel, then create your character — face, hair, skin, gear and name.
3. Keep your characters. At character select, press Sign in with MSU and your account and its characters follow you to any device. Your character saves automatically every few seconds while you play.

You'll wake up on Maple Island. The beginner's guide takes it from there.

The whole game — the maps, monsters, skills and the authentic 800×600 Pre-BB client — runs inside your browser. Old-school private servers make you download a multi-gigabyte client and keep it patched; MapleVerse has none of that.

• Nothing to install. Nothing is written to your computer: no setup wizard, no admin permissions, no .exe to trust.
• No patch days. The game updates on the server, so you always load the latest version just by refreshing.
• Saves in the cloud. Close the tab and pick up later on a completely different device.
• Works on locked-down machines that block installers — school and work computers, Chromebooks — as long as the network allows the site.
