KURO BETA UPDATE - APRIL 2026

BETA PHASE 2 — APRIL 29TH Full wipe. Fresh start. Exact hour to be announced. Beta Phase 2 is about testing stability and experiencing the full progression before launch. Rates are 1/3/3 — EXP starts at 1x and scales up gradually as you level so the early game actually feels like MapleStory again. These rates are for testing only and won't carry over to launch. Level cap goes up to 300. Quest Medal requirements increased Bug reports and suggestions handled via the forum with upvote/downvote On April 29th suggestions and bug reports will be officially closed on Discord RECRUITING Looking for forum/Discord moderators and Game Masters to help out when I'm away.
