MapleGlobal
MapleGlobal
MapleGlobal (also known as GlobalMS, GMS, and OMS ("official MapleStory") ) is the main gateway used by the vast majority of English-speaking (and many Spanish-speaking) players. It is available to all countries without a localized version of the game (South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and all of Europe have their own versions), but is generally populated by North and South American players.
Worlds
The 11 available MapleGlobal servers (also referred to as worlds) are Scania, Bera, Broa, Windia, Khaini, Bellocan, Kradia, Yellonde, Demethos and with the 2007 Easter Event, Mardia. With the new December 9, 2009 patch, Galicia is now available. These names are taken from MapleStory Korea. The beta world, called Tespia, was removed a few years ago.
Current version
MapleStory Global reached version 0.92 in December 2010, and is run by Wizet and Nexon. So far the areas Omega Sector, Aqua Road, Aqua Dungeon, Leafre, Showa, Korean Folk Town, Helios Tower, New Leaf City, Magatia, Singapore, Ereve, Malaysia, Temple of Time, and Rien, Neo City have been released. According to the GM Blog, more areas are due for release in GMS.
GMS exclusives
One previously exclusive of Global Maple Story is Amoria, a love-themed town where players can get married. Most versions of MapleStory now has access to this area, one exception being that China has access to their own exclusive Peach Blossom Island instead.
The future for GMS
Speculation and GM comments suggest that GMS is due for another, more developed and genuinely exclusive world, the Global Theme Park. No hard information exists regarding this world.
