Hey Guys!
I haven't logged onto MapleStory since 2011, I saw a great YouTube 2 weeks video that inspired me to get back into the game.
I now went and spent almost 1000$ to create a gaming setup just to play lol!
Ok enough backstory...

*QUESTION HERE*
I logged on for the first time today and realized all my characters names became a hashtag and numbers, does anyone know how to get my name back or any alternate options?
Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks guys!

    In 2015 there was a name wipe for characters below 200 that hadn't logged in since January 15, 2013.

    If you want to rename a character, you need a name change coupon. It's $15 in the cash shop. It's expensive, so if you do decide to purchase one, use it on the character you plan to play the most.

    Thanks for informing me about that coupon Aaron!
    I looked into it and saw it, but since there was a name wipe shouldn't there be atleast 1 free name change for players who have not reached level 200 yet?
    I feel that's the most fair option...
    Also I have names that are most probably taken by now, such as Badlack and NickSoulGem

    There was indeed a free name change. Five years ago when this originally happened.
