To the MapleStory Global Team,
We, the leaders of the primary guilds in the Luna server, are joining to express deep concern regarding the latest announcement in the Patch Notes, where Luna is expected to have a Cross World Auction House and Meso Market with itself, the lack of mention of Luna in notes or communications, neither being considered in surveys, all which further affects the already precarious current state of our server and the future of our community.
A clear example is the Meso Market, which has been broken on the Luna server since last week. While other bugs were addressed, we were simply left stranded and advised not to use it.
Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed a significant decline in population, an increasingly stagnant market, and a sharp drop in player interaction and economic activity. The phrase “Luna is dead” has unfortunately been repeated for years, but the ongoing issues, combined with the lack of a clear plan from Nexon and the recent stance on Cross World, make this feel like the final blow. Many players are already considering migrating to other servers or quitting altogether.
We’ve reached a critical point in Luna where players progressing into end-game content are hitting a dead end, struggling to find enough people to form parties and continue advancing. The server population has become so low that key progression items, like pitch boss drops, are increasingly scarce, severely limiting player advancement. On top of that, there are currently no active Frenzy service sellers, which has demotivated many players from grinding, leveling up, or even logging in. This lack of resources and community engagement is making it harder for both new and veteran players to grow.
Despite these challenges, our guilds continue to invest time, effort, and heart into keeping Luna alive. However, without structural support and meaningful changes, our ability to do so is reaching its limits. We strongly propose the following actions:
We want to keep our identity as an independent server for the EU area, but we want to be grouped with NA servers for Cross World Auction House, Meso Market and Boss Matching System like those in other servers. This would breathe new life into cross-server engagement, allow for healthier economic activity, and allow players to actually connect with other players to do bosses with.
While the trade restriction has been lifted in other Nexon published games, it remains in effect in MapleStory Global. This ongoing ban continues to isolate Dutch players, limit their participation in Interactive, and further strain Luna’s economy. Is there any legal possibility for Dutch players to engage in trade again? We kindly ask for clarification on whether this restriction is still legally required or if a resolution is being considered.
We want clear and transparent communication, as well as to be genuinely acknowledged and considered in decisions, because we, too, are an integral part of the Global MapleStory community.
There are many issues that need to be addressed regarding Interactive Worlds, as several of its mechanics are not player-friendly. Examples include untradeable event rewards in a server that is meant to support trading, nerfed event shops, the absence of a test server to help ensure smoother patch releases, and more. By listening to its community, GMS has the opportunity to take meaningful steps in the right direction.
We ask to be heard, not as isolated voices, but as the leadership of the communities still holding Luna together. We represent hundreds of dedicated players who continue to love and support MapleStory. But we need action. We need solutions that demonstrate commitment to the future of this server before it is too late.
We’re genuinely excited about the upcoming updates and the direction the game is heading. And with the spirit of “Wish Upon a Star,” we’d like to believe that up in the sky—among the stars and constellations—there’s also room for a Moon.

I a lot of us including myself feels Inkwell have brought changes to Reboot, but has neglected the glaring issues. The event shop cubes are horrible because KMS can supplement Karma Cubes with their Magic Wand and Azmos while GMS Reg (and Luna) have rewards that don't take into account our poor access to cubes.
I understand why you want to be part of crossworld bosses, AH and Meso Market so you can sell and buy items from other servers and be part of boss battles with NA, but for boss battles, you would have to deal with ping if the servers are not in the EU area. GMS Elysium, Aurora, Scania and Bera are supposed to be merged later this year, I was wonder if Luna could join in unless you want to stay impendent for whatever reasons. GMS Reg + Luna all have small popultations, so I'm thinking if us survivors should stick together unless you prefer small population but still having access to the full market and crossworld bosses. NA Servers are low on FZ sellers so merging would give us more access to meet demands and cover those odd hours.
I offer my condolences to the Dutch and Netherlands playing Reg server with nothing to work or are forced to play Reboot. One of my server members in Elysium got hit with the EU trade restrictions and can no longer trade in our market. If other Nexon games aren't affected by this restrictions, Nexon really needs to revise their policy for their flagship game.
I suggest you post this on Reddit for more support because like Luna, this place is also dead. Wishing you the best of luck from Elysium.
