Grinding, grinding, grinding. The staple of a true Korean RPG, now in multiplayer form! Many secrets are to be found in what is perhaps the most successful free to play game in the world.

Unused Music

File Name Track Sound.Wz Data Notes
Elfwood noicon Bgm03/Elfwood Unclear where it would have been used. Not similar to any other tracks in-game, almost as if it was made by a different composer.
Hana
BgmJP/Hana Alternate version of the Yume background music used in Showa Town.
WCSelect
BgmUI/WCSelect Vaguely similar to the track CavaBien used in Henesys. May have been used at the login and/or server select screen in early development.
WhereTheBarlogFrom
Bgm01/WhereTheBarlogFrom Presumably would have been used in the one of the Balrog boss fights.

Removed Map Data

Beta Free Markets

During beta testing, several towns had dedicated free market entrances and rooms for players to trade in, themed after the town they were located in. When the game was officially released, the free market underwent a large revamp, with a universal free market entrance appearing in a large number of towns instead of dedicated ones for individual towns. While some of the maps were modified and recycled into universal free market rooms, the original entrance maps were cut and are now completely absent in the game's client. Interestingly enough, a few of these maps were cut before players even got to see them, due to some areas not being officially released at the time, though they are actually accessible and working in the beta client.

Map Name Minimap Map.Wz Data Notes
El Nath Free Market noicon noicon Entrance: 211000110
Rooms: 211000110 - 211000115
Was working and accessible in Global MapleStory Beta, but off limits to players due to El Nath not being licensed yet. Few players got to see this area due to a glitch with the Happyville event. Entrance map entirely missing in the data of official releases, rooms modified and recycled for present-day FM rooms.
Henesys Free Market noicon noicon Entrance: 100000110
Rooms: 100000111 - 100000119
Dedicated free market in Henesys was used in Global MapleStory Beta. Entrance map entirely missing in the data of official releases, rooms modified and recycled into the present-day FM rooms.
Ludibrium Free Market noicon noicon Entrance: 220000200
Rooms: 220000201 - 220000209
Was working and accessible in Global MapleStory Beta, but off limits to players due to Ludibrium not being licensed yet. Entrance map entirely missing in the data of official releases, rooms modified and recycled for present-day FM rooms.
Perion Free Market noicon noicon Entrance: 102000100
Rooms: 102000101 - 102000109
Dedicated free market in Perion was used in Global MapleStory Beta. Entrance map entirely missing in the data of official releases, rooms were heavily revamped (portals were relocated and platform length was changed) and recycled for present-day FM rooms.

GM Tool

MapleStory banning tool.png There's data for a banning tool in the client. This is notable because the game masters have a different client than the players with their own text console for banning and such. However, it is known that this wasn't always the case, so this appears to be a leftover from when GMs accessed the game using the same client as the players.

Region-exclusive Content

MapleStory Japan has an exclusive Rock-Paper-Scissors minigame, which is present in the data of other versions and presumably can work, but is not utilized anywhere in-game.
