Maplers who joined from across the world enjoyed a MapleStory themed live concert, various brick-building activities sponsored by SOHO Bricks, and got to connect with content creations in person. Cosplay fans got to show off their best MapleStory costumes and fans also won multiple prizes including exclusive DXRacer branded chairs and official merchandise through raffles. All attendees of the event received one-of-a-kind free gifts.

During this event, MapleStory celebrated its 14th anniversary with developers sharing their favorite memories and thanking players for their support.
