Maplestory 2 finally came out last week! Published by Nexon, the game is currently only available in selected regions including North and South America, Oceania and Europe. If you happen to live outside of these areas, you won’t be able to download the game altogether. Since there isn’t any news on a South East Asia release, here’s a way to skip the wait and start playing now. Here’s a guide on how to download Maplestory 2 in SEA by using VPN! You’re going to have downloaded several things so follow the steps closely.
UPDATE: If you ever get “Wrong credentials” please take your own initiative to check VPN Book for the new password, they change it every other week. You can get the new password here.

The VPN speed is extremely slow and will probably take forever for the download to complete if you don’t disconnect and use your actual connection. So make sure you follow the steps closely and do that. Once your download is complete, head on over to this article on how to launch and play Maplestory 2 SEA.

I love it! You are a savior! Been trying to gain access to this game since it came out. Will finally try this game out and will surely tell my friends about it.
No problem! Remember to share it with your friends 😀
Tried. Works 100%. See you guys in game!
Awesome! Happy mapling ~
Just download and install ULTRASURF, then connect automatically. Then open the Nexon launcher and download the client.
Haven’t tried that, thanks for the suggestion 😀
question if you finish downloading it can you close the ultrasurf while playing maple story 2 ??
I’m not sure about Ultrasurf since I didn’t try out that method. I suppose you can , after you launch the client of course. I suggest following our steps in
when you finish downloading it can you play maple story turning off the ultrasurlf ??
why do i always got a reactivate account message everytime i tried to log in in the nexon launcher?
i already make sure that i logged in after the connection got through..
Cause the launcher detect you as a different area/person every time you turn on the VPN . To avoid this , tick the auto log in everytime option
It helped! thanks!
having trouble connect to vpn, it look like this Thu Oct 18 17:52:22 2018 MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1539856342,CONNECTED,ERROR,10.9.0.54,198.7
You may want to try other VPNs too…
Did you try the new ID and pw ? VPNBook just updated it
Can I play the game on Steam in Malaysia?
It’s also region lock on Steam. You’ll need to have VPN to play it.
Nope . Only way is via Nexon Launcher with this method
That’s ok, but maybe these cheap mesos from https://www.mmoah.com/maplestory-2 could help me a lot….
thank for this. But there a lil bit problem. It cant let me go in the game. the Error is 10060. Plz help, thank you
These error codes refer to your Firewall blocking a MapleStory 2 page.
To resolve this, please temporarily disable your Firewall before launching MapleStory 2. You can also add an exception to your firewall to the following page: ugc.maplestory2.nexon.net
Should the error persist, then please adjust your Internet Options:
Open Control Panel
Locate and click on “Internet Options”
Navigate to the Advanced tab
Search through the Settings and locate a Security option for “Do not save encrypted pages to disk”
Un-check this checkbox
Click on “Apply” and “OK” to save changes
i found out that once you click the download u can disconnect the vpn so you dont have to wait forever to download 😀
Yeh I mentioned that in the last paragraph 😛
I can’t seem to open neon Launcher whenever i connect with the VPN
Is it your first launch ?
Yea it is i am using bootcamp too
Okay first launch you have to do it without the VPN . Cause there’s an update and the VPN is too slow to download the first-time launch files. Once you’ve updated , close the launcher , turn on VPN and open it again . Check the guide for detailed steps , it’s mentioned up there 🙂 If you still need help, do drop by our Discord , you can get a faster response there from me xD
If there is an update on the Maplestory client, how do we go about downloading it ?
Yea there was . Same method with the download .
by disconnecting your VPN and getting to play Maple Story 2 is it laggy?
My ping is typically around 200~300ms . It’s playable but there’s a noticeable delay. But ultimately, u have to dc from the VPN . Or the Maple client won’t let you select character .
is there a vpn that lets u connect to OCE instead? i got ping problems :/
Doesn’t matter what VPN you use, you can just select Oceania from the server list upon launching the game.
hey hey i cant connect to the vpn??? it says vpnbook-us1-tcp443 has failed
Is it normal that the verify takes very long?
Yep! Just be patient . Cause VPN is slow , it runs on kb/s .
Okay! ^-^
I keep getting error 10053 about 2-5 mins in the game. Any fix for this?
Where are you connecting from? Country?
i did the all steps vpn got connected and dowloaded the game but i still cant play it everytime i click play it pops out an error saying im trying to access from outside of their service ?? help ty
Have you followed part 2 of the guide? https://bestinslot.co/how-to-download-maplestory-2-sea/
THX! ALOT!
i got to play the game but my attacks are delaying. how do i solve this problem
Wait for SEA server XD we’re connecting to US / OCE here . there’s no way around this . it’s just a way to get in the game and play but it’s really not meant for us since there’s no SEA server yet 🙁 so the only way to enjoy no delay , is to wait for SEA but for now , this is all we got D:
[…] How to download Maplestory 2 in SEA region (with picture guides) […]
Just asking but how long will the wait 84years part be ;-;
Took me like 20 minutes with OpenVPN xD Try Windscribe, alot faster . same method
Can i use windscribe for the second part?
Thanks for the tutorial it worked and I’ve played for a day but…the next day Nexon logged me out despite clicking the option to keep me logged in 🙁
Nexon keeps asking me to reactivate my account but I can’t do it using a VPN. Once I turn it off I can reactivate it but then I won’t be able to launch the game. I don’t know what to do T_T I’m so sad because I already have a character.
Please check my How to update guide . I have tips on that guide on how to deal with reactivation. basically , use your phone browser or email app .

The password for the vpn is wrong , is there a fix for it ?
There’s a new password: 5bhea6u
Idk if i have sent this already or not but the VPN password isnt working anymore
New password! 5bhea6u . Updated in article:)
Hey Eri! is there a discord server we could join to ask for help?
Here you go! https://discord.gg/vMs86HN Come to the #maplestory2 channel 🙂
HELP the vpn suddenly is not working D: D;
Is it the password ? If yes theres a new one check the post , I updated 🙂
Right-click on the OpenVPN GUI icon and connect to vpnbook-us1-tcp443.
HELP! I have trouble logging in to the nexon launcher while my VPN is on. =(
Can you be more specific?
I’m always getting error at downloading the game, it say “content servers unreachable”. what’s that?
You possibly have weak internet connection.
You have slow internet maybe ? That’s a connection time out error .
Hi, i’ve followed your above steps but i still have the error code 10060 when i clicked onto the server. Advise please, thanks 🙂
Just try again . That error usually means either server was down for maintenance or server full.
it says Wrong Credential.. when connecting to VPN. I’ve got the id and pw correct. Please advice. Thank you
new pw: e2bhr63
Helloo !! How do i connect “OpenVPN GUI icon and connect to vpnbook-us1-tcp443.” cuz i dont have the vpnbook-us1-tcp443 … help me !!!
That’s cause you didn’t download it lol . You skipped a step . Re-read the guide from Setting up the VPN .
The new password got wrong credentials. Please help!!!
Updated.
Have you encountered any major problems when you’re playing the game using this method? Like is there a lot of lag or stuff like that (idk, sort of a beginner when it comes to this stuff :D)?
I just don’t want to go through all this stuff, when, if in the end, the gameplay itself is not so good.
– also when I’m making my Nexon account can I just select any country?
Thanks in advance! 😀
Yea lots of people stopped playing now cauze endgame too RNG base 🙁 as for country , have to select Nexon supported ones . Basically EU or America
Thx for the quick reply!
Hi brother, is smthing wrong with the server ? cause it said no certificate to connect
been playing for a while then this happened
Probably was on maintenance?
I already did all the steps instructed but i still get wrong credentials error. I even check the latest password from vpnbook twitter. Still not working. Any idea why? T-T
They changed again : fn7rbca
it say connecting to vpnbook-us1 – tcp443 has failed
I use the latest from vpnbook id and pass ady
Hi , try this other VPN – Windscribe
