CD's

Various versions of MapleStory were distributed on physical CDs across multiple regions. These CDs, released mostly in the mid-to-late 2000s, served as a way to install the client without long downloads and were often packaged with bonus content like NX codes, exclusive items, or printed materials. The CD packaging itself often featured unique regional branding, version-specific artwork (such as NPCs or classes), and promotional inserts that reflected the current major update at the time of release.


Most MapleStory CDs were retail products sold through major electronics, gaming, and convenience stores. Alongside retail editions, there were also limited promotional CDs distributed for free during promotional events.
