In the oldest available closed beta client for Korean MapleStory (dating back around 2003), there were four different NPCs that weren't being used at all. They have functions defined in the game's files, dialogue and quests assigned, but they were most probably used prior to this version, or never implemented in the game. Nothing much is known about the NPCs, and there's not much information about them in old korean forums for the game.

This article covers unused and cut content from Korean MapleStory, focusing on elements present during closed beta testing, incomplete implementations, and test server exclusives.

For region-specific content available in other regions of MapleStory, see Overseas Content.


Closed Beta NPCs

The oldest available closed beta client for Korean MapleStory (circa 2003) contains four unused NPCs. While these NPCs have functions, dialogue, and quests defined in the game files, they were never actually implemented. They were likely either used in an earlier build or planned but abandoned before this version.

Notably, some of these NPCs have low ID numbers, suggesting they were created during the earliest stages of development. Little information about these NPCs exists in old Korean MapleStory forums.

반스

반스
ID 70
Role Swordsman Job Change (Possibly)
Location Unknown
First found KMS v1.21

반스 (Banseu) is an NPC dressed in a green guard uniform, carrying a staff topped with gold. His hat is distinctly mushroom-shaped. Based on his nearly identical uniform, he appears to have been designed as a guard alongside 에블라 (Ebeulla).

His quest value of fighter in the game files suggests he was the NPC responsible for Swordsman job advancements during the closed beta period.


Banseu has three dialogues:

Korean English
이곳은 정말 평화롭군... 덕분에 내가 할 일이 없네... "This place is really peaceful... Thanks to that, I’ve got nothing to do..."
내가 졸고 있는 것처럼 보이나? 이렇게 생겨먹어 어쩔수 없다고... "Do I look like I’m dozing off? I was just born looking like this, I can’t help it..."
콧수염이 멋지지? 하지만 밥 먹을때 걸리적 거려서 불편한게 이만 저만이 아니야. "Nice mustache, right? But it gets in the way when I eat—it's more annoying than you can imagine."

에블라

에블라
ID 180
Role Magician Job Change (Possibly)
Location Unknown
First found KMS v1.21


에블라 (Ebeulla) wears a green uniform nearly identical to 반스 (Banseu)s, but carries a polearm instead of a staff, giving him a more warrior-like appearance. His quest value is set to magician in the game files, suggesting he served as the Magician job advancement NPC before Grendel the Really Old was introduced, despite his design.

Ebeulla has the following dialogues:

Korean English
엠블라라는 고명한 학자를 알고 있어? 그분과 이름이 비슷해서 착각하는 사람들이 있더라구. "Do you know the famous scholar named Embla? People often confuse me with them because our names sound alike."
이 부근의 치안을 담당하고 있지만 이렇게 조용해서야 원... "I'm in charge of security around here, but it's so quiet, there's barely anything to do..."
당신도 말썽 일으키지 않도록 행동 조심해. "You better behave yourself too, don’t go causing trouble."

Note: Korean text translated using AI assistance.

An interesting detail in his dialogue is a reference to 엠블라 (Embla), described as a renowned scholar. This NPC does not appear anywhere in the game files, suggesting Embla may have been an even earlier NPC from pre-beta development that was removed before this build. However, there is currently no way to confirm this theory.

루시

에블라
ID 220
Role Weapon Store
Location Amherst (Possibly)
First found KMS v1.20

루시 (Lucy) is a weapon shop NPC from early development. She is likely an early version of Lucy, a shopkeeper in Amherst.

Those are the dialogues she has in the game.

Korean English
쌉니다! 싸요~! "Cheap! Super cheap~!"
오늘 갓 들여온 물건들입니다~ "These are freshly stocked items for today~"
어서 오세요~! "Welcome~!"
아유 귀여운 총각~ 나좀 봐줘~ "Oh my, what a cute young man~ Pay attention to me~"
유후~♡ "Yoo-hoo~♡"
나 섹시해? "Am I sexy?"

루퍼트

루퍼트
ID 2001005
Role 3rd Job Instructor
Location Happyville
First found KMS v1.55

루퍼트 (Rupert) is an NPC that shares sprite with Magician Job Instructor. He is found in Happyville, before El Nath was introduced in the game, during the same period where 3rd job skills had a placeholder icon and were not fully developed. Has the quest value of job_3th, and contrary to the previous NPCs that had a quest value, this one is unique, was never reused and in the BrasilMS Server Leak the script for it is totally empty.

Rupert is most likely a helper NPC to get your 3rd job change before the quest we all know was properly introduced, or an NPC used to test the new job.

Korean English
3차 전직을 하고 싶으십니까? 그렇다면 저에게... "Do you want to make your 3rd job advancement? Then come to me..."
3차 전직을 하실 분은 이쪽으로... "Those who wish to make their 3rd job advancement, this way..."
