"MapleStory" Private Server v75 Tutorial
MapleStory is a free, massively multiplayer online role playing game. Players log into a character account to battle baddies and quest through hundreds of worlds. Whenever players log in, they do so onto a server that hosts the game and its environment. Setting up a private server lets players fiddle around with the programming environment that creates the game space. If you host a private server, you could change where items spawn, the damage done by monsters and much more.
