Nexon is recruiting Volunteer Moderators (VMs) for the MapleStory Classic World community on Discord. The announcement was posted on October 19, 2026, two days before Grand Launch on October 21, 2026.
What Nexon announced
The post appeared in the ClassicWorld News channel of the official MapleStory Discord server. Per Nexon's announcement on the official MapleStory Discord, the company is looking for new VMs to help keep the MapleStory Classic community on Discord running smoothly for everyone.
As of October 19, the announcement has not appeared on Nexon's website news page. Everything here comes from the Discord post.
Who Nexon wants
- People who are interested in MapleStory Classic.
- People who are available during night hours, Pacific Time.
Nexon's announcement encourages people to apply even if they are not sure they are a perfect fit.
How to apply
Nexon's announcement says applications go through a Google Form: apply to be a Volunteer Moderator here (the link Nexon posted in its announcement). Apply only through the form in Nexon's own announcement. The form asks for an application, not account credentials. Never share your Nexon account password with anyone who offers you a moderator role.
What Nexon did not say
The announcement leaves several points open. None of the following has been stated:
- How many moderators Nexon needs.
- The application deadline.
- What the role involves day to day, beyond keeping the community running smoothly.
- Any age or experience requirement.
- Whether the role is paid. The title says volunteer.
We will not guess at these. If Nexon publishes more detail, we will update this story.
Why night hours Pacific Time
Nexon has not said why it wants night coverage. Night hours in Pacific Time fall in the daytime in Asia and Oceania. That is our observation, not a statement from Nexon. We have no data on the size of the Discord community and are not citing any.
Context for this week
Grand Launch is October 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT, when Classic World opens to everyone. The Discord community is expected to grow around that date. That expectation is ours; Nexon's post does not make that link.
Nexon also recently announced 1,379 bans for hacking and botting on the same Discord channel. The moderator post does not mention those bans, and Nexon has not tied the two announcements together.
What it means for players
Nothing changes in the game itself. This is a community role on Discord. If you play in Pacific night hours and want to apply, use the form from the official announcement. If you are only a player, the post needs no action from you.
