We are planning to give a fresh look for our Hidden Street MapleStory sites.

For more info, visit this thread in our forum:

If you're looking to purchase some PC games, you would be interested to know that Direct2Drive is running a string of deals under their Spring Sale that would end on May 9, 2010.

Games on sale include:

- Mass Effect 1 & 2 Bundle
- Aion
- Civilization 4: The Complete Edition
- Fallout 3

and many more!

In addition to the sale, you can get $15 in store credit when you spend $75 during the Spring Sale.

Also, when you do purchase any games from them, it will help us in paying some of the ever-increasing server costs for Hidden Street.

We have finished adding Evan's skills to the database. We will also continue to update the database with the latest additions introduced with the latest 0.84 patch within the next week or two.

We'll announce any completed updates in this news item.

Happy Mapling! :)

We've made a few new improved changes to the database that would hopefully make things easier for our visitors.

1. All individual maps will now display a link directly to the parent map concerned. That way, it is now easier for you guys to navigate a certain area as you will be able to see the "big picture" of the area better.

Case in point: search for any individual map's name, or click here for an example.

2. Sub-quests (that belong to a parent quest) can now be searched via our search function. Similar to the above, there will be a link to the parent quest concerned.

We appreciate any comments or criticisms that you may have regarding this. :)

Our server has been encountering various difficulties in the past few months, and ultimately, after facing problems to resolve them, we have decided to upgrade the server to cope with the incredibly high load.

With this upgrade, you may encounter some page loading problems as we work to fine-tune the server accordingly over the next few days. Additionally, our domain may still be pointing towards the old server, and this is completely out of our control. We ask for your patience and understanding in the coming days, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Further updates on what has been added to the database will be constantly updated here.

What's done thus far:

- Maps and monsters for Kerning Square
- Maps and monsters for Neo City

In a great concerted effort to improve Hidden Street, after giving our forum a new makeover and upgrade, we have decided to integrate the old Guides section into its very own Guides board.

You can read more about its changes here. But part of the main motivation to initiate this change is the restrictive "79 characters per line" rule, and the fact that images cannot be used.

We welcome any comments, constructive criticisms, or suggestions with regards to this change.

Our previous trial of a few months of our Feedback platform has been relatively lukewarm, so we've decided to abolish it completely and move it to the Feedback & Suggestions board of our forum. This will ensure that you'll get the fastest response possible from our Administrators, Moderators, Database Moderators, and other users - at least, whenever our busy schedules do not tie us down.

If you do not have an account in our forum, do sign up for one - it will take you less than 2 minutes. Also, if you do not receive any verification e-mail when signing up, do send us an e-mail about it at contact [at] hidden-street [dot] net.

While we prefer database corrections/updates/feedback via the Feedback & Suggestions board, this does not mean that we're excluding feedback from e-mails. If, for any reason, that you wish to contact us privately or anonymously via-e-mail, you may still do so at contact [at] hidden-street [dot] net.

If you have not visited our forum yet, you're warmly invited to our humble abode.

Hello Maplers,

We apologise again for the massive downtime experienced as of late as the server has been choking under massive load. We're currently working on re-configuring the server for a more permanent solution, thus while we're working on that, another downtime lasting about a few hours is to be expected within the next few days. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Fingers crossed that it'll be our final downtime for a very long time.
