Maple Story have 4 years
Welcome on Maple Mesos! As you probably know, “MapleStory” is turning 4 years old this week! Well, we will also receive up to 4 pieces of cake for each successive 40 minutes of game-play, and you receive a cake as a reward for the Maple Quiz. The cakes come every year around the anniversary, and they drop maple items very rarely. But this period is great time to earn some mesos.
As part of the celebration, Nexon is planning events for its players such as: Fourth anniversary Maple weapons, item upgrades, monster transformations, in-game items, real-life prizes and the Maple Quiz.
On this occasion, Nexon is promoting its birthday is by releasing some figures that show how popular MMORPG Maple Story has become. So Maple Story has 92 mln players around the world and 6 mln of them being in North America. Of course game is free, that’s why it has so great number of players. Compared to World of Warcraft, Maple Story has 7 x time bigger player base then this popular pay-for-play MMORPG. Almost half of 92 millions are Asian players.
I’ve found also some other informations about this event.
“After four years of service in North America, MapleStory continues to evolve and surprise us all. We are very grateful to our loyal fans and this celebration is for them,” said Min Kim, Nexon America’s Vice President of Marketing. “MapleStory fans have helped create something special and we’re going to reward them with new, exciting content to enjoy throughout the summer and beyond.” – standard blah, blah, blah
