It has been about three years since Maple Story's debut in the European and North American MMORPG markets. During these 3 years, Maple Story spread in each corner of the European and North American MMORPG markets. Millions of players stormed in and devoted their wallet to this game without any complains. Why can Maple Story be popular for so many years and why can it retain its players in such a competitive market? In this article, we will talk about the main reasons to the two "whys" above. Everyone can have his voice. If you do not agree to the opinions below, just let us hear your voice.

At first, the age group of MS is young about 13~18 year old kids like. They can not afford to pay for play and a decent computer. Maple mesos Story's f2p and low system requirement meet the demand of this age group, spacebar to jump, arrows pointing to where the quest-NPCs are.

For the other hand, a lot of people love and stick to the first online games they hear of then play. They have not played any others, so they have no standards and they think everything in Maple Story is "so awesome". Then many young people got introduced to Maplestory and it's their first MMORPG. Maple mesos Story hooks young players if they get a good BL and guild, they're not leaving. The people who play it won't give up because they have actually put 200 hours into it. One player have ever said, "I have already put like 600 hours in, so I'm pretty much a slave to MS". He's spent about 200? on cash so he's determined to play.
