Nexon may not have created the free-to-play MMORPG category with Maple Story, but few titles are as synonymous with the genre as this grind-heavy, 2D cartoon sidescroller.

With a subscriber-base 100 million strong, Nexon aims to please everyone with the implementation of various mini-games, in-game marriage, regular events, and an ever-growing list of items, enemies, classes, and worlds to explore. Unlike many MMORPGs, Maple Story features realtime combat similar to sidescrollers like Smash Bros.
