Nexon has announced that its MMO, MapleStory, has 67 million registered users across Asia and North America. What's more, Nexon aims to increase the number as Maple Story gains official support in Europe.
Though it was released in South Korea in 2003, MapleStory didn't come to North America until 2006-- where, according to Nexon, the fantasy MMO gained three million subscribers in four months. Now Europeans can join in, and the company's promised weekly content updates and localized events with tie-ins to real-world happenings on the continent.
MapleStory has always been free to play, but characters can purchase bonuses and virtual goods for their avatars; revenue from such micropayments is the primary component of Nexon's reported $250 million earnings from games.
"Now gamers all over Europe can enjoy MapleStory's delightful visuals, vibrant community and simple, yet truly compelling gameplay," said Calvin Yoo, director of international business development at NEXON Europe. "We look forward to making many more exciting MapleStory announcements over the coming months."
