Mega successful kid-friendly, 2-D MMO MapleStory celebrates the fourth anniversary of its U.S. debut this week, and to celebrate publisher Nexon has revealed some figures detailing the success of the online world.
To date, the title has hooked "over 92 million worldwide users," Nexon claims. Of those, around 6 million are located in North America.
Pulling down a large audience is rather simple when you have a game that is free to play, but Nexon also released a statistic demonstrating their fan's rabid love for the game.
"Maplers have traveled through the many lands of the game’s vast world, as well as unleashed the game’s traits of individuality and freedom beyond its game borders," the press release states. "Players have turned MapleStory into an online video mainstay through blogs, community fan sites and fan videos. Over 200,000 videos are available by searching MapleStory at YouTube."
Additionally, Nexon plans to offer players a few anniversary events in the near future. Full details can be found below.
Alongside daily events to commemorate the anniversary, Nexon has the following planned for players:
