Maple Story: Free game costing hundreds? 4 Comments
For anyone who doesn't know, Maple Story is a 2 dimensional side scrolling MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) where people from all over the world can join up and play together. Best of all, the game is free!
Or so their website says. Believe it or not, thousands and thousands of players spend hundreds of dollars on this game! Some of you may be wondering how they can call it free when people are spending so much money. Well, while it is technically free to download and play the game, the game features an option to customize your character by buying everything from hairstyles to outfits and weapons!
Fox news covered the phenomenon really recently in a story you can find on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M4SsoI4K6g). In their report, they found that Maple Story players were even resorting to stealing money and credit cards from their parents just to feed their addiction!
Now I for one don't see the point of paying REAL money on game items. Honestly it seems kind of retarded to me. Is there any out there that can shed some light on this?

WOW that is lame sorry to say thats just what me and everyone in my town thinks lmfao. I mean even Runescape beats that game. You can look around in Runescape which makes the game play soooo much better lol. Even though Maple Story has better graphics it is 2D.
lol what about habbohotel you can swear all you want then when you spend more then 20 dollars on the game you slip one time and they perm ban you and you lose all your stuff
