    I’m very surprised that this game can pull in a viewership of 20,000 people, even if it is a huge achievement event.

      Earlier this week I was reminded of MapleStory for the first time in 15 years when I saw Nexon on the Dave the Diver title screen.

      20k is a lot of eyeballs for a game thats past its prime.

        I played the game a lot as a wee lad, but I genuinely cannot fathom how people still play GMS these days. Every few years I’ll play for a few weeks on a private server for nostalgias sake. I’m quickly reminded why I stopped playing in the first place though.

          It really is the perfect example of a “grind like it’s your job” Korean MMO.

          5x private servers made it tolerable.
