Do you guys think MapleStory is FUN?

Events are an enormous part of Maplestory. Excluding that makes it an unfair evaluation (not that any of these polls/surveys have ever done anything ever). A ton of people come back for only events because they think they are fun.

and Bryan already said, but mini games and events are a huge part of MapleStory these days, you can't skip over that entirely. The Mesoranger DDR events and Monsteropoly are very fun imo

Well technically you can exclude the events since, the events we get don't last. When the event ends then what happens then? Like monstermonopoly wont always be here, when that ends all there would be left is the aspects of maplestory that are permanently available.
So sure you could say they're a enormous part of MapleStory since we ALWAYS get them and will ALWAYS(maybe) will. But i wouldn't count them as a core since oneday the events will end and all there would be left is what we currently have in-game.

It's a game. If people are playing it then they find something about it fun, otherwise they wouldn't bother to log on.

Eh i disagree.
The reason to why some people still play MapleStory is because of all the time and money they already invested into it. Even if they strongly disliked maplestory now, they would have a hard time to just abandon all their progress.

Also other reason could be addiction. There are some people who forget maplestory is even a game where you're suppose to have fun, some people dedicate their lives to this game and/or treat it as a fulltime/parttime job. Which i cant really blame them for, since that's whats required of you to get somewhere in this game if you don't wanna spend absolutely any real money. :/

And OTHER reason could be just because their friends are playing it, they could find the game absolute crap but still log-on to play ONLY due to their friends.

I think what the OP doesn't understand is masochists enjoy disappointment, they enjoy negative feelings, so you can't define fun as "enjoyable".

Yeah this is what i'm starting to believe.
Like seriously, despite all the horribleness and negativity that's maplestory from the terrible customer service to the bland, repetitive, pay2win gameplay, excessive disconnections, and hackers/botters this game still has thousands of players coming online every day.


This guy named IImaplers quote is exactly how i feel and been thinking. (This quote also made me laugh so hard for some reason):

Why would anyone in their right mind still play maplestory?
