How many people are REALLY still playing Maplestory?

I get told that often. quiet frankly, I think people could pick a better cereal. I prefer cinnamon toast crunch.

It has subscribers, and yet I never hear about it at all any more. There was even that phase where LoL was being called the new WoW. Point is, no matter how big a game is, it's going to die out over time because new and shiner things come out.

Aggravation is only caused by expectations.

I'm telling you they have 7 million subscribers, thats 7 million people playing, that's 10% of the human population. So your point isn't valid, and LoL is a MOBA not an MMO, so they are hardly comparable.
