A good website that discusses about "Maple Story" in-game mechanics..

I'm doing a research paper on gaming, and I wanted to cover MMOs in it. It's about relating an MMO to reality as well as describing the pros and cons of gaming, like the law of "Supply and Demand", hand-eye coordination, yada yada yada.

I need a 'real' website, and not a message-board. So I was wondering if any of you guys would know a site (and please NO wikipedia or strategy-wiki!) that discusses about the in-game mechanics of MS. Such as, the keyboard layout and stuff, how players interacts in MS, how the world of MS is like, etc. Nexon has VERY LITTLE INFORMATION on their own game that it's sickening. I tried looking up stuff on both the main webpage as well as the MS one, ugh. The reason I need webpages, is so I can have a source.

I'd also like a link to that one video about that one girl appearing on Fox News because she played too much MS and stole her mother's credit card or whatever too. No youtube, Hulu links or whatever, please. thank you! >_<

There is ayumilove's blog that details quite a bit on Maple. Although some of it isn't accurate, it may help a bit.

Not likely, since Fox probably deleted that video by now. They delete old videos. Anyways, why not Youtube? I know the MLA citations even have a special format for Youtube videos.

The thing is, the information regarding the game is...well, taught in game. You learn as you go, you dont read a manual or take a 3 credit university course for 3 months, then start playing. If you need sources, it's almost impossible to find. As to what you're looking for, this was as close as I could get: http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART...ted/GameUI

After a lot of searching, the <only> things I could find was the youtube video. That's most likely your best bet, unfortunately =/ If you need articles though, try google news.
