3D

I heard Maplestory is actually a 3D game being transposed onto two-dimensions. Can anyone confirm this?

 Details

Apparently Nexon uses Direct X in a messed up way that treats a 3D game like 2D. Is this how all 2D games work or just Maple?

DirectX also allows drawing of 2D sprites. There are no 3D sprites anywhere in Maplestory. The only 3D-like element that Maplestory uses is Z-ordering which tells the game which layers to draw first. But that's common to any 2D game.

I see...
