'MapleStory' celebrates 4 years, gives you cake

The popular 2D MMO "MapleStory" is turning four years old this week, and one way Nexon is promoting its birthday is by releasing some figures that show how popular "MapleStory" has become.

With over 92 million users around the world and six million of them being in North America, it is clear that there is a massive fan base with a mad love for this game. Of course, it easier to pull in the numbers when your game is free-to-play, but there must be something about "MapleStory" that makes it stand out over all of the other free MMORPGs out there.

As part of the celebration, Nexon is planning events for its players such as: Fourth anniversary Maple weapons, item upgrades, monster transformations, in-game items, real-life prizes and the Maple Quiz. What about cake? You can receive up to four pieces of cake for each successive 40 minutes of gameplay, and you receive a cake as a reward for the Maple Quiz.

I see what's going on here. They entice you with cake! Brilliant... Very brilliant. But is the cake a lie? I might just join to find out.
