After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream (www.gamesradar.com)

I'm very surprised that this game can pull in a viewership of 20,000 people, even if it is a huge achievement event.

Earlier this week I was reminded of MapleStory for the first time in 15 years when I saw Nexon on the Dave the Diver title screen.

20k is a lot of eyeballs for a game thats past its prime.

I played the game a lot as a wee lad, but I genuinely cannot fathom how people still play GMS these days. Every few years I'll play for a few weeks on a private server for nostalgias sake. I'm quickly reminded why I stopped playing in the first place though.

It really is the perfect example of a "grind like it's your job" Korean MMO.

5x private servers made it tolerable.
