The computer game I will be analyzing is a free-to-play, 2D, one of the most popular fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game called Maplestory. The platform is a 2D scrolling layout game where the player executes and control action mainly through the keyboard and mouse to click on such as NPC and other players. It is developed by Wizet, a South Korean Company and has multiple publishers for each country such as Nexon as the big main company. The game consists of the spectrum of both paidia and ludus concepts as players are free to improvise their characters and objectives, however within the limits of the game.

We didn’t have knowledge on how certain mobile games were successful at this point, so that idea was the best that we had.
