MapleStory is one of the more successful and longest-running massively-multiplayer-online games currently available. South Korean developer of the game Wizet has joined up with BTS, the popular Korean boy band, for a collaboration of sorts for MapleStory. The first video has been released, and it is quite entertaining.
This is not the first time the group has had fun together involving video games, as BTS recently played Fall Guys on its web series. In this instance, the boy band came together to discuss their memories of playing the game when they were younger, quizzed each other about the MMORPG, talked about food from the game they'd want to eat in real life, and more.
The video series looks to be in three parts, according to the MapleStory website. This first video started out with the group singing a theme song for the game, as well as humming along to various tunes from one of the best MMO adventures out there. The collaboration also seems to be very well produced, with hilarious camera work, editing, and more. The group spends much of the time laughing and enjoying themselves, with one member claiming that, "it's been forever since everyone was awake talking and having fun like this." Being in a band, on the road, and constantly working is certainly taxing. It looks like MapleStory, and simply having fun talking about it, has been a fun way for the group to unwind.
One of the exciting aspects of Maple Story is simply its entry points as it's a free-to-play game that has been played by millions around the world, especially in the hey-day of the MMO genre, most games came with subscription fees. MapleStory is still free, meaning it's a title that can be enjoyed by all.
MapleStory is available now for free on PC.
