maplestory has had a lot of attempts at games, the issue is more that they either don't support them or gut them for no discernable reason.
Maplestory 2 is just the biggest example of the gutting side. The game was very specific, and the map was almost original vic island tier great, every area had it's place, world bosses in specific areas dropped specific gears so EVERYWHERE in the map was filled, and you even had max levels occasionally deathballing to get resources and pots.
Then they just... Made it a themepark, where you just follow a boring story no one gave a shit about, you never touch world bosses, you only do events and raids for gear, and then suddenly the entire game was empty besides towns, no one bothered doing PVP anymore (though that had other issues like p2w with the paid elixirs healing better and having lower cds and less limits).
It was already failed by the time it made it stateside, remember how they advertised it with that fucking battle royale mode, that I don't even think existed on launch? lmao.
Custom dungeons that they had full discords and private forums for (though admittedly most of them also got early access to maplestory worlds, not that any of them took it up, they just went to roblox instead), the grand prix I think eventually came out but I'd quit by that point, so much shit they promised and showed off to just not follow up on in favor of shitting out more generic MMO slop content, more boring raids, more housing garbage. MS2 was fucking awful, and it all started with them removing the original, good zakum for some "MEMBER 2D MEMBER MEMBER LOOK ITS 2D REMEMBER COOL NOSTALGIA WOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH". still fuckin mad eleven years later.
