So 40 percent of maplers are female

Also, on average each mapler pays $22.05 in game. Ha.

Oh and this :

Last year, NEXON Co., Ltd. reported ¥ 87.61 billion [b]($1.1 billion) in revenues,[/b] an increase of 26 percent over fiscal 2010. As a global company, we experienced growth across all our key metrics and we are forecasting growth in revenue this year as well. MapleStory has been a major success in North America and to see so many players take advantage of the depth and richness of the game and create so many characters stands as testament to our success.

I can easily believe that average of how much each mapler pays, because some people buy thousands upon thousands of NX, and some buy none, and most buy a little, maybe like $20-40+ a year (because that $22.05 is per quarter, multiply it by 4) so it all averages out nicely.

false info? nexon doesnt know people's real age because they prob just take account information such as age and gender to implement into their biased charts

[quote=Glazedmaple]Anyone remember when you could only create your character as the gender you specified yourself as during account creation?[/quote]

each PAYING mapler. only counts those who buy NX cash at all.

and you can choose what sex you want each of your characters to be. your account isn't limited to male/female. i for example have 3 male characters and a female mule

18-29 eh? Did i mention i registered as a 22 year old so they don't bother me with all that under 13/18 cráp?
