Free-to-play is the trend of last year; right now, the "in" thing for MMOs is to get a coveted spot on Steam's store.
MapleStory has made the move to the cool kids' table, apparently, as
Nexon announced that the title
is now available through Valve's digital service.
While
MapleStory is free-to-play through the service, Nexon and Steam are offering two additional package deals for those interested in plunking down a few bucks for in-game goodies. The $9.99 starter pack includes a 30-day stat-boosting pendant, a teleport rock, a pair of megaphones, and a brown kitty pet that has a three-month lifespan. Alternatively, players may elect to buy the $4.99 value pack, which just has the teleport rock and pet.
MapleStory recently released its Mutiny update, which overhauled the Pirate and Dual Blade classes and added several new "mini-dungeons."

Re: MapleStory lands on Steam with special offers
I like how they don't mention that the teleport rock is 1 day only. All the packages cost more than DLC for most games and lasts a few months at most. What a rip off.

It's not really a ripoff in the sense that all those items together DO cost more than $5/$10.
Of course, it looks like a ripoff to anyone else. Who hasn't played MapleStory.
