People play maplestory because they perceive it as being fun.
What you're really trying to ask is "why do people perceive this game as being fun?"
There is no one answer to this question, and it often involves a combination of more than one variable, such as friends & community, game mechanics, character customization, and that ability to play for free for example.
I play mostly because I get to talk to people, but in a setting that differs from something as basic as a chat room. There's other factors to it, but that's what makes it fun to me.
