Wizet, the company which develops Maplestory, was founded in 2001, so that should give you an idea of how small they were when kMS started in 2003(kMST). They should have grown a lot by now, but I am not sure. I saw something which hinted at an American branch having a dozen or so people a while ago.
Wizet was then bought by Nexon, who does all of the advertisement and what not. I believe the agreement is similar to how Activision works with their developers. (IW, Treyarch, Bungie, etc.)
A little excerpt from the Wizet Wiki page:

Quote:Prior to joining Nexon America, Min Kim operated the successful launch of Maplestory as the Vice President of Global Business Development in Wizet Corporation. Min started his career in video games as a senior associate of business development at Nexon Corporation pursuing new business opportunities such as a social networking service, a board game business, and online game licensing, eventually becoming the Vice President of the Nexon America branch
