Wizet needed a name that was never used before. Maplestory was that name.

The end.

Story because they wanted each adventurer to make thier own story.

Maple because it sounds decent and you can use it as a standalone word (maple island) or a descriptive noun[noclue about the correct terms] (maple X, maple weapons).

Original dev team had a Maple Tree fetish.

Should be called fcking MushroomStory or ShroomStory. I see more goddamn mushrooms than anything else in this game.

Yeah, shrooms were most of what I saw at the start, apart from the giant maple leaf on the opening screen.

Examples:

-Orange Mushroom
-Mushmom
-Shroom
-Cynical Orange Mushroom
-Blue Mushroom
-Blue Mushmom
-Zombie Mushroom
-Zombie Mushmom
-Green Mushroom

Why is LaTale called LaTale? What about World of Warcraft? Luna? Runescape?

Why's your name Francis? Are you named after a prince or something? Who named the prince, and why?

CAN'T GET ANY MORE BASIC THAN THIS

i believe he was looking for creative ways the dev team arrived at the name not the serious "thats its name cause thats what they named it" response

i believe this type of question would better fit in the funhouse

CAN'T GET ANY MORE BASIC THAN THIS

Why "why"?

La tale = the tale as in the tail of "X"

World of Warcraft is a world and they all make war hence WoW

They were rejected so they decided to create their own world clearly ripping off Canada's logo.

Edit: Nvm. There is no Canada. Its just north mexico.

I miss the old beginning days where everything is mostly mushies, pigs, and slimes -- probably how maplestory started with those monsters...? Now it's nothing but skeletons, dragons, and demons now o.o...

The original lore of Maple speaks of a giant tree at the center of Victoria Island, some kind of world tree deal. They seem to have dropped that idea though.
