After researching MapleStory @MaplestoryU, I have a few thoughts on my understanding of this game.

1️⃣ It shouldn't be just a scheme to make quick money because it's not worth it. Considering the value of the MapleStory IP and the wealth of its parent company Nexon, releasing a crypto scheme to make some money while damaging their reputation is not worthwhile for them.

2️⃣ Currently, it's not an extremely profitable game; the earnings don't compare to food delivery. Based on what many people share, the earnings are around 2 dollars per hour; this game might be sustainable long-term, but I haven't seen any signs of a breakout yet.

3️⃣ The project team is cautious and frequently adjusting the values. The balance of values presented in the game is crucial: how much is produced and how much is consumed. Since many players have reported that the earnings don't meet expectations, some adjustments will be made soon. Although I suspect the adjustments won't be significant.

4️⃣ There are still many bots; in the 200-300 thousand daily active users, studios cannot be underestimated, and they have impacted many players' experiences (community feedback).

5️⃣ The game hasn't been live for long, and many aspects are still under observation, but I think moderate low income isn't a bad thing; it’s more beneficial for the long-term development of the game, helping to eliminate studios. However, for someone like me who is into crypto speculation, this asset isn't of the short-term explosive type. It may be more like AXIE than STEPN.

6️⃣ The team/investors are putting in a lot of effort @domidom88 @nexpacetime, which is one of the traits that attracts me.

7️⃣ The value of the traditional IP is yet to be proven. How many people are willing to transition from the traditional MapleStory to MapleStory N, especially now that there are so many game choices? The game's inherent appeal is also crucial.
