    Maplestory is Maplestory because Maplestory is Maplestory. Therefore Maplestory is Maplestory.



    See what it's called in other languages.

    I have no idea why it's "Maple...", but they have the whole maple leaf thing. Perhaps they thought maple leaves and/or trees are cool? It's "...Story" because you (the player) are telling the story of your character. It's the story of how your weak beginner became a powerful Dragon Knight/Cleric/Hermit/whatever. Ever notice that the log-in screen is an open book.

    ...uhm, right. But unlike the examples you cited, "Maplestory" is a combination of two words, "maple" and "story", both of which mean something. The question was, why use these two particular words?
    I can see where "story" comes from, but why "maple"? Why not.. "cactus"?
    I gave up Maple in exchange for an active sex and social life.

    Those are the words we COULD use before Story.
