45.07% PC Bang Share According to 'The Log' Statistics Service
Nexon announced on December 22 that its popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "MapleStory" has achieved the number one PC Bang market share for the first time in 22 years since its launch.
According to data from the PC Bang analytics service "The Log" as of the previous day, "MapleStory" recorded a PC Bang market share of 45.07% on that day, ranking first among all games. This figure surpasses its previous all-time high of 25%, which was set during a major update last summer, overtaking games such as League of Legends and Battlegrounds.
Nexon analyzed that this achievement was the result of a PC Bang Hot Time event held for users on December 21, the first weekend following a major update on December 18. During the event, users accessing MapleStory at participating PC Bangs received up to five hours of PC Bang usage fees covered by Nexon. Depending on their accumulated playtime, users were also rewarded with up to 10,000 Nexon Cash, up to 400 "Sol Erda Fragments," and up to ten 30-minute quadruple experience coupons.
"The Log" is a statistical service targeting "Getto" franchisees, a PC Bang platform service operated by Nexon's subsidiary, N Media Platform.
