The Metaverse gained popularity when Facebook—now Meta—started talking about it and even rebranded the company. It’s such a cool concept on paper, but turning it into reality is clearly not easy. We’ve seen glimpses of projects, especially in gaming, that try to implement Metaverse-like ideas, but they haven’t always been consistent—or maybe I’m wrong. Honestly, I’m starting to think the Metaverse won’t become a full reality, at least not for a few more years.

That said, upcoming gaming projects like MapleStory are integrating virtual worlds into their gameplay, giving players more control and a more immersive experience. It’s a great concept, but can it really thrive and survive in tough market conditions?

I haven’t played the game myself since I haven’t been able to access the test phase. Has anyone else?
