I played NEXON's first online game, The Kingdom of the Winds back in the 90s, mainly to converse with the international players. An Argentine was my best friend in the game. The game is still around. Never played Maplestory.

Is this Singaporean guy part of the development team in South Korea or did he sell the idea to them?

I know of an alumni, sibei haolian (but I hasten to say that I don’t know he personally). Always posting pics of his luxurious stays, Grand Prix Grandstand seatings, poetic musings, how rich he is etc also kicked the bucket just a few days ago.
Live well, treat others well too. Afterall, while man proposes, God disposes.
