Nexon America's survey shows 40% response from young women

MapleStory has been going strong for an impressive eight years with its mix of bright 2D graphics and RPG elements. As part of its look at just what the outlook is for the summer--and not just the weather--Nexon America commissioned a survey which indicated that those who participated between the age of 18-29 plan on jumping into the online sphere even as the months heat up.

Most encouraging is the increasing proportion of women who are participating, as they comprised a reported 40% of respondents.

More young women gamers can only lead to more women developers of the future to start knocking aside the overdose of testosterone in the industry.
