   Maplestory?
  So yes, about Maplestory. I've been curious about how it works, and I have a few questions about it if anybody knows.What graphics library does it use?What type of server?What sort of programming goes into it?I know some is a little ambiguous, but I'm in high school, take C++ courses and am really interested in the ways MMORPGS work, especially this one for some reason! If anyone has any info about it, please share! :) Thanks everyone!   
  I know very little about this game but I can try and give you a brief overview of the sort of work that needs to go into a game like it.Type of server, I'm not sure whether you're referring to the physical hardware or the software running on it. The software would no doubt be some proprietary affair written specifically to serve the Maplestory clients.A game like this is made up lots of elements. you will need graphics programming, AI programming, network programming, audio programming, physics programming and some general system programming for utilities and such. It's a huge undertaking and requires a team of people with abilities across these various fields to get it working. And that's not even including content (models, textures, sounds, scripts etc)!
