Yes it is legit to use VmWare to play maple story, I don't get why you would want to.

You can have as many VMWare windows open, as long as you can support the memory usage and have a good internet connection. And you don't need to delete any accounts to use VMWare...

i dont think VMware support DirectX, so you can't play maplestory on there EDIT: VMware Fusion has DirectX, but i dont know if you can play maple

I believe what she is asking is can she bypass the time-limited free trial of VMWare by just creating new user accounts every 30 days. Not sure how VMWare handles it, but some time limited software use system-wide tracking-so its per computer, not user.

I just wanted to see how it works and if this method can work

You'll be disappointed. I tried it out for myself with a MapleStory running on VMWare (XP Pro) and my desktop (Vista) and it lagged like CRAZY to the infinitinth power.
