Now the client has a "Maplestory has stopped working" Windows notification before I get past the "Pick the server you want to log in to" screen when I open it up after a system restart (tested, confirmed to be consistent). I do enjoy WinAmp in the background and I often have Chrome open but seriously guys, why the constant crashing and losing connection now?
6 times yesterday I was kicked from the game by some kind of losing connection error, and twice it thought my client was still logged in and closed Maplestory as a result. I've not had this much trouble with your game until lately. So, whatever is causing the severe server incontinence, please fix it.
If it's anti-hacking measures, there are ways to go about it.
Borderlands has a feature where every item has a SHA key. That will fix your duping and hacking of Potentials and flush out hackers in those areas quickly.
Why don't you have an individual character loot rate checker that has a tested max legit value for each map? That will destroy your Vac/Screen hackers by flushing them out for GMs to look at. Most of the time they have an Auto-Logout mechanic that takes their character out of the game or off the channel immediately upon someone else loading in, which prevents the Report function.
Why don't you also have a Kill Rate function for each map that can be adjusted by your GMs with a slider so they can just hop around a GUI to maps all over Maplestory without having to manually troll each one or follow particular characters? That would flush out the folks killing entire maps with a Melee character that stands completely still.
Filters: By class (melee, ranged, magic)
By kill rate (slider for % of map per second)
By loot rate (#Items per second)
+ whatever else will help you immediately find anyone using hacking engines.
Yes, occasionally you will ping on Legit players that are just wrecking the place. That's going to happen. They are few and far between. The hackers now outnumber the legit players, which is a large part of why your game is still rapidly losing population. It's a "hack or fail" game now. Please fix it.
Fix it.
I personally haven't noticed any new instability in MapleStory (but it still has its old cc-dc) or an increase in people complaining of instability on forums.
What happens to the server? I can not enter from three hours ago. Says a window to disconnect the game: You were disconnected from the game server. Please try again later. Someone can tell me what happens? I still need to finish the key school yesterday, and I'm sure and I lost, and I still need to complete the task of absolute belt. This can not be happening... I guess you will add one more day to both events...
