We will be performing a scheduled minor patch on Thursday, November 10, 2016. Maintenance for European MapleStory will begin at 12:00 AM Pacific (3:00 AM Eastern / 8:00 AM UTC). Maintenance for Global MapleStory will begin at 5:00 AM Pacific (8:00 AM Eastern / 1:00 PM UTC).
We anticipate the maintenance to conclude around 2:00 PM Pacific (5:00 PM Eastern / 10:00 PM UTC).
Please note that the estimated length of time for each maintenance is subject to change without notification.
Thanks for your patience!
Time:
Thursday, November 10, 2016
• European MapleStory - Pacific: 12:00 AM – 2:00 PM - Eastern: 3:00 AM – 5:00 PM - UTC: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Global MapleStory - Pacific: 5:00 AM – 2:00 PM - Eastern: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM - UTC: 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM
What will be unavailable:
• All Global MapleStory and European MapleStory game servers. • Website login and the billing system will be unavailable from: - Pacific: 5:00 AM – 8:30 AM - Eastern: 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM - UTC: 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM - During that time you will not be able to purchase NX or view previous purchases.
Changes and Updates:
• Migrate European MapleStory service to Global MapleStory. • Apply Windows updates to the game servers. • MapleStory will be updated to v.177.3.0. • The client will no longer crash when pressing the 'Tab' key through the Login Screen. • The Cat Mug Random Chair will no longer cause other players to crash or restrict them from entering the room in which the chair is used.
Minor patch means the version number isn't going up to 178 but to 177.3. The changes to the client are minor, and I believe the changes to the server software are, as well.
Most of the downtime is for backend and infrastructure stuff like databases, and hopefully for extensive testing, and that takes a lot of time.
So the day is finally upon us. I wish everyone who is working with this migration good luck and lots of coffee,tea and cookies and if it goes without any incident let's have cake afterwards!
The Cat Mug Random Chair will no longer cause other players to crash or restrict them from entering the room in which the chair is used.
Ohhh so that's why hene was broken. I'm assuming they'll just make the random modes client sided, and have one static version show to other people, like how the Experiment chair currently "works". Most chairs aren't displaying at all anyway though.
- UTC: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM That is a lot of time =( Guess i will have to wait a wopping 9 hours now.
It could be worse, be happy its "only" 9 hours it could have said 24-48 hour maintenance so IF they manage to end this maintenance on time its really good
I really do love this idea of this merge but I really cant help but feel like something great has been lost... Rest In Piece MapleStory Europe & Kradia Europe.

I hope this goes smoothly you people at NEXON. More than anything, I really do hope this brings us community to our newly named Luna Server.

I guess you meant in your last sentence that this change may bring new players to EU server. If so.. I doubt it. that wont happen unless Nexon NA will allow players from other worlds to transfer all their stuff.

Some people will probably come to Luna aswell as some of our old ems Kradia and Demethos will go join some gms server but we will see
Lately we have had so many updates. Is there anyway to start having less updates? So often i wake up and come to play and i have to wait hours. These updates happen way to much.

I don't see any reason for someone from America to open a character and main it in Luna world (EU servers). And for EU players who already play in GMS worlds such as Scania,Bera,Windia, well... those accounts are really old and too much effort been made to just leave it and start all over again in a new world.
Yea, some ppl will open and check around the new world, but they will go back their old world with their lovely main character.
That's why only a World Transfer Event will help to populate new Luna world with new(old) EU players.

Going through the Steam client in the game folder hasn't worked for over a year .-.
