The only notice they gave was at 9:29 EST on their Discord:
"Heyo everyone. The game will be coming down for an unscheduled maintenance. We will update with more information as it becomes available. @everyone"
Obviously it was to deal with the fact that Burning characters became completely broken and uncontrollable with no level caps after the daily reset happened
Makes me wonder how the game blew up this spectacularly. Did their servers go haywire or something. I was just working on my 5th job advancement. I really hope we don't get rolled back cause that would suck. Put in a lot of effort after daily reset
Double experience was given just 1 day this weekend(normally it is two). Yet we lost 3 Hours of 2x. What is worst is that the maintenance happened DURING the 2x event rather than 30 minutes before it. I lost my 2x EXP Cash shop coupon, 2x DROP coupon(both from Marvel) , MVP Atmonspheric exp buff, EXP pot, Monster Park EXP pot, and a 2x EXP coupon (1hr). Why would the maintenance start during the 2x event instead of before it?

Well I'm sure the surge on population from people returning to try the new events and new classes hasn't helped any. I myself just came back to Maplestory after poofing for a year or two to give it another go.
All y'all complaining this maint happening pre x2 like why... Its better to have it now, than after the x2 event where people can abuse it to level beyond 150 with their wrongfully burned characters. The steps to try remedy that would be way worse than missing your precious x2 event. Yes rip your exp buffs you used and purchased but they will probably take care of those and return nx spent or compensate with x2 coupons as a gift. The damage could have been way worse.
I personally have no issues with the maintenance. This was a major issue that needed to be solved ASAP. There was a warning on the Discord telling people affected by the burning glitch to stop playing their character to prevent any misunderstandings of possible bug abuse in addition to submitting a ticket. I fear another ban wave is going to come with a lot of unhappy people swept up in it due to this.

Something always seems to go wrong in December...
Same here. Spent a couple hours farming.
Could've been done before 2x event though.
Monster park pots? Are those the potions that give you more exp gain I keep hearing about? o:
Yes monsterpark gold pots
Anyways, what is this? the 4th-5th maintenance in one week or so? Oh well, might as well find something else to do in the meantime.
Like they say a maint a day keeps the players away
