How to fix the lag! (10/28/16)
The lag is caused by the new Chat Channels. Here's how you temporarily fix it until NX releases an update:
Credit to /u/Loxiona of RedditIn command prompt with admin privileges enter:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MaplestoryFix" protocol=TCP dir=out action=block remoteip=8.31.99.133
and press enter. This should work immediately without having to restart maple or your computer. If it doesn't, make sure your firewall is turned on, that you copied the command correctly, and that you are running in an admin command prompt.
To delete the firewall entry when they get around to fixing the lag (in admin command prompt):
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name=MaplestoryFix
and press enter.
If you use a firewall other than the default Windows Firewall, block outgoing TCP traffic to remote IP address 8.31.99.133

By blocking this IP, your game won't try to connect to it and you'll have less lags.

Is there a different way for Windows XP ?
Also, does it work if I go to Firewall Windows?
And if I go to Advanced and going to network connection parameter, a place where I can enter IN and OUT port for the IP. How can I get these datas? I could try get firewall for Avast, but I must pay to get it T.T I have free edition so I can only block virus and malware.
Though something to note, at least for me, do not join a chat channel or the delay comes back.
It may be able to run the command, but I doubt it. You can also just go straight to Windows Firewall from the control panel and make a new rule that blocks all outgoing traffic to port 8.31.99.133
Whatever you do, don't pay for Avast, its practically malware with how many resources it needs at all times, and its not at all effective.
