Lag still persists even after the unscheduled maintenance this week as does the frequent crashing of channels in Elysium. Botters are flocking to one channel at a time over and over again, causing each one to go down frequently.
Random crashes and constant lag have indeed been serious issues for quite a while now, making the game nearly unplayable at times for many players. Entire channels go down on a regular basis still, and not only does the game crash back to the world select screen but also the entire client will close upon dc-ing. Even an acknowledgement of the problem would go a long way because at least we would know that it's being looked into.
Brief bug summary: Even though I have played ms1 for well over a decade and ON THE SAME ACCOUNT have been playing ms2 since beta and when the game officially launched and am still playing both games, I did not receive the "quest" to accept the Tria Traveler title, etc. entitled "1st Bonus Reward for MS2 Friends" under the star icon. I am not accepting the cumulative Maple Relay rewards because I'm not sure that I will receive the MS2 only gifts because of this. Please advise, and is anyone else experiencing this issue?
