This, from the subreddit, is very helpful. Not only does it list all of the maps you need to go to, but shows where they are on the world map.

Do note that you will need to work toward the Maple Explorer medal for the V Tracker as well. You'll get a 7-day Hyper Teleport Rock from something on whatever character you're doing the V Tracker stuff on, and you can get another one from gaining the Beginner Explorer medal. I would strongly advise you to go for the Maple Explorer medal as soon as possible, because it's a tedious nuisance doing it without the rock. Without a HTR, it took me maybe two or so hours to finish. With a HTR, it took me maybe ten minutes(including the one quest you need to do in order to get the Secret Basement Path map in Nihal Desert(that's the map that connects the Alcando and Zenumist labs to one another and where Chimera spawns).

It's not all bad, if you want to talk about old versions purely for nostalgia's sake, you can go here, but please don't direct conversation toward legacy servers or services, otherwise that thread will face the same end as this and others like it.

wel we have the "whole" day 2x exp, looks like they need to learn the definition of "whole" since it doesn't last the WHOLE day, but oh well, maybe the pseudo forum moderator will come and also lock this thread due my answer

xEvilSoulx,

They are not locking the forum because of you answering. They locked it because of a useless argument. Continuing to insult a company will only get a locked thread. As the moderator suggested, you can go to the sub forum where they are less to no strict rules on content. That way you can say what you want without being locked.
I think you are personally just a little agitated about the servers. I get that.

Take a breather, go for a run, take a breather, and come back and enjoy maple once it is up.

Kinda Agree on that.. I'm playing Fire Emblem Fates atm while I wait.

I mean, I'm kinda irked that the servers are down again for whatever reason, but holy lord I'm not going to royally freak out over it. I've got laundry to put away, clean sheets to put on my bed and a whole raft of Steam games I can play.

@Banks While the rules are decidedly more lax in the section you suggested he chug on off to, there are past examples where, despite the fact that the section is called "Rants And Raves", it is beyond clear that you do not have carte blanche to insult and demean Nexon, its employees or, as was seen in one case, their families as you please. It's a place to vent without disrupting the normal goings-on of the rest of the forums, but is not an invitation to go completely ballistic.

Shade got pooped on in 5th job ;_;

But what you're saying is that, rather than a simple "it's down and we don't have an estimate to give" that forces you to check back every couple hours, you want a timer displayed somewhere that, basically, does the same thing, but without the "we don't have an estimate" part.

The thing is that for most part there usually is an estimate, they always start off by saying it should be up by xx:xx PST or whatever, complications occur and that's when the timer is updated depending on what they know. Of course they don't always, but usually they do. Or if they suddenly bring down the servers to patch a bug, that bug is for the most part known and know where to look but for those times they don't always put in an estimated time. For times such as now I'm sure somewhere down the line they've already found out the main cause or if not at least some portions of error and could update depending on that. The whole reason for the suggestion is that a timer is more descriptive than a few words saying come check later. Just like an actual picture is much more descriptive than you explaining the picture. There are times when the cause is unknown, but that's why I said a description could be attached to such clock for that reason.

I get that you want an estimate. They did do estimates, and "maintenance is extended for another [one or two hours]" updates to the maintenance newspost. But the problem is, people started whining about how they always extended their maintenance periods and were never on time(which is hyperbole in its purest form, since long run-overs were a rare thing). So now we don't get any estimates, just "it'll be up when it's done" sort of updates.

You're welcome, complainers!
