Patience is a virtue my friends, and when you've been playing Online Games for a while you learn things like this happen. That's why I can say "This is normal, and I'm ok with it" Bad things happen all the time, and it's up to us as the player base to take it in stride and not devolve into mindless swarms of hatred when it does.

Or maybe we should all just riot like the fabled "Twitch Chat" when we can't play for a day.



Also I find it cute when people call me a "Nexon Apologist" for not being a nasty to the people trying to help us.

Hi again everyone,

We are still looking into the issues we encountered earlier today (including the ones @OneLetter mentioned above). It is starting to look like we will need another minor patch to address these. Once we have the fix ready to go and testing is completed, we will bring the servers back up.

I am sorry we are unable to provide you with a timetable. We are doing our best to fix these issues before we open the game up to you all.

We shall persevere! Even if it takes all night!

Sorry, but you guys are REALLY stupid for doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

You have NO public test server (or at least invitation only) and EVERY big patch we have a plethora of game breaking bugs that could've been easily detected have you had people actually looking for them before the patch release. This is ridiculous.

There is very little patience, and absolutely no understanding. You guys pull this same thing off every time.

PLEASE tell me at least the people playtesting for bugs aren't the same that were streaming today on twitch. Freaking embarrassing.

Something to consider is the size of MapleStory. After over a decade, there is an enormous amount of content - both universal and GMS-exclusive - and accounting for every single factor becomes more and more difficult over time. While the hope is for everything to function correctly the first time, as a program issues will arise and be addressed appropriately. It's unfortunate when we must incur additional downtime to address issues, but what's important is that issues that come to light due to the dynamics of the playerbase are being addressed - not pointing blame over factors which are not always obvious from a testing standpoint.

well said, but something to consider is most of the people complaining on here are the ones who only have been here one or two years. they have no idea what they are talking about or the immense amount of content they have yet to discover. I personally have played since beta, and I would rather nexon take there time with this so the future updates wont have as many issues.

I agree. Everyone wonders why MMO's are dying so fast these days, a few examples: Blade & Soul, Echo of Soul, Riders of Icarus etc etc. They don't really take the time to think about why they last over a decade as Maplestory has. It's because Nexon fixes what's broken, WHEN its broken. They don't leave broken content available to the public while keeping on pushing out new content after new content before fixing the broken content (which is what most new MMO's do). I hope that Nexon REALLY does take their time addressing the issues they've encountered. And tbh, if you know that Nexon is going to take more time than they originally gave you and you know that its just going to be extended anyways, why are you here whining. Do you honestly have nothing better to do? There are other games out there, or I'm sure you have homework, sleep, or show/movies to catch up on. Be patient, you'll get good results. Go take a jog or something, jesus.

Can I keep playing Hearthstone while reading funny forum comments? \o/
