It's always fun coming back to this game during big patches, and seeing how the community hasn't changed one bit these past 10+ years, lmfao. 1) Nexon is understaffed. Iirc from something a long time back, it was like, something around 10 people or less in each game's team. 2) Pretty sure most of Nexon NA aren't professional coders, they most likely get everything from KR, and do some easy method of patching. 2.5) I'm also pretty sure that Nexon NA contacts Nexon KR for major issues that come up, which is why sometimes maintenance are so long. They needa go back and forth to figure out what the problem is. (don't take my word for it though, lmfao.) 3) The MS Nexon NA team are only human. I'd like to see every single one of you go into coding and try to make a huge mmo game and keep it properly running without ANY issues at all. It's not easy. I know, because I tried. Screw coding. 4) HUNDREDS of these threads have popped up the past 10+ years. You think that Nexon NA doesn't know how annoyed the player base is with them? lmfao. HA. Good one, guys. The players that have been here from the start know what I'm talking about. Complain all you want, but it just falls on deaf ears. Just let the feeling of disappointment consume you and you won't have to get angry every time this happens. 5) I get that you guys want to vent out anger, but seriously. Go do something else now. Don't even keep the maintenance page open. Close that tab, close all of the MapleStory tabs, and go do something for an hour or two. Keep yourself busy with something else and come back when you're bored of your current activity. Rinse and repeat until maint is over. inb4maintisfinished5minutesafteryoureadthis
