u better be careful when talking about private server a mod will come in and remove the post or closing the thread cause well its in COC.It's been pretty bad since the V update, but now it's a 100% fail rate to even get through the Region Select screen.
Private servers are much, much more stable than this, a game run by a "company".
To any new players browsing the forums, skip this game, and go play on a private server for your Maple fix. Your hair and your sanity will thank me later.
