GMS Server Status Discussion 2012-01

[Eos]

This is the official thread to discuss the current status of the servers, channels and general Nexon connectivity.

If you really only want to see the status and have no interest in participating in discussion here on Southperry you're discouraged from registering, there's no benefit to you for doing so. You will find it more effective and expedient to simply bookmark one of the following mirror URLS of the status page;

http://gmsstatus.com/
http://maplestatus.info/
http://maplestatus.com/

They update on the same schedule, load faster, use less resources and are perfect for sharing and bookmarking.


Red Blinking = All logins down, or master login down.
Red = More than 50% of the normal channels are down but logins are fine.
Yellow = Less than 50% of channels are down and logins are fine.
Green = All good.


Latency is now indicated in the report, including max and average.
Channels that are up but experiencing a higher than normal latency will be indicated in Yellow, but poor connection speed will not impact the status results indicator.

Note the contents of this thread will routinely be moved to the Archived Items (http://www.southperry.net/forumdisplay.php?f=9048) forum after various outages and discussion.

[Mazz]

Not seen this before, but trying to go to channel 1 in El Nido started off by disconnecting me, then I tried again and now it says "You cannot more to the requested channel at this time. Please try again later." In the chat box. Showing up as yellow on the status page.

[Thorr]

Wow. 10 seconds after my pendants charged and I use a fam 1.2x rep to train, my clients all go down.

All because I thought today was FRIDAY.... Duuuuuuuhhhh....

[Chameleonic]

You should check the site more often :f3:, oh and they usually have a SC at this time every week now.

[Thorr]

I am well versed in Nexon procedure. I did read the site. I just thought it happened YESTERDAY... because as I said, I thought today was Friday...

[Chameleonic]

Nexon are still negligent and incompetent in that they dont warn its players in game that a SC is about to happen.

[RedRaven16]

They do in Mabi

[Eos]

They do in Mabi

No one ever believes me when I try to explain how much more competently mabi gets run and communicated. Even through fiascos like G15 we got fairly good communication, and unbelievable communication compared to what Maplers got.

[Viaje]

No one ever believes me when I try to explain how much more competently mabi gets run and communicated. Even through fiascos like G15 we got fairly good communication, and unbelievable communication compared to what Maplers got.
I don't play Mabinogi, but, after playing Dragon's Nest and seeing how much better its overseers are at communicating and generally running the game, I decided to blame the Maple Team for everything wrong that happens with Nexon.

For that reason, I'm pretty sure the company-wide server outage was a Maple GM's fault.

[Eos]

"Cross functional training" did it.

[Flonne]

Servers are...up? 2 hours early? I just logged in and everything, it's like a goddamn miracle! In before USC, I suppose.

[Aggravate]

The damn servers are laggy again. I can't even log in.

[Kalemora]

Here we go again.

[PeePeeAyeDeeKay]

Here we go again :f2:

[Panacea]

I need to mine ores still... and sell NX...

Just when I was about log on. Blah.

[byakugan]

OMG. server crash? in GMS? this never happens !!

[ShinkuDragon]

OMG. server crash? in GMS? this never happens !!

this looks more like "everything" crash ._.

[XTOTHEL]

I'm not sure what the parameters are for the icon to turn yellow...but should this be yellow?

http://www.xosfere.com/misc/notyellow.png

[Chameleonic]

Any other Nexon games down as well?

[Mibs]

Every dot is yellow or red now. I hear Mabi is down too, I wonder if all game servers will go down again?

[ScottyxD]

I'm not sure what the parameters are for the icon to turn yellow...but should this be yellow?
Parameters are listed in the first post..

[Green4Ever]

I had just set my shop up too... :f4:

[Dark Link]

Bleh, I was gonna get on for some bossing, but I guess I'll go shower and get back on LoL if it hasn't settled down by then.

[Liteness]

nexon had a 11/11/11 11:11 PM EST melt down :f3:

[FoolsLove]

Atlantica just went down. Damnit, just before an FL session..

Seems it is a company wide shutdown.

[WubYou4ever]

I had just set my shop up too... :f4:

Same, I just hope our stuff wont get deleted this time..

[XTOTHEL]

Parameters are listed in the first post..

Well, it is listed as:


Yellow = Less than 50% of channels are down and logins are fine.
But logins are were not fine in that capture...unless fine = yellow?

[Green4Ever]

Same, I just hope our stuff wont get deleted this time..

I meant a regular permit lol, not a mushie.

[Dark Zero]

Maple crashed... and there maybe will be an emergency SC

[Mibs]

Can't get to the Dragon Nest website. Going to assume launcher won't work either then =/

[kimicatdemon]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1395149/itsfriday.gif

Oh boy, I hope it gets fixed though. I don't have that much homework this weekend and a day off to actually play from work. ]:

[TonyEatCake]

Hope we get 5k MP or 2X :glitter:

Server is greenish again

my bad.... Nexon crashes are epic....

[Dark Link]

Now the servers are just being super uber laggy :(

EDIT: Nevermind, round 2 incoming!

[XTOTHEL]

Yea...logged on CCed around and got kicked off

[WubYou4ever]

I meant a regular permit lol, not a mushie.

WOW mush are still up LOl, i guess thats good ;o

[Green4Ever]

WOW mush are still up LOl, i guess thats good ;o

Yeah they normally don't close when this happens. They didn't last time it was happening throughout the week either.

[Turtally]

More MaplePoints, yay.

[ShinkuDragon]

is... is everything over?

[TonyEatCake]

May God have mercy on Nexon's cardboard server

[Chilly]

A second round incoming...right as I was Escaping. Sorry prisoners, may Ani treat you gently.

[Dark Link]

A second round incoming...right as I was Escaping. Sorry prisoners, may Ani treat you gently.

This is actually the 3rd round. 2nd round happened a couple min after the servers went back to normal.

[modular]

:( i was just whispering someone to see if the bloody shoe theyd just gacha'd is for sale

fu nexon fix the damn servers

[Locked]

Nice to see how much work nexon is doing.

[Eos]

Joy. Found another scenario the emergency script didn't support and added in recovery steps for it.

Eventually we'll run out of things that can go wrong

[Mazz]

Hmm, what time zone is the GMS server status based on? PST? currently displaying everything as green (with like one yellow channel in Yellonde), but I'm getting an unable to connect to MS servers error when trying to open the game. Also, did sp.net just come back up from some downtime?

[SaptaZapta]

Eventually we'll run out of things that can go wrong

Who are you and what have you done with Eos :f3:?

[MissingLink]

Strange, status is pure green and my internet seems normal, but I get nothing but 'We are unable to connect to the logion server..' messages.

[Foxino]

Strange, status is pure green and my internet seems normal, but I get nothing but 'We are unable to connect to the logion server..' messages.

this. I haven't been able to get on for like 4hrs site and game.
Also yay SP back ;D

[Eos]

Strange, status is pure green and my internet seems normal, but I get nothing but 'We are unable to connect to the logion server..' messages.

I get right in. Sitting in Mardia's FM now.

[Mazz]

I get right in. Sitting in Mardia's FM now.

o.o that's weird, I'm getting server check messages too. Did you use the website or gamelauncher? If it makes any difference.

I'm unable to get on the website too, just checked. 'Oops! Google Chrome could not find this webpage.'

[happylight]

Still down for me at least.

[Eos]

I only use the game launcher. You might want to try an ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew to verify your connection isn't wonky.
Could also be something in the path between your ISP and the destination, but for all I can see and tell they're up and running on all games.

[MissingLink]

I get right in. Sitting in Mardia's FM now.

Hmmm.. most of the ones complaining are outside of U.S. DOn't know about Happylight.
New IP block?

Can't even load www.nexon.net

[SaptaZapta]

No problem here either, and I'm in Israel. Been logging on and off for the past few hours, last time just 10 minutes ago.

[CarrionCrow]

Can't get on either.

[iAmFear]

Couldn't get on either, but after turning on Hotspot Shield, I can load both the website and the game. Hmm =[

[Mazz]

Tried /ipconfig release and renew, rebooted and still can't get on. Can't load nexon.net or maplestory.nexon.net either...

[Foxino]

Just tried both that and rebooting router. Still cant get on site/game. and it isn't my internet since I been playing XBL an hour or so problem free. :f6:

[CarrionCrow]

Couldn't get on either, but after turning on Hotspot Shield, I can load both the website and the game. Hmm =[
How do you accidentaly block off almost everything? Even countries within the service area... :f6:

[happylight]

Wouldn't be the first time Nexon blocked off a huge chunk of the world. NYC here.

[Mazz]

I made a poll on Basil (lolol) and it seems like it isn't a location issue, since a lot of people playing in supported areas are unable to log in as well. I'm still unable to connect, and unable to use the website as well.. bleh. Probably won't be playing this weekend then.

[MissingLink]

I installed Hotspot Shield. Now I can access the website, but i still cannot log in. I get 'The connection has timed out' message when I try.
If I try using gamelauncher, I now can now get to the login screen, but just get the 'Trouble logging in?... try the website' message.

Edit:
Oh Oh
If I type in a garbage password, it tells me 'incorrect password', so it actually is accessing the login server, and knows who I am.
Starting to smell like an IP ban.

[Mazz]

http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2255697/3 for the Basil thread if anyone is interested, I think it's a problem with the way Nexon handles different connections to ISPs, as there are two people in Australia with different ISPs, one is able to connect and the other is not.

Anyone unable to connect in the UK on Virgin Media? Or anyone ABLE to connect, I suppose?

[Foxino]

Anyone unable to connect in the UK on Virgin Media? Or anyone ABLE to connect, I suppose?

I'm on virgin media. same boat as you no site/ no game.

[Mazz]

I'm on virgin media. same boat as you no site/ no game.

Ah, so at least we've figured out the cause, or at least have started to. Wonder if there's anyone in the UK on a different ISP that could try it. I hope they'll figure it out and fix it soon.. said the optimist.

[Manda]

Anyone unable to connect in the UK on Virgin Media? Or anyone ABLE to connect, I suppose?

Also on Virgin Media and no luck connecting to the site or the game. :f4:

Edit: One of my friends (also in the UK) on a different ISP is currently online and he's had no problems at all.

[Mazz]

Also on Virgin Media and no luck connecting to the site or the game. :f4:

:( That makes three from SP. Gah. Is there anyone that could post something on the Nexon forums about this? I would, but as a result of not being able to access their website at all I can't. I've got a friend from New York, she's having the same trouble as us too.

[Coogi]

I've been freezing like usual. -_-

[iananderson]

I live in Arizona and use Cox Cable and can't access the website or run through Gamelauncher.

[Eos]

Louisiana, Comcast Business Class, and I can connect fine.

[Mazz]

Got a friend from the UK on BT internet and she can connect fine. Virgin Media seems to be unable to connect though.

Edit: NY friend has Optimum Online and can't connect. Anyone else on this ISP?

[SaptaZapta]

Israel.

Netvision and Internet Zahav, both can connect fine.

[happylight]

Got a friend from the UK on BT internet and she can connect fine. Virgin Media seems to be unable to connect though.

Edit: NY friend has Optimum Online and can't connect. Anyone else on this ISP?

Yup I'm in NYC on Optimum. Can't connect here.

[Link]

I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I use Cox Cable and I cannot connect to the game or the website.


Oh, boy, Nexon.

[Eos]

I should also add that Southperry's host is using Level3, and is located in the Toronto area somewhere, and able to connect (hence us being green).

[Mazz]

Definitely an ISP issue then. Brilliant.

[Coogi]

Time Warner Cable , NC USA. Connects fine.

[Eos]

Definitely an ISP issue then. Brilliant.

But is it actually with the ISPs, with a common gateway the ISPs are using to get to Nexon's servers, or something Nexon's done?

So many points of failure.

[MissingLink]

I tried connecting via dialup (without hotspot shield enabled) on a different computer, and this uses a completely differend IP address, but still could not connect to website or game.

[Kalemora]

I live in Arizona and use Cox Cable and can't access the website or run through Gamelauncher.
Same here.

[SaptaZapta]

Might be interesting to compare traceroutes.
Guessing all the failing ISPs are using the same hub which has somehow failed to notice some change in Nexon's routing.

[Mazz]

Unfortunately I don't know nearly enough about ISPs or the internet to properly determine how and why people are blocked (but if anyone else can, go ahead!), but that's the conclusion I've come to - in general, it seems there is 'an issue' with certain ISPs. What that actually consists of I have no idea.

[ShinkuDragon]

Time Warner Cable , NC USA. Connects fine.

a bit late to the party, but same here, finally the piece of crap that is TWC is useful for something.

[Foxino]

inb4 Nexon fixes all but ISPs located outside their service area.. i.e me :f3:

I'm still trying to think how this 'error' has come to be. Did they purposely try and block something and nexon it up or did some ISPs gang together and say nexon is so much of a nexon that we wont let our customers go near?

One does wonder.

fyi, i replaced the word fail with nexon since they both have the same definition currently. :f2:

[XTOTHEL]

Up 'ere in good'ol Canuhduh, things are aboot fine.

ISPs conspiring to block Nexon is a bit farfetched.

Wild guess:
Nexon changed something about their network, maybe finally replaced that faulty box that was periodically cutting their entire network off... or added another in parallel to it. This change hasn't fully propagated to whatever gateways/hubs need to know it, so some route exclusively to the old box (which is broken atm) and others go to the new one (which works well). The ISPs that can't connect are the ones using the first type.
One big flaw in this theory: Why would Nexon do this on a Friday night?

You might want to give your ISP support a call, tell them you can't connect to www.nexon.net while your friends on other ISPs can, and have them do what they can on their end (force reroute or w/e). It being a weekend though, most ISPs probably don't have anyone answering the phones who knows anything beyond "reset your modem and restart your computer".

[Ketchup]

This is one of the biggest FU's from nexon I've ever experienced.
They give their users a problem that they can't even request support for.
Nice nexon! +1

[Takebacker]

OH MY GOD. They changed the box and now i can play MS in my college dorms again. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Thanks Nexon. Screw the rest of you guys.

[Aggravate]

I can't access the site, or the game. Epic fail, Bell Canada.

[keturah]

I called Cox Communications, (In Arizona) they cannot access nexon.net either from their end. Would all you who CAN get to nexons site please post on the forum and log tickets for us, since we are totally blocked out we have no way of even letting nexon know they've screwed us :D Thanks !

[SaptaZapta]

Obviously Cox can't, it's not like they have their own privileged internet connection they don't let the clients use. Call again and insist that nexon.net is up and accessible from other ISP's, and they have to check their routing tables or w/e. (Betting the person on the phone will tell you to call Monday to talk to someone more knowledgeable, tho)

[Hollie]

I'm from the UK and my ISP is Virgin Media and I can't log in.

Edit: I can play maple using my neighbours BT connection. :)

[Eos]

To 'prove it's up' for everyone else you can always have your ISP look at the results of:

What would ones ISP do about it? The issue is way to widespread across the globe to be a fault on their end, right?

[PyroKing]

I can't connect to the website or the game either. When using a webproxy I CAN view the website. When running a tracert things seem to go wrong here:
16 177 ms 177 ms 178 ms NexonNXGames.demarc.cogentco.com [38.104.76.142]
17 * * * Time-out bij opdracht.

Googling that domain shows me there have been issues like this before. What's causing it though is a riddle to me. Hope they fix it soon.

[SaptaZapta]

Checked Nexon forums, the problem has been posted there (apparently some people managed to get on via proxy).
Amusing to see people think they've been personally targeted and IP-banned.

Alas, no one from Nexon will even look at the forums until Monday, and the same with tickets.

[Eos]

What would ones ISP do about it? The issue is way to widespread across the globe to be a fault on their end, right?

They're in a better position to determine if it's a partner they're peering with who is down, a gateway in their routing that needs to be avoided, or an actual issue on Nexon's side.

[PyroKing]

They're in a better position to determine if it's a partner they're peering with who is down, a gateway in their routing that needs to be avoided, or an actual issue on Nexon's side.NexonNXGames.demarc.cogentco.com is under control of Nexon, so the issue is on their side. Probably some problems with a routing configuration or something. Apparently they treat connections differently based on your ISP :s. Ip adress seems to be resolved just fine, so it's no DNS issue.

Forgot to mention: I'm from the Netherlands, ISP Tele2. Friends with ISP Ziggo can play fine.

[Eos]

Your point is only as valid as the assumption that that is in fact where the issue is.

Interesting. I don't see any address like that in my tracert at all (and I connect just fine).
I get a whole bunch of ...LosAngeles1.Level3.net hosts, and then this
NEXON-AMERI.car1.LosAngeles1.Level3.net (4.59.56.186)

(a lot of hops after that, but none of them return tracert info)

[Bomber]

Well....i downloaded Hotspot to try.
It let me go on the gamelauncher. So i put in my information and i get the "trouble logging in?" pop up.
I go on the site and itsays my account has been deactivated. It refuses to let me change my profile information and it doesnt give me the verification code to reactivate my account. I tried every email i could w/ no success.
So i uninstalled hotspot and i cannot get to the login screen or the site now.
Why is my account deactivated? =__=

[Eos]

Interesting. I don't see any address like that in my tracert at all (and I connect just fine).

Right, this is why I suspect an ISP might be able to reroute to an alternate path and successfully connect. So far no one who can connect sees that node.

[Stereo]

(a lot of hops after that, but none of them return tracert info)Interestingly I can't get to that one either, even though I never see the cogentco node.

What do you get after that line?

[MissingLink]

Well....i downloaded Hotspot to try.
It let me go on the gamelauncher. So i put in my information and i get the "trouble logging in?" pop up.
I go on the site and itsays my account has been deactivated. It refuses to let me change my profile information and it doesnt give me the verification code to reactivate my account. I tried every email i could w/ no success.
So i uninstalled hotspot and i cannot get to the login screen or the site now.
Why is my account deactivated? =__=

I read somewhere that using hotspot causes your account to be deactivated, since if you use hotspot then you're obviously a hacker. Naturally I read that after I tried using it. I've never been deactivated before so I don't know what is involved in getting reactivated. Hopefully not that horrible email to billing business.

Locked out as well, my ISP is TELUS. I contacted tech support and they were not much help. Apparently they seem to be able to access nexon.net from their office but had no idea why I could not from my home. I did all the usual fixits that have been mentioned here with no good results.
A thought: I was in Golden Temple when I got dc'd Friday night. I have a guildee who was blocked from her account for two days last week after dc'ing from Escape pq.

[JPTheMonkey]

I'm blocked out as well, living in Louisiana with Cox as my ISP. Nexon seems to be having lots of regional problems with some games lately, such as on DFO I got switched to being a western US player after a major update at the same time as the Chaos patches started and a few weeks ago, I was moved back to being an eastern player. Also a few weeks ago, I was blocked from DFO for being out of region, but that was fixed by using the top-right play button which can't be accessed if we can't even access the website...

Howdy - I also have Telus as an ISP.
Unfortunately their 'help' desk is in Philippines.
So Im guessing that when they told you they could access the site, it was from there & not Canada.
Just a guess but could be very likely.
Anyways, (no offense to ppl in Philippines), but EVERY
time I call Telus for ANYTHING, I immediately ask them where the call was routed to. Then I politely ask them to connect me to someone in Canada.
ofc they will tell you "we can help you just as well",
but from personal experience Ive found that when dealing with any sort of call center, the closer you can be to the person on the other end of the phone,
the better results you get. I theory is they care more when its someone from their own part of the world, than some random person 13 time zones removed.
When / If you are able to get ahold of someone (actually skilled) - ask them to do a tracert also.
Assume that the 1st person you speak to is just a phone answer'r & ask to be connected to someone in their 'technical / internet' dept. If they still insist that they are able to get to the site & claim to be 'tech-savvy', then come back with: "How many hops did you get on your Trace Route?" If they stumble on that, then ask again to be connected to someone who can answer that question lol.
Fortunately for myself, I only recently aquired Telus for my ISP, but I still have Shaw connected also.
Ive been able to play (until about 5 mins ago) when the ever so dependable Nexon servers flatlined.
PS> Apologies for Wall'oText = ^0

[Bomber]

Got this on the official basil thread

Generally if it's such a large scale issue with specific ISP's it's most likely not an IP issue.
In this case, as it includes the website which is not generally something Nexon blocks like that it's indeed looking like a node issue.

It's rare to happen, but nodes between various servers can fail, and when they do users end up not being able to connect to specific servers that normally follow such paths. Proxies tend to take different pathways, and would be why it works. Usually these tend to target specific ISP's only and resolve in a day or so.

To say a lot of people can't get online, there are quite a lot of people online still. The majority of my guild that play at this time are online.

[keturah]

Since there are several ISPs worldwide affected by this and Cox communications is one....which is a major US provider, while your little guild might not see the effect, believe me those of us who cant even access nexons website DO, so maybe I should just say "if you cant say anything helpful, dont bother to post"

As soon as I noticed the problem I passed the information along.


The guy might be an annoying brown-nose, but Nexon trust him with some contact info. Nice to know there's at least one player that can alert them to problems on the weekend.

Honestly, if you have a decent understanding of PCs, you should not be using an antivirus. Those are literally just for people like my grandparents who don't know the difference between a legitimate software update popup and one that is a virus. Something with script blocking and anti-XSS built in to your browser like NoScript is really all you need, and even then that's just there as a cushion to make your life a little bit easier. And Peerblock if you want a placebo effect, I guess.

I haven't used anything at all, ever, and the last time I got a virus was 7 years ago, and that was me getting tricked into DDLing and installing a script on D2, so it was entirely my fault. Everyone needs an experience like that anyway, so they know that if you do something stupid, there will be actual negative consequences. Better to do it young while you don't have a ton of money linked to your computer.

[Alilatias]

Are the website login servers having issues for everyone now? No matter where I go, I get 502 Bad Gateway when I try to log in anywhere on the Nexon sites. Had to use GameLauncher, which is a pretty big hassle when I'm using like 5 characters to farm well waters for my Cannoneer.

Thanks for trying to help but I wish it were that simple. Been there, done that. I also cannot access the maplestory.nexon.net site although I seem to be able to connect to every other site I have tried. I can go to:
http://nexon.net/
but not
http://maplestory.nexon.net/ where I get this message:

The connection has timed out
The server at maplestory.nexon.net is taking too long to respond.

I was consistently lagged out and dc'd during the "event" today, then when I tried to log back in this nonsense started. No changes were made to firewalls/anti-virus etc. It appears to be just like the problems on Nov 12th. I was hoping I was not the only one with this issue - again.

EDIT: Hmm, I am thinking that TELUS users need to start tracking this together.

Seems the "normal amount of time" is now 0.09 instead of 0.07.
About 30% slower for our host (in Canada, was it?), but I doubt you, in Britain, could feel the difference.

[Eos]

That logic seems backwards - The higher the latency the more visible it should be the further away you are, not the closer.

[Foxino]

That logic seems backwards - The higher the latency the more visible it should be the further away you are, not the closer.

I think he means since im further away i already have latency so I wont notice the change? iuno either lol.

[SaptaZapta]

That logic seems backwards - The higher the latency the more visible it should be the further away you are, not the closer.

That depends on whether the difference is fixed or relative.
If they changed hardware or otherwise caused a fixed additional 0.02 sec to everyone's ping, then it would be much more noticeable to those who were at 0.07 (and changed to 0.09) then to those who were already at 0.15 (and changed to 0.17).

It's true that if they added 30% to everyone's latency, those who were already slow would suffer much worse, but I doubt Nexon's changing their equipment or routing could have that wide an effect.

[moore4me]

I know it was predicted but once again NEXON SERVER MAINTENANCE has made things worse, how many weeks will it take for them to fix thier "fix".

Note for those who've asked; .09 will not be considered the "new normal" unless it remains the lowest average for over a week. Has to actually become the mode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics)) before being the accepted target.

[Flonne]

.09 will not be considered the "new normal" unless it remains the lowest average for over a week.
So really it's just visible proof that they downgraded the servers and increased the overall latency, if it reaches the point where it is considered "green"?

[Eos]

So really it's just visible proof that they downgraded the servers and increased the overall latency, if it reaches the point where it is considered "green"?

No, it's visible proof that latency between Southperry and the various MapleStory servers has increased by .02 seconds.

It'd be virtually impossible to assign blame. It could be the path got one node longer. Or twenty nodes longer. How things route on the internet is mostly out of the control of any single company. Unless their specific hardware is explicitly delaying data transmission for some obscure reason the timing is outside their control. It could be something as simple as Southperry's host having applied new firewall rules or an ISP between Southperry and Nexon doing stateful packet inspection before they relay requests.

[Flonne]

No, it's visible proof that latency between Southperry and the various MapleStory servers has increased by .02 seconds.
Sorry, I did not think that through. It's not really a defense, but, I haven't slept in 40-50 hours so I'm sort of starting to hallucinate. I should probably sleep. But I can't until a friend drops off his old graphics card at my house today at 4, or else I will sleep through it. Dammit.

Stateful packet inspection...shouldn't they have already been doing that for years, at least for the game servers? I mean, I know, "nexon", but wouldn't that be like the first thing they try in order to stop packet editing? Before going through the long and arduous process of repeatedly trying to make their game less client side, and failing miserably every time? I realize their servers would be under a ton more stress because of it, but at this point (more like, around the time cubes were released...) they should have been able to afford some servers that move quickly enough to process all of that extra data.

I guess it's possible that they are JUST NOW adding it, but have there been any reports of hacks no longer working since the patch last week? I don't keep track of that kind of thing, though I probably should. I know people are still BEING hacked, but that would be using a different "door" I'd assume.

[Eos]

I wasn't referring to Nexon doing it. Frankly Nexon is very unlikely to be doing packet inspection for the simple fact their games should be handling received packets, not an additional layer.

Run a traceroute to any destination.

Every hop on that list could be inspecting the traffic that passes through it, whether it's intended to 'end' there or not.
SPI is very resource intensive so it's not something likely to be "on" every node you pass through, but if you follow a consistent path for months and one node in that path suddenly starts inspecting packets it can increase the latency in a manner consistent to the sudden tiny increase we've seen.

[Flonne]

I just prefer Latale's network setup to Maplestory's. LT is almost entirely serversided, and is generally a very laggy game for people outside of California (noticeable amounts of lag for me, up to 2 seconds), but I GREATLY prefer a bit of lag to hackers. As of 2 years ago when I played, there was only ONE successful attempt to packet edit in the game recorded on video and ZERO people stating they had seen someone using hacks ingame besides that person, by anyone from any version or server, and that one single person was banned in 20 minutes; the server went down for an E-SC, and came back up with the hole patched. jLT was where that video was recorded, and it's a decent sized MMO over there.

I'll take a few lag deaths for support like that any day of the week. Hell, I would even pay a monthly subscription to MS, if it had that.

[Eos]

Yeah we've beat to the death the fact any MMO needs to be handled server side, not client side.

[Daakun]

And therein lies the reason behind all the new servers we don't need or want.
Since most stuff is handled client side, they can use cheapo servers with no significant upkeep costs.

[Eos]

That was never news, and isn't what they're doing anyway.
Most of those "new" servers were just Mardia and Kradia's higher channels being reused at a higher ports per box ratio than the legacy servers as a beta test.

As of this latest restacking they've now got all 279 active channels running on 48 distinct IP addresses. Prior to 9/21 it was on 98.

[Reddish]

Seems like the servers just crashed again... Isn't it great how this always happens when Nexon makes maintenances that supposedly makes servers become "better"? :f6:

[Kojo]

Another server crash. Go MapleStory!

[Ninjaman43]

Southperry so laggy now @___@

[Eos]

Southperry so laggy now @___@

happens when the server gets hit by 900+ users in one shot without warning.

Ugh, if this is what we have to look forward to during the next few weeks, then we may as well forget about Hot-Time.

[Eliseo]

Ugh, if this is what we have to look forward to during the next few weeks, then we may as well forget about Hot-Time.

This actually worries me. The Hot Time event is the only way to get one of the 2 character slots. If someone somehow screws up......

[Ninjaman43]

basilmarket is down now >_>

[Secun]

Hm, is Tespia down as well? A friend of mine hasn't been able to get on.

[Reddish]

Looks like the game's back up now.

[Dark Zero]

Looks like the game's back up to fail now.
Fixxed... right now I am only seeing yellow dots like the :pineapple:

[Kojo]

Damn, I was going to get something from the MTS, but I'm not really sure if I should now because of all this server crap and general MTS glitchiness I keep reading about.

[Coogi]

Hm, patch might be done on-time...there all yellow except the main 3.

[Worthyness]

aww poopy all yellow again :(

[Dark Link]

aww poopy all yellow again :(

SC Time...

Don't worry, El Nido booted my ass off like the fury of a thousands suns.

[MapleCookie]

The game won't let me nor my boyfriend connect to the login server; is anybody else having this issue?

Edit: Never mind, working now. It was down for a couple minutes but it came back up. :monocle:

[SaptaZapta]

Hm.
Minimum/normal latency back down to 0.07. That's nice, I suppose.
However... all servers still red, 10 minutes before scheduled maintenance end. Extension incoming?

[Mazz]

Game crashed, anyone else? Fixing log-in issues!?

[Jerry-Boyle]

There's login issues? I got on fine O.o

[AptChilltime]

Ah. That's why a friend was saying people who xfer'd those EE hacked weapons were super lucky :f3:

I think it only happened to the items that were equipped.

OT: The same log in issues happened last server check and apparently in tespia. I was unable to log in my main character after the last server check for a little while(not sure on time because sc ended at 4 am est and I fell asleep, when I woke up I was able to log into my main.) When I was finally able to log into my main character I had noticed that I was missing some familiars that I had recently gotten and that my quests that I had done the previous day had been rolled back. Its odd because not all my quests that I had completed were rolled back. The legendary event (gagas quest string) was rolled back and I had also completed ToT quests the day before the server check.For some reason only 1 of my ToT quests had been rolled back (I think it was RoO2). I noticed that my ToT quests had been rolled back because I couldnt go any further than that map. I completed that ToT quest again and then was able to access all the ToT maps without doing any other RoO quests again.

Wait? People got world transfered during the SC today?


I didn't go anywhere =(

[Furahi]

Some items that were world transferred lost their enhancement count as well as potentials (not all of them). These items were MTSable. I didn't take a screenshot but someone else did and posted on Basil. Almost certain the server is down to address this screw-up.

Curious to see how Nexon's going to address the situation but regardless, I'm sure a few items will somehow slip through their "solution" and we'll be seeing much higher attack Cravens and Stonetooths.

I want to see what happens. I'm guessing just a roll back?

[Justin]

They should just delete any weapons with over 300 weapon attack, get it over with. It's not a real solution, but maybe it'll piss off a ton of hackers at the least.

What about a 200 attack craven?
A 296 attack weapon?
They're exempt?
Deleting the weapon and/or hellbanning anyone with a weapon over the 255 (?) limit is a viable solution.
Punishes the hackers and the people who buy off hackers.
Also, all 27att VSS with a certain nametag.

Like I said, my suggestion is in no way, shape or form a solution, I don't honestly know how crazy high of attack weapons can get these days. Is 300+ actually possible normally? Maybe now that we can use wards up until 12 stars...

I would have a 294 staff if I laid down 12 enhances on mine; but it's lock so I couldn't. This is probably the closest a legit weapon could get

Unless your staff is perfectly 20%ed, you could go higher.

Nametag? Why nametag? Delete all 27+ attack vss.
If anyone claims to have made a legitimate one, they are welcome to submit a ticket with video proof.

Also, deleting all 301+ cravens, 596+ stonetooths, and 301+ nisrocks, would get rid of 99% of the ee-hacked weapons in the game. Let's start with that. If hackers then start duping a 200 att craven, get rid of those.
It's of course possible, for each weapon type, to calculate the highest possible legitimate attack. But I doubt Nexon would bother.

I scrolled my own VSS and I do not have a video of it.

I can tell they're mine though because the stats on it are different.

7 att/Matt each

Hmm.. so 312mattk. That's a lot O.o

[Foxino]

300attack is impossible to my knowledge that would clear out the cravens, nisrocks and STs, I don't even think theres any heavily EE hacked mage equips. Someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm sure a estaff 5+ is the only equip in the game that could pass the 300 mark.

Also just because they was scrolled legitly doesn't mean the materials was supplied legitly. If nexon is gonna delete the 27att vss. They should just delete them all. the 10% shoe atts should be impossible to obtain in such mass.

[Furahi]

Nametag? Why nametag? Delete all 27+ attack vss.

Would you really trust that to Nexon's ticket system? What if it was already scrolled and they never took a video? Pretty sure if you scrolled one yourself only to have it deleted because you never recorded a video, you'd be pretty pissed. Jumping the gun like that would only lead to massive complications such as when Nexon deleted all UAs without 120 KoCs on their accounts.

If elemental staffs were EE enhanced, they would have 700+mattk with around 49 enhances I believe.

312 is the highest an estaff could go with 12 enhances and 20% scrolls from my understanding.

This applies to you so much too more than likely or anyone else who has played the game in the last year.

Staves level 140+ could pass the 300 mark. (Dragontail War Staff 163 MA (Average) + 70 MA from 20% 1H MATT + 12 EE = 301 MA)

By that logic, virtually every item in the game should be deleted. If Nexon was going to do that in the first place, why not simply fix the fundamental problems with the game and actually test problems out before implementing them in GMS? We've seen the glitched potential in Tespia applied to GMS as well and look how long it took to fix that "bug". The problem lies in Nexon. It's their game. They should be expected to manage it better like addressing the problem as soon as it's obvious (like they should have with the ee hack) and catch any and all exploit loopholes before implementing the features (like they should have for the numerous coin and token exploits).

So an hour and a half goes by and nothing.

Heh. Just sayin. 27atks shouldn't exist. Even If you scrolled them yourself doesn't make them any different from duped ones.

Even through id loose out. I wouldn't mind if they did.
the whole duping bs got outa hand it was much nicer when people actually worked for their stuff. lol.

.

Oh , corrected. But I'm almost certain passing 300ATT is impossible legitly?

[Furahi]

Edit: Misinterpreted post. My bad. 300+ ATT is indeed not possible legitimately. The closest would be 264 ATT (142 base spear + 70 ATT from 20% 2H WATK + 12 Stars)

[Foxino]

You can now ward up to 12 stars legitimately so that is a legitimate weapon.

I said attack. Not magic attack.

[Locked]

Heh. Just sayin. 27atks shouldn't exist. Even If you scrolled them yourself doesn't make them any different from duped ones.

Of course it does.
It has different stats than the duped ones. Meaning they're completely f`ucking different than every other shoe that people wear.

Oh, the legend patch couldn't have possible change or removed the cap, right? And, 12 enhances in 2 days makes it illegit? Could just have enough NX for that.

The EE hack (actually a no-boom hack) is no longer used because the methods of doing it are patched or locked up. To my knowledge the 255 cap was removed during the Legend patch. That weapon is a legitimate one. If you don't believe it, I'll fraps myself scrolling my sword when I bring it to Scania.
