Dear Maplers,

As you know there were severe service interruptions on September 2 affecting all Nexon games and the Nexon website, which resulted in an extended maintenance period. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.

This was an unplanned interruption that occurred due to a catastrophic hardware failure at one of the facilities of our offsite servers. Fixing the problem required replacing and rebuilding a number of servers and unfortunately took most of the day.

As a way of making this up to our loyal players, we plan to offer a compensation for each game. More details will be posted to each game page this week.

The details for MapleStory are below.

• Cash items have been extended for the duration the game was down, as well as an additional 48 hours. This will now be correctly applied during the scheduled maintenance on September 4.
  
• The completion requirement for the Resurrection of Osiris event has been reduced from 14 to 13 days.
  
• We’ll be holding a 2x EXP & Drop event at the following times:
  • Saturday, September 6 - Sunday, September 7, 2014
    Pacific: 12 AM – 4 AM & 2 PM – 6 PM
    Eastern: 3 AM – 7 AM & 5 PM – 9 PM
    
• All accounts created before September 1, 2014 will be able to receive an Epic Potential Scroll 100\% and a Pendant of the Spirit (3-day).
  • To receive the items, click the gift box icon on the left side of the game window.
    
  • You are limited to one of each item per account.
    
  • You must have a Lv. 30 or above character to collect the Pendant of the Spirit.
    
  • You must have a Lv. 80 or above character to collect the Epic Potential Scroll 100\%.
    
  • You must log into the game between the following date and times to receive the items: <strong class="notice"/>
    • 
      
    • Pacific: 12:00 AM Saturday, September 6, 2014 – 11:59 PM Friday, September 12, 2014
      
    • Eastern: 3:00 AM Saturday, September 6, 2014 – 2:59 AM Saturday, September 13, 2014
      

Thank you for your patience while we resolved these issues.

I wonder if the Epic Potential Scrolls will have an expiration date. I can always find uses for those. Then again there's always the storage option so I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.

And ugh, more 2x. I'm still massively overstocked from the last 2x, but okay, whatever you say Nexon.

It seems that instead that the problem with the servers is not fixed after all.
