Server Maintenance Changes

Greetings Maplers!



Server Maintenance will now be taking place every two weeks. We will not have one this week however we will be updating the cash shop on Wednesday October 29th, 2008 at 9am and it should take about 15 minutes. Please be aware that cash shop will be down between 9:00am ~ approx 9:15am (PDT).



Thank You

Thanks Lerk.

You know, if Nexon takes only 15 minutes to update the cash shop, I wonder what they did with the other time in the other server checks that seemingly only updated the cash shop but took at least two hours.

Booo...

Greedy store merchants will be running the show longer.

Here comes another week of glitches...

Name changes, world changes, general server maintenance (perhaps a reboot)... Note that when they added World and Name changes to the weekly server check business, that's exactly when they started to get longer than an hour.

Something seems a little bit suspicious. Why the biweekly server checks/maintenance now?

So they can take 6 hours to do them!

Maybe the Pirate Patch will bring some massive changes in the server setup and upkeep...I dont know really.

Maybe it's all part of Nexon's improvement?

Uh? A Server Maintenance every 2 weeks? D:

I wonder why..

Less hassle for 2x exp/drop rate users. =D.

Mind I tell you that this only counts for *SCHEDULED SERVERCHECKS*....

Now they're gonna take twice as long

><

Boo, server maintinance.

Server Check FTW!

Quoted for the truth.

Anywhos, I believe this is nothing we should be happy about - less server reboots = more chances of crashing, rollbacks, etc. - AND takes longer to get a name/server change.

They are probably doing this for two few reasons:
(1) No need for late-night / early-morning staff every week ($$$) [OR less of a need, for less time, with no specific time restrictions, if they're only going to do cash-shop updates weekly]
(2) Less complaints about 2x EXP lost (although this is hardly a main reason imo.. lol)

Oh well, we'll live.

They forgot to mention that now their server checks will take 8 hours instead of 4 hours.

Don't take it too far out of proportion. This is pretty close to MSEA's server check schedule, and they do just fine. It's not like we haven't gone two weeks without server checks before either. Most versions actually do only one or two server checks per month (or patch period). I think JMS is pretty much the only version left that does weekly maintenance.
