MapleStory Regains Stability

http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART...ntNo=005vD

Dear Maplers,



These last two weeks have been a bumpy road for MapleStory. Unscheduled maintenances, latency and connection issues--you name it, we had it. To quickly remedy the problems you’ve been experiencing, we have worked around the clock with our hardware vendors to address the server issues and we’re pleased to announce the recent instability of our servers have been resolved with the December 19th’s maintenance.



We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support. To celebrate and to thank you, our GMs will be randomly giving out a variety of GM buffs that last approximately 30 minutes for the next two weeks. We will also be giving away one Maplemas Potion to all of our players. Maplemas Potions allow you to transform other players into various monsters. Be careful being idle in town because you may be transformed by your fellow players! Be sure to log in between December 23rd and December 31st to collect your gift.

Please enjoy this token of our appreciation and most importantly, thank you for playing.

Please enjoy this token of our suckage and believe us when we say this 12th time that it's all better now.

WHOA A MAPLEMAS POTION?

NO F'UCKING WAY.

CAUSE GETTING 100 SNOWPIECES IS SOOOO HARD.

-sigh- Nexon...

At least I could use the 30 mins HS, if they do give that. AND THIS MEANS GMS ACTUALLY DO SOME WORK.
@ randomly though

Player1: Hey, waiting for GM buff too?
Player2: Yeah! You too right?
Player1: I wonder when one would come, they said randomly...
Player2: Oh well, they messed up hard, it makes sense that they should compensate adequately, doesn't it?
Player1: I hope so.
...
GM: Come my dear children, come to... ORBIS! For the free buff of today.

10*

What they really should've said is:

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support by asking you to bend over while we sodomize you with horny mushrooms, but instead we're going to pretend to care by giving you random buffs that do absolutely nothing of value and potions you can earn three dozen of just by getting off Maple Island. Enjoy, suckMaplers.

Oh this totally makes up for the downtime.

Oh yeah huh? Its only 10. F'ucking gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

This is gonna be the best Christmas ever!

Oh em gee Nexon! Its just what I wanted for Christmas! Thanks for making it the best one ever!

Hey, at least they're addressing their massive amount of downtimes and giving us some kind of... compensation (if you can call it that).

Maplemas potions, well I think I speak for everyone here: All is forgiven Nexon.

Especially those who had gear lost in various mini rollbacks.

Accepted Buffs:

20 or more W.Att/M.Att

2x exp (lol, what am I thinking)


Anything else can suck and burn. Now I'm almost scared to stay in Heney for the fear of being transformed every 2 seconds

For the easily amused note - Nexon is compensating you in thread id VD.
That just says it all.

You don't get compensated for a VD without first having been screwed. twice.

If there was a 2x exp buff, they'd just have told us that they're giving us 2x exp.

Buffs that give 20 weapon attack equate to no more than 300 snow pieces (for that 30 minute 20 wep/mag atk pot). The compensation doesnt exactly match the fault, but whatever, it was to be expected.

Whoa there Nexon... Pulling out the big guns with the maplemas potions!

They're blowing their entire 2010 budget in one shot there, eh?

They should have given away 5k NX to everyone. I would have called it even then.
(They could even profit off of it if they had enough sales after that, tempting users to buy just a little bit more NX to get that sale item that cost 5.1k NX or something)

Glad I didn't lose any items from those rollbacks.

Most likely, the GM buffs will be in major towns, where most people aren't even going to use them. The potion is simply lol. 1 potion, eh? That's all? It's nice that they're trying to compensate us, but it's more like your parents losing your Gamewboy and giving you 50 cents back to say they're sorry. Sure, it's something, but it's so insignificat that it might as well be nothing.

Oh well. I don't care much, not like I wanted anything special. Just find it humorous.

I too lol'd at the "compensation". Some more 2x would have been acceptable, perhaps on the days we don't have them (12/29 and 12/30 anyone), but from my side the fix was enough compensation.

Wow one maplemas potion i know how im going to use that!!!
