[July 30 / Server Check] MapleStory

Well, they did say during the e3 conference they would release it in early August...

Not saying I thought it would be today too.

They also said in internal documentation that it would be a July release.

They also only included enough cs items to release up until this week, meaning that there won't be anything for them to put out this week without a patch.

The event also ends at this point, so regardless of what happens, it does appear as though it was at least previously PLANNED to be happening today/tomorrow. I think the fact that their PLAN would be is relevant enough to not automatically jump the gun and assume "ok, now it's gonna be next week".

Finally notice that although it would be a trifle unusual, they could still patch again in the next coming days. Also notice that this Friday is actually the first of August, and if they were to patch then, it would fit the criteria of basically everyone's expectations on the timing rather well, even the people going "OMG IN E3 ANNOUNCEMENT THEY SAID EARLY AUGUST NOT LATE JULY". Not like there has never been a Friday patch before.

I'm just saying, when you see this notice for a server check, don't automatically go "omg now we have to wait ANOTHER WEEEEEK". Play it by ear and you might be pleasantly surprised. And if not, no big deal... I don't know about you guys, but a week without overhyped anticipation goes by a lot faster than constantly counting down to a patch date that hasn't even been officially announced.
