Dear is censored. It becomes pear. I don't know why.

Why do they need 2 1/2 hours to set the time back?

Wasn't daylights savings a few days ago?

Nope. Happens this Sunday. Weird because it feels extremely late this year.

The hilarious thing about this is that someone on Basil was like 'This is your only chance this year to scam Nexon and turn your 4 hour EXP/Drop coupon into a 5 hour coupon!' a few hours ago. This instantly screws over his plans.

They have a SC every DS so I don't know why he'd think otherwise.

Time going backwards gives many database systems indigestion.
The safest way to deal with the end of daylight saving time is to take the database down, move the system clock back an hour, and leave the database down for at least an hour.
That way, it is sure to not have events recorded with a timestamp that is earlier than previous events.

This is just as true for the billing (NX) database as it is for the game(s) database(s).

Hmmm 90 minutes over the time alloted and the game is still offline...or it is just me?

It isn't working for me either.
I'm not getting an error message though, I see AhnLab load but nothing after that on my XP comp. My win7 laptop shows AhnLab loading twice... then nothing.
*confused*

Still offline.

I'm still seeing the "MapleStory game is currently offline." message. Even trying to launch the game through GameLauncher only nets me the "Maintenance" message and a crashed HackShield error lol
I bet someone forgot to switch the game servers online, because Vindictus and DFO came up either on time or shortly after the estimated time.

Nexon is getting lazy again. No in game Notice for this SC or the last handful and no word on what is going on here right now.

Can anyone access the game yet?
