Dear Nexon gamers,



Nexon will be performing some important upgrades to our game and web servers in order to better handle the increased activity over the holiday season. As a result, all of our Nexon games, websites and forums will be unavailable during this maintenance period. In order to maintain communication with our community and keep you updated about the progress of the update, we will be making update announcements through our Facebook pages.



If you haven't yet become a fan of our Facebook pages, you can do so at the following addresses:



Dungeon Fighter Online

Combat Arms

MapleStory

Mabinogi



Maintenance Times:

- Pacific: Sunday, December 6th, 10PM through Monday, December 7th, 12PM

- Eastern: Monday, December 7th, 1AM through Monday, December 7th, 3PM



Details:

- The upgrades will affect hardware only. You will not need to download or patch your software.

- Servers will be upgraded to handle the current and future traffic of players to our website and games.



We’ll keep you posted about any changes. Thanks for playing Nexon games!

This is not secret nexon code for "We're adding Elnido".

[Corn]

Hurray! Less lag!

...I hope.

[Liteness]

nicee, less lag would help

[Nikkey]

This is good news: Better servers is always great.

Talking about efficiency: They should fix windowed mode so that players would use less CPU and more GPU to play...

[Spideyjvc]

Hopefully they add 20 BACK TO BERA. Bera was getting packed even before they removed the channel, but now Bera really needs that extra channel.

[FrozNlite]

Heck, bring it back to ALL servers please. A general fix of lag will be very much appreciated.

Oh, and wtp? Still no word on the embarrassing mishaps of the Black Friday holiday sales? Bad form Nexon....then again, how often do they have good form?

[Jedward]

New server.

Seriously, this.

[FlameChocobo]

Heck, add 5 more channels so we can have 24 channels in Maple Story.

[y0y0y0y0shi0]

I'd rather have Mardia have 19 channels again. >.>

[shroum]

Heck, add 5 more channels so we can have 24 channels in Maple Story.

THIS PLEASE
I don't want a new server >.<

[Cynic]

THIS PLEASE
I don't want a new server >.<

Agreed, we should petition against it

[Beg]

Don't think another server is coming, they usually annouce that kind of thing explicitly. Regardless a good upgrade is required. Replacing a 256Mb stick of RAM with a 512Mb stick per server machine probably won't cut it.

[BowDangles]

Hopefully this will help with the mass amount of people making an aran next week

[Chameleonic]

14 hours for hardware...Precursor to Block Party changeover?

[Jedward]

I still think they should say SOMETHING about Black Friday Sale compensation.

ing monkeys.
Sorry, that's an insult to monkeys everywhere.

[Potora]

I'm all for reducing the lag. And the hours work out perfectly for me. It will force me to study for my finals more than get distracted on Maple.

LOL.

Monkeys > Dirt > Sh'it > Nexon > [insert person you hate]

[PirateIzzy]

Wait, what happened at the Black Friday sale?

Yeah common nexox I played hookie from work to get the gach tickets and the sysatem was jacked I guess that just another award winning move

And what time is the BIG fix gonna be done anyway

[MysticHLE]

This is good news: Better servers is always great.

Talking about efficiency: They should fix windowed mode so that players would use less CPU and more GPU to play...

It's becoming more and more common nowadays to see laptop/desktop configurations from computer manufacturers with the combination of something like: 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor/8200 Quad Core + 4GB RAM + Intel Media Accelerator 950.

And I know for a fact already that with most Intel/onboard based chipsets - at least for most laptops - the game lags frame-wise even in full screen where there're less resources used than window mode.

Very rarely would you see something like 8200 Quad Core + 4GB RAM + Nvidia/ATI...

You can't expect your average consumer to be proficient at computer selection/building just to play MapleStory. lol

What they really should do...is make MapleStory more compatible with Vista or 7 (I know people who still Vista glitches even with Vista SP1)...and make graphics drivers for 7 more robust as well. -.-
