All users are advised to safely log off by then.









- Server : All game servers.



- Time : Friday, January 20th, 5:00 am ~ 9:00 am GMT

Dear Maplers,

We have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is the patch will be delayed until the same time on Monday, January 23rd. We are sincerely sorry for this inconvenience. We know many of you were patiently waiting to explore this patch over the weekend.



The good news is the source of the delay. We are having issues implementing Akamai for our downloads. To better serve the MapleStory community, we will be providing the majority of our downloads and patches using Akamai's screaming fast service. Akamai is the global content delivery leader and powers the businesses of companies like Apple, MTV Networks, IBM, etc. During our test, we found Akamai improved download speeds by an average of 80-90%. These improvements will vary by geographic location, but we are sure most of you will experience significant improvements.



We did not publicly announce the Akamai upgrade in our patch notice to surprise our players with the performance of the patch. Again, sincerely sorry for the delay... we are trying our best to bring you the best entertainment service online and hope you can lend us your understanding during this delay.



Happy Mapling,



Sincerely,



- The MapleStory Staff -

A guild note, there is now a subforum for the Maple guilds 3nodding So please check there if you are interested in discussing guilds or being part of one affiliated with this guild.

During the last patch, two pet items, the Rudolph Hat and the Ribbon, were affected by a bug. Since the patch they are not equippable on the Rudolph pet (other pets are not affected).

This bug applies to any Rudolph pets trying to equip these two items. The bug will be fixed at the next patch.

For users that have purchased a Rudolph AND purchased either the Ribbon or the Rudolph hat BEFORE the "Big Update" patch, we will extend the expiration date of the two pet items to make up for lost time due to the bugs.

Other users are advised not to buy these items for their Rudolph pets.

Also, we will provide 1,000 bonus MaplePoints to the users affected by this bug at the sometime prior to the next patch.

We sincerely apologize for your inconvenience.

Following the patch, some users may have experienced login problems where the servers incorrectly determined that the account was already logged in.


We have since fixed the bug, so please try logging in again.
