[Complete] Unscheduled Maintenance - July 2, 2016

http://maplestory.nexon.net/news//14487/

We will be performing an unscheduled maintenance on Saturday, July 2, 2016 at 3:15 AM Pacific (6:15 AM Eastern).Â*We currently do not have an estimated completion time.

Thanks for your patience!

Time:

Saturday, July 2, 2016
Pacific: 3:15 AM – TBDÂ*
Eastern: 6:15 AM – TBD

What will be unavailable:

• All MapleStory game servers.
  

Wonder what's so serious that the game has to be taken down 3/4AM on a Saturday on a 3 day weekend. I was gonna login to do some DIPQ and MP runs. :/
What's even more strange is that the game was taken down with no warning in game or even the website. This notice didn't even appear until 45 minutes after the game is down. Everyone's straggling into the NxA office it seems.
I'm betting it's a server hardware failure. Or one of the Korean developers in Korea noticed something serious and took the game down.

Unfortunately, we do not have any information or a time the servers will be back up, but I promise you that this sudden maintenance is not happening without a good reason.

It's 4 AM for us here at Nexon. On a Saturday. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to be working right now. We apologize for sudden maintenance.

He also just started a forum contest that ends at 12pm. I think this USC will take a while.

Does Korea work on Saturdays? It was 7:15PM in Seoul when the game shut down.

No, but I'm sure the office isn't empty on weekends. They probably have a small ops team to make sure everything is running nicely.

EDIT:

UPDATE: We hope to have the servers back up by 6:30 AM PDT.

Â*

• An issue was discovered regarding the Free Market stores. These items have been temporarily disabled and taken down from the cash shop. All players who still have an existing store will be compensated. Details will follow later.
  

free market - possibly an item exploit or something. wonder what will happen...

From what I understand, dupes involving shops have always been a thing in this game.
I wonder what suddenly caught Nexon's attention so violently.

I'm very happy to own a Store Permit at this time, in which I had expiring items to sell.
