Nexon Japan may temporarily be shutting down due to earthquake

Nexon Japan has set up a donation fund where if people charge certain amounts, that money goes to the Tsunami relief fund.

They also put up notices telling players to conserve energy if at all possible.

Hope they get back on their feet soon.

Oh no.. How will I continue my Gunslinger there...?

MapleStory is the absolute least of the problems Japan has at the moment.
Due to severe damage, they have set times when you have electricity.
For example, you have it from 9am~12pm, then you have absolutely no electricity for the next 5 hours, etc.
This is going on all throughout Japan, to conserve energy.
This is said to go on all throughout April, and may even continue into May.
Don't expect JMS to be up for another couple months.

Don't expect JMS to go back to normal for another couple months.

Their servers are up, they just might go down any time. But you' are right, MS is the least of their problems at the moment. Only the most addicted and players from outer Japan must be playing in their servers right now.

OUR BLESSINGS TO JAPAN
Dear Maplers,


Five days have passed since a magnitude 9 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on Friday, 11th March 2011.

The earthquake triggered destructive tsunami waves of up to 10 meters (33 feet) high, overwhelming Japan within minutes and leaving its people with no time to react.
The earthquake and tsunami have caused extensive and severe damage in Japan across 16 prefectures, leaving thousands to tens of thousands of people dead or missing.

Many parts of the world have given their silent well wishes to the people of Japan, but we hope for more vocal blessings for those who are affected by this devastation.


Let us all extend our sincere blessings to the victims who have suffered from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, as well as to their loved ones, under a forum thread.
